Whiz under the bridge and spring the trap – see the stones fall on Mola Ram and his wicked henchmen while Indy, Willie Scott and Short Round escape unscathed!

This is a terrific Lego set for any kid aged 8 to 14 (and probably those much, much older).  Build a complete mine track from Lego plus the Temple with its secret trapdoor and the bridge over the track with its cart full of stones ready to drop on the evil pursuers, load up Indy and his friends and start escaping!

The track is 37 inches long and not especially complicated to build, although the colours are a little dull (pretty authentic mine colours!).  The set includes two mine carts and six mini figures – Indy, Willie, Short Round, Mola Ram and 2 henchmen, and will give hours of fun for any kid big or small to build and play with.

Blast off from the shuttle tower complete with authentic sounding noises and lights; open and close the cockpit doors, spread the shuttle’s moveable wings and head out on adventures to strange new worlds to seek out new civilisations.  The shuttle bay doors open to reveal a moon landing vehicle and the shuttle’s working pincer can be used to move the moon buggy around for hours of imaginative play.

The set comprises the base station and tower, the shuttle, moon buggy, control console and requires 3x AA batteries to work.  Also included are 2 play figures, one of whom is definitely an alien!

A great toy which will give hours of fun for little minds to think about and little hands to fiddle with (and maybe big hands too). The universe will never be the same again!

This ultra-realistic FurReal pup is the perfect first pet for any little girl or boy. Biscuit responds to you and obeys six different commands: sit, lie down, sit up, beg and speak. He’ll also give you a paw when you ask if he wants a treat. Biscuit’s soft, cuddly fur and puppy-dog eyes will instantly win you over. Sitting pup measures 21″ tall.

Watch the video and you’ll be amazed at what this adorable puppy can do. A perfect gift for a young child.

Get ready to welcome a fun-loving furry friend into your house when you adopt Biscuit My Lovin Pup, one of the FurReal Friends by Hasbro. This oversized puppy responds to affectionate touches, voice commands, and motion with playful barks and realistic movements. Kids aged five and up are sure to love having a puppy of their very own.

Getting to Know Your Puppy
Nine sensors allow Biscuit to respond when you pet him or issue a voice command. Kids will enjoy the contented sounds he makes when they pet his back and the discovery that if they hold a hand on his back he will lay down, if he is sitting, or sit up, if he is already laying down. Sensors in his nose and mouth prompt him to sniff when his nose is petted or chomp on his treat. Touch his left paw, and he will raise it to shake. A unique photo sensor in Biscuit’s forehead prompts him to flinch, blink, or sneeze when you wave something in front of him.

Take a peek at the back of the bone-shaped tag on his collar to see all the commands he knows. You can ask him to “sit,” “lie down,” or “speak.” He even knows how to shake and will nod or move his paws in excitement when you ask, “Do you want a treat?” Like any voice recognition technology, Biscuit can be tricked by background noise or speech that is unclear. You may want to help younger children practice speaking the commands loudly, clearly, and distinctly, so they are not disappointed by his confusion.

Playing Options
Based on how much attention you are paying to him, Biscuit cycles through different modes. After a few moments of non-activation, Biscuit enters hangout mode. In this mode, he will move his head a little, whine, or bark to grab your attention. After a few minutes in hangout mode, he’ll lay down and go to sleep. Thanks to his photo sensor, he will go to sleep faster in a darkened room. If the lights suddenly come on when he’s been asleep in a dark room, he’ll lift his head and make a mumbling noise.

While the noises he makes when moving betray his mechanical nature, this playful pup has an incredibly realistic look that is sure to have kids grooming him, offering him snacks, and engaging in imaginative play. With so many life-like responses and an irresistible puppy face, Biscuit really lived up to our expectations. His large size coupled with the weight of six “D” batteries could make it tricky for children to carry him around or travel with him, which means that when you head off on family adventures, he’ll probably have to stay home, the same way a real dog often does.

What’s in the Box
Plush pup, collar, tag, plastic brush, plastic bone, and adoption certificate.
