They are great fun and, normally, great value for money. The starting price for this one is about the maximum I'd pay. They normally sell for between £4 - £6. | ||||

i googled the name 'victoria' and it came up with this http://www.poppopboats.co.uk/ours...486958-Victoria-Pop-Pop-Boat.html

That must be a particularly rare example, then
There are some big ones that are expensive but that one looks about the same size as normal. I have 3, one I payed about £5 for, the other two I payed about £4 for. If you want to start collecting them seriously then, yes, you should seek out the rare and interesting ones, but if you just want a bit of fun then one for £5 is as good as one for £25 (IMHO). I think James used to have some for sale at very good prices. I don't know if he has any left. |

they look fun, keep meaning to pick one up myself but haven't seen a design I like yet. What about the Titanic one on ebay, gonna need a bigger bath. | ||||
| dervard94 |
I've got a few, they're really good fun.
The Titanic one doesn't work overly well, I've got a spare boiler and pipes and may fit a 2nd boiler to it. I payed £5 for mine, and £7.50 for the Titanic. |

| gremlin |
is the Titanic underpowered then, it's a good deal larger than the little speedboat type. | ||||
| dervard94 |
Yes, it has exactily the same boiler as the little speedboats, two boilers I think would work well. | ||||

| Ross |
i have one of those portable swimming pools in my garden each summer i just stumbled across the boat and it jogged my memory didn't realise how cheap they were |

Last I knew, our own admin James was a reseller of pop pop boats, drop him a pm. | ||||
| Ross |

I have sold all my pop pop collection but the best one I had - and a nice large boat to have - is the Titanic Pop Pop boat. These are available at a good price from ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAP...mp;viewitem=&salenotsupported
I had an early printed box version of it and sold it on ebay for £50 back in April
