So what apart from Ben 10 toys would your 5 year old boy like this Christmas?

[tassisssss]

ben 10 is being done is a big way which he'll love.

Now need some ideas for Granny??

heheheh..joined your new thread!

we are getting ds this lego thing don't know why its this price now but it was £50 3 weeks ago!

my parents are getting him batmobile

he will be getting some sort of walle thing from inlaws and some playmobil from other in laws

Ds is getting mainly Clone Wars/Star wars stuff.

Oh and I want to get him a huge box of Lego.

My DS likes puzzles(jig swas),they do Ben 10 ones as well

He is absolutely mad about the game Guess Who and also likes Lego but Ben 10 is top of the list

clone wars, transformers, spiderman anything!

agree with lego - also things like games, top trumps, books, costumes.

In The Entertainer I saw a very cool Guess Who Marvel Heroes edition for about £7.50 I think

we recently got the pictureka game and you can play an easier version for smaller children...great fun, also phirana (?) panic is fun

Will have pretend didn't read that Scneebly. I keep going shopping, buying things that are not on the list and then adding them and crossing them out with a satisfied grin lol.

my ds (5) is getting the following:

dr who playing cards
junior scrabble
downfall
bucket of lego
worm world
binoculars
game for nintento ds
childrens personal cd walkman thing with microphone (argos)

Would you like ds2s list (he's 5):

Vanpirz costume
Strwowrs litsavr
Strworws deeveedee
Power ranger operation overdrive phone (he asked for help with that one)
Rasan crs
Ras chrac
Doctr who lasr scroo jrivr
Ben 10 wosh
Sibrmen helmit
Raven costume

Decipher that and you may have some clues to the mind of a 5yo

PS no idea where knowledge of vanpirz has come from

Star Wars toys

DS is five and last night he said he was going to ask FC for a remote controlled car (which is exactly what he's going to get) and some glow stars and a pot of black paint to decorate his ceiling like the night sky. We will be getting the glow stars but not the paint

hannahsaunt - lol at that, is that a raving costume?! and love the race track one.

hannahsaunt - your DS's spelling looks a lot like my DS1's! Made me

No - it's costume in the style of Raven from CBBC. He knows fine rightly that Santa isn't realy but said with a twinkle in his eye on learning that the sourcing of a Raven costume may be beyond the wit of any gift giver, "Ah but mummy - Santa can make anything"...

wideratthehips - (great name!) just looked at that set on the Lego website and it is MUCH cheaper than Amazon - 69.99!!!!

its bonkers though...who would pay that much?...the one i bough from amazon for £50 was direct from them and free postage...i seriously doubt anyone would pay that much....the correct price is £69.99 as you say..everyone seems to hike prices up at christmas

Lego City Fire station from his grannie.
We're getting him a Trunki and some small sets of Lego/Playmobil from the recent 1/2 price Sainsburys' toy sale. I also decided to buy the deluxe Ben 10 omnitrix due to it being 1/2 price. The Ben 10 DVD is out - obviously not brilliant for adults but great for 5 yr old Ben 10 fans. BTW, DS harped on about the exact Batmobile for months before his autumn birthday. (Obviously, too much CITV!)Anyway, I bought it at £19.99 having tracked it on Amazon. What can I say, it's a big piece of plastic which he lost interest in, in less than a week after wanting it desperately for 3/4 mths. Lego has definitely more play value.

Transformers Optimus Prime
Power Rangers
Disney Cars

Have just been reminded by another thread ... marble run

lol!

hannahsaunt I'm laughing at
Doctr who lasr scroo jrivr
snap

have so far got ds (nearly 5)
one of them blue kids cameras
cheapy remote controlled dalek

and some stocking bits including
sonic screwdriver
harry potter wand
dino egg
thomas train (obscure wooden one)
thomas playdo (obscure train)

He wants
he's asked for a lightning mcqueen toy with a 'button' think its the one with wings off tv. Don't know that he's getting it though lol
He's asked for the doctor who scene it game which he has no chance for as it's too hard by miles. Trouble is there's no decent doctor who toys or games really apart from the odd dalek

He's getting
a bike (meant to be his main present) he wants the ben 10 one but I'm worried it will be too small as it's only 14". He's diddy but want it to last a while. Plus would much rather he had some no name nicer (cheaper!) one lol
some lego or meccano... there's the 4+ meccano set in argos but wonder if it's too babyish. Figured might get him a big tub of basic lego and then move him on to some specific stuff for his birthday
Sea monkeys (if we cope might get the pirate fish tank for his birthday!)

Power Ranger sword thingy.
Batmobile.

My 5 year old DS is getting a little tikes digetal video camera (down to £39.99 from £80), a playmobil plane, a Wall-E transformer, a flashing scooter from my mum, and he really wants (but isn't getting as have no space for it in this house!) a hornby train set.

some great ideas here, thanks everyone!

HA your ds is amazing! very cute list.
