Lego Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles £35.97 @ Amazon

Lego Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles £35.97 @ Amazon

Amazon is selling the Lego Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles kit for £35.97 instead of £49.99. This is a saving of £14.02 off the original price and you are also eligible for free super saver delivery.

This is a pretty cool Lego kit and it amazes me that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are still here today. They disappeared for a while and now they seem to be back with a vengeance! This Lego Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles kit features a Turtle video game station with flat screen TV, skateboard ramp, rotating training dummy, opening manhole cover and an exploding wall.

The accessories include two skateboards, TNT, pizza, trash can, lamp post, spiral staircase, ooze canisters, and dripping ooze elements. You get 10 weapons and a turtle catapult and some of the turtles themselves in the case – I think you get Master Splinter too, but there is little information on the minifigures in the product description.

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 9 June, 2013 at 3:00 pm

 Transformers 3 Cyberverse Ark Set £15 @ Tesco Direct

This is a seriously cool price for the Transformers 3 Cyberverse Ark set. It was originally on sale for £33.97 and then it was reduced to £17 and now it is only £15. That is a nice saving of £18.97 off the usual retail price for a very big toy.

Uncover the secrets hidden inside the Transformers Dark of the Moon Cyberverse Autobot Ark. The Ark brought the Autobots to Earth, and now holds the secret to defeating the Decepticons. Starting off as a spacecraft that bristles with guns, the Transformers Ark opens up to transform into an exciting space station play set that lights up and has its own battle sound effects.

The space station has extra firearms, space for your other Autobot action figure and even a holding cell to stash captured Decepticon prisoners. It features a pair of gun turrets with firing missile weapons, whether used as a spacecraft or battle station. The Cyberverse Ark also comes with an exclusive Autobot Roller action figure that transforms into a lunar exploration vehicle. The set asks you to feed it two AA batteries and it’s really for kids over the age of five.

Mike The Knight Electronic Sword £4.30 @ Amazon RRP £9.99

by Lynley Oram in Deals on 8 June, 2013 at 3:00 pm

Mike The Knight Electronic Sword £4.30 @ Amazon RRP £9.99If you have a child who loves Mike the Knight this is a great gift. Actually it is a great gift for any child that likes a sword (and trust me, nearly all do. I know I did). This Mike the Knight Electronic Sword has been reduced by Amazon to £4.30 including delivery from the RRP of £9.99. That's a saving of 57%.

Mike the Knight, in case you don't know it, is a TV programme on the BBC children's channel, CBeebies. My son has grown out of watching this channel now, and I have to say I rather miss it.

Your child can let their imagination come alive with this electronic sword. With swishing and clanging noises and the Mike the Knight theme tune, there is plenty to keep any youngster entertained.

All the product customer reviews are positive. This typical of what they had to say. "My 3 year old son LOVES this toy. Is made of soft foam so doesn't hurt if he does catch his twin sister. He loves the music/sounds it makes but can be a bit annoying."

Cosy Village Magic Bakery Treats £1.35 @ Amazon

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 3 June, 2013 at 4:00 pm

Cosy Village Magic Bakery Treats £1.35 @ Amazon

This is a stupendous deal from Amazon. The original price for the Cosy Village Magic Bakery Treats kit is £7.99 and they have dropped the price by £6.64 to only £1.35. That is an astonishing saving of 83% on this adorable kit that looks ever so tasty.

The Cosy Village Magic Bakery set includes delicious play bakery foods for fun pretend play. They have been freshly baked at the Cosy Village bakery and there are six pieces of food in the kit. You get a cupcake, a bread roll, a bagel, a pain aux raisins, croissant and a macaroon. The latter magically changes colour when it is placed in the Magic Oven or Bakery.

The last two items are, of course, not part of this kit and you’d need to buy them separately. The Magic Bakery is £50 on Amazon at the moment which is quite a high price and it hasn’t had very good reviews either.

Rumbly Tumbly Pooh £12.15 @ Debenhams Was £27

by Lynley Oram in Deals on 1 June, 2013 at 4:00 pm

Rumbly Tumbly Pooh £12.15 @ Debenhams Was £27This really cute Rumbly Tumbly Pooh has been reduced by Debenhams from £27 to £13.50. A total of 50% off. But you can get another 10% off using the code FR64 to make it £12.15. The best bit is that this includes delivery, as standard delivery is free on the Debenhams' website. Not sure how long that will last, but it has been free for a while. Be lovely if it is permanent.

Can you hear Winnie the Pooh s rumbly tumbly? Lift the Hunny Pot to Winnie the
Pooh s mouth to hear the echo as he hums away to the Rumbly Tumbly song. Remove
the Pot and he will continue to happily hum along with a full tummy but not for
long!

The toy is suitable for children aged one year and older. It measures 26.5cm high, 18cm wide, and 21 cm deep. The dimensions of the box (in case you need this - for wrapping purposes maybe if it is a present?) are 32cm high, 20cm wide and 24cm deep.

