20% Off All Nerf Guns @ The Toy Shop

The Toy Shop, also known as The Entertainer, has marked down all their nerf guns by 20%. You will find some truly bizarre and awesome creations in the sale which are brilliant for outdoor fun and games. Not that I approve of guns, but anyway…

The Nerf guns on offer include the Nerf N-Strike Longstrike Cs-6 which is down to £27.99 and hits targets from 10m away with foam darts. The Nerf N-Strike Raider Rapid Fire CS-35 is down to £25.99 and fires darts from the magazine drum.

The Nerf Tactical Vest Kit is down to £21.60, the Nerf N-Stroke Deploy CS-6 is under £20, as is the Nerf N-Strike Recon CS-6.

I am not a fan of guns or gun games. I guess it’s because I grew up in a country where guns and violence were ever present. I would not allow my child to play with these, but respect the fact that other people do.

Are you for or against?

Crazerasers Series 1 £5 @ The Toy Shop

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 3 June, 2011 at 12:00 pm

Crazerasers Series 1 £5 @ The Toy Shop

This is a rather brilliant price for a 48 eraser pack that usually costs £3-£4 per pack. These are the ultimate in collectable erasers apparently and this deal will get you started on quite an impressive collection. Originally this set was selling for £24 but now it is only £5. A total bargain.

The Crazerasers are amazing little pencil rubbers for kids aged six and up. They measure about 3cm tall and come in a huge variety of fantastic shapes so they are ideal for people who like to collect this sort of thing.

This great value set contains all 48 rubbers in the Crazerasers series 1 which is a whopping saving off what you’d pay if you bought these packs individually. They come in 12 separate packs, too, so they are perfect for party bags. In fact, I kind of need stuff for party bags and am going to snap this up right this very minute.

Each of the 12 packs has four erasers in it with funky themes from saws to saucepans.

Timmy Time Nursery School Playset £19.99 @ The Toy Shop

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 28 March, 2011 at 4:00 pm

Timmy Time Nursery School Playset £19.99 @ The Toy Shop

The Timmy Time nursery school playset has been marked down from £29.99 to £19.99 at the Toy Shop but that doesn’t include free delivery. The Timmy Time playset is actually rather fabulous and would make a stunning present for a little one.

This beautifully made Timmy Time nursery has Timmy wearing his painting overalls along with Yabba the duck. The playset includes a magic reveal easel complete with a brush, and a working cuckoo clock. How cute is that?

The Timmy Time nursery school playset comes with a shelving unit that has two removable shelves, a football and a toy box that has a little train secreted inside. The set is fabulous for encouraging imaginative play in kids and is great for kids over the age of three.

There are some small parts so younger children are not recommended to play with it, but older kids will have hours of fun with the Timmy Time nursery playset.

Toy Story 10 Piece Dough Set £5 @ The Toy Shop

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 18 March, 2011 at 3:00 pm

Toy Story 10 Piece Dough Set £5 @ The Toy Shop

What we have here is a fabulous Toy Story dough set that used to cost £10 but now only costs £5, a lovely half price bargain for creative Toy Story fans out there. The Toy Shop (also known as The Entertainer – not sure why they have two names) is offering this deal up with glee.

The Toy Story 10 piece dough set is ideal for kids over the age of three and comes with a dough extruder (sounds painful) and two stencils to squeeze out dough patterns. There are also Toy Story shaped cookie cutters to create the cool characters from the movie.

The lids of the pots of dough also have Toy Story mould shapes on them so you can create mini characters as well. The dough set comes with two tubs of dough and a play mat that features Woody and Buzz.

I’ll be honest, I wouldn’t have paid £10 for this Toy Story dough set, not with it only including two pots of dough. But for a fiver this has become far better value for money.

