A bit late for Christmas but this is still cool, the pinball money puzzle, who says giving money is boring.
Pinball Money Puzzle challenges them to get their gift! Put some retro pinball wizardry into your money or gift card giving this holiday. Players must succeed in getting all 3 metal pinballs into a specific hole to unlock the gift drawer and retrieve their money!
As if racing is not enough, this pair of Boxing Grannies are willing to go all out to punch each other’s dentures (they have no more teeth, remember?) out of their mouths!
All that lifting of tea cups and hefty biscuits has given them some great upper body strength, and the time has come for them to find out who’s the top Granny. With an upper cut to strike terror into the hearts of any heavyweight (or paperweight at the very least), these Boxing Grannies will slog it out for victory. You control each Granny by pressing buttons on the base to power each arm, and if your Edna or Doris is hit in the right place, she will rock back on her feet, and your opponent scores a point. It’s a tough game, and these Grannies are not only up for the challenge, but can’t wait to get at each other. This may well be the beginning of something big…
I’m not too sure if a comically violent toy such as this will have negative repercussions on grandkids years down the road, but if you want to take the chance, the Boxing Grannies retail for £14.99 a pair.
This next product is cool in so many ways. All I can say is: welcome back, virtual pet! Not only that, the Tamigotchi has a serious upgrade as you have not one pet, but a virtual family.
Not only that, but you don’t just feed the virtual pet family by pushing a button. This is a family that you provide for with real money.
Oh man, I really need to slow down, as I am way too excited about this Life Bank. That is, this is what this product’s name (Jinsei Ginko) translates into. The Jinsei Ginko is an advanced piggy bank that has a display with a monochromatic screen. On the screen, a virtual person.
As you add money to the bank, the person goes into marriage, and then a life of luxury. That is, if you give enough money to it. And I have no idea how much money you have to give in order for the virtual family to live like the Hiltons, sans Paris.
Christmas has finally passed. While I enjoy this time of year, people tend to go crazy with their last-minute shopping. The streets are crowded and people tend to get rude in the stores. It’s these things that make me happy when the day is over. That’s not to say that I don’t love the time I spend with my family and the giving (and receiving!) of gifts. Since I’m still a child at heart, I tend to enjoy gifts that are intended for kids. It’s not uncommon to see things like LEGOs and R/C cars on my wish list. If I could go back in time, I’d probably add this car to my list.
Okay, I’m probably overdoing the whole “I’m reporting on products from Wildplanet” thing, but I like this product almost as much as I liked the whole Spy Video Car.
This Hyper Dash game is one of the coolest simply because it is so limitless as far as its gameplay. You see that long joystick-like object up there? You have to take that, and slam it onto the numbered discs up there.
Yes, it really is that simple. The thing is battery operated, so it shouts out what disks to slam, and you slam them. Settings can make it so a player can slam it down by number, or by color.
I’ve got to like these new Spy Gear toys from the Wildplanet company. One of my favorites, and I am told, a lot of people’s favorites is the Spy Video Car.
Unfortunately, a Spy Video car isn’t one of those cool cars with lots of built-in gadgets like you would see in a spy video, but it is just as cool.
Simply put, this toy is a dream come true. It is a remote control car with a camera attached on the front. Unfortunately, the camera is a monochromatic job, but it does shoot in infrared.
The Spy Video Car comes in two parts, first the car itself, which has good controls and runs easily across carpet. I never tested it on rocky terrain, but I imagine in might do pretty well.
Well, all Wii owners out there are probably still enjoying their WiiSports, the “Combat” of the Nintendo Wii. (I’m sure a lot of you aren’t getting the “Combat” reference. Just think back to the Atari 2600.) And I’m certain that some of you have felt good just in knowing that you’re getting your exercise playing Wii Baseball, Bowling, Golf, Tennis, or even Boxing.
Well, I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but there is UK Study that shows that a round of Wii Sports, even the best one, is no substitute for proper exercise. In fact, it recorded on a negligible difference between playing Wii Sports vs. playing a regular controller game.
I thought I would take the time to recommend a product for the Lego lover on your list. I realize that the Lego Millennium Falcon is at the top of any Lego lover’s list, but it might be out of your price range, as well as hard to find.
Therefore, I highly recommend the Lego Ferris Wheel. Some of you might wonder how Lego could make a Ferris Wheel, given the rather cubical bring nature of Legos. Well, you obviously haven’t seen Legos in the last ten years, as now they have curves.
The Ferris Wheel has some interesting set up so that you get a wheel that is kind of a complex octagon, but holds together really solid. What I really admired was the stand to put the Ferris wheel in, and I felt I could stand on it, and it could hold my weight.
