Game Mechanics – Magic Rug + Racing Gate

Game Mechanics is back again this week with some fun new personalized items. First off, they are offering three items you can post your text on: a Whiteboard, a Doormat, and a 2-sided Large Sign. In addition, they are releasing a Magical Leaf Rug. When you or your friends walk on this rug, the leaves part creating an open path to walk on the grass. It really is magic. And lastly, this week they are offering up a Start/Finish Gate. You set up the gate and tell it you want it to track your time. When you go through the gate, the timer starts. And it does not stop until you go through it again. This is great for those people who have set up a space as a track. You can finally see who is the fastest going through it. Plus, it works with locomotions for all those who have been begging to see which are the fastest. As you can see, Game Mechanics is definitely bringing the fun.

Fans of speed and miniaturisation rejoice! VEEMEE releases a range of super-powered mini-motorbikes this week.. There are four different styles of bike to satisfy the tiny petrol heads inside all of us. For bouncing around on the sand dunes there’s the Mini Moto Quad Bike. For the man or woman around town there’s the rather more conservative Mini Moto Road Bike. If offroading around the rolling hills of Acorn Meadows Park is your thing then you can turn some heads with the Mini Moto Dirt Bike. Finally for the ultimate in pocket-size performance, there’s always the Mini Moto GT. Each comes in a choice of two colours and there is also a discounted bundle featuring all the bikes. VROOOM!

Complete your female avatar’s spring wardrobe with the stunning, must-have Whitecap In Ur Dreams skirt.

Street Styles

There was a time when an authentic street look wasn’t much more than a pair of high-tops a basketball shirt and snap-back cap. Those days are gone! VEEMEE is proud to announce Street Style, a range of clothing inspired by the glitz and glamour of the urban music superstar lifestyle. Choose from high contrast patent leather jackets, bold printed material on a mix of close and loose fitting garments accessorised with heavy gold chains and diamond encrusted pendants.
