See that little dino on the wardrobe, at the upper right of the photo? That was one of my first purchases of Safari Ltd. toys, and I have bought many since. And now...
I am so thrilled to offer a wonderful giveaway of TWO Safari Ltd. products to one of my readers!
Safari's TOOBS sets are among my favorites of their products. Like other Safari products, they are well-made and lively replicas--the Around the World and Trains sets present so many great opportunities for mini scenes, in 1:12 and larger scales. Have a look at these realistic painted rubber pieces!
I will be giving away one Around the World set and one Trains set to one lucky reader!
