Brilliant, eh? But what's this? If you want to buy it direct from the Early Learning Center [current] it's only £25. What do you think might be the difference? Their product description:

Can you spot the difference?
Bit difficult?
Ok - here's the promotional photo from Mothercare:
And the promotional photo for ELC:
Spot the difference yet?
How about a hint - here's the mother care one again:
"New Version" I hear you ask?
Yup - the ELC have slaughtered all the pigs on Goosefeather Farm for fear of offending Jews and Muslims.
Really. But don't worry - the pigs are still there in spirit. Ghostly pigs can still be heard haunting Goosefeather Farm, because the button that produces the Oink sounds proved a little more difficult to remove than the pig.
Oh - what's this? ELC have done a U-turn due to bad publicity? Colour me surprised.
