Red and blue solo cups

The 2015 UK general election is mere weeks away, and the whole country seems to be getting terribly excited about it. Candidates are hitting the campaign trail, journalists are placing their bets, and everybody is tweeting like Kanye West just interrupted yet another acceptance speech.

However, we appreciate that not everybody can muster that level of excitement for politics. If a night in with David Dimbleby and Nick Robinson doesn't sound particularly thrilling to you, we've got the perfect solution: alcohol!

Yessir, there's nothing like a drink or five to make the election night go by that little bit faster. We've even got colour-coded drinking accessories for each of the five big parties - it's time to pick your side and support them by getting squiffy!

16oz Red Solo Cups
Red Solo Cups (Labour)
These bright red cups (which you may recognise from American Pie and countless other teen movies) are the perfect match for Ed Miliband's party. Of course, if your loyalties lay slightly further to the right, you may prefer...

16oz Blue Solo Cups
Blue Solo Cups (Conservatives)
...the royal blue version! Ideal for cheering David Cameron back into No. 10 while you get sloshed.

Bomber Jagerbomb Cup (Individual)
Yellow Jagerbomb Cups (Liberal Democrats)
Given the losses that experts have forecast for the Lib Dems come election day, Nick Clegg and his followers may well need something slightly stronger than beer when the results are finally announced. Jagermeister might do the trick, and this lovely yellow cup is exactly the right colour for LD supporters. If you live north of the border, it also works for the SNP.


Ultimate Purple Beer Bong (UK Independence Party)
Given Nigel Farage's fondness for being photographed with a beer in his hand, we're slightly surprised that we haven't yet seen him chugging a proper British ale through one of these beer bongs yet. It's even the right colours for UKIP.


Not a UKIP fan? Fear not - here's a beer bong that's slightly more suitable for left-wing drinkers! The Green manifesto is pretty tough on waste, mind, so make sure you don't spill any.

Of course, if you're more interested in the other kind of party, there are plenty of other apolitical items in our Party Essentials section. Happy drinking!

Halo 3D Model Kit: Master Chief HelmetHalo 3D Model Kit: WarthogHalo 3D Model Kit: UNSC Mantis
We're huge gaming fans here at Gadget Inspector, so we found it hard to contain our excitement when we saw these arrive in our warehouse. These are the incredibly detailed Metal Earth Halo 3D Metal Model kits, and yes, they are just as spectacular in person as they are on your screen. They're really simple to build and there's no soldering or glueing required just put them together using slots and grooves. They'd look great on any mantelpiece or desk. So with that being said here's a quick run through on what set's we have to offer. 

(£12.99) 
Everyone knows who Master Chief is he's a gaming icon! And now you own your very own model of the ultimate Super-Soldier Helmet.

Halo 3D Model Kit: Warthog
(£12.99) 
I speak for all of us when I say we've all dreamt of owning our very own Warthog to travel around in. 
Halo 3D Model Kit: Pelican
(£12.00) 
If your desk is looking a bit bare then this Metal Model will certainly vamp it up! 
Halo 3D Model Kit: UNSC Mantis

(£12.99) 
If you're fed up of people borrowing you things, then have this Mantis Model on your desk and no-one will touch your stuff again!

About a year ago, we showed you a model of a TIE fighter that we constructed using one of our Star Wars model kits. Well, now we have a brand new range of Star Wars model kits on offer (and just in time for the new film!)

With a newly-replenished stock of model kits in the Gadget Inspector warehouse, we thought we'd put our skills to the test once again and try to construct one of the new models. Just like last time, we started off with two metal sheets and a set of illustrated instructions that we pretended not to need. We popped out the the pieces carefully, trying not to damage them lest our efforts be wasted.

Next, using our superior hand-eye co-ordination (and perhaps a little bit of the Force), we started putting the pieces together. We strongly recommend that you keep a pair of tweezers handy when you attempt one of these model kits because some parts can be fiddly.

Anyway, we're pleased to announce that we succeeded in our second model-making quest, and we have once again constructed our very own Tie Fighter Model! We're very proud of the finished model, and we now have it on display in the office so everyone can admire its beauty.

May 2013

We are about halfway through our weekly competition, and though we've had a good response we think this one has still got some distance to go. The prize this week is an iConheli remote control helicopter! It's a pretty great prize that would entertain people of all ages - plus, all you need to do is follow our twitter page and retweet the said tweet to enter. It really is that simple!

Our helicopter competition is going to take some beating, the iConheli is a great bit of kit and perfect for all you gadget lovers. The iConheli is unlike your standard remote control helicopter as it is controlled by your iPhone (or other Apple device). The iConheli is sturdy but lightweight - this makes it really easy to pilot and gives it thrilling manoeuvrability! Gadget inspector loves their flying gadgets, and we think this helicopter competition is one of our best.

You only have until Friday at 1pm to enter so you haven't got too long left. From a few clicks on twitter you could have this stunning black helicopter at your disposal! We hope our helicopter competition really takes off, and that you're there for the journey.

So we just announced the winner of our festival competition, congratulations to them. They are now the proud owners of a pair of Festival Feet; don't worry too much though as you can have a pair yourself for a small price. Festival Feet are an awesome alternative to wellingtons that just slip over your existing shoes and are then disposable afterwards.

There are times when only wellington boots will do but we are British and optimistic so a pair of shoe covers will do just nicely. Plus, they are certainly a lot more stylish and will weigh you down less when moving your feet!

In our competition we asked you to tweet us your favourite festival and we found the results interesting. Perhaps rather unsurprisingly Glastonbury came first - you guys must have really missed it last year (atleast the Olympics made up for it somewhat) and it is the king of festivals. The next most popular festival was V Festival by quite a way which certainly reflects the more mainstream tastes of some of you. All of the bigger names made up the rest of the list and it's clear you all know how to really do our festivals justice.

If you are going to any of them this year then why not consider our Festival Feet - they are only the price of a pint at the main stage and your mother will approve of the protection they offer. If however you are really keen on winning stuff and missed out on our festival competition then we have some good news for you. We are running a competition every week on our social media sites; go directly to our competition page to see what you could win today!

Festival season is coming up again (it only feels like a few weeks since the last one!) and if you can't wait to pitch your tent and head for the main stage, our latest gadget competition is sure to be right up your street. We're giving away two pairs of Festival Feet, and entering our #festivalcomp couldn't be easier!

All you have to do is hop over to Gadget Inspector's Twitter page and let us know what your favourite festival is. It could be something close to home, like Glastonbury, or something on the other side of the world; it could be a massive, sells-out-in-ten-minutes sort of event, or just something your best friend puts on in his back garden. No matter how big or small your favourite fest is, we want to hear about it!

The competition closes at 1pm on the 10th of May. That gives you the best part of a week to enter - give us a tweet today, and you could win a pair of Festival Feet for your next big weekend!

The iConheli is right on the cutting-edge of RC innovation. This sleek little chopper does away with clunky remote control handsets and instead hands the reins over to your iPhone - how cool is that? You can even use your iPad or iPod Touch if you don't have an iPhone!

But the best news of all is that you could get your hands on one of these iPhone RC helicopters for absolutely nothing. We're running a competition over on the Gadget Inspector Facebook page at the moment, and to be in with a chance of winning, all you have to do is 'Like' our page and share this post. That's really all there is to it!

Spring is here, summer's just around the corner, and now is the time to acquire an awesome RC chopper and take it out for a test-fly. We're announcing our competition winner at 1pm on Friday 03/05/13, but don't worry if you're not the lucky one - this excellent remote control chopper will still be available to buy, and at just £25.99 you'd be crazy not to purchase one!
