Flowboard

We've heard some nice things about the Flowboard lately.  It's out in our new catalog, and with the temperatures still in the 80s here, you'd still be able to use it this fall.  Or, more likely, you can be a favorite gift giver, since if I even thought of going on this, I'd need a full coat of armor to avoid injuring myself.

Rubik's Revolution

Rubik's Revolution is out, and has made one list of the hottest toys for the holiday season.  Toy Wishes expects it to be at the top of many holiday wishlists.

Discovery Shark Attack Soaker – Feel the Torque!

Summer is almost here, and we have the perfect toy to keep you looking and feeling cool. I’m not talking about your typical water slide or pool game, but the Discovery Shark Attack Soaker – the ultimate drenching machine!

The Shark Attack's high-torque, automatic electronic pump delivers a high-powered water stream like no other soaker - no pumping needed! Plus, its extra large water reservoir keeps you playing longer without stopping to refill.

This summer, surprise your friends with a new kind of shark attack. They’ll never know what hit them – but they’ll definitely feel it.

Happy Shopping,
