have just stopped being cool ... who is ben 10?!!

[bluecow208]

my son wants ben 10 for his 5th birthday. i have never seen this - obviously losing the grip! I am sure of course he is an aspirational role model. is he good for 5yr olds?
so uncool. next i'll be bemoaning the days when they made real music...

Dd spotted the free Mr Benn DVD with the Times today and asked if it was Ben 10 ... I have no idea who it is or where she's heard of it from!

my ds (6)is really into Ben 10!
He is on Cartoon netwrok or Boomerang (not sure which!)
Ben 10 changes into various aliens

Ben 10

Hes Ben Tennison, a kid who finds a watch full of aliens that he can transform into.

Its great

Not a awatch, Disenchanted, an omnitrix.

(£10-95 in Argos).

He is current fave in our house too, ds and the girls love it.

I sadly know the names of most of the aliens too

I just wish they wouldn't constantly repeat the same episodes.

Ds has jst taken, Ghostfreak, fourarms, heatblast, diamondhead and ben to bed with him LOL.

Both my ds's like Ben 10. There is a film coming out apparently. Toys r us sell loads of stuff, the fave item seems to be the watch thing, Omni- sommat.

Yeah the film comes out in Feb.

My ds's loved the Mr Ben DVD also! Captain Pugwash tomorrow.

DS has the omnitrix - takes the flippin beeping thing everywhere
he loves the Ben 10 game for the wii too

My ds has the game for his ds, but he wants it for the wii now too.

Ds keeps giving his omnitrix to me when he goes into school, and then i go off to the shops and listen to it bleeping all around town.

is the game for the ds easy to play?
ds is asking for a ds for his birthday so will need ideas for games for him!
Dh can have the lovely job of going to see the movie too

If you need me to I will conduct a full frank Ben10 interview with my 10 yr old when he gets out of the bath. I have a sneaking feeling that he would quite like to be Ben 10. Oh for the days when he wanted to be Thomas the Tank Engine x

something to annoying all ben 10 fans...call him 10 ben instead.

Me and Dh have great fun winding them up

BTW the ben10 (10 ben) film comes out atthe cinema in 10/11 feb, not cartoon but proper film so get you tickets asap because I imagaine its going to be ramming.

The game for the ds does state that they need basic reading ability to be able to play properly, but this doesn't seem to stop ds (who can't read). If he gets stuck he asks me or his sisters to help.

The kids have taken to calling each other dweebs, thanks to Gwen though.

Hah ... DS got into this before it was available in the UK .. and wanted toys and a themed party .. had to get califrau to ship over some toys for him

you're lucky just nip into toys r us you can't miss it

Oh it's out for half term then isn't it. Must get tickets for that, else ds will never speak to me again.

Same here Twig, luckily his uncle got him a couple of figures from ebay.

LTH I think I might try that tomorrow
Thanks Nutcracker, ds keeps asking us to help him on the gameboy games with reading but hopefully by september he'll be able to read better on his own!
Ds told me off because I missed his fairytale day and I didn't send hom to school with a Ben 10 costume

£40

Thank god ds doesn't look on ebay

ARE YOU READY? Ben10 is 10(funnily enough) he found a watch that allowed him to change into 10 aliens. He has a cousin called Gwen and both of their surname is Tennyson! Gwen can do magic. my son says he thinks your boy would be fine with the game. Also the theme tune according to my son is ace and wicked!!! Hope that is of some help. Shabster for 10 o'clock news in sunny Boltonxx

Who else is now humming the theme tune ?
