By: Julie on 27 NovemberI have purchased a number of gifts through Coolthings Australia, and they have not let me down. Even with the previous mishap of receiving the incorrect order the customer service was outstanding. The lady who I had spoke to rectified the issue efficiently, and in the most kindest way possible. I cannot say a bad thing about the products and their customer service. My shipping this time around was quick. Two thumbs up!

Star Wars Metal Earth R2-D2
By: Ingrid Grant on 14 MarchI am happy to give a review. I have two adult sons who are not the easiest to buy for so near their birthday and Christmas I always check out this site. Cool Things have not disappointed me particularly for my sons. They are both big Star Wars fans and the R2D2 metal Earth will give my son the opportunity to build the robot. I am sending it on to Perth for his birthday.

Metal Earth Drum Set
By: Jack on 18 DecemberIf you want a great gift for someone, unless you have a superhuman level of patience, a magnifying glass, needle nose pliers and an extremely steady hand, this is a terrible idea, the parts are small and fragile and the instructions are confusing.
