Lets face it. If you cant afford a Rolex or Tag, kids watches on us trendy type grown ups are almost the next best thing.
As all those in the UK know, Cartoon Network's Ben 10 simply rocks. If you have not seen it - well in brief a 10-year-old adventurer Ben Tennyson transforms into a choice of 10 alien superheroes using his powerful Ominitrix watch.
Now whilst Spring is usuall a very quiet time in toy sales (or so my geeky toy expert friend Karen tells me) but the Ben 10 watch has totally sold out and is THE watch / toy to have.
Stock up on it now to avoid little tears (reminiscient of the great Telly Tubby Tantrums), or just sell it for a fortune on E-Bay to desperate parents.
Em Rocks will be wearing hers with pride.
