Hama-tastic


We've been working on our Hama bead range for a while now. As ever at Bus Stop Toy Shop, the principle is simple. We don't really do things online unless we can offer the widest range available at the lowest price. Well, our range is getting bigger still. Look out for even more Hama beads over the next couple of weeks, including the spooky glow in the dark kits for Halloween. To learn more and stock up on your Hama supplies, go here.

At A Quiet Time of Year, An Update

September is a quiet time in the toy industry. Schools are back, and Christmas trade is yet to kick off. I thought today, I'd give you the lowdown on what we've got planned over the next few months.

1 Another business. Yes, you heard right. It's top secret at the moment, but if you've ever spent too long looking for that £10 gift for the hard to buy for, then this will be for you.

2 Even more trading cards. OK, so you know that we already stock one of the widest ranges of trading cards in the UK, but look out for even more expansion in our ranges from Yu-Gi-Oh, Doctor Who: Battles In Time and Pokemon. There's tonnes of new releases in the run up to Christmas, and you can find them all from our Trading Cards homepage.

3 More Pre-School Toys - We love our wooden range from Wonderworld and it always sells well in the shop. For a while, we've been hunting for other great ranges of pre-school toys to complement it. Well, we've found not one, but two. Look out for them appearing on the site in the run up to Christmas.

4 Our mission is to please. Since our online Uglydoll launch, we've been selling them at a phenomenol rate. As a result, keep watching, because the range will just get bigger and bigger. Enjoy!

Plus loads of great stuff I can't even begin to tell you about. Oh, and the Halloween range will be in soon too. Have fun!

Scoubidous - Still Around

Wow. We've seen a strange phenomenon. Recently we've been going through a process where we've put lots of stock previously only available in our retail store onto our website. Scoubidous was one of those products. We thought just about everyone was done with Scoubies, but we've been amazed by the response. People up and down the land are still frantically knotting away. If you've been looking for Scoubidous unsuccesfully, we still have a great range for you right here.