Disney Princess, Cars And Toy Story 3 Magnetic Drawing Boards £7.50 @ The Toy Shop.com

by Lynley Oram in Deals on 24 December, 2010 at 9:00 am

Disney Princess, Cars And Toy Story 3 Magnetic Drawing Boards £7.50 @ The Toy Shop.comIt is that time of the year when if you've been lucky enough to kept some money aside you'll be able to properly stock up the presents drawer for the year to come! These Disney character magnetic drawing boards have been reduced by more than half, from £20 to £7.50, by The Toy Shop.com. There's also a Spongebob one but I ran out of room in the title!

The link above will take you to the Cars magnetic drawing board. Alternatively click on these links for the Disney Princess one, and the Toy Story 3 magnetic drawing board.

I absolutely love these, even as an adult! On the face of it, they're pretty limited in what you can do with them. And yet it is fascinating. Somehow even a scribble is strangely satisfying. You make your pictures, and then they all wipe clean. For a parent it is great that there's no batteries, ink or paper required!

This arts and crafts set (as the website calls it, personally I think it is just a toy) includes a large drawing board, 4 fun shaped stampers, a pen  and an eraser. A built in carry handle makes it easy to take the Magnetic Drawing kit with you wherever you go. It is recommended for ages from 4 upwards.

The 15cm Humoungosaur figure from Ben 10 was just £6. A 600 piece Mega Bloks box was half price at £10. My only disappointment is that the site doesn't seem to carry Lego or its junior version Duplo.

Up To 75% Off Toys @ The Toy Shop.comMy favourite bargain on the site (can't you tell I've got a boy!) is the Thomas & Friends Wooden Thomas & Rheneas Dino Set, marked down from £49.99 to £24.99. We've got this one and it is just fab, my son has had hours of fun playing with it. This is a 19 piece set that includes the Rheneas engine, dinosaur bones cargo, dinosaur tunnel, track pieces, and a cut out dinosaur.

Bladez Micro Remote Control Helicopter £13.49 @ The ToyShop

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 24 October, 2010 at 12:00 pm

Bladez Micro Remote Control Helicopter £13.49 @ The ToyShopThese Bladez Micro Remote Control INDOOR helicopters are likely to fly off the shelves at The Toy Shop - especially as they've been reduced from £26.99 down to £13.49!

Years ago I  bought my eldest a remote control helicopter for his birthday, it wasn't huge but you had to fly it outdoors.

I'll never forget hearing him sob as it disappeared over the trees into the next field over; there was a bit of an art to flying this thing and it took me a week of tracing the field in a grid pattern to find it.

He was reluctant to fly it after his first traumatic helicopter piloting experience *sigh*

Maybe I  should have started him off with one of these Bladez Micro Remote Control Helicopters - they are small and designed to be flown inside.

They fly up and down and move left and right, so there's no need to worry about them being flown at top speed into your TV screen!

30 minutes of charging will give you between six to eight minutes of flying time, has a range of 12 meters and is suitable for kids aged eight and over.

Standard delivery is £3.95 or you can collect instore for free.

12 Assorted Children’s Puzzles £12.99 @ The Toy Shop

Here is an awesome Christmas gift pack. The Toy Shop are selling twelve assorted children’s puzzles in one big bumper pack for only £12.99 (that’s almost £1 a puzzle!) and, if you use the voucher below, you can get even more off that price.

The twelve puzzles are each individually boxed with different themes and pictures. If you were a cunning sort, you could divvy them up into stockings across your whole family and still have some left spare for journeys, birthdays, and unexpected present requirements.

The puzzle themes include Princess, Airport, Busy Building Site, My First 3D Football puzzle, My First 3D helicopter puzzle, My First 3d Jungle puzzle, Giant Fair Ground, Giant Noah’s Ark, Dancing Princess, Fun Fairytale, Underwater, and the Farm.

