Introducing our NEW Halo 3D Metal Model Kits

Joel Dear gadget inspector news, new gadgets

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.

Halo 3D Model Kit: Master Chief Helmet

(£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.

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

If your desk is looking a bit bare then this Metal Model will certainly vamp it up!

Halo 3D Model Kit: UNSC Mantis

Making the Star Wars Tie Fighter II Model

Joel Dear new gadgets

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.

Age of Ultron - 5 Things We're Looking Forward To

Joel Dear info

The second trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron was released today, and while we were already pretty excited for the sequel to end all sequels, this second glimpse of what's to come has pushed us back to fever pitch. The movie will be released here in the UK on Friday the 24th of April; here are some of the things that have us most excited for that very special day...

1. Scarlet Witch

See her at 0:36

She's one of the two new heroes joining the team this time around (the other is Quicksilver, who will be portrayed by Aaron Taylor-Johnson), and the new trailer finds her strutting towards the camera while nonchalantly fireballing Iron Man into a nearby wall.

2. Robots! Everywhere!

See them at 0:45

Ultron was already shaping up to be a pretty kickass villain (we love how deadpan he sounds when he speaks), but the new trailer suggests that our intrepid heroes may have more than one Ultron to deal with. At one point, you can see a whole swarm of them, crawling over rocks and up the face of some poor soul's house. Heaven help us all.

3. Hulk <3 Black Widow?

See it at 0:59

There's a rather touching moment in amongst the chaos of that new trailer, and it involves Black Widow and Bruce Banner's big green alter-ego. The Hulk looks a lot less angry than usual as he holds hands with BW and looks utterly, utterly doomed. What does this mean? Can we expect to see a Hulk/Widow ship in Age of Ultron?

4. Hulk vs. Iron Man

See it at 1:14

On the other end of the 'heroes interacting with each other' spectrum, we have that rather promising fight between Hulk and Tony Stark in a bigger-than-usual Iron Man suit. Why are they having an awesome, big-budget fight? Aren't they supposed to be on the same team?

5. ???

See it at 0:32

We've no idea what's happening here (who is this shadowy figure, and why are they getting naked?), but golly are we EXCITED to find out.

Who'd have thought that a <2 minute long trailer could have so many highlights, eh? There are exactly 100 days until Age of Ultron is released - while you wait, why not check out our awesome collection of Marvel merchandise?

Talking Minion Toys - Order Yours Now!

Joel Dear new gadgets

Everybody loved the Despicable Me films, right? And everybody is SUPER excited for the Minions movie that's slated for release next summer, right?!

That's what we thought. Well, we've got good news for everybody: there's a brand new toy in town, and he looks suspiciously similar to those little yellow critters you love so much...

Yes, our Inflatable RC Minion toy is BACK IN STOCK, and he's had a big of a makeover since last time he was here. For one thing, he looks a lot more like his movie counterparts now - who could resist those big brown eyes and that adorably cheeky grin?

But that's not the only improvement, no sir. The best thing about our new minion toy is not how he looks...but how he sounds.

That's right: this is a TALKING minion toy, and he's just itching to say hello to you! He says nine different phrases, all in the original minion voice from the movies. Being a minion, most of what he says is gibberish, but recognisable sayings include "Banana!", "Whaaat?" and "Woohoo!", along with various laughing, kissing, sighing and babbling noises.

Of course, some things don't need to be changed: our minion toy is still super-cute, super-squishy, and very easy to inflate. You can play with him anywhere - indoors or out - and the RC controller allows you to steer him forwards, backwards, left or right. He can perform 360-degree pirouettes, and if he falls down, he'll get right back up again, all by himself!

So what are you waiting for?! The Talking Minion Toy is just £39.99, and he's sure to make a fabulous gift for the kids this Christmas. Order yours now!
