The entertainer Top Gear and Dalek bargain

In the Entertainer in Chelmsford today there were lots of great bargains. But I was really pleased with this- reduced from £12 to £3 ( £10.18 in Amazon)Aqua Challenge Model Making Kit

I also bought trivial pursuit team which was £19.99 and Articulate for £24.99- not bad for the High Street I thought, though I am prepared to be corrected- and I've kept the receipt just in case. They were marking stuff down as I was in there about 15 minutes ago, so worth checking.

    Home Bargains also has the Top Gear aqua challenge book, for anyone who isn't near an Entertainer shop. Actually a really good little package - hubby had great fun making the models :rotfl: They also have the Cool Wall sticker book and the Activity Book. I *think* the sticker and activity books were 99p and the model book was either £1,99 or £2.99. Can't remember properly.

    Hours of fun arguing with your partener of what is sub-zero and what is a pile of poop :rotfl:

    Thanks OP! :T

    ALthough I found the website really slow to load, there is a sale on there and they have a really goodhttp://www.thetoyshop.com/TVAndFilms/OtherTVFilmToys/Top-Gear-Triple-Book-Set/EPN402669 package of the Top Gear book plus two others f
    Three awesome Top Gear books featuring things to make and do; Model-Making Kit Amphibious Car Challenge, Cool Wall Poster Book and The Challenges Sticker Activity Book. A great gift for Top Gear fans young and old.

    Top Gear Cool Wall Poster Book

    Build your own Cool Wall using the 84cm pull out for you to stick over 40 reusable stickers featuring Uncool cars through to Sub-Zero cars.

    We all know it doesn't really matter how fast a car is or where it's made; what matters is whether it's cool or not. And there's only one judge, and it's not Richard Hammond. He's too short to reach the real cool wall. So here's your own wall where you can be judge, jury and Jeremy. And you don't even have to be tall to use it.

    Quotes featured in the Top Gear Cool Wall Poster Book include: "This one is so scary, we think it's cool" Jeremy.
    "It is uncool! It's trying too hard." Hammond.
    "It's a very brilliant car and that is the end of it. Yes I am right." Jeremy.
    "It's like pressing a button on a beautifully crafted watch... and all the volcanoes in the world erupt!" Hammond.
    "It's like putting a Saturn V rocket in a food blender!" Jeremy.
    "Once you start driving like an Italian this starts to make more sense." May.or £4.99
    The Top Gear Challenges Sticker Activity Book

    Comes with over 60 stickers.

    Jeremy, Richard and James have been given some pretty ridiculous challenges on Top Gear: turn a Robin Reliant into a space shuttle; turn cars into boats; restage the World Cup with cars. Some results have been better than others...
    Quotes from the TV show include: "This list of things that could go wrong is enormous..." Hammond. "...and if any one of them goes wrong..." May.
    Relive the fun, with loads of things to do; quizes, crosswords and wordsearches, maze and board games, plus over 60 stickers.
    Activities include
    Car Biathlon Dash
    Mountain Discovery!
    Captain Slow Goes Fast!
    Who Said That?
    True or False?
    Bugatti Veyron Vs Cessna Aircraft
    Rubbish 70s Super Cars Super Quiz
    Caravan Conkers
    Stretch Limo Crossword
    Space Shuttle Shuffle
    Ice-Cool Anagrams
    Spot the Dampervan
    Quick Draw
    Get Splatted!
    Small-car Soccer
    Giraffes and Dust TrailsModel-Making Kit Amphibious Car Challenge



    Remember when the Top Gear boys were presented with the amphibious challenge? The water-friendly vehicles they produced were - how shall we put this? - possibly not that sea-worthy... Follow the Top Gear step-by-step instruction manual and build your very own card model car-boats; Jeremy's Toybota, Richard's Damper Van and James' Triumph Herald car sailing boat! These 3D models are approx 30cm long by 8cm wide and up to 24cm high.

    The Model-Making Kit Amphibious Car Challenge features quotes from the 3 presenters;
    "I've bought a camper van which I'm going to turn into a houseboat. Of sorts." Hammond.
    "Why not just get a car and put an outboard motor on the back?" Jeremy. "Instead of using the engine to power it on the water, I'm going to fit it with a mast and some sails." James. "One observation I would have... sailing's really boring!"
