LEGO Star Wars Minifigure Clocks £19.99 @ Argos

LEGO Star Wars Minifigure Clocks £19.99 @ ArgosOh for goodness SAKE!  Just when I think I'm done with Christmas presents for my youngest son, these LEGO Minifigure clocks come to my attention!  They look COOL and they currently have a cool 20% off at Argos too, bringing them down to £19.99 from £24.99.

Both clocks have a digital LCD display with backlight and an AM/PM indicator; there's the all-important snooze function too and come with the two AAA batteries they need to operate.

The LEGO Storm Trooper minifigure clock measures H23 x W14 x D8 cms, whilst the LEGO Darth Vadar minifigure clock is slightly 'deeper' at 9.5cms - I guess it was him who ate all the pies!

Both LEGO minifigure clocks come gift boxed and I can just picture one of them sitting by the side of my son's bed.  It's a tough call though - Darth Vadar or the Storm Trooper?  I'm leaning more towards the Storm Trooper to be honest, but that's only because Darth Vadar used to scare me when I was little.

Both are available to reserve and collect in-store, or you can pay £5.95 and have them delivered to your home.

Thomas And Friends Alarm Clock and Watch £6.27 @ MyMemory.co.uk

Thomas And Friends Alarm Clock and Watch £6.27 @ MyMemory.co.uk“PEEP PEEP! It’s time to go!” says Thomas.  MyMemory.co.uk are selling this Thomas and Friends Alarm Clock and LCD Watch gift set for just £6.27 - it should be £17.99.

I haven’t posted any Thomas the Tank Engine deal for quite a while (well it feels like it anyway), but there’s not a HUGE amount I can tell you about either the clock or the watch.

The clock - it’s round and it has two hands, a big one and a small one, and they point to any one or two of the 12 numbers on the face. It has two red bells on the top that will ring like crazy and probably make you jump out of your skin - I had a brass clock like this once, I woke up with a near heart attack every single day.

The watch is an LCD watch and has a flip-up cover on the front which features Thomas (obviously) and the strap is adjustable (again, obviously).

The clock requires one AA battery which isn't supplied, and the watch comes with its necessary Varta V392 battery.

There's no delivery to pay on this Thomas and Friends Alarm Clock and Watch gift set, so if you've got a Thomas fan who's about to embark on the journey that is learning to tell the time, then this could be an ideal little pressie for them that won't break the bank.

Buzz Lightyear Lights And Sounds Projection Alarm £12.99 @ Play

Buzz Lightyear Lights And Sounds Projection Alarm £12.99 @ PlayLook at telling the time a different way with this Buzz Lightyear 'Lights and Sounds' projection alarm.

I first came across projection clocks last year - almost a year to the day in fact! - and I was quite mesemerised by it!

The time was projected onto the ceiling and I'm not sure if the novelty would ever wear off - the one that I encountered was rather expensive but was added to my 'would quite like to have' list...I don't have one yet (did I mention it's my birthday later this month...I don't want a Buzz Lightyear one though, ok?).

Buzz Lightyear is poseable and will stand guard in your child's room projecting the time on to their ceiling; for the alarm he utters the following iconic Buzz phrases:

  • To infinity and beyond!
  • This is an intergalatic emergency. I need to commandeer your vessel to sector 12.
  • Mayday. Mayday! Come in Star Command send reinforcements. Star Command, do you copy?

He should be £29.99 but you can pick him up for £12.99, including delivery, from Play.

He doesn't appear to plug in to the mains and needs 3 AA batteries to work - I'd invest in some rechargeable ones if I were you, or take out shares in Duracell (other leading battery brands are available *grin*).
