The Entertainer opens pre-orders for exclusive Meccano range ahead of UK launch

The EntertainerBritain’s toy shop, The Entertainer, has opened pre-orders for its brand-new and exclusive Meccano range, available now via TheToyShop.com, ahead of the official in-store and online launch in September 2025.

The exclusive range, which includes updated instructions and step-by-step build guides, features iconic new products such as the 2-in-1 Race Car Construction Set and 150-Piece Free Play Bucket Construction Set, as well as firm fan favourites such as the 10-in-1 Racing Vehicles Construction Set and Makers Toolbox, all of which are available to pre-order online now.

The news follows the announcement earlier this year that The Entertainer has become the exclusive UK stockist for the new Meccano range and sister company Addo Play becoming global licensors of the brand.

Once launched, the full range will be available to The Entertainer’s customers nationwide through its 160+ stores, over 1,000 concessions including Tesco and Matalan, as well as online via TheToyShop.com.

Established in 1898, Meccano is the original build-it-yourself system that turns imagination into engineering. With real metal parts and working gears, the brand empowers creators of all ages to design, build and play, and aims to make STEM learning hands-on and fun.

Andrew Murphy OBE, Group Chief Executive Officer of The Entertainer, said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing Meccano’s brand-new range to market and to be the exclusive UK stockist of the new products.

“Meccano is more than just a toy; it is a century-spanning symbol of creativity, engineering and the evolution of play. We’re proud to bring this legendary brand to our customers nationwide, offering construction ranges, brick sets and magnetic building kits at great value.”

For more information and to pre-order the new range, visit TheToyShop.com.
