.Joby Gorillapod - SLR
City Travel Guides > Toys > Toys
from: Joby

September 25, 2007
I was bought one of these as a present and it is great at gripping on to various objects and can function as a mini tripod reasonably well. However, the ball joints near the plate is not robust enough to take a heavy SLR body. It probably works fine with a lighter entry level camera with a light digital zoom, but if you have any sort of serious kit then it is incapable of remaining stable. I also have a quibble with the locking pin and camera plate which requires a 10p coin to attach and detach from the camera. It is a simple engineering fix to add some sort of recessed tag and I can't understand why it hasn't been done yet.

.Star Wars Clone Wars Ultimate Lightsaber
City Travel Guides > Toys > Toys
from: Hasbro


Being a Star Wars fanatic and at that age where grown men become boys again, I find myself reviewing the Clone Wars ultimate lightsaber construction kit. Without babbling on about how wonderful Star Wars is and its universe that George Lucas created, I'll get straight to the point. There are 18 pieces to this kit, including 3 coloured crystals that give a lightsaber blade its colour. In this case it's down to clever electronics and the crystals you instal inside the hilt (the main handle) are just part of its charm in the world of 'pretend'. The idea is simply to build your own lightsaber to your liking or build one to replicate a favourite Jedi, or member of the Sith. You can build Mace Windu, Yoda and Count Dooku sabers by following the illustration ... Read More:

.Silverlit PicooZ Helicopter Sky Challenger Set (2 Pack)
City Travel Guides > Toys > Toys
from: Silverlit

September 25, 2007
A great idea, and it was huge fun for about 2 weeks. BUT then the tail rotor needed replacing and in the removal and refitiing procedure suddenly it didn't rotate at all. So one helicopter down... The next one lasted about a month longer. I don't think that's value for money. Toys like scaletrix and lego still work after 20 years!

THESE TOYS ARE FROM GOLDEN BEAR - THEY'RE GOOD, IF YOU HAVE A CHARLIE AND LOLA FAN, WHICH I DO! THEY ONLY SAY ONE PHRASE EACH - CHARLIE SAYS "I HAVE THIS LITTLE SISTER LOLA SHE IS SMALL AND VERY FUNNY", LOLA SAYS "IM NOT SMALL IM BIG"....AND THTAS IT ...I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED THEM TO SAY MORE PHRASES FOR THE PRICE. THE BATTERIES ARE IRREPLACEABLE (LAST 6 MONTHS) AND THEIR CLOTHES ARE FIXED, THE SOUND DEVICE IS ALSO TOO HARD TO PRESS FOR A 3 YEAR OLD. OKAY BUT COULD HAVE DONE BETTER

.LEGO Indiana Jones 7624: Jungle Duel
City Travel Guides > Toys > Toys
from: LEGO


I must admit when I first saw this range in the shop I thought 'another Lego franchise money spinner'. In recent years Lego has become more or less a movie franchise vehicle and it's not easy to find plain ordinary Lego these days. However, my son was really keen on it and was bought a larger kit for his birthday - which he played with so much I had no objections to him using his own money to buy this smaller kit too.

The 'Jungle Duel' kit is great value for money, it is one of the cheapest sets you can get but has 3 figures (Indy, Spalko and Mutt - complete with expressions), a tent, a table which splits during fights, a collection of swords, and lots of other tiny additions (including strangely, a banana). It's the quality you'd expect ... Read More:

.LEGO Star Wars 7667: Imperial Dropship
City Travel Guides > Toys > Toys
from: LEGO


Lego kick off their 2008 Star Wars series with a set from the Expanded Universe range with kit #7667: Imperial Dropship.
After the success of last years Clone Trooper and Battle Droid battle packs it's nice to see Lego continuing with more troop building box sets.
The Imperial Dropship is a small planet skimming craft with a cockpit for a pilot, wing mounted cannons and a deployable troop platform to the rear. The cockpit hinges open and closed and the rear tail and thruster assembly pivots up to allow the troop platform to detach.
You get one Shadow Trooper pilot (previously only available in 2007's TIE Crawler) and 3 Stormtroopers. Two blaster rifles and 2 heavy assault rifles finish the set.
The kit is composed of 60 pieces, ... Read More:

.Super Stomp Rocket Kit
City Travel Guides > Toys > Toys
from: TKC Sales


This was bought for my son last year for his 4th birthday, and it has been played with to almost distruction. i would recomend you take this to the park as it needs wide open spaces. whenever we take it to the park it always draws other children, all wanting to see how high they can stomp the rocket,my 9yr old now challenges himself to try and catch them. would recommend this if you want tied children at the end of the day, a must for the long summer holidays.
