Battle Strikers Tournament Set

Christmas is going to be here before we know it. My son started writing his Christmas toy list in July and every day a new television advert helps him to increase his list. But with the current doom and gloom economy how can I be sure that I do not waste my money on gimmicky toys that do not deliver? Well here are three toys that will be ‘hot’ this Christmas because they are well made from a well known brand and offer a depth of play that goes beyond the five minute wonder toys.

First up the Battle Strikers Tournament Set is a new spinning top game that uses magnetic technology to give fingertip control to your child during play. This collectable, customisable game offers hours of competitive fun.

Next a new version of the highly addictive reaction game ‘Bop It’ has been released. This is a hand held game that offers fun and frustration for all the family. Will you be able to react quickly enough to stay in the game?

Lastly the ever popular Lego brand has developed a range of board games to complement their traditional construction sets. The Lego Minotaurus game allows players to enjoy the usual Lego building via the construction of a maze. They then get to race their opponents through the maze to the goal. Finally when the game is over, it can be changed into a completely different maze designed by you with rules adapted to your way of thinking.
