Trio Magic Creations £9.99 @ Base.com

Base is selling the Trio Magic Creations kit for £9.99 including delivery which is a pretty good deal on a very cool set. It includes a bunch of fun activities along with plenty of clever pieces to keep kids busy for ages.

Draw with three colours at once using the Trio pens, the special nibs allow you to create cool 3D effects and each kit contains an instruction book that will explain how you can get the best out of the magic pens.

The Trio pens write or draw in three different colours at the same time. They can create swirls, curls or stripes with a single stroke. You can create gift boxes, picture frames, greeting cards and plenty more. The awesome triple colour effect means you get this weird 3D effect without any fancy special effects needed.

The set seems to include papers and pieces as well as the pens so you can get started on creative and fun projects right away.

Toy Story 1-3 Blu-ray Set £17.45 @ Base.com

Toy Story 1-3 Blu-ray Set £17.45 @ Base.com

Base.com is selling the entire Toy Story collection for only £17.45, a saving of £21.54 off the original price of £38.99. I’m not entirely sure how accurate that original price really is, I am sure if you bought all three on deals it would work out less than that.

While I may be sceptical about the total price of this set, £17.45 isn’t bad for all three Toy Story films in one box set. You get the original Toy Story where Woody and Buzz meet for the first time and Toy Story 2 where Jessie is introduced to the world.

Finally, you get Toy Story 3 with the huggable and mean Lotso Bear and the frankly terrifying Big Baby. The movies will always hold a special place in my heart, they are so darn good and well made with such clever storylines. I miss well made movies. Lately nothing seems to have anything remotely resembling a plot.

This Toy Story box set would make a fab Christmas gift for a fan or someone who’s never seen the series before.

Doctor Who Revisitation Box Set £12.59 @ Base.com

Doctor Who DVDs are usually very expensive so it’s nice to see some deals on these sneaking in here and there. Base has dropped the price on the Doctor Who Revisitation box set from £39.99 to only £12.59 and it comes with free UK delivery too.

 Doctor Who Revisitations 1 is a seven disc box set that has updated and remastered versions of three previous Doctor Who releases. The Talons of Weng-Chiang, The Caves of Androzani and Doctor Who – The Television Movie. There are also three discs that consist purely of special features.

You get commentaries from the cast and crew, the making of, original storyboards, photo galleries, coming soon trailers, PDFs (yeah, I also think that is odd), Radio Times listings (also weird) and more. The DVDs have been digitally remastered to deliver superior sound and Doctor Who awesomeness.

So, if you happen to be a huge fan of Doctor Who and would like to get your collection up to speed, then this deal should make you very happy.

Lego Star Wars Clone Wars Turbo Tank £79.99 @ Base

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 12 September, 2010 at 9:00 am

Lego Star Wars Clone Wars Turbo Tank £79.99 @ BaseThis Lego Star Wars Clone Wars Turbo Tank should be £100! So to be able to grab one for £79.99 can only be a good thing!

I am an expert when it comes to building Lego Star Wars Clone Wars space ships!

My youngest is totally mad about all things space and alien now; it's Ben 10 Alien Force and Star Wars all the way although Darth Vadar is still too scary so he's not keen on the Empire Strikes Back - he's having none of it when I tell him that it's the best of ALL the Star Wars movies!

The other day I was handed a box of lego bits, some instructions and tasked with building a Lego Star Fighter something or other (there are so many I can't remember which is which), there were 30 pages of instructions and it took me about 45 minutes.

I had a GREAT time and so did my youngest as he was the 'foreman' and I was the 'builder' - it was a total win-win situation and I think that's often the case with these big Lego Star Wars creations.

Lego Star Wars Clone Wars Turbo Tank £79.99 @ BaseIf you have older Star Wars Lego fans then this Lego Star Wars Clone Wars Turbo Tank would make a great main birthday or Crimbo pressie.

If YOU'RE the big Star Wars fan then I have a feeling you're going to love it as it comes packed with lots of extra mini figures and bits and pieces!

There's no delivery to pay either if you're ordering with the UK.

Charlie and Lola's Favourite and Best Music Record (Music CD) £2.51 @ Base

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 9 August, 2010 at 8:00 am

Charlie and Lola's Favourite and Best Music Record (Music CD) £2.51 @ BaseI am completely ready to listen to Charlie and Lola's Favourite and Best Music Record CD now!

Charlie and Lola are just SO awesome!

I really like the concept of teaching kids little life lessons but sometimes it can come across as either a bit patronising, or so sickly sweet you just want to throw up! Charlie and Lola manages to be neither whilst still getting its message across.

I have been known to watch Charlie and Lola when I'm on my own and there are no children in the house, the teenagers like to watch it too you see!

I wonder if they'd like this Charlie and Lola's Favourite and Best Music Record CD too?

It's such a good price that I could easily buy a serious copy for my youngest and then 'joke' copies for the teenagers!  Base.com have reduced it from £10.29 down to £2.51 and there's no charge for UK deliveries either - you've got to love that!

Charlie and Lola's Favourite and Best Music Record (Music CD) £2.51 @ BaseThe track listing is as follows:

  • Charlie And Lola Theme
  • I Really Want To Play Music
  • Bestest In The Barn
  • Boo
  • Sizzles
  • I Will Not Ever Eat A Tomato
  • Milk Monkeys
  • Germs
  • Magic
  • Bat Cat
  • Lolaland
  • Greendrops
  • I Am Not Sleepy
  • Martian Attack
  • All Sleepy
  • Can You Maybe Turn The Light On
  • Its Snowing

I am completely ready to let you go and buy Charlie and Lola's Favourite and Best Music Record CD  now!

Shrek Interactive DVD Game £2.87 @ Base.com

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 13 June, 2010 at 4:00 pm

Shrek Interactive DVD Game £2.87 @ Base.comI wonder if there is anyone out there in the big wide world who has seen Shrek but didn't love it...?

I could watch the Shrek movies over and over, I love how they work on a dual level - one for the grown ups and one for the kids. Grown ups hold Shrek fancy dress parties, kids have Shrek themed birthday parties; all in all, everyone loves a bit of Shrek madness.

So this interactive 'Totally Tangled Tales' Shrek DVD is bound to be a winner with all family members, especially as Base.com have slashed the price from £19.99 to £2.87, and there's no delivery charges to pay either.

It has over 1600 video, picture and audio questions, you can write your own bonkers fairytales  and adjust the question difficulty according to how old each player is.

There are 10 fun question types and  'Skipper Spins' and 'Double Or Nothing' random elements for that wildcard extra 'something', along with live-action scenes with John Cleese and some all-new storybook animations for everyone's viewing delight.
