New Look Coming To Our Website

There's a good reason why I've been a tad quiet recently. You see, I've been away scheming and plotting and planning a new look to the Bus Stop website. Today, you can catch a sneek peak. We've put the new format live on our Bean World section. Jump over to the website and take a swatch at the new image. Oh, and I love feedback, so give us a shout with you thoughts.

Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver

We're absolutely loving the Pokemon TCG at the moment. Every time a release comes out, we gasp audibly at how exciting it is, and then observe that the next one surely can't top it. But... They just keep getting better and better, dont they? Well, hot on the heels of the jaw-dropping Arceus release, here comes Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver. Wow!

Feraligatr, Typhlosion and Meganium are back, with more new gameplay elements than you can shake a stick at, legends Ho-Oh and Lugia, half a dozen new Pokemon Prime. I could go on, but the best advice is to grab some quick and start exploring Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver for yourself.

Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver cards are available at the Pokemon Section of our website.

Xenox Space Warriors

It's not often on this blog that I get excited enough about something to write about it before it hits the shelves for the first time, but then Xenox Space Warriors might just be worth getting worked up about. Like all the best toys of its genre Xenox Space Warriors double up as a collection and an action packed game - we just can't wait for a shot.

We'll also have the Xenox Space Warriors starter pack in stock which contains the game board and a couple of Space Warriors to kick start your collection. There are 32 Xenox to collect in Series 1. They should be available from Thursday or Friday on our website. Watch our Twitter stream (@busstoptoyshop) to make sure you don't miss out on the first batch!

A Few Stock Updates

Well its that time of year again where stock arrives and vanishes in the blink of an eye. And as Bus Stop Towers gets busier, unfortunately my blog posts get a little less frequent. Just thought I'd take the chance to give a quick update on where we're at with the more popular items whilst munching my lunchtime sandwich.

Sylvanian Families is thin on the ground, however for the time being, we've still got a reasonable selection, including the uber-sought after Caravan.

K'Nex has arrived back into stock in a big way, and we're currently fine on most of the popular items. Elsewhere in construction Meccano looks fine too, but Airfix (thanks to James May) we have next to nothing left (sorry).

On Playmobil, we're now starting to struggle and there's no deliveries left before Christmas unfortunately. If you're planning a Playmobil present then come and see us pretty quickly.

Finally, on boys hot toys, we're currently fine on stock for Bakugan, Gormiti and GX Racers and we currently have a small quantity of Match Attax Starter Packs and Collector's Tins left. The nation's favourite stocking filler, Crazy Bones are fine too.

For our UK online customers everything leaves, at latest, next working day by 1st Class Post, so you've still a few days. International customers should note that recommended last posting dates for international airmail have now passed, so we cannot guarantee to have your goods with you in time for the big day.

For all your XMas present needs, please check out our website.

GX Racers: Tightrope Terror

At long last we've managed to add the missing piece to our collection of GX Racers. If you haven't tried GX Racers yet, you've been missing rip-roaring, fast paced, car-stunt action type stuff. Very, very cool indeed.

But the one everyone wants is the GX Racers Tightrope Terror. Ever since it got itself (quite deservedly) included in this year's Dream Toy List, the hunt has been on to get hold of this set, up and down the land. Fear not, Bus Stop to the rescue.

Lay your hands on the GX Tightrope Terror here.

Groovy Girl Christmas Special Edition

If there's one thing that always winds up on Santa's List in our house, it's the Groovy Girl Christmas Limited Edition dolls. Don't get me wrong, we pretty much love all the Groovy Girls at Bus Stop Toy Shop, but each year the festive ones just get better and better.

And so without further ado, we'll unveil this year's Christmas Groovy Girl, Snowflake Sophie. In a gorgeous silver/blue outfit it looks like this Groovy Girl is dressed up and ready for all those Christmas Parties.

If you've never come across Groovy Girls before, they make the perfect present for any little princess of ages 3-7.

Clipping onto your belt, each of the Crazy Bone storage tubs is shaped like one of your favourite Gogos. Cool or what? There are six to collect.

Anyway, in the time it's taken to get this blog post up, more than half of our supply has gone, but if you're fast, you might still get one. Order your Crazy Bones storage box here.

Our Latest Sylvanian Extravaganza

Hot on the back of the news that the Sylvanian Family Caravan made it onto this year's TRA Dream Toy list, we're pleased to bring you our latest round of additions to our already stacked shelves full of Sylvanian Family goodies.

First up to enter Sylvania are our new friends the Racoon family, and when they get there, they're going to find somewhere swanky to live - Willow Hall. They'll be able to kit it out with the Victorian Living Room Set, add an old-fashioned twin-tub Washing Machine, a breakfast table and chairs and head to bed with the newly released Nightlight Nursery Set.

That's aside from the already huge range of Sylvanian Family that we had before, and stuff that we ain't even had time to mention. Plus, Applewood Department Store is, at least for the time being, back in stock. Oh, and we've tidied the navigation up on our Sylvanian Families pages to make stuff easier to find.

Check out our whole range of Sylvanian Families Products here.

for Blueberry Pie.
