Retro LEGO Ad back on TV

LEGO bave decided the retro route is the way to our wallets and mighty right they are! Try not to laugh! Go on try....

TV remote really is magic

Its the worlds first gesture control TV channel changer, in fact it'll do much more than just that with 13 different gestures that can each be allocated a funtionfrom your infra-red you'll never need your normal remote again. Swish, twirl and flick your wrist in Harry Potter fashion and watch as you "magic" away bad shows or silence boring presenters with your wand. Comes complete in a presentation box and once programmed others will have to plead for the correct moves to control the TV, SKy box or anything else infra-red you've decided to take over. £49.95 from FIREBOX

GI Joe looks familiar

Code named "Wossy" the folk at Hasbro gave Mr Ross this figurine of himself based on the all action hero, doesn't look like he'd be that useful in battle really, perhaps to pass a bit of ammo over or bore the enemy with a waffling film review.

Timmy Mallets right hand man

A stable part of any eighties kids TV diet was Wide Awake Club with the presenter Timmy Mallet and his unique presenting insanity. His utterly innoffensive weapon of choice for keeping his guests in check was "Pinky Punky" better known as Mallets Mallet. We can't think of any decent reason to own one, an oversized pink soft-foam hammer variant.....But the buy button looms large! £14.95 from Gadgetshop
