Adventures with Lego Cars2 and Duplo Rescue Helicopter giveaway

It's exciting times for CARS2 lovers with the release of Disney & Pixar's Cars2 launched in cinemas today. Going to see Cars 2 is at the top of our to do list .

My almost 5yrs old twins have also been eyeballing [eying just doesn't look right] off the new release Lego Cars 2 range. I am so surprised they actually put the Cars2 sets back on the shelf. I keep telling them wait for your birthday.

Some of the construction sets are beyond their age & ability at the moment -just look what is available !. They will love recreating the movie scenes with all their favourite characters.

    Lighting McQueen, who travels across Japan, Italy and Great Britain to take part in the Grand Prix adventures, and Mater, who gets caught up in an intriguing adventure of his own: international espionage!
Spy Jet Escape (RRP: $89.99)



Mack’s Team Truck (RRP: $69.99)


World Grand Prix Racing Rivalry (RRP: $24.99)

Escape at Sea (RRP: $34.99)

Radiator Springs Lightning McQueen (RRP: $12.99)  

There are so many different sets to chose from. Specials are sure to snapped up in the upcoming toy sales which coincidentally starts the day of their birthday 1st July 12.01am.{Late night for me}.
I am thinking the Lego Cars 2 ~ Duplo will be more suitable for out and about (less pieces to lose) and a more challenging Lego set for them to share in 5-12 age range. 


Duplo is still THE much favoured toy in our house, played with most days here and even at preschool I see groups of children playing with it.  These are just some of the new Duplo range.

Through building, stacking, role playing and social play, children can explore, test and push their limits and abilities.
Dr's Clinic
I love the look of the new DR's clinic (as a nurse), it's looks so much fun and would work as a great toy to introduce children to medical experiences.The nurse's car is cute too.

Who wants in -
I'm giving away this amazing Rescue Helicopter !
The GOOD news - I have the 3 sets of the LEGO DUPLO Emergency Helicopter to giveaway.
The emergency helicopter is off on an exciting mission to save a woman in need. Once
she’s safely on the stretcher, the helicopter needs to rush her to the hospital so the doctor can help her. Rescue the woman and fly her to hospital!


• Emergency helicopter with rescue equipment
• DUPLO pilot and woman figures with medical bag
• Rescue tower
Age: 2-5 years
RRP: $34.99

I also wanted to mention the Duplo farm friends app for preschoolers .My boys love this free app.
It has Duplo figures we own and love with cute farm animal noises (ah for a few mins peace) and farm machines.

  There is also a Lego Duplo Facebook fan page you can join or download free music on the Lego iTunes music channel HERE.

To enter to win one 1 of 3 - Duplo Rescue Helicopters - the mandatory entry is to tell me something funny - What do you want to be rescued from and/or by 'who' or maybe even if you have ever been rescued ? 
I will pick one creative answer and 2 random winners.
The rules: Easy !

Australian residents only.
Giveaway closes 8th July 2011
Please make sure I have a way of contacting you.


Disclosure : I did not receive any Lego / Duplo product for this review. I was happy to give Lego a mention because I know my boys are going to enjoy the Lego Cars2 range and so I could offer this giveaway of 3 Rescue helicopters to my readers.No financial payment was offered nor accepted for this post. All opinions expressed are purely my own.

I want to be rescued from my washing - it just never ends....I'm happy for a helicopter to whip me away from the washing (and for the washing fairies to come in whilst I'm gone)

I wish I could be rescued from toddler tantrums, a couple of times when we were growing up, my mum would come home from work to us kids fighting it out. She advised us she didn't go to work all day to listen to this, and she'd walk out, visit a friend, whatever, we'd sit in silence wondering how long it would take for her to return.
Sometimes when the kids are feral, I'd be happy to be sucked up and taken away!

lol one of my very first blogs (thus not the best writing) was about needing to be rescued (literally):
http://chroniclescamera.blogspot.com/2007/07/brok...

I can laugh about it now, not so funny at the time...nor in the months that followed it...

