The End of the Offers

Well, it's been a month of us being more than a little generous and hundreds of you took full advantage. At last though, the final fifth birthday offers have been announced, and you guys have your final couple of days to take advantage.

It's been fun. Now what will we do in August?

Could Bumpeez Be Big? I Think They Might...

There are a couple of pocket money toys I'm really excited about heading our way for the later part of 2011. I might post on the other one next week, but first let's talk Bumpeez. There's not too much information out on them yet, but there certainly isn't any shortage of hype.

Bumpeez are an outdoor/indoor, game/toy, collectible/lots of fun thing - all of which seem like pretty good combinations. Led by the main character, Omar, there are over a hundred of the main circular parts to Bumpeez to collect, all featuring different characters, each of which fits into various outer rings to create a toy that bounces in all sorts of wierd and wonderful ways. The creators have come up with 25 different games that can be played with a Bumpee already, and we're promised plenty more to come, to keep the playground buzzing all autumn. I can't wait for them to arrive in stock towards the end of August - check out our Bumpeez information page for more details.

Melissa & Doug Returns to Bus Stop Towers

It's a long dull story, with no one main reason, as to why we've not had one of our favourite pre-school manufacturer's toys around recently. However, at 9:45 this morning, we took delivery of a whopping 17 boxes full of Melissa & Doug produce.

All our favourite Melissa & Doug items are back including Magnetic Fishing and Princess Dress Up, but there's also tons of new toys for 2011. Drop in and see just why we love Melissa & Doug toys so much (online customers, we'll have them all on our website later this week.) Stand out amongst them (but hey they're all great) are the Shape Sorting Clock, Stacking Train and Pizza Party - come see.

Fifth Birthday Offers Continue

We're only five days into July, but we and all you regular customers are having loads of fun with our special offers. In the first four days, we've done a great deal on our current number one: Moshi Monsters, a deal that could scarcely be believed on board games, an incredible YuGiOh! giveaway and a tasty saving on tops girls toy, Zoobles. (Most of them last more than a day too, so you're not too late if you've yet to put in an appearance.)

Tomorrow, we unleash a great deal on long-time Bus Stop favourite, Uglydoll, and all this has happened with still 26 days of the month to go. Wow.

Happy Birthday to Us

Yep, it's hard to believe that we've been around for five years already - just seems like yesterday that I opened the doors for the first time and nervously awaited the first person approaching the till. Anyway - of course it's time to celebrate and you're invited. We're bringing you crazy good deals on all your Bus Stop Toy Shop favourites all month - in fact there's a brand new special offer being added every day for the whole of July - every one of them on stuff you guys love.
