Star Wars Storm Trooper USB Drive

Aren't you a little short to be a USB Memory Stick

Aren't you a little short to be a USB Memory Stick

Another fantastic Star Wars USB Memory stick, like the R2D2 one featured before.
Not only is it an official Star Wars, StormTrooper USB memory stick, it is also a USB flash drive disguised as Han Solo, disguised as a Stormtrooper
Yes it is an ideal gift for Fathers Day
Yes it is a Toy
Yes it is a useful piece of office stationary


Yes you will look like a Geek in the office (and be worshiped in secret)
Yes I really want one of these and am hinting to the kids again.

    Nintendo DSi XL

    nintendo dsixl

    Nintendo DSi XL features Two 4.2 inch screens, Longer stylus, 2 digital cameras. Built in SD card / music player, web browser.

    It's a nintendo DSi, but the XL makes it BIGGER.

    The bods at nintendo looked at the market they were selling their consoles to, and while there competition were making smaller and smaller pocket gaming devices the nintendonians took a step back and see that the big market was not the teenagers (who only have their pocket money) but the older bods out there. The professionals, the mums and dads, grans and grandads (for who the nintendo dsi xl makes a great present).

    Not to bothered about putting the console in their pocket and playing in a variety of places, the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSI was used as a home entertainment system. The worst thing about Nintendos portable games console is the fact it is small. So why not ditch the worry about making it portable, and concentrate on making it a better gaming experience.

    Key festures of the DSI XL are:

    • Two 4.2 inch screens - 93% bigger than the DS Lite.
    • Includes A Little Bit of Brain Training and 5 in 1 Dictionary pre-installed.
    • Longer stylus and new touch pen.
    • 2 digital cameras.
    • Built in SD card slot - use your DSi XL and a music player.
    • Built in web browser.

    The Nintendo DSi XL is an excelent present for Mothers Day, Fathers Day or any occasion.

      Lego's Take on the Classic Board Game - Ramses Pyramid pictured

      Pure toy heaven, the best thing since I heard the magic words Lego and Sta Wars combined.

      Lego has reinvented the board game, thanks to a resession and the need for a cost effective entry from the lego stable this Christmas the Lego brains have brought a number of Lego Board Games into the mix. Modular, expandable and fun.

      For the collectors there has been the Lego Chess Set entry for a few years now, but into the mainstream come the following:

      Minotaurus
      Ramses Pyramid
      Creationary
      NOTE some retailers have posted out of stock for these lego games, if you still want to get hold of these for Christmas 2009 try the Official Lego Shop here

        Silverlit: Picoo Z Atom

        Small and flys, well

        Small and flys, well

        Aimed squarely at the indoor helicopter market the PicooZ Atom is light-weight and small, so it is ideal for purpose. Control is easy, for a helicopter. But make sure you don't take it outside.

        Apparently the PicooZ Atom is The Worlds Smallest Radio Controlled Helicopter as recognised by the Guiness Book of Records. With built-in Li-poly batteries for extended flying time and 3 channel super wide infrared control, coupled with it's special propeller system make for precision speed control and excellent flying stability.

        From a solid stable of indoor flying remote control toys the Silverlit PicooZ Atom is a great addition to the airfleet of any kid, no matter how old they are!
