This Summer's Biggest Craze Is Here

We love them! From the drawing board of the imagination comes Flat Ryderz, the incredible new toy car that pushes flat and then races at incredible speeds. To find out more about Flat Ryderz, go here.

Meet The Magno-z Number 2: Chin

Chin is intelligent, sporty, and confident. Has a crush on Mary but doesn't spend enough time on the relationship. Would rather hang out with the boys.

Find out about all the Magno-z and get your hands on them.

Can Gelli Baff Make Kids Brainier?

Do you remember the sand box from pre-school and nursery days? Endless hours of fun, filling buckets, beakers and other peoples pumps with sand.

Would you believe that the government have now made the sand box compulsory! As part of the new national curriculum, all nurseries and pre-schools are being encouraged to include at least 10 minutes a day of 'messy play' and even better, it's not limited to building sand castles. Teachers up and down the land are snapping up Gelli Baff and Bionic Putty for use in the classroom - who would have thought...

You can buy Gelli Baff and Bionic Putty here.

Meet The Magno-z Number 1: Bruce

Bruce looks tough but is all talk. Likes to live on the wild side but should re-think his ideas. Find out all about Magno-z here.

Doctor Who Battles In Time: Annihilator

It's here and it's even early - the most eagerly awaited Trading Card launch in years. Doctor Who Battles In Time - Annihilator Extension is here. 100 new cards for the serious fans of the show. Find out more about the Battles In Time Annihilator Extension here.

Things We Love: Number 2

Bionic Putty - Bionic Putty manages to combine the qualities of both solid and liquid. You can bounce it like a ball or watch it melt like ice-cream. You can mould it, snap it, stretch it or bounce it to incredible heights. Just enjoy! You can buy Bionic Putty here.

Hair-ee Magno-Z: We're TV Stars

Today sees the launch of TV Advertising for Magno-z (Formerly known as Magno-Man). We always new they were cool, and so did hundreds of our customers. Look out for the ads on all the Nickleodeon channels. If you want an introduction to Chin, Bruce, Odee and the rest of the gang, or if you want to get your hands on some, then follow this link to the Magno-z.

Things We Love: Number 1

We can't help loving Gelli Baff. If you've been on Mars this past few weeks, here's what you've missed.

Gelli Baff turns a whole bath-full of water into Gelli. Yes, really. Does it work? Yes, really.

Now, we can already hear the groans from parents, but...

One powder turns your bath to Gelli, and when you're done, another turns it back to water. It is amazing!

It's also incredibly kind to children's skin and cleans up without a mess.

We just love it! You can order Gelli Baff here.

Black Emperor II - Update

After fierce competition on Saturday, the second (and here was the surprise), third, fourth and fifth Black Emperors were won. Fifteen of the world's top Magno-Man players gathered in store for an unforgetable two rounds of action. A nail-biting finish saw the winner emerge with six points, whilst three runners up scored four each.

Balamory Conspiracy Theory

I'm becomming increasingly concerned about the whereabouts of Buki Akib, the first actress to play Josie Jump. She vanished into thin air. No-one knows what happened to her or where she is. I have a dark theory surrounding PC Plum, Archie and a Kangaroo Court. Read the full story here.

Is Filly The New Magno-Man?

Filly arrived in our shop on Friday and the early clamour for them tells us that it's the next big thing. They're a collection of 20 small pocket sized horses. Drop by and see what we're talking about. They're cool and the latest must have for the girl about town.

Doctor Who Battles In Time: Annihilator Series

Hot news - following on from the huge success of the Doctor Who - Battles In Time Exterminator Series, we've just learned that a new series of cards is about to be launched. It's going to be called Annihilator and is rumoured to contain 100 new cards. Due late February, if you're a regular in our shop, come and see us about pre-ordering some packs. We'll give you more news as we get it.

Sun Is Shining

For the first time in what feels like a decade, the sun is out in Largs. Hoorah! Bit chilly though, so it's not quite time to put the beach balls back on display in the shop.

First Week of Sunday Cards

Good to see a few faces turn up to swap cards. One VERY lucky individual bought a pack and picked up a Super Rose Golden Ticket card (1 in every 1000 packs) .

Remember, you can check my collection out anytime - follow the link on the left to the BIT website and view my cards - user name "busstoptoyshop". Also remember that I'm not trying to collect the full set, so I'll do a like for like swap for anything I've got.

The more people that turn up each week, the quicker everyone will be able to complete their sets, so come on down.

I'm Ready For You

Sunday Afternoon Cards happens for the first time tomorrow in the shop - I've got myself prepared. If you're a geek like me, here's what I've invested in this:

Yu-Gi-Oh

Lord of The Storm Structure Deck
GX Starter Deck
1* Enemy of Justice Booster
1* Power of The Duellist Booster

I'll build on my deck as time goes on, but any YIO fans out there who want to offer advice on how to play this little lot, please comment or go to the website and drop me an e-mail.

Doctor Who: Battles In Time

I bought six packs for myself - only one super-rare to report (Pickled Eggs #80). If you are coming along to swap, go to the BIT website - you can see my collection under the username "busstoptoyshop". I'm a nice guy, so I'll swap any of my cards with you (common for common, rare for rare and so on) so long as your card is in decent condition. If you see anything you need, then drop into the shop any Sunday between 2 and 4.

Another Wet and Wild Day In Largs

It's Friday, it's wet, it's a typical January day in Largs. Come and visit us - we'll put the kettle on and make you a cuppa to help beat the elements. With the weather set to be like this for a few days, you need bus stop toy shop in your life to warm your day up.

Sunday Afternoon Cards

There's always something new at bus stop toy shop. Sunday afternoons have always been quiet for us. Duncan might as well be doing something rather than sitting looking at the walls. Plenty of people come into the shop to buy their Doctor Who: Battles In Time cards and Yu-Gi-Oh cards. With the local schools now discouraging people from bringing in their cards, where do you go to swap cards and play the games? bus stop toy shop, of course. Now on a Sunday afternoon between 2 and 4, you can bring along your deck, swap cards or even challenge Duncan (who's a beginner so you'll win easy).

Some Things to Note: I'm not a child minder or a creche and I would prefer young children to be accompanied. However, I will help beginners to learn the games, offer advice and also make sure novices don't swap away something worth a fortune for a crusty old common card.

Magno-Man: Black Emperor II

We have finally got hold of another Black Emperor. Following on from the intense competition for the first Black Emperor, it's time to do it all again. You need to be at the shop at 3:00pm on Saturday 27th January to be in with a shout of winning.