The toy does require 2 x AA batteries, and a set of these are included. If you're buying as a gift I might include a set of batteries as well. In my experience, the batteries supplied don't tend to last as long as ordinary batteries, and there's nothing worse than a disappointment if the batteries don't work at all.

Blackspur Children's Tent £4.74 @ CPC

by Lynley Oram in Deals on 30 May, 2013 at 11:00 am

Blackspur Children's Tent £4.74 @ CPCThere may be a summer this year. I know looking out the window it doesn't seem likely. But we will get some sunny and warm days I'm sure! And even if we don't, this tent can go up in the lounge for a bit of fun on rainy days too. This Blackspur Children's Tent is £4.74 including delivery at CPC.

These little tents go up easily enough and can be really handy. During the warmer months, pop it on the patio or in the garden. Can be a little bit of fun too if it starts raining a little bit. Novelty value! Also good to take camping with you. I wouldn't sleep in it, but it provides a private space for the little ones, and someplace to throw their toys.

At the beach it provides some shade for little ones, and again, a bit of a shelter and somewhere to play. Handy if you are there for the whole day.

Features include:

  • Polyester construction with waterproof groundsheet
  • Supplied with pegs and carry/storage bag
  • Dimensions (HxWxD) - 88 x 120 x 120cm

Bottle Sand Art Review

by Tamsin Oxford in Reviews on 27 May, 2013 at 5:00 pm

Bottle Sand Art Review

I was walking through Amazon’s lovely children’s toys section the other day when I came across the Bottle Sand Art by Kandy Toys and couldn’t resist snapping it up. The pictures on the box look amazing. The final product was sort of awesome, but there are a couple of problems.

The set I bought I got for £4.50 off Amazon and it came with free Super Saver delivery and inside the box you got four bottles of varying sizes, a sand pourer, a sand sculpting stick, a green scoop and four packets of coloured sand. Do not expect the sand to be the same colour as in the box, it’s not.

The set is very easy to use and my daughter absolutely loved it. We sat in the office and immediately started creating our sand art, erm, art. The first bottle we made was actually perfect. The sand didn’t blur or mess and my daughter managed to get the colours to tilt in various directions. We have it displayed in the lounge and I have to say that I am really pleased with it.

The next bottle worked out almost as well, but by now our sand had been exposed to the atmosphere and it didn’t seem to be having fun with that at all. By the time we hit the third bottle, however, the sand was sticking to the side and even though the sand piles inside were perfect, you couldn’t see them through the horrible mess that was all over the bottle. I was very disappointed with that, and the fact that there wasn’t enough sand for the final bottle to finish. My daughter was gutted.

Still, the price is good for what you get and it is such fun to make cool designs. I would recommend it, but pop the sand into airtight containers so it doesn’t get too moist.

Moshi Rox Tin Game £5.75 @ Amazon

by Lynley Oram in Deals on 27 May, 2013 at 11:00 am

Moshi Rox Tin Game £5.75 @ AmazonMy son was given this as one of his Christmas presents and he absolutely loved it. The Moshi Rox Tin Game is sold by Fun Collectables and fulfilled by Amazon. The price has been reduced from £11.16 to £5.75, and standard delivery in the UK is absolutely free.

You get a surprisingly large tin, and the Moshi's inside are all semi transparent. This was a big plus for my son. The tin was the big plus for me as we keep all his Moshi monsters in there now. You get eight Moshi's in the box.

In the Moshi Monsters world, they say rox talks. In the form of crystals, gems and rocks, rox is Moshi money and it's used to buy a whole host of goodies. These limited edition Moshlings are totally "rox-ified", making them even more appealing that their currency counterpart. Each tin contains the same eight exclusive, limited edition Rox Moshi Monsters. The Moshi Monsters Rox Collector Tin is suitable for ages 4 years and up.

This customer review is one I definitely agree with. "This is a pretty good value set I think. It has eight in the box and they are well presented. The tin is sturdy enough, nicely decorated and the (unhinged) lid goes on easily, even for a 7 year old."

Activequipment Pop-up Skills Football Goal £9.75 @ Tesco Direct

Activequipment Pop-up Skills Football Goal £9.75 @ Tesco DirectThere's a slight glimmer of sun? Get the kids outside to soak up what vitamin D they can get. Outdoor toys like this Activequipment Pop-up Skills Football Goal could be just the trick. Tesco has reduced the goal from £19.50 to £9.75. That's a saving of 50% (although I am guessing you were able to do the maths on that one!).

This Activequipment pop-up football goal is great for practising your shooting skills. Easy to set-up, the goal pop-ups instantly and is lightweight, easy to carry and store.

The goal is dual sided and can be used either as a regular goal or pushed over and used with the target cover. The Activequipment pop-up skills goal comes complete with storage and carry bag as well as pegs to keep it upright and sturdy.

This is typical of the customer reviews: "Even though the netting is compact it is good quality and my 4yr old can up it up himself. He has not destroyed it yet either!  The goal challenge bit is his favourite and has inspired most adults to have a go too (even a friend shortly after a hip replacement). I bought it for my son to improve his aim and he enjoys the challenge to get the ball through the goal".
