The incredible 1/100 Nu Gundam Ver.ka has blasted in from Japan and is shipping now!

Bandai's big Gunpla release is an old fan favourite Nu Gundam as drawn by famous Gundam artist Hajime Katoki. The original Master Grade Nu Gundam released way back in 2001, a lot has changed in Gunpla engineering and the new Nu Gundam Ver Ka is an excellent example of just how far Bandai have come. Key features of the Nu include an all non-ABS plastic frame making it lighter, hidden green psycho frame that is exposed when certain sections of the armour separate, water-slide decals for markings, and the option to build it as a twin Fin Funnel set up!

We've just added these two amazing Star Wars scalextric sets to the site.

Scalextric was a huge part of many of our childhoods. Nothing quite beats squeezing that trigger with just the right amount of force ( see what I did there :P ) in an effort to get your car around the lap as fast as possible while simultaneously preventing it from wildly spinning off and terrifying your pets.

Whether you're a fan of Star Wars or Scalextric in general, these sets are absolutely perfect and are sure to invoke the inner child by rekindling some of that good ol' nostalgia.

Swing by our Hobbies Jungle today for more hot deals on Trading Cards, model kits and now Star Wars slot car sets!

The armies of Chaos march forth once again, spreading fear and death throughout the lands. This time however, they're bringing the big guns to the table with these all new hot release warriors of Chaos.

First up to the plate is the Chaos Space Marine Aspiring Champion. This lovely looking chap is big, grizzly and sure to decimate foes in his path (provided you roll some decent numbers). This miniature is painstakingly detailed and once painted and assembled is sure to be an essential addition to your army.

Secondly we have the brand new Warhammer 40,000 Chaos Space Marines Codex which is the first hardback Warhammer 40,000 Codex. This high quality tome contains 104 full-colour pages, and is bound within a cover that features some grim and awesome artwork. The Codex also contains information on how the Chaos Space Marines came to be the bane of their loyalist brethren, from the origins of the Horus Heresy, through to the Black Crusades and the Crimson Path.
