Advantages: Good for long hour of play, now more features Disadvantages: Was hard to find, vehicles still are, some choking hazards, now made in plastic
...phase for most kids wanting Thunderbird stuff probably started with the release of the Tracy Island and vehicle set.
Much like Buzz Lightyear, which came a little while after, every child wanted one, and shops didn’t have enough in stock.
Then one afternoon, something strange happened, it was on Blue Peter, one of the most wholesome shows for kids on t.v- as if! It was back when Anthea Turner was on the show. They actually had made a Tracy ... ...the last time we see ThunderBird stuff on the shelves, what with the movie coming next year.
For those of you who don’t know Tracy Island is the hidden base of IR- International Rescue, made up of members of the Tracy family, and their close friends.
IR deal with emergencies that other emergency services just aren’t equipped to do.
They use a variety of machines to do this, 5 of which are known as the ThunderBirds (well six if you’ve ...

Advantages: My son was happy when we finally found one Disadvantages: Cheaply made, too expensive and accessories not sold with it
Yes I was ripped off or rather my son was. Before Christmas. Jamie (who is four) noticed on a television advert that in the shops for sale was a Thunderbirds Tracey Island. Of course being a boy and Thunderbirds mad he wanted one. We searched everywhere. The whole family looked, friends looked. An Uncle who was visiting America even said he would look over there. Yes sounds daft and desperate. But Jamie has presents just once a year. His birthday ... ...his friends a few weeks before and a separate day for opening his birthday presents we do try to make it special and get him something he really wants as he has to wait another year to ask again. But as it was Christmas the makers of this toy presented by Carlton Television had jumped on the hype bandwagon and not supplied enough. Therefore ensuring a frenzy of Mums and Dads trying to get the toy for their child. We were unable to get the toy. So ...

Advantages: nice toys Disadvantages: don't get vehicles with it
...especially with boys. There is Thunderbird 5, Thunderbird 4, Thunderbird 3, 2 and 1. Where do they keep all these crafts? In Tracy Island, of course! Tracy Island is an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Jeff Tracy owns Tracy Island. It looks quite small on the outside, but is really big on the inside, like the TARDIS!
Thunderbird 5 lives in space and receives messages then sends them to Jeff. Thunderbird 4 lives at the bottom of Tracy ... ...2 AA batteries.

Advantages: Popular toy, not as flimsy as I thought it would be Disadvantages: Hard to find in the shops, fairly expensive, no batteries
...Island and the set of Thunderbird Rockets that say the phrases. There was also a Thunderbird Video in with the Tracy Island which was an unexpected extra. When we got home we put batteries in (I do think they could have supplied them - only takes 2xAA) and we tested it before Adam came back from school. We were pleased with the performance and are glad that we have bought it for him.
I can't wait for Christmas, as I can't wait to play with it. ...
