I like it, however I found it a little expensive  for something made of card.I like it, However, I found it a little expensive for  ssomething made of card. The postage of over 4 pounds I thought excessive as it came in a flimsey plastic bag with no packing as such. Other wise a nice thing  and a talking point for adults.
