Transformers Toys at the Entertainer

Written by Darren 'Starscream' Jamieson on | News |

The high street retailer the Entertainer has a website called TheToyShop.com, which I’m sure causes some branding issues for them. Who’d have known it was the same company? Anyhow, they’ve  a decent supply of Transformers toys online, including a very cheap price for the Ultimate Edition Bumblebee (even though he’s out of stock as I write this).

Have a look at their Transformers toys and see for yourself how their prices compare against other UK retailers.

Transformers Halloween Costume

Written by Darren 'Starscream' Jamieson on October 25, 2007 | News |

It’s Halloween next week, time to get your car in the garage to avoid a good egging and to make sure you’ve plenty of tooth rotting sweets on hand to give out to darling little children dressed up as vampires, werewolves and monsters… otherwise they’ll throw mud at your windows.

If however you have darling little children of your own, and the usual blood soaked Halloween costume isn’t something you can stomach, why not go for a little Optimus Prime action?

With an Optimus Prime costume this Halloween your offspring will be the envy of the dark streets, though sadly it doesn’t come with a trailer so you can fill it up with sweets. You could always build your own I guess.

You can see the full range of Optimus Prime costumes available to UK customers in our shop.

Beatmix Bumblebee iPod Speakers

Written by Darren 'Starscream' Jamieson on October 23, 2007 | Transformers movie (2007) |

This has to be one of the oddest things I’ve ever come across. The Optimus Prime iPod speakers were cool, we all wanted that. The Soundwave MP3 player was not before time and the Rumble/Frenzy earphones were more than necessary… but this?

Bumblebee… that plugs into your iPod or MP3 player, acts as speakers and dances while flashing lights?

I’m not convinced, but needless to say I’ll give the little fella a chance. I am after all, well into my tat.

You can get Beatmix Bumblebee in our shop here.
