Anyone know about ELC happyland storage boxes?

[LoPanda]

Hello,

We had a few happyland toys for DD for Xmas and I've seen some fab storage boxes that fold down to a Happyland playmat too going used with some bundles of happyland stuff on eBay, but I can't find them anywhere new.

Does anyone know if they still sell these or maybe are just out of stock for Xmas? I wouldn't mind a used one but all the ones on eBay are either bad condition and worn or in massive job lots.


Hope someone can help! Thanks x

they usually sell them at elc- saw a few online just before xmas- so think they'll just be out of stock, we have one (We have tonnes of happyland so use this to store the one set she has down at a time)
they're fab, same as all happyland i wouldnt pay full price at all though hun, wait for a code or something x

Have your tried looking in your local store? Sometimes stuff is out of stock online but in the shops. If they don't have it they should be able to tell you when/if they are getting it back in stock

I got mine in mothercare but not that impressed really its small, cant fit hardly anything in it x

We got one last Christmas with lots of Happyland things. Not cheap but I really like it - Tom loves playing with it and now he can open the zips up himself and he likes putting all his animals on the lid which doubles up as a garden.

I picked a pink one up in the sale before Christmas.

They sold the old design off - and if I remember correctly, released a universal one before Christmas (they used to have a boys and girls version).

I wouldn't recommend. The idea is fab and the playmat is good, but the storage functionality is poor. LO has the Rosebud cottage and you have to put it on its side to fit it in. You certainly wouldn't fit any other Happyland bits in. The box is also weak. I was tidying away and put a small and light duplo box on top and the lid sunk in and won't go back in.

I got one for my little girl for christmas i had to get it off ebay but it was brand new!.

I must admit i love it, It stores all the little bits in so she doesn't lose them (shes only 15 months). At the minute it has the happyland zoo in it and it still has room for more!

Obviously you cant store the bigger bits of happyland in it but its great for keeping the smaller collections together.

I have one - Its called a 'store n play' if that helps? x

We have it and it is good but we have five pieces of happyland and need a second box! x

I sold ours as found it pointless, it doesn't hold much and ella preferred to sit in it than use as a playmat. we have our happyland in a plastic storage box now and just get the bits she wants out.

I've had my happyland box since Christmas so far I'm happy with it it stores all of the small pieces and people but not my cottage and boot! It was from early learning centre I think they cost £22 but they always send me 25% off vouchers so you can get it cheaper.

Thanks for all the replies I will keep my eye out, I was under the impression it was big and would keep all the buildings in too, but I suppose they can go on a shelf somewhere and the box would keep all the people and bits together

I think I've heard that it's no longer being made, but don't hold me to that as I could be very wrong.
