Dragons...must mean new Yu-Gi-Oh!

Yeah well, Dragons and Yu-Gi-Oh go together like Bacon & Egg, Barbie & Pink, Posh & Becks (yeah OK :P...). New items in stock this week included Yu-Gi-Oh Light & Darkness Power packs, which include; 1 “Light and Darkness Dragon” Ultra Rare card, 2 Dark Revelation vol. 4 packs (12 cards per pack & only available with this power pack), and a 32 page sample Manga telling the story of Light and Darkness Dragon! Quote - 'The legendary “Light and Darkness Dragon”, used by Japanese players to win a spot in the World Championship.'

Other super arrivals this week have been; a handful (literally!) of Gogo's Crazy Bones Storage Boxes, Single Tech Deck mini Skateboards, and more stock of Pokemon Spring 2008 tins and 4 pocket folders. The kids are back to school next week, we can hear those sighs of relief from parents across the country...

Half Term's turning Ugly......

Half term...(say no more)... The 2008 Uglydolls are starting to filter through, not all available yet though, we've currently got Poe in 'Regular size' and 'Clip On', Babo's Bird & Plunko in 7" size. Though we like these, one of favourites has got to be the release of an old friend - Babo, in little (7") 'purple' disguise.

Together with these, we've got some Dr Who 2008 Stickers and Sticker Albums; Gazillion Babbling Bubblers (these look super cool!); Hair-ee Hair Ballz; and some Mickey & Minnie Mouse Light Up Pens!!!

Gogo's Crazy Bones popularity seem never ending, in fact the 'Albums' have sold out, and at the time of writing seem a couple of weeks away from being available :(.... But we've noticed one supplier has just got hold of some Crazy Bones 'Storage Boxes'....Mmmmm, we'll see.

All hail the Majestic Dawn...

What was that? Sounds like Guns, Thunder......... Oh no, it's the new Pokemon Diamond & Pearl expansion, Majestic Dawn hits the shelves any day, it's the fifth expansion in the series featuring exciting Pokemon like 'Leafeon', 'Glaceon', and 'Garchomp' LV.X, and more brand new Diamond & Pearl Pokemon like the mysterious Water Pokemon 'Phione'. Plus more new game play combos, the Diamond and Pearl Series just keeps getting more exciting! Available in Theme Decks and single boosters, they look like a sure-fire hit for the unstoppable Pokemon fans everywhere.

Spidey Sense is tingling......

We've got our hands on a few Marvel Heroes Lamincards, we've been looking at these for a while, and they look pretty cool, you can check them out at ToyToyjac HERE (we've got a cool introductory offer which includes 10 packets of Lamincards and an A4 - 4 page Folder for £10.00), there's also a link to the official site for you to check out the game rules.

Some other items have caught our eye to fill in the order for the 'Beanies' next week, including 'Gazillion Babbling Bubblers' (we've been waiting ages for these), 'Hair-ee Hair Ballz', and maybe some Disney light-up pens in Mickey Mouse and Tinkerbell flavours, the new Pokemon boosters and decks - 'Majestic Dawn' should be out too. The weather has taken a slight turn for the worse here in the UK, still the 'cold & rain' doesn't seemed to have dampened our little ones endless Diablo (Diabolo for you purists) practising (he's getting rather good too).

The World's a small place...

We've been in process of setting up WorldPay as our primary card processor for over two weeks now, and we still seem no nearer to our account going 'live', we can understand the bank holiday weekend delaying the formalities, but it's been stuck on 'we are in the process of setting up your account - 3 working days' for over a week, and getting an answer to any questions is like asking Elvis and Jim Morrison to perform again (i.e. hopeless)..... we are assured WorldPay offer state of the art systems in security for both customer and merchants, but please Royal Bank of Scotland (who own WorldPay) get your finger out, anybody would think we were asking to borrow money!!!!! We apologise for any confusion to the customers who have attempted to pay through WorldPay while it is in 'test mode' (we have it so while the systems are tested and implemented!!)....

On another note, Marvel Lamincards should be making an appearance this week, along with the items which are due in tomorrow (Mandy Mix Up, Tekma, et al)... And the sun is still shining, reasons to be cheerful 1,2,3........

There she goes, there she goes again.....

Well it looks like Mandy Mix Up dolls are finally here (after being delayed from January!), these stateside girls like to live it up big time, but in a wholesome way (certainly compared to their 'trashy' cousins the Bratz kids). Six dolls to collect, each with interchangeable legs, bodies, accessories etc. It looks like they're going to make a big splash this side of the Atlantic. We've got some due in next week, so we'll see what the fuss is about then... :-)

Also due in are more Happy Puppy Trading Cards (currently out of stock), even more Crazy Bones (big seller at the moment), and some Tekma Ball Battlers (these look a cool pocket money item). The sun is out..... enjoy while you can, now where did we put those water bombs?...... Oh, nearly forgot, you can meet all the 'mix up' girls HERE.

X marks the spot..........

Arghhhh me hearties..... not only 'Pirate Flags', but now 'Gold Treasure Chests' from those wonderful puzzle makers Bedlam. The Bedlam Treasure Chests work on the same principle as their famous cubes, only this time there are only 9 pieces and only 37 solutions! They may be easy and fun to play but they're certainly difficult to solve. In stock too now are the latest Yu-Gi-Oh boosters 'Light of Destruction', 'Glow in the Dark Star' packs, & 'Diablo's'. Exclusive items for the shop include 'Transformer film cells', 'LOTR ROTK Film Cell', and other items not available online.

May Already....!!!

We can't believe it's May already, where does the time go?....... Fingers crossed that we get a nice spell of weather soon :)..... Hopefully, next week we'll be getting some Diablos in stock, these juggling delights are really cool, our youngest son (who is very hard to impress!) has being playing with the one we got him at every opportunity for the past two weeks come rain or shine, at around £4.95 we guarantee they will give the kids (and grown-ups) hours of fun..

We are in the middle of implementing a new primary payment processor on the website, from next week WorldPay (Royal Bank of Scotland) will be our main card processor, although we will be still accepting payments through Paypal and of course PayOffline. We mention this because our ecommerce site is hosted and maintained by a company called 'Internet Retailer.biz' , and we must say their help and advice has been invaluable, their patience is unending, and their customer service second to none, in this day and age of 'fly by night' companies they truly show a commitment and dedication to their clients that seems sadly lacking elsewhere, so thank you David and team for all your help and guidance.

It looks like there are some cool goodies to look forward to in the Gacha department this summer, coming in June are 'Mario Pen & Screen Cleaner' Gacha & 'Pokemon Dungeon 2', later in August 'Spongebob' Gacha and 'Disney princess', can't wait.......
