Firebox comes in 1st place because these guys get their stuff first, and they were also the first place you could buy the Pico Z palm sized choppers in the UK (that we're aware of, see it below this review) in fact, Ed. got a chopper for his birthday this year, and within 2 days the rest of the guys had one, and coupled with the theme tune to TV Classic Airwolf blasting out of our PC speakers, it was certainly a fun time to which we owe a massive thanks to Firebox.
Another great product we found here was their Thinking Putty, at last count they had 5 different types of this super stress relief in a tin ranging from bouncy putty (trust us, this stuff bounces high and has all sorts of mad properties) Magnetic puttty, colour changing putty the list just goes on. It becomes like an addiction and you just want to keep collecting them.
The service from Firebox is good to, and its easier to find the stuff you want here too. Once again they have price tags to suit all buyers from £5 to a mammoth £340k for our favorite product of them all the Sky Car!!
Yep you heard us right, a sky car! (see pic)
Albeit this is really only for the super rich you gotta give firebox credit for stocking it!
PicoZ Micro Helicopter
Small chopper, big fun
Worth the money!!! At £24,95
Its great fun and easy to fly, probably the best R/C model on the net. we recomend it to any novice & pro alike
Please Note: The PicoZ is available in three channels (A, B and C) , so you can fly up to three at once!
Pedals, joysticks, flight manuals, Bruno Brookes-style leather blouson…it's a right rigmarole flying a chopper, isn't it? Well no, not if you buy the amazing PicoZ Micro Helicopter.
Ready-to-fly straight out the box, this palm-sized IR flying machine is perfect for indoor flights. And it won't blow off the boss's toupee or decapitate the dog, even in a head-on collision, as it's only 17cm long and weighs a mere 10g. More importantly it won't fall to bits, as it's constructed from robust polypropylene foam.
You control the airborne action via a twin channel, wide-beam infra-red transmitter that doubles up as a charger. With a range of up to 30ft, you'll soon be conducting hush-hush raids on distant enemy desks and, thanks to the Pico's eerie blue strobe light, putting the willies up the late shift. Just make sure you don't hum the music to Magnum whilst doing so - it's a dead giveaway!
Unlike the whopping great petrol-driven choppers of yesteryear, the Pico's powerful micro motors are powered by a lightweight lithium polymer battery, giving flight times of up to 10 minutes from a half hour charge. More than enough to harass housemates and buzz the budgie. Indeed, when it comes to manoeuvrability, this nifty chopper is the canine's cojones. And that's down to an ingenious auto-stability system which makes flying the Pico a doddle.
We guarantee you'll be utterly addicted to this titchy triumph of micro technology before you can say 'Jan Michael Vincent' (whippersnappers get Googling), and the whole indoor flight angle adds a thrilling new dimension to proceedings. Open spaces? Who need 'em!

Thinking Putty
Bend me, shape me, any way you want me
|
Now this Putty is addictive, we have about six tins. It is by far the best Putty on the market at a great price of £7.95
Thinking Putty's unique properties mean it doesn't react quite like any other substance known to man. Thinking Putty will bounce, but with enough force it will also shatter. Thinking Putty will stretch, but you can also tear it. Thinking Putty can even be made to snap. As David Coleman used to say, "Quite remarkable".
Thinking Putty is completely unique and now, thanks to Firebox, you can own a tin packed with around 90g of the stuff, ready to put to work for whatever cause you see fit. Remember: there's very little that can't be achieved with a tin of Thinking Putty and the bare minimum of effort:
- It bounces...
- It stretches and squishes...
- It lifts print from newspapers...
- It snaps, crackles and pops...
- It shears and tears...
- It melts and drips...
- It even shatters!
Thinking Putty is perfect for stress and tension relief, as a desktop or office toy and as a cure for boredom. Made any amusing sculptures or found other interesting uses for Thinking Putty? Send us your photos, videos & reviews!
Watching people react to Putty is truly a unique experience. Maybe you just look at it, hesitant to touch something that might be "sticky" or "gooey". Perhaps you aren't comfortable playing with a toy in front of your workmates? Eventually, though, your subconscious wins over, it'll be in your hands, and you'll never put it down! Squeezing, stretching, and shaping. You won't even realize it's there! As it melts your stress away your creative potential will be unleashed!
...Once you pick Thinking Putty up, you won't put it down.

How does it do that?!
Thinking Putty is a dilatant compound, (which means it becomes solid under the influence of pressure), and it displays four different properties on four different time scales:
- At very long timescales, it behaves like a liquid spreading out onto a flat surface.
- At moderate timescales, Thinking Putty stretches like a plastic solid.
- At short timescales, it bounces like an elastic solid.
- At very short timescales (the impact of a high-speed projectile), Thinking Putty simply shatters.
