“Best value and super delivery ! Brilliant !”
Written on: 05/04/2012
We have been looking at Bigjigs accessories for our sons birthday, to go with his train set. Take Along Toys were by far the best price and delivery to Northern Ireland was still covered in their base rate of £1.90 - I phoned to ensure this was the case and the Gentleman on the phone was very pleasant and assured me of the postage costs. We needed them within a few days and they arrived quicker than expected. We will definately be buying from tham again. Thanks (read more)

“Bigjigs railway track”
Written on: 08/03/2012 by GKTAT
We bought a selection of items to go with our existing Brio kit. Everything fits nicely and you would be hard-pressed to tell the difference between them, except that Bigjigs has a wider range of pieces. Attractively packaged components make for a desirable present for small people. Excellent price too and very quick delivery (read more)

Have been looking for more wooden train accessories for my child's growing train set, and found this site by Googling Bigjigs. Easy site to use, prices are reasonable, postage very very reasonable and my order was processed very quickly. I made an order late one evening, then another at lunchtime the following day - both parcels arrived early the next morning!

Great range of wooden trains, track etc, brilliant prices and best of all fantastic customer services. My order was delivered quickly well packaged and the team at Takealongtoys very helpful. Highly recommend this site, far better than others that are similar, would not buy train bits anywhere else now as I cannot find any fault with this company, for me you are on par with John Lewis.

A simple to use website with a very good range of TV favourites toys at good prices and a one price delivery cost of just £1.95 in the UK. I ordered 2 Thomas The Tank Engine trains and tenders online, that I'd not been able to buy in my local large Toy Store, on sunday and my parcel arrived on tuesday. What I thought was a good idea was that I didn't need to register and add a password etc, I could just order, pay by debit card and leave a contact email address and phone number....simple!I...

Written on: 11/08/2011 by Mummy-of-a-Thomas-Mad-Boy
I desperately needed to get hold of two of the new Thomas the tank engine characters to reward my 2 year old son who has eventually cracked potty training! I needed them quickly to ensure he made the link between the reward and why he was getting it! I tried all the well known toy stores - ELC, Toys R US, Mothercare, Entertainer - and they either did not have them in stock yet or were charging £5+ delivery (2-3 days). I rang 'Take along Toys' to ask about speed of delivery and was told they... (read more)

I'd been checking Amazon for the prices of the Bigjigs wooden station that my son kept asking for, and follwed a sponsered link from there to TakeAlongToys. Their price was considerably less that the Amazon market place sellers, even with the £1.95 postage charge. I ordered and as expected the package arrived the next day by courier. Excellant service, I'll be very happy to use them again. (read more)

I saw that this website had a lot of reviews when I was looking on Google for some trains, so came a read some here. I also noted that the site was advertising up to 25% off. When I got to the site, the prices were not as low as I expected.
The reductions seemed to be compared to very high initial prices so I looked at other sites to see what the normal prices charged are. The resulting price with the advertised discounts were more expensive than I found elsewhere. I thought the...
