If you've not had enough toys enter your life this last week, or you're already on the lookout for Christmas presents, the set from Next is only £7.00 down from an original £16.00.

• Choo-choo over to Next for some fairground fun

The Thomas at the Sodor Fair set is recommended for children over 3 years old, and based on the reviews, this is one of those cases where the age limit is best adhered to for maximum enjoyment.

The set includes Thomas, blocks, a fair tent and working ferris wheel, and ramps which can be built and rebuilt for hours of fun. The set is also interchangeable and can be mixed with other Thomas sets to build your Thomas world.

One Amazon review – where the set is on sale for £15.00- says the set is very flimsy and falls apart easily, but another says “Yes, of course, if you push too hard or unevenly distribute weight on the blocks/track once built it will fall over and come apart. That's kinda the point of blocks instead of say the wooden track.”

Guess it depends on how you build it, and how stressed your little one will be by having to play with Megabloks all day long ;)

It's a Mega Bloks half price hatrick for me today - Argos are also selling this 1000-piece Mega Bloks Micro Bloks tub for half price too; £14.99 instead of £29.99.

If your little one has outgrown their chunky mega bloks now and is up for something a little more challenging, then this tub of 1000 Mega Bloks Micro Bloks pieces will do just that.

Just like Lego used to be, apparently, this vast number of brightly coloured building blocks can be turned into just about anything and everything their imagination sets its heart on.

With 1000 pieces there's enough here for everyone to build at the same time without scrabbling around for the right sized pieces you need to finish off your Mega Bloks Micro Blocks creation.

I'm trying my best not to imagine the horror of 1000 pieces of Mega Bloks Micro Blocks strewn all over the floor, but at least the tub they come in is deep, strong and sturdy and has a secure snap-on lid.

You can have your 1000-piece Mega Bloks Micro Blocks tub delivered for £5.95 or collect for free if your local Argos has it in stock.

Happy building!

Argos are letting tubs of Mega Bloks Mini Blocks go for half price at the moment.

It doesn't matter to me whether I build with properly trademarked Lego, giant Mega Bloks, normal Mega Bloks or Mini Mega Bloks (a bit of an oxymoron if ever there was one!), I just love building things with them.

The other day, me and my youngest built a 'mega awesome' (his words) Mega Bloks castle for his Bakugan's to live in.  It was huge, it was sturdy and it had turrets and doors and everything.

I'm not sure who had the most fun to be honest, him or me, but we were playing together and that was great - I was also named the best Mega Bloks castle-builder EVER.

This tub of Mini Mega Bloks comes with 200 brightly coloured pieces for your building delight, in a robust and deep tub (there are few things more infuriating than a tub that's just not big enough again once you've taken everything out of it!) that has a snap-on lid.

The usual price for these Mini Mega Bloks tub is £29.99, Argos have reduced it to £14.99 and it's avaliable for home delivery (but for £5.95 why would you!?) or collection at your local Argos subject to stock.
