The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 250
Sweet home Alabama! Another weekend is here which means...... time for our Retro Movie Rundown!!
Drilling, welding, stitching and gluing our way to soap box building glory, we find ourselves dragging our Frankenstein's monster like creation to the top of our nearest and biggest hill. Pausing for a moment to take one final look at our creation in all it's glory, we'll then launch our way down the course, hitting ramps and nailing corners as we go. Will we beat the pack or will we just beat our creation into more parts then we began with? Only time will tell. Chocks away!
Have a happy retro weekend!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 249
Crisps and dip at the ready! It's another retro movie filled weekend folks. Let's tuck in...
Like many of you retro movie lovers in the land, we spend a lot of our time waiting for a special delivery. Sometimes it's some classic retro 80s clothing, sometimes it's that new tap you're had to replace (exciting!), however sometimes, juuuust sometimes it's something a whole lot more amazing and wondiferous! When it arrives, you're so excited and relieved that you completely forget all the drama, heartache and frustration that came in the moments before. Being completely overwhelmed with emotions and joy at the sight of your shiny new thing and what it will mean. Some deliveries are good, some a great and some are simply the best things ever...
Have a happy retro weekend!

It's official peeps! The Harry Potter first entered our lives a whopping 20 years ago today!
Yep, the very first book in the series and the one that had us all hooked, 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' was first published today back in 1997. Don't worry we've checked the dates and despite only feeling like a few years ago, 1997 is now in fact 20 years ago. Let that settle in for a moment...
To honour the beginning of Harryâs magical journey, we're now giving you guys 20% off ALL Harry Potter Merchandise on our site using code 'HARRY20'. Limited time only peeps! Yep this code will stop working at midnight Tuesday 27th June so be quick!
Celebrating this spellbinding occasion, we thought we would take a little walk through the magical world of Harry Potter and pluck out our favourite 20 facts about the Harry Potter book series you might not have heard before. Enjoy!
1. There are only 500 first-edition copies of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in existence: around 350 hardback copies, and 150 proof copies.

Princess Diana of Themyscira Is Back! Our Top Reasons We're Expecting Wonder Woman To Rock!
Ever since Hollywood took a perhaps.. fanatical interest in the weird and wonderful work of superheroes and the butt-kicking movies from DC and Marvel start to really stream out of the studios (10 superhero films planned between 2016 and 2020 alone!), the world has been crying out for our beloved heroine Wonder Woman to get the screen time she truly deserves. When we first heard the new back in late 2014, we knew our pleas had been heard. We knew this would quickly become something of a big deal and it's not safe to say it truly has!
Taking on this movie was we're sure no easy task with fans all over the world craving some serious Wonder Woman action and nothing but the very best would do.
With so much hype surrounding this latest dive into the superhero world already and the UK release just a few hours away (1st June 2017), we thought we would take some time to give you our personal Top 5 Reasons We're Expecting Wonder Woman To Rock! Enjoy...
The Action...
Any superhero films these days needs a pretty decent amount of action and drama right? We're expecting nothing less than all out war sprinkled with slow-motion shots, strong posses and a splash of Lasso of Truth action.
