More frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need..

I was on holiday last week and happened to pass a toyshop (one of those "educational" types with wooden toys etc). They had something in the window that caught my eye, however due to luggage constraints I couldn't buy it.

Came home, did a bit of internet shopping, and these arrived today: Bonnie, Clyde and Buck.









They are really well made compared to other "toy" cars and I think they look great. They'll be going on display someplace in the study.

I suspect I may be buying some Mavericks later in the year.

They are lovely, how big are they and what are they made from? I'm hoping you say about 5 inches and wooden.

About 8 inches long but plastic.

Quality of the mouldings is excellent and they have a nice weight to them. Not your typical toy car.

This week I have been seriously considering one of these:

Very difficult to get a response from them, though - that vid's been viewed about 50,000,000 in less than a week on FB, so I suppose they're a bit busy.

Anyone got any contacts/inside news at Jet Surf...?

isn't the original model $12k?

Heads up to anyone on Amazon Prime...

Amazon have a metric arseload of Lightning Deals today exclusive to Amazon Prime members.

This could get expensive.

Already missed a Makita drill and microSD card - they are selling FAST!

[Du1point8]

give me a shout if the fire TV is on the list, note that I don't want stick version.

[JonRB]

I just bought this for £12.22 in 32Gb form.

I really don't need yet another memory stick (I have loads), but I liked the double-ended idea (ooer, missus)

Didn't see it flicking through the deals, I just bought the stick!

I fancied the 1TB SSD for £270 but that also sold out fast!

There is a deal on the Fire TV but it's the stick version (£19).

[superstreek]

Not in the deal but 281 is still not a bad price

Not a prime deal, though it is discounted at the moment. Here you go:

I think that would probably see more action than the real thing

On the subject of novelty USB sticks, I've always quite liked this one:

I saw that one last week, and was sorely tempted, but I am holding out to see if they do that Caterham.
