Lego DC Superheroes Superman Vs Power Armor Lex

 The brand new 2012 Lego DC Superheroes Superman Vs Power Armor Lex or Lego 6862 has been one set I haven’t been able to hide my excitment about getting, Superman is my favourite superhero of all time and this Lego set is really cool!

Just like the full range of Lego DC Superheroes sets the packaging on this is fantastic and it really does have a comic book feel about it. Inside the box you get a comic book which is a really cool addition, I have to admit that I really love these things and the fact that it gives you a guide to all the Lego DC superheroes character minifigures that you will be able to collect over the range.

The Lego Superman Vs Power Armour Lex is broken down into 3 bags and you get 3 fantastic Lego minifigures included: Superman, Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor. Let me start by saying that these Lego minifigures are really cool and the detail is fantastic.  Starting off with Wonder Woman you get a cool double sided face, the actual hair mold is really cool and comes with her iconic headband, Wonder Woman also comes with a golden lasso.  Next we come to Lex Luthor, there is nothing really special about him although I do like his suit torso. Finally we have Superman himself, Lego have done a fantastic job on this Superman figure and the hair mold is amazing, the printing on his chest with the six pack and superman logo looks fantastic and I love the cape design…I would buy this Lego 6862 set just for this minifigure alone!

The actual build of this set is Lex Luthors power armor and I have to say that it is a really cool design, the set is easy to put together and looks great, I love the cockpit design and also the amount of articulation that you can get from this is incredible, you can get some great poses.

I have to say that Lego have done a fantastic job with this set and it’s one of the most fun to play with and looks great, the addition of the cool minifigures will make this set rocket in value over the coming years so buy 2 and you have a great investment.

Barbie Walking Together Barbie and Tawny

Here we are with another new Barbie set for Christmas 2011, this time we have the Barbie Walking Together Barbie and Tawny set.

You have probably seen this Barbie toy advertised on television, if you haven’t take a look at the advert below:

 

So what is the Walking Together Barbie and Tawny and is it any good?

Well as all Barbie fans know, Tawny is Barbie’s pet horse and with this set Tawny can really walk and make realistic horse sounds.

There are some really great features with this toy, such as if you place Barbie next to Tawny, she actually walks along side the horse, so you can put other dolls like Barbie’s sisters on Tawny’s back.

So What you you get in the box?

Inside the Barbie and Tawny set you get:

  • Tawny the horse with Double Saddle
  • A Barbie Doll
  • 2 Riding Hats
  • basket accessory & brush

The barbie walking together barbie and tawny set is a great toy that Barbie fans are going to love.  Tawny does require x4 AAA batteries that are not supplied.  Something else we noticed was that the walking action didn’t work well on carpets, so a solid surface is recommended for the best effect.

Air Hogs Sharpshooter – Cheapest prices

October 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Air Hogs Sharpshooter

Every year we get excited to see what new Air Hogs toy is going to be released, this year Air Hogs have 2 major new lines…the Air Hogs Hyper Actives Stunt and the Air Hogs Sharp Shooter which is what we are going to take a look at.

This is unlike anything you have seen, the Air Hogs Sharp Shooter is not just a really cool remote control helicopter, but it is also missile firing remote control helicopter!

So let’s take a closer look at Air Hogs latest toy!

The Air Hogs Sharpshooter is a 2 channel remote control helicopter that comes with 6 red firing missiles, you get a 2 channel remote control that also acts as the battery charger.

The Sharp Shooter can be loaded with 2 missiles at anyone time, the set up of this toy is very easy and children will find it really easy to control.  The Helicopter isn’t that fast which does make it easy for younger children to control.  The actual helicopter itself looks really cool, infact it does remind me of Air Wolf the classic eighties TV series which many parents will remember.

This is a very stable helicopter that kids will love flying and that’s even before we get to the missile firing part which really does stand this toy out from the crowd, I cannot tell you how much fun we have had playing with this toy.

The only slight word of warning is that it is very easy to lose your missiles, so make sure you keep your eyes open as to where you are shooting.  On average you get around 10 minutes flight time before needing to recharge your batteries, the recharge takes around 20-30 minutes.

To conclude…this RC helicopter is a lot of fun to fly and play with, kids are going to love the missiles, it’s easy to use and our 4 year old seemed to be able to control this without many problems.  This really will make a great Christmas present no matter how old you are!

Disney Princess Ultimate Dream Castle – Cheapest Prices

October 7, 2011 By 2 Comments

Disney Princess Ultimate Dream Castle

When we saw the Disney Princess Ultimate Dream Castle for the first time back at toy fair our mouths dropped to the floor and all we could say was….WOW!

The Disney Princess Ultimate Dream Castle is BIG, in fact this is the biggest castle that the Disney team have ever made and it’s the one toy that ever young princess is going to want this Christmas, all you need to do is make sure you have the room!

Set over 3 floors each room of this Disney Castle is themed to a different Disney character princess which includes Tiana, Belle, Jasmine, Ariel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella.  So starting at the bottom of the Castle, the door bell actually rings and the front doors of the castle can open. 

