Where in Raleigh area to buy train table? (Durham, Cary: coupon, consignment) - Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary - North Carolina (NC) -The Triangle Area - City-Data Forum

I'm looking for a wooden train table to buy in the Raleigh area.

I can find them online...Toys R Us, Wal Mart, etc. but they have to be ordered and shipped and I'd like to have it asap.

Does anyone know of any stores in the area that have them in stock?

Thanks!

Brilliant Sky might have them. Not something I've looked for in awhile, but I think I've seen them there. Maybe give a call and ask??

Try the craft stores like Michael's and A.C. Moore. I've seen them there in the past. Maybe the smaller toy stores like Learning Express as well.

Craigslist, if you do not need new.

I would call Tom's Train Station on Buck Jones in South Hills.

Thanks! I called AC Moore and they "may" get some in for Christmas. Learning Express was out of them...said they'll be coming in soon. Brillant Sky took my info. and said they'd get back to me.

The hunt continues!

Craigslist had a couple...one had sold and other has someone coming to look at it. They go fast!

Tom's had a HUGE one that was over $250! I was hoping for one by Kidkraft that is around $100.

Thanks!

Costco used to carry them for the Christmas season - not sure if they have them yet. But continually look on Craigslist because they are constantly on there. I have a Thomas fanatic at my house, and that is where I bought mine. Call around to kids' consignment stores, too. I saw one last week at Red Hen in University Mall. It was a Thomas one and it was $160. I don't know if it's still there.

Kangaroo Pouch on Guess Road in Durham has had a few over the last year. Definitely worth a call!

Target has one- I would try the Super Target in Apex.

Which AC Moore did you call? When I bought my son the Thomas one, Apex was out but Cary Crossroads had it in stock. And you can use the 50% coupon

Tom's should have it- but I feel they are the most expensive.

Did you try Toys R Us? They should have the Thomas and the other brand too (kolcraft?).
