LITTLE WIZARDS ROLE-PLAYING GAME
Kids Are Magic
The kids in our lives all dream of visiting other worlds, of being heroes in their own special Tales. Here's their chance! Little Wizards is a storytelling roleplaying game for inventive and inquisitive kids ages 6-10, developed to introduce them to the magic of creating their own characters and stepping into a whole new world. It's simple enough to learn in just a few minutes and engaging enough for older kids and adults to play with their little ones. Packed with advice for gaming with youngsters, this is a perfect introduction for everyone.
Originally designed for the French market as Contes Ensorcel s by Antoine Bauza and published by Le Septi me Cercle, this English-language edition features updated rules and game content developed by Amanda Valentine Amanda Valentine.
ZOMBICIDE SEASON 2: PRISON OUTBREAK
Season 2: Prison Outbreak takes the players to an indoor environment with vicious close-ranged fights, Prison Outbreak contains all the needed material for a new player to enter the Zombicide universe, and lots of content, almost all new, for an existing Zombicide player to expand his game experience. In fact, Prison Outbreak holds even more material than the core game published in 2012 (now nicknamed Season 1)!
The Prison Outbreak will feature berserker zombies. They're really tied to each other. Prison tiles display tortuous alleys, small rooms and doors everywhere, filled with berserker zombies immune to ranged weapons. You have to think fast, foresee the improbable and jump into melee at every turn. This is like a modern dungeon where levers are replaced with switches to open or lock doors, use security rooms and reach secret areas.
Prison Outbreak also contains six new survivors with their Zombivor aspects. These survivors are really designed to act as a team, as their skills really complement each other. They're precious assets to any Zombicide team.
Missions featured in the rulebook form a campaign on their own, as survivors battle to turn a zombie-filled prison into a reliable shelter. Many challenges await them, but they have new tools of the trade: riot shields, automatic shotguns, concrete saws and many more toys. There's even an alternate ending.
*** We've also received a big re-stock on the whole Zombicide line! This includes:
TOXIC CITY MALL
WALK OF THE DEAD 1 AND 2
TOXIC CROWD
ANGRY ZOMBIES
DOG COMPANIONS
ZOMBIE DOGZ
Come get your Zombie on!!!

DOCTOR WHO FIGURE COLLECTION #6 LAST DALEK
From Eaglemoss & Underground Toys! Celebrate 50 years of Doctor Who with this fantastic new figurine collection. The series draws from every era of the show and includes all eleven versions of the Doctor plus his greatest monsters. YOUR FIGURINE Cast in a specially formulated metallic resin and painted by hand, every figurine in the collection is sculpted with incredible care and attention to detail. Every character is shown in a classic moment from a specific episode. The process begins by collecting detailed reference material from the Doctor Who archives, which is then sent to the sculptor who produces a 3D digital sculpt. This incredibly detailed file allows the sculptor to include even the slightest detail down to the wrinkles in Davros's face or the buttons on the Doctor's shirt. This digital sculpt is refined in consultation with the BBC's Doctor Who team before it is finally approved. The factory scales the digital files to exactly 1:21 scale and uses them to make precision tools. The figurines are cast in a special metallic resin and painted by hand, using original production colour references, and then given final approval by the BBC. Digital modelling allows the sculptors to include an incredible level of detail, which ensures the finished figurines are as accurate as possible.
