Remote Control Daleks are invading our warehouse again!

Following their sell-out last year, we are now pleased to have new stocks

available of the hugely popular Radio Control Daleks.

Each Dalek has full function radio control movement (left, right, forward

and reverse), a powered rotating head with flashing lights, and also several

authentic Dalek voice commands! Available in Silver, Black or Grey, the Daleks are on two

different frequencies so you can run two at once.

These are detailed, fully licensed replicas - no skimping on size either as they stand 12"

(30cm) tall!

If you're looking for a unique and inexpensive gift or a weird and fun

conversation piece for your desk at work, then check out The Eggling - a real

plant that you can hatch from an egg! The precious little Eggling looks and feels

like an extra large egg, but crack its top and discover a garden ready for sowing !

Extremely popular in Japan, where it originated, the Eggling is made of white

porous ceramic and comes with a terracotta tray and seed pack of either herbs or

flowers. Four types of herbs (basil, italian parsley, mint, thyme) and flowers (chrysanthemum,

lobelia, phlox, petunia) are available - or even use your own seeds . Cultivation is easy - all the

plants grow for up to five months in the Eggling's fortified peat mixture, after which the

Eggling can be planted directly in soil. Egglings are packaged individually in a gift box, and

supplied as a pair comprising one herb and one flower. Each egg is approximately 5cm high

and 4cm diameter

Gupi is a high-tech, electronic guinea pig that looks, feels and acts like

the real thing. Gupi provides a combination of interactive fun and the

emotions of a real pet! Gupi is not just for kids though - it was recently

recommended as an ideal gift of Dads on the Richard & Judy TV show!

Gupi has a mind of its own and is so smart it can walk around the house without bumping into

anything or falling down stairs. If you put Gupi in a maze, you can be assured that it will find

its way out.

Gupi is also very playful and will react to noises, light and touch. When held and pet he

becomes more friendly and when ignored gets more skittish and will run to darker areas of

the run when startled .

If you pet Gupi, it will feel loved and will be happy, but if you don't play with Gupi, it

becomes lonely and retreats to a dark place. Gupi will react differently depending on its

mood.

When Gupi gets hungry you can feed him (recharge his batteries) through a little carrot, and

then he's ready for a lot more fun.

These Powerballs use the gyroscope principle of a rotating inner ball inside a

solid outer ball to create forces in all directions to exercise your wrist muscles.

Move your hand further away from your body, and the Powerball's forces work

on the whole length of your arm. To use, just wind the short "starter cord"

around the centre ball, and then pull. Once you have started it spinning , the idea is to move

your wrist to increase the speed of the centre ball, which if done correctly increases the

gyroscope effect.

It does take some practice to get going - the first few times we tried, the ball just stood still

after about 30 seconds - but eventually you get the hang of the "rocking" motion required to

get the thing moving. After a little practice, its possible to bring your new Powerball up to

15,000rpm at which point it's exerting almost 40lbs of pressure on your limbs and is traveling

at nearly 250 revolutions per second - no batteries, no motor, just pure gyroscopic power - the

fastest human propelled device ever created! From: gadgets.co.uk
