Not Long Now!
With only a few weeks left until the big day, we were wondering what toy it at the top of your little ones list?
Is it the first fully auto disc shooter, Nerf Vortex Disc Blaster? Limitless learning with the new LeapPad Explorer? or are they big on Moshli Monsters and after the Moshi Tree house?
Or maybe they are after something a little more classic like a good old game of Manopoly or the classic Rubiks Cube?
Why not comment below and let us know what you'll be putting under the tree this year?

Lord Sugar & Papa Smurf !
Over on our Facebook Page we were discussing how similar Alan Sugar and Papa Smurf are!
Which then got me to thinking, everyone makes the connection between Rooney and Shrek and wondered if there are any other Celebrities that look like cartoon characters or toys.
Comment below and let us know if you can think of any more!

Football's go to Lancashire!
The Lancashire Police have just bought another batch of sponge balls from us today, so the kids of Lancashire are about to get some new footballs, they must get through quite a few as they are one of our biggest customers for these balls.
They issue them out to kids in the community to stop them playing with hard, heavy leather that damage cars and peoples property. These sponge balls are heavy enough that they do not blow away in the wind and you can kick them straight but soft enough that they would not go through a window, dent a car or hurt a passer by if they were to get hit by them.
We also sell allot of these to schools throughout the UK, again because they are safe to kick around people and windows they find them ideal to use for their sports activities, and a lot of the time they will only allow their pupils to bring this type of ball in to play with at lunch time.
To see our full range of sponge footballs please use the link below:

Blast from the past!
I've just had some new Galt items put on my desk to put up on the website. One of these items is a "Super Marble Run"
I remember having this as a child, you build up the plastic tubes towers and connect them together with various runs, tubes and obstacles then drop the marble in the top and watch it cascade through your creation.
This got me thinking about all the old toys I used to play with that you don't see very often like Stickle Bricks and He Man action figures. There must be loads of toys like this and would like to hear what your favorite old toys were from your childhood?

Hexbugs now in stock!
That's right, everyone has been going mad for these little critters and now we have them at fantastic prices. Both in our stores and online at www.ToysnFun.co.uk
Hexbugs are small robotic creatures that behave like bugs and work on various sensors to give different behaviors. So the Hexbug Ant will scurry along the floor until it's tentacles come into contact with an obstacle in it's way and then it will change direction, just like putting your hand in front of a real ant.
The Hexbug Crab on the other hand will seek out a dark place to hide and stay there until either the hiding place is moved to let light in or a loud noise will scare the crab out of hiding to find somewhere else.
Checkout some of our bugs bellow:
Hexbug Originals - Only £8.99
HEXBUG feels its way around sensing objects in its path and avoiding them. And it can even hear! You can control where it scurries through a hand clap, loud noise or table slap.

HEXBUG comes in five distinct shapes and colors.
Hexbug Ant - Only £8.99
The high speed robotic creature that reacts to touch. The Ant will race forwards until it encounters and obsticle and then races backwards.
Hexbug Inchworm - Only £15.99
Hexbug Inchworm is the robotic creature that you control. The first full range control robotic creature in the Hexbug lineup. Dual band control means that two seperate Inchworms can be controlled at the same time.
Hexbug Crab - Only £12.99
The robotic creature that reacts to light and sount. Crab will hide in shaded areas until a loud sound or exposure to light chases it out into the open.
Hexbug Nano - Only £5.99
Hexbug Nano, the robotic creature that behaves like a real bug. The Nano is the newest automonous robotic creature in the HEXBUG lineup. Your HEXBUG Nano will flip itself over back onto it's legs all by its self. Your Nano will also come with an online code so you can go onto the internet and continue the fun there.
