Toys 4 Big Boys

[Jackass]

Did anybody go to this in the RDS?

I was at it yesterday and I have to say it was a pile of poo!

I've been wanting to go for a couple of years now, but now that I've been, I fail to see what all the fuss was about.

The best part was the artic spa's ... I really want one ... anyone got €30,000?

Apart from that though most of it was crap, and for any decent stuff, you couldn't do demenstrations or play around with them...which is what I had expected the whole thing to be about

There was some cool stuff though. The cars on display are fricken awesome! and there were some handy gadgets too ... and a game of poker was going on, but you couldn't get near the thing, and not a hope of getting in for a few hands.

The highlight it has to be said was the fashion show at the end! Lingerie all the way!

All in all though a bit of an anti-climax and not much to do at it

Luckily I was passed on a ticket, but they are around €15 I think, I would have been well miffed if I payed in!

Downtime

They were €45 for last night!!! So count yourself even luckier.

BoozyBabe

I went last yr with the bf & am V into gadgets & all that stuff!

Thought it was the biggest load of sh!te ever, we couldn't wait to get out of the place, plus we drove a 2 hr journey to get there & then 2 hrs back again.

A complete waste of time & a load of rubbish!!!

Save your time & money & don't bother going.

I went to the first one and it was pretty good. Got some christmas present ideas out of it, and had some fun. Not a bad way to spend a sunday afternoon.

went on a free ticket

I'm glad it was free

I can't imagine paying in to be sold junk

Does anyone know if the Ferrari on show was a 360 or an F430?

Does anyone if they're giving out free entry tickets at the door again? ( bit of a wierd policy) or am i gonna have to blag my way in again.

AFAIK it's an F430. Reg no. is 05D430. It was parked outside where I work on Suanday last and I took some pics for the hell of it because I've never seen one up close before.

So Glad

I was offerd to go today but I chose to go to school instead. Aren't I a good boy?

Ummm, neither. He's right, there is a MR2 done up to look like a Ferrari using a Ferrari lookalike kit you can buy. I saw it on the news last night. Des Cullen does indeed have a 430 on display, but this is a seperate thing altogether. It's just showing off a kit you can buy to convert your MR2 into a 355 or 360 (I think) lookalike. So his mate isn't an idiot and he wasn't pulling his leg, it's a different thing altogether from the Des Cullen display.

went on the freebie on thursday was crap only thing good was the cars and the hot birds walking around...

Went to it a few years ago. Thought it as a load of rubbish.

Thomas_S_Hunterson

Me and some friends tried to blag our ay in today, didn't get in, didn't want to pay the €16, just left

Lump Basher

Only a sucker would buy a ticket for that show. It's just like a larger version of The Gadget Shop. What the hell did you expect to see there? A hoverboard or something?

jabaroon

Went last night....pure crap. Was there last year too and thought that it was just a fluke that it was crap, thats why I went again this year. Wont be making the same mistake next year!
