I've recently bought these in DIY stores for 4-5 times the price.
They are £3 for 12 at B and Q (25p each):

I got some instore at Wickes - they were even more (about £10 for 25 or £15 for 50) (30p each).
This link gets you 100 at a rate of 7p each and they are just as good.
I won't tell you what they do, if you don't know you wont need them :-)

My local pounshop sells these cant remember how many you get about 12 i think.
Thanks op ordered but if looking for heavier fixing try out a Brolly Fixing or Cavity Wall Anchor.

Used something similar today to put a coat hook on a hollow door. Worked well and it's the first time I've used them. Got them at B&Q though in a pack of 12. Think they were about £4 or something just for 12.

I agree too. I also find the screw in zinc ones to be almost useless.
Nor for this exact scenario, but if the plasterboard is dot and dab over block I use rigifix fixings for heavy items. Can be got from eBay. Very useful!

that is exactly what I need. What sort of weight can they take ? Do you need a fixing tool for those ?
The quality and condition of the plasterboard is more significant than using metal or plastic types of this fixing. Although use metal ones to maintain fire ratings of the wall/ceiling, and plastic for safety around electric cables and fittings.

I've found you can't tighten the plastic ones sufficiently as the threads tend to get stripped so I prefer these metal ones.

I use these from toolstation
http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Screws+Fixings/Cavity+Fixings/Hollow+Wall+Anchor+4+x+32/d90/sd1930/p36548
very good for the price about £1.20 for 10.
Saw these the other day, I'm sure they are hideously expensive but look impressive:

Did manage to get a box full and the setting tool for about £12 from B&Q which seemed ok for the money. The setting tool is an absolute god send.
