*MEGATHREAD* Top Toys of 2015 announced for Christmas (incl. prices and where to find them)

So the sheep buy what they're told. Lol

Is that what you tell your children on Christmas morning?

"Guess what son, I know you wanted that toy lightsabre so guess what I got you? A bear trap, you little conformist turd."

Good effort, OP, but I'll be damned if I'm going to be told what toys to buy based on an arbitrary list made by retailers. Load of rubbish, this annual charade is.

So the sheep buy what they're told. Lol

The IDO3D pens are appalling, you'll end up with eight pens the same colour and spend six months waiting for the stuff to dry before throwing the whole lot in the bin. Your kids will have a better time skimming forty pound coins into the sea.

As the owner of a small, local independent toy shop, I just wanted to quickly ask people to please consider at least trying your local specialists before ordering this years must have toys from the big box shifters.

We depend on this time of the year for a large amount of our business, and without it we wouldn't be able to stay in business.

We carry over half of this list of top toys in stock, and our pricing is competitive too. I'm not saying to buy from me, as that would be just as unfair to your local shops, I'm just saying to consider whether your local independents can help before ploughing more money into the big corporations.

Remember, when you shop local you're not buying a new 3rd home for a fat cat chief executive, you've helping a local person to send their little girl to dance lessons, keep a roof over their families heads or even just to put food on the table.

Kids may be horrible but I'm sorry to say I was no better. My Dad was a hardworking soldier and train enthusiast who spent most of 1965 saving up to buy me a big model railway set for Christmas.
Come the morning itself I was thrilled. There was a massive box fulled of track, trucks, coaches and engines. I carefully unpacked everything and sorted the contents into the appropriate category.
And then I played all day.....in the box.

Your comment, number of likes and this thread appearing in the first week of November only proves further that the toy industry is winning and that parents are continually feeling a little powerless in this regard. All adults should think about the response from most parents to their child in a 'he told me to do it' scenario; why should the response to Christmas marketing be any different.

By the logic you mention; if a child really wanted a Bear Trap we should wrestle one off a bears leg to fulfil the order if we have to. Not buying a child a 'conformist gift' is not disrespectful to the child, it isn't encroaching on their human rights or causing irreparable damage nor is it in any way an indication that the child is loved less which is equal to the fact that buying a child what they ask for / demand / marketing tells us to; doesn't mean the child is loved more.

The fact you responded and the number of likes also indicates that many are resigned to being, so called, sheep, but appear to have an internally fuelled aggression, believing that it is out of your control. It isn't.

The best gift a parent can give is their time, which is something a child might rarely specifically ask for, to interact with their child albeit with a toy of some description whether it is in the top ten or not. This is obviously true as much of the time as possible but I think has added importance on xmas day.

One of the things that puzzles me is how many people are stuck in a loop (this applies to all adults buying gifts for any children), if you are a parent that has more than one child or even if you have one child who is say for example 6 years old. You will know about what they have been given in the past / last Christmas and if it was really worth it; many even begrudge buying a toy that they know is a waste of money but still buy it anyway.

It can be harder for people outside of the inner family circle to judge what to buy and these gifts are sometimes even worse and even more subject to what the industry tells us is popular. Too often a gift is purchased to appease the buyer rather than the intended recipient. The industry is engineered this way to make it easy.

When we wake up from buying for the sake of buying, it's then we will really feel sheepish.

Heat for all the effort you have put in !! well done OP

Not interested in the toys but heat added for all the effort put in.

Oh dear my kids are so unfashionable....Santa isn't delivering any of those...

I wish I'd have used a condom

Or...he buys his children things they want, not what they're told to want?

The list does look rubbish this year, my kids have only put one of these on the list for santa

Mine want an new iPad and a pink iPhone 6s Plus....an orange in a sock is all they deserve!
Not even December yet and I'm fed up hearing I want bah humbug....

Heat for the effort though

How do they decide the top toys?! My kids don't want anything on that list

That's not what kids want!. iPads,IPhones ,Xbox one,Ps4,Wii U, that's what's on most kids Christmas lists.

If you donate an old toy to argos you get £5 voucher so you can get the sing a long elsa for £29.99

From personal experience, kids play with new toys for about 6 weeks, … From personal experience, kids play with new toys for about 6 weeks, before they get shoved in the cupboard never to be seen again! Every October/November we do a cupboard clear-out in preparation for Xmas, and I've lost count of the number of times I've heard "Oh I forgot I got that for Xmas last year".Read lessRead more

I wouldn't count LEGO in that category. It can give many years of pleasure and if looked after can be passed down to future generations in the same condition it was when it was bought.

Can't say the same for the RoboFish though !

The days of humanity may be at an end very soon, could someone please … The days of humanity may be at an end very soon, could someone please think about this thread properly, its really sad how people follow trends and are told what to buy for their child/ themselves. Your child should receive what you feel is best for them, what you're capable of buying. Don't let machines and corporations decide your child's next toy, be brave and ignore marketing plots like this - you've been fooled!Read lessRead more

I let my child decide what he wants, thats what lists are for and you don't have to buy everything on em, ask repeatedly what they want and the list will change, buy what stays constant.

you can get pie face from asda for £10

The LittleLive Pets mice look better than the birds. They're basically Hexbugs with ears.

Santa refused to £50+ for the paw patroller... Deer deer

So the sheep buy what they're told. Lol

Sad isn't it. Although, to be fair, it's the kids who are influenced and write these toys on their list leaving the parents with little choice.

My kids don't want anything on the list - just half of the Smyths Toys catalogue! oO

Wow!!! This thread just got exciting!!!!!

They're free. I reckon you could get them one each.

Wow the shyte that gets posted on a thread about our kids toys

Call me a sheep if they want it they get it end of lol

I know most of its rubbish BUT it makes my kids happy and thats good in my book

When all their mates have got the particular toy they wanted but my lad has'nt because i didnt want to conform.....

It is once a year, i work 12 -16 hours a day running my own business 7 days a week and hardly see my kids so if they want a particular toy for chrimbo they are getting it and I will be happy to sit christmas morning and help my kids unwrap their toys happy days

Why all the rude comments when somebody has taken the time and effort to create a list of, what I would say "Ideas" for kids popular presides....no one has said you HAVE to buy them....

Well my 3 boys have not asked for anything off this list, Who puts these lists together?

ps heat for op time putting it together

Tracy island really? Just get the kids to make it themselves Blue peter style.

Seriously though, I would have thought Minecraft Story Mode game would be on that list, pretty much every child I have spoken to wants that game for christmas. My 6 year old has requested minecraft and the Fur real starlily unicorn, I thought that latter might also be on the list considering the distance I had to travel this week to pick one up as it was out of stock everywhere.

She got the shopkins ice cream truck for her birthday and loves it and she got one of the frozen skating dolls for christmas last year but has only played with it twice (it's a bit rubbish to be honest)

BAN BLACK FRIDAY!

We better off with out this crap. The so called deal's these realtors list, make us think we are getting a deal. The fact they have genuinely been cheaper prior to xmas event, just means they are kidding you. To put the price up, so they can bring back down to a normal price. dont be fooled by these miss leading sales, and use your savvy eyes and intuition