Turning the Ultimate Castle around we first come to the kitchen area which is Tiana’s kitchen, where she can pretend to cook up a pot of gumbo just like she does in ‘The Princess and the Frog’.  Moving on we have Belle’s dining room from the magical ‘Beauty and the Beast’, with magically moving character friends, just like in the ‘Be Our Guest’ scene from the movie.  You also get some great features such as the Mrs Pots and Chip characters, as well as a table which features Lumiere, there is also a wheel button on the table that allows you to spin the characters around which is a fantastic feature!

Moving up at the side of the castle we have Jasmine’s elevator which is from Aladin and is really a magic carpet for whisking her to all the different floors! Then on the second level we have Ariel’s undersea bathroom which comes complete with real bubble sounds and a seashell tub, then in the middle of the ultimate castle we come to Snow White’s vanity, this section or room comes complete with a magic mirror, that when turned shows Snow White her beloved Prince Charming on the other side.  Finally on this level we have Sleeping Beauty’s bedroom, where fairy godmothers fly above the bed and she can use the armoire to store her ball gowns.

Then on the otherside of this amazing Disney Ultimate Castle we have of course Cinderella’s staircase, where Cinderella can glide down the stairs before midnight-but look close and you’ll see she’s left her glass slipper behind.

On the top level of the Disney Dream Castle there is a spinning musical dance floor, but just make sure Cinderella leaves before midnight!

This really is a fantastic toy that fans of Disney are going to love and go crazy for, there is so many features and so much to do to keep children entertained.  The Disney Dream Castle is very solid and well built and the whole playset really does feel magical. 

My only note to parents is that the princess dolls are not included in this set, so they will have to be bought separatley and the Disney Castle does require x2 AA batteries which are not included.

Where to buy the Disney Princess Ultimate Dream Castle

The Disney Dream Castle is available from a number of online retailers like argos, amazon.co.uk, play.com, John Lewis, Woolworths, Toys R Us and many more. To find out more about the new 2011 Disney Princess Ultimate Dream Castle including where you can compare UK prices to get the cheapest online deals make sure you click on the images where you will be taken to the price comparison table:

Disney Tangled Sing and Glow Rapunzel Doll – Cheapest Prices

September 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Disney Tangled Sing and Glow Rapunzel Doll

The latest Disney animated feature Tangled has been a massive success at the cinema and the Disney Tangled toys have proved to be a real hit with young girls and parents, the latest Disney Tangled toy to be released in time for Christmas is the Disney Tangled Sing and Glow Rapunzel doll and we really love it!

This is a fantastic doll and the dress looks amazing, such detail and of course this is no ordinary doll, as you will already know this is a singing and glowing doll.

Just wait until you push the button on Rapunzel as a light comes on at the back making her very long bright yellow hair glow just like in the animated movie and she sings the “I See the Light” from the movie which is the most iconic song .

The doll itself is very much in the same mould as Barbie and the facial features are spot-on to the Rapunzel Character.  With the Rapunzel doll you also get a magic wand that when waved brings Rapunzel to life with the song and glow and another fantastic feature is that Rapunzels stunning dress also twinkles.

The sound chip last for just under a minute and the quality is very clear and loud, which is sometimes a problem with dolls of this nature.

The Sing and Glow Rapunzel Doll does require batteries to work and these are supplied with the doll, but our advise would be to buy a fresh range of x3 AAA batteries.

Young Disney Tangled fans are going to love this fantastic toy and if your thinking about buying the Tangled Sing and Glow Rapunzel and want to find stockists and also the cheapest UK prices make sure you click on the banner above or below where you will be taken to the Top Xmas Toys Price comparison page.

Lego Technic Supercar – Cheapest Prices

September 11, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Lego Technic Supercar

The big Lego Technic set for Christmas 2011 is going to be the Lego Technic Supercar and trust me when I say that this is one cool Technic set that will get fans going crazy!

So let’s take a closer look at the Lego 8070 set!

To start with you will see that the Lego Technic Super Car has 4 power functions, these include the doors that raise (just like the BTTF car!), the back tail gate raises and the hood goes up and also the functions on the engine with the pistons moving in and out.

Straight off I have to say that this was not the easiest build and you really need patience and time to build this model supercar.  This really is a big car and is quite heavy, there are some nice details like the side body plates which makes it look like more of a car.

At the very back of the car is the power function and by puching the switch you will see all the power function abilities.  The first of the power functions is the front doors that can open and close, each door opens individually.  The next power function is the spoiler that rises and moves onto the back of the car.  The last power function is the lifting of the hood or bonnet, again this works really well and adds to the overall feel of the set.

The detail on the Lego Technic Supercar is fantastic from the big sturdy wheels to the sports seats.  I love the whole look of this car and in my opinion Lego have done a fantastic job, the angles of the car and the body work are fantastic, just take a look at the engine, with the pistons moving in and out as you move the car along, the engine by the way was one of the harder sections of the build, but well worth it.

Conclusion

This really is a must-buy for Lego Technic fans who are going to love the whole build of this car.  The construction is first-class and it will really test your building skills, so newer Lego Technic buyers make sure you just take your time or wise this set could become a real nightmare if your not careful.

Overall I loved everything about this supercar from the design to the build, this really is a fantastic set.
