Man of Steel came out a week ago, and the 7 days that have passed since have been one big Superman stupor for the folks here at Gadget Towers. We've always been pretty big comic book fans, and this new blockbuster gave us a great excuse to let our geekier sides come out to play.
If you follow Gadget Inspector on Twitter, you're probably well aware that we've been running a big Man of Steel-themed competition all this week. Offering a pair of Superman Cufflinks as the prize for our favourite answer, we asked the Twitterfolk this question:
"If you could have any superpower at all, which one would you choose and why?"
The answers were imaginative to say the least. Here are some of our favourite responses:
"My superpower would be to make people tell the truth. I'd have great fun making politicians reveal their darkest secrets :D"
- @Trishie82
"I would have magic hands that cleaned the whole house in minutes :)"
- @lizzie_harry
"xray vision...no more dodgy socks for me for xmas"
- @co_durhamspurs
"read my bosses mind #greatestsuperpower"
- @TheHappyMammy
Which brings us to our winner, and the recipient of those cool cufflinks:
"Invisibility! So many possibilities, sneaking backstage at concerts etc!"
- @ClareJFox
So that about wraps it up for the cufflink competition, but there's still plenty of Superman-related joy to be discovered here at Gadget Inspector. This Superman Wallet is down from £14.99 to just £7.99 at the moment, which means that we're both saving you money and giving you somewhere to store it.
You can never have too many gadgets, and that's why we're always adding new items to our collection! There's always something new to discover, and whether it's a cool new RC toy or just something interesting to decorate your home with, the Gadget Inspector site is the perfect place to discover it! After all, we're just as gadget-geeky as our customers!
So here are three new arrivals that we thought we'd bring to your attention:
- The Take a Break Mug is pleasantly chunky and bold of colour. It'll make a great home for your hot drinks, and it goes rather well with our
Take a Break Tin [no longer available] and the Take a Break Coasters. Talk about your perfect sets - these three items are ideal for those emergency tea and biscuit breaks!
- If you enjoyed crashing your Micro Drone Quadrocopter into the wall over and over again, you're bound to be equally besotted with the
Bladez Remote Control Quadrocopter [no longer available]. This compact wee 'copter is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, and beginners and masters alike will find plenty to love in this brilliant bit of remote control kit. It can do all kinds of cool stunts, and the 2.4GHz frequency means that ten people can fly their quadrocopters at once! Oh, and it's currently on special offer - we're letting it go for a full £28 less than the RRP!
- Finally, we come to the Katana Bookends, and these might be our new favourite product. You might be surprised to hear that us hard-working gadgeteers have time for any leisurely literary exploits, but the truth is that we love reading...and we love it even more when our books look like they've been skewered on a samurai sword! The magnetic design means that you can conceal the actual bookends inside the cover of your books, leaving either end of the 'sword' as the only exposed parts. It's an astoundingly realistic look, and if you've been searching for a way to make your library even more awesome, your search ends here!
Not keen on that haul? Don't worry - we're always adding new products to the Gadget Inspector site, so keep checking back on a regular basis. Who knows what we'll stumble upon next?
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!
The iConheli RC Helicopter is a remote control toy for the 21st century. Forget about clunky handsets and fiddly little thumbsticks; this particular RC helicopter is controlled using your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. Pretty nifty, eh?
And the best news is the price. The iConheli usually costs £49.99, but we at Gadget Inspector love a bargain and so we're currently letting the copters go for just £22.99. That's a saving of £27 - less than half price!
All you have to do is add this radical remote control chopper to your basket, head to the checkout, and enter the following code:
GI-Twitter-220413
This will bump your copter's price down to a lean £22.99. This offer won't last long, so make sure you take advantage of it today - you won't find a cheaper chopper anywhere else!
