Which Toys Will Be the Hot Toys This Year?
Here's The Hot Toys of 2008
Wondering which toys will be the hot toys of 2008? You're not alone. Black Friday is right around the corner and everyone is trying to get a jump start on putting this year's hot items under the tree. If you want to avoid lines, headaches and disappointment this year, these are the toys you should be keeping your eye on...
Elmo Live
Who'd have thought Elmo would make it to the list of the hot toys of the year again? Well it happened! Elmo Live is already selling out in stores and making its way to the eBay resale market. If you want to pay retail and not scalper prices, you're going to want to start shopping now if you want this one under the tree.
Bakugan Battle Brawlers
If you've never heard of Bakugan you're not alone. I hadn't either. But when I called the local toy store to see which toys were already selling out Bakugan was the first word out of the clerk's mouth. But what are Bakugan Battle Brawlers?
The best way I can describe them is to say they are reminiscent of Pokemon action figures, and they're seemingly just as popular as Pokemon was in its heyday. Needless to say, they're definitely going to be one of the hot toys of 2008.
Webkinz
Believe it or not, Webkinz are still as popular as ever. With the new releases coming out, there's going to be a mad dash to have the hottest ones under the tree. My advice? Shop online or pre-order from local gift shops. It's the easiest way to have these hot toys under the tree in time for Christmas morning.
And remember, when it comes to getting the hot toys of the year without resorting to eBay's extortion prices, it's not always what you know - sometimes it's a matter of who you know. Make friends with the clerks at your local stores and be nice and polite to each and every one of them. If you get them on your side, they can give you a heads up when shipments of the hot toys of the year are expected to come in.