It’s a whopping collection and frankly my fingers are itching to buy it! The only worry I have is whether or not people will start cottoning onto my bulk buy as every child in the birthday circle seems to get a puzzle…

Hornby City Industrial Train Set £50 @ TheToyShop.com

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 30 June, 2010 at 8:00 am

Hornby City Industrial Train Set £50 @ TheToyShop.com For die-hard train fans there is nothing but Hornby and don't you dare try to fob them off with cheap imitations!

So let me get this right - you put all the track together and then the trains chug round and round, right? And that's it...?

OK, I don't get the whole drooling over train sets that boy kids do (and I'm including the grown-up ones in that too), I really don't! So if there are any train-obsessed PlayPennies dads out there reading this, maybe you'd enlighten me!

But for those who do 'get it', I have a feeling this is going to be a great deal for you. The Toy Shop have reduced this Hornby City Industrial train set from £120 to just £50 and there is NO DELIVERY to pay either.

Hornby City Industrial Train Set £50 @ TheToyShop.com It comes with all the following bits and pieces:

  • Locomotive
  • 3 wagons; 7 plank wagon, lowmac and load and 12 ton vent van
  • A 4 wheel blue coach
  • Oval track (00 guage - made up of curves, straights and 1 set of points, plus a power track piece for connecting your train controller and transformer.)
  • Accessories
  • Trackmat
  • Train controller
  • Transformer

It's suitable for train buffs six years and older and you'll need to have a clear space of 160 cm x 128 cm to run it.

Sleeping Bag Sets £5 each @ The Toy Shop

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 10 June, 2010 at 10:00 am

Sleeping Bag Sets £5 each @ The Toy ShopKids LOVE camping and playing in tents and whilst I utterly loathe camping, I adore the price of this deal!

Ok, I used to really enjoy camping out in my brother's two-man tent overnight, kipping in sleeping bags and feeling that scared-excited rush of adrenalin when the lights went out indoors and my mum went to bed.

Sleeping Bag Sets £5 each @ The Toy ShopNow I'm more of a 5-star hotel with butler service kind of 'camper' but I can guarantee kids still LOVE to play camping!  These sleeping bag sets from The Toy Shop are utterly brilliant in my opinion and such a bargain, I might just have to name them as my deal of the day.

Originally £15, you now get a sleeping bag with its own backpack to pack it away in and a matching water bottle and torch all for....wait for it....FIVE POUNDS! I know! What a bargain hey!

There is a 'spaceship' set for boys and a pretty pink and green 'forest' type one for little girlies.  The torch doesn't come with batteries - it takes two big C ones (the C stands for 'chunky' battery by the way) - although you can add them to your order which bumps the price up to £8.

Sleeping Bag Sets £5 each @ The Toy ShopIf you really want to go all out then you might be interested in the sleeping bag AND tent combo' set!  Available in both the spaceship and pretty forest designs for £14.99 (reduced from £29.99).

Standard delivery is £3.95, express £5.95 and delivery is free on orders over £30.

In The Night Garden Upsy Daisy Dress £5 @ The Toy Shop

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 23 January, 2010 at 7:00 pm

In The Night Garden Upsy Daisy Dress £5 @ The Toy ShopThis delightful little Upsy Daisy dress from the In The Night Garden series is just adorable and selling for an even more adorable price of only £5 from The Toy Shop. I’ve also encountered some lovely voucher codes to drop the price even further thanks to my friends at Hot UK Deals

The entire set comes with three pieces including a stripey long-sleeved top with yellow flowers and a back velcro fastening, stripey trousers and a petal skirt with elastic waist and a rather startling headband. The set is very cute, one size fits all (2-5) and is machine washable too (yay!). 

I must admit that the picture of a little girl wearing the outfit, probably down the two years old end of the scale, does look ridiculously big on her. Still, most little girls won’t care if it isn’t exactly high fashion and will love wearing In The Night Garden Upsy Daisy Dress £5 @ The Toy Shopit. 

If you use the voucher code VC5 to get five percent off all orders then you’ll drop the price down even further. There is a postage cost of £3.95 so this discount should help.