P.S. My boys love Duplo too! The Cars Lego would be difficult for my boys as well, but it looks super cool :) I love watching them build things!

P.P.S. Love some of the above comments - I can totally relate! Rescue my pelvic floor got a laugh from me - don't think mine can be rescued!

I need help conquering Mt. Washme and then the inevitable Mt. Foldmore that will follow soon after! I'd love to be rescued by the Old Spice guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owGykVbfgUE) so then maybe my hubby's clothes will smell like him and not like a greasy engine. Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice. ;)

Hello! I know you don't know me, but we've got something in common. I got your blog address off the Stirrup Queen's blogroll and was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me help a couple who is trying to add a little one to their family. We're holding a silent auction for them this weekend (Friday and Saturday) on goteamwitt.blogspot.com and need help getting the word out! We would love it if you would spread the word via social media or here on your blog. Additionally, we are always looking for more donations to auction off, so if you or someone you know might be interested in making a donation, all the information is under the donate tab. If you have any questions or would be willing to post a pre-written blog post about the auction and the sponsored couple, please contact Kristin at goteamwitt@gmail.com Thanks in advance for taking the time to consider this!

I need to be rescued everyday between the hours of 4pm -6pm preferably by my wonderful partner who would have already arranged for a childminder and chef to do the nightly duties while we are away relaxing in a lovely restaurant.

My co writer at Alice Becomes had to be rescued by firefighters from a 6 story high block of apartments when she managed to get locked in the master bedroom with two girlfriends. They were about 17 and staying at her Aunt's flat. They got a little paranoid and locked themselves in the master room when they went to sleep at night, only to find they couldn't unlock the door in the morning. They called my (now) husband, who drove 20 minutes to watch in laughter as the Fire - ies used their big ladder to get in through the window and break the lock down. A great story we love to tell over and over!

Hmmm, when you draw the winner of this competition I will begin my trek along the Kokoda track. I am really hoping that I don't need to be rescued this year!

If I win one of those Duplo Helicopeter, they will certainly rescue a few hours of my day by entertaining the kids so that I don't have to. Not that I mind entertaining them, but it's nice to have some time to yourself every now and then.

I was rescued by the elderly couple who live up the road from me. I locked myself out of the house, wearing my PJs (no bra!!) while Tricky was inside asleep. They took me inside, gave me tea and let me use their phone. I'd have preferred to be rescued by George Clooney whilst wearing something fabulous but alas, it did not happen.

In the black of night with the rain pouring down,,
Running late to the Ugandan campground,
We were all traveling in the truck,
When things began to become unstuck,
The wheels began to spin,
A dirt road turned to mud and panic began to set in,
Stuck in the mud in the dark in the middle of Africa is not fun
We needed rescuing but seriously! who would come!
Into the dark my now hubby and all the men went,
Like warriors to work they were sent,
Into the jungle and cut down branches and wood,
Stuffed it under the wheels until they thought we were good,
We slipped and slid heading for the edge of the road and the valley below,
When finally with the men pushing, including some lifesaving African fellows,
We gripped dry earth and roaring off to the top of the hill went,
All the men were completely drenched and spent,
The men rescued me and us all,
Thank goodness for hubby! That's why I married him of course!

My daughter would love this Duplo she calls then Wokka Wokka's and always runs outside to watch them fly over the house so she would love to play with them!

On Christmas morning we were travelling to my parents house (7 hours away). It was raining i hit a pothole and the tyre blew out, sending us across the road, down a hill and through a farmers fence. Lucky no one was hurt. My hubby came to our rescue, he fixed my car and got us back on our way.

My little guy would love this, as i have band all electrical gaming devices in our home at the moment this would keep him occupied.

I want myself to be rescued from the increasing clutter in the house. No one tries to arrange the things except me and this wants me to run away from the house.

Someone please rescue me from the dreaded night-time routine of (trying) to put my son to bed. Just once I'd love to put him to bed and he goes to sleep straight away and I get a full nights sleep. That's what other people's kids do, right? LOL!
