Thunderbird Two and Bradley in Ironbridge

Thunderbird Two and Bradley in Ironbridge

Landing and take off sound effects also feature on the large TB2 Playset which includes opening cockpit to insert Virgil and Gordon bendable micro figures, safety winch and a concealed pod for TB4, these should hopefully begin release sometime very soon. New Soundtech Vehicle 2-packs with bendÕem Action Figures are already in the market place and wonÕt be on the shelfs for long.
These are from some Australian company. Bradley and I spent a couple of hours in Ironbridge< been there loads: on a drizzily day, for ice creame, this time for once, we're just two.
I bought him, correction, he bought it in the second hand shop for a tenner. We'd bought cream tea for me, carrot cake and lemonade with a straw. Been on the bridge, and into the toll house exhibition/shop. Where he called me out because I wanted to read the exhibition plaques. I kept telling him the shush, but, we had to leave at his insistence.
Bradley lost his sticker the collectors gave to us as we walked over first time, so I gave him some more and he raced off, took a bit of shuffling before they paid him any attention, but he did it all and came back as happy and cool with a sticker on his desert baseball cap.
Into the second hand shop, he spotted a toy house with buttons on the floor, I spotted the TB2 on the shelf, brought it down for him, and two look later to the house he was fully into the Thunderbird. The sound came on, the middle plopped out, door opened to see little Thunderbird 4.
"Let's go see the rest." I persuaded him to follow me out to the back, where the bulk of the toys are kept as Amanda called us back on the mobile. "Shall we get the Thunderbird 2 'let's get to work'?" Bradley nodded. As about as definate as Bradley gets. I gave him a tenner, said, "go get it, bring it to the lady." He stood at the counter first, and the lady looked at the tenner, for a moment we were stuck, "you have to get it first, Bradley." So he did. Bought. "Do we want it in a bag Bradley?" No shook Bradley's head. So, we played with it walking back to the car, finding the buttons to let down the legs, and the grapple. Brilliant, included batteries. 'Thunderbirds are go, let's get to work' I translate the rest of the poignant catch phrases as we drive home. Bradley waves it pretend flying, vrooooom, eeeerrrrrrmmmmm, zoosh, zoooosh...
