Many of our regular customers will know that we have a policy in The Hub - we sell everything on our website and in store at the recommended selling price (or sometimes below). Whether it's a large item like the LEGO Super Heroes Batcave or the latest collectable craze, such as Moshi Monster bracelets & charmlings we are careful to stay within manufacturer guidelines.

One of the latest, most desperately sought after toys of 2012 so far has been Skylanders. We pre-ordered these a few months ago and finally received a small shipment of wave 3 Skylanders earlier this week which we launched via our Facebook page. They've been so hard to get hold of that in recent weeks we've seen other businesses selling them for scandalous prices way over the £7.99 & £19.99 suggested price points. A pattern that we've seen repeat itself at various times of the year as the latest hot property gets snapped up. As parents ourselves we empathise with the need to get your hands on the latest "must-have" toy, but also the desire to buy at a good price without feeling ripped off by someone trying to make a quick buck.

One of our suppliers has commented recently that we are "the most ethical toy retailer they've ever dealt with" because of this policy. This surprised us, we'd never really thought of this policy as being ethical - just an extension of our own core values as parents & consumers ourselves. We guess this is one of things that sets us apart from some of the other places you can buy toys and will be one of the main reasons that our customers love coming back to see us again, and again, and again!
