Hot Toys for Christmas 2010: Predictions

383 33 September 11, 2010 at 11:46 AM in Chat (2)
What do you think will be the hot toy for 2010.

I'm leaning towards mighty beanz right now. My son is a huge Star Wars fan and is crazy about them. They not only do Star Wars, but Marvel Super Heros and they also have a normal line for the younger kids. I like how cheap they are. Only $5 for a package of them.

Ok - So I "figured" this out myself. There are 6 packs of the with 16 a piece. Then there is a mega pack which as 100. So apparently there are 4 extra. This is the one we want!

It's already sold out and going for over retail on Amazon!
Take another look at Amazon. There are like 100 dopes selling them below retail. Definitely not hot.wave

I'm betting on and buying Squinkies!
I know a guy that buys stuff then sells it in his store. Well, he bought a bunch of these, and already returned them.
If I were you, I would not buy too many, you are going to look very silly returning them when they turn out to be a dud.shake head

Star wars mighty beanz on the other hand, seem like a hot item this year.

I know what the hot item is this year....Jobs!
People that don't have them are desperate to get them.
That's the answer people. The economy sucks, and people are not gonna dish out money for toys, they are worried about putting food on the table.bulb

Honestly, Zhu Zhu pets were a rare thing. I don't think you are gonna see anything like that this year, and if something does get hot, it won't be till November, when people are shopping for Christmas. The guy i was referring to told me that sales are slow, there is no surefire hot item. My best advice as hard as it sounds is to wait, and see what happens. People said Elmo live would be hot and everyone went out and bought cases of it, only to realize later that they had to send those cases back because the demand was not there.

Beyblades, not sure how the new ones are doing on ebay, but the old ones have excellent resale value, probably because the franchise is back for the first time since 2004 or so.

However I don't feel these were too popular in the US the first time around but they are sure hot in japan.

I think its sort of regional though, they seem to be more popular in Canada, and in other parts of the US, maybe California. We don't have any beyblade leagues around here, perhaps in an area where there are some they would be more popular.

I think they are excellent toys though, probably one of the best created since 2003 or so when they first came out in the US, they are fun to play with even for adults (there are adult beyblade leagues out there, again just none where I live) and they have some strategy to them.

Star Wars Figures, Beyblade and the new Harry Potter Legos.

My kids have never been wrong in guessing the hot toys Smilie

They went bananas over the new Lego catalog that had the Hogwarts Castle on front.
