The blog may have been quiet but a lot of things have been happening in the world of the HexBug since the international Toy Fair in Nuremberg.

For a start, you can now order HexBug's online across Europe from the official website. They ship from the European distribution centre. You can also post reviews on the website.

Following the Toy Fair, distributors have been set up in many European countries, so people should see the HexBug popping up all over the place!

HexBugs at the International Toy Fair

He will be happy to explore all day and night.....well all day at least! A big thank you to Graham Cooke from Southsea in Hampshire for the images. We will hopefully be updating the blog with a wiring diagram and video for those interested.
