I'm on the hunt for a set for my trailer loving boy for Christmas but I don't really know what to look for. I hardly ever go into a toy store but I did today and there's just nothing like what I'm after, so I thought with world wide BW knowledge I might be able to come up with some ideas that I can then see if I can find somewhere in NZ!!
The problem is we have a few trailers for his matchbox type cars, but they aren't very interchangeable which frustrates him (eg he wants the green truck to tow the horse float but it can't because they don't line up properly. Or what he's LOVE to do above all else would be to connect all his trailers into a long line but our trailers can't tow anything (I've tried explaining that that doesn't happen in real life!
). So I'd love a set that had a couple of vehicles that towed different things that he could swap around. The other thing I thought of was a airport baggage carrier cart set since that is one instance where a car does carry multiple trailers.
And yes I do realise that trains do the same thing, and he does love trains, but not as much as trailers, so I'd love to search something out if I can. He spends ages creating his own towing systems for his bigger cars out of rubber bands and various other things!
