As we’re in the full swing of the British summer (well, there’s a glimmer of sun poking through some clouds at least) it seems only natural that we turn our attention to Christmas. There’s not long to go now you know, just 174 shopping days left!!!
With that in mind Woolies has made its predictions for […]

It sounds too… well I was going to say too good to be true, but let’s face it it’s more too scary to be true. SEGA Toys have announced a robot girlfriend, targeting those lonely, game playing nerds. Yes, all of them.

Don’t you wish you could go back in time and buy Star Wars toys like these? Most of the toys in this advert cost less than a pound each when they were released, but are worth a small fortune now. I’d never even heard of the Radio Controlled R2D2 that’s in this ad either.

Scottish singer Sandi Thom has said that the day she lost all of her original Star Wars toys as the saddest moment of her young life. Quite right too if you ask me.

If you’ve got more money than sense (like anyone would admit to that) and you’ve got kids who just love to be spoiled, why not get them one of these £1,239 Ferraris? Peddle powered (so has a total of 1 kid power, instead of 600 horse power) the car will go from 0-quite slow in […]
