I keep finding it for £200 on ebay, im a full time care assistant for my girlfriend. I don't get alot of money unfortunately and I don't want to pay £200 for one. Hopefully I can get one for the future. I also want to get a scout trooper on its own. Thank you so for the awesome videos you do. Keep up the awesome and amazing work you do mate. 😎👍
