It's not often that a toy lives up the hype of its box. We bought this thing this morning in JJB. It was reduced from 11.99 to £9, then to £7, then to £6 then finally to £4. The obvious desperation to offload their surplus stock and the superlatives in the packaging hooked me in as intended and as we drove back I thought 'D'oh! I've got something else that will give us 2 minutes of disappontment that will clutter my boot til I sell the car.' But... it's brilliant. You chuck it like a frisbee then catch it by its string and spin it about and ...err...stuff. Clearly I'm lacking in the same kind of superlatives and I've already put the packaging in the recycling box so I can't copy them. I do remember they used lots of exclamation marks though. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Sunday, 29 April 2007
