My son wants a spaceship.....Help!

leanneyc

Hi guys, hope someone can help, My 4 year old son has asked for 1 thing from Santa & it's a spaceship??? :eek:
I've have no idea where to find a spaceship. Smyths & Argos only have mickey mouse type ones but he is too old for that.
If any of you have any ideas/experience with this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Leanne

NASA have loads of life size space shuttles that they don't use any more. Would you have enough room in your back garden for one of these ?

Quazzie

Is he looking for a spaceship as in a UFO style, or as in something that NASA would fly?

@chughes Not sure my balcony is big enough, thanks anyway...

@MrJoeSoap Thanks, that one looks pretty good, never thought of checking amazon. Cheers

@Quazzie I think it's a space rocket/shuttle type thing he wants, alot of the toys seem to be either too babyish or too technical for him.

@phasers Thanks for all those links, I already have Lego for him so I want this space rocket to be a toy. That last link, the toy looks great, makes sounds etc. Never seen them in Smyths but will look into that. Thanks a mil

What is his definition of a spaceship?

Megabloks have Halo products. (very competitave, tesco have some at half price at the moment.)

Lego do a space shuttle as in the above post. They also do a pretty cool alien attack range of spaceships which are available in Tesco and Smyths and most toy shops.

Best of luck with that, Its lucky he wrote to santa so soon.

leanneyc

Thanks Kollegeknight, His definition of a spaceship is more a space shuttle or rocket. He is starting to get into the planets, astronauts, that type of thing. I think he would really like the Fisher-Price Imaginext one with all the sounds, little astronauts etc. Thank for your help

The handy thing is that you can check the Smyths website and see if it's in stock at your local branch. If you can't find it then ask the staff.

(Plus if they don't have it when the website says they do then they give you a €10 voucher!)

leanneyc

I've checked & they have it in our nearest Smyths, according to their website, although I've never seen it when I was walking around the shop. I'll take another look

Your Lucky you got such an easy one, I also have a 4yr old space nut and he wants santa to make his room into outer space!!!

Lots of really good suggestions here for your little boy

cynder

My boys have the imaginext stuff and the love it, the space ship does lots of things, one of my best buys

leanneyc

Ladypip, that's hilarious Best of luck with that hehe! Maybe tell him Santa will be too busy on Christmas Eve?
Grindelwald, I have the Imaginext space shuttle for him now, fingers crossed he loves it

Hells Belle

This one says from 18 mths but my 4 year old got one last year and plays with it every day. He was sending spiderman to space when I was leaving this morning.

They have astronauts, a space buggy and a bedsit with toilet under the bed!

Also makes fairly annoying blastoff sounds, which 4 yr olds love :pac:

coadyd

I think i have seen that rocket in tesco
