The HOT TOY thread for the 2009 Holiday Season

JohnnyLaRue · **7-22-2009, 1:32 PM**

Does anyone know or can predict the must have toys (or non toy item) this holiday season? Usually there is the one or two must have items. Also what about non toy items? Will there be a new item put out by a company this fall?

hmm. not a specific toy - but I think Ni Hai Kailan is going to take off like a rocket for toddler toys. (noggin/nickolodeon).

i also think that for tweens a big thing might be Wizards of Waverly place merch

We were in Target today and my DS soon to be 2 went crazy when he saw the Ni Hai Kailan stuff (NI Hai he likes to call it).

My DD6 iS already asking for Wizards stuff; Target had some pens and little notebooks in the $1 Spot and we got a few of those.

I also think that if nickolodeon came out with a Yo Gabba Gabba Toy - like dj lance's boombox - that it would be a real hot item. but that's just me.

I think the DSI will be hot this Christmas. As for other toys there has been some speculation that Transformers will once again be a hot item.

My kids traded in their DS lites and their GBA games to get
the DS lites; it didn't bother them at all. My DD6 loves the camera
and being able to record music on it.

I can see no backward compatibility would bother some though.

barbie and ken dolls looking like twilight actors they come out in november i think

krissy72 · **8-13-2009, 11:15 AM**

My DD11 is still asking for Rosetta Stone. She is also asking for an alarm clock that is compatible with her ipod touch and a digital picture frame. So far she has not asked for any Wii games.

3 boys · **8-16-2009, 10:18 AM**

In our house the "hot toy" will be the Toy Story Buzz and Woody dolls.
My boys LOVE them and the ones they have now are in VERY bad shape(Woody has no head and Buzz has no legs but they still tote them around

)
I will be very happy to replace them with new ones!

neile457 · **8-16-2009, 10:28 AM**

TSM is also coming out, at least for the WII.

I think anything Twilight will be huge...Especially since the latest movie New Moon will be out the end of November.

(says in a small voice) Yes I am one of those adults who love Twilight!!

I think you're one year ahead. With Toy Story 3 coming out next summer, I imagine we'll have another round of Buzz and Woody toys out there!

I will definitely be scopping up any and all the New Moon merchandise that I can, last year on BF at Kmart I got the Edward poster from Twilight

it was only $3.99 too, a lot better than the $7 or more at most other places.

This game is alot of fun - Fiance surprised us with it the other week , a definate must buy , loads of fun!

I would probably say the Dsi too is going to be a popular toy this year ..although I find it hard to classify it as a toy lol

Cremer83 · **8-19-2009, 1:14 PM**

Hey first post here, I have been a long time creeper of these sites and finally decided to join.

The New Super Mario Bro for the WII WILL be the game to have this Christmas. It is scheduled to come out in mid November and the gamestop I reserved my game at, has already stopped takin pre orders on it.

This game will be super hard to get a hold of before Christmas, if you want to make sure you get it I would reserve it...

What exactly is it?

Cremer83 · **8-19-2009, 5:37 PM**

its a adventure game for the Wii like the New Super Mario Bros gamethat came out for the Nintendo DS although they revamped the who game and up to 4 players can play at once

Mommyof2 · **8-19-2009, 8:58 PM**

I saw a ton of Toy Story toys @ Target. I had never seen them before, so they may be new. They had a whole Toy Story section. There were Buzz gloves that you can put on and of course, they make noise! Bunch of others but didn't look too close.

lakj98 · **8-19-2009, 9:18 PM**

The Leapfrog Zippity looks cool. I had not seen that before now.
Not sure what will be hot this year, but I will not be buying many toys. I am thinking new TV's this year for the kids bedrooms. I am sick of buying all of the toys and they play with none of them.

*waves* Hi

Team Edward!!!

Hot Topic already has a new moon t-shirt and poster.

I am waiting for Walmart to come out with New Moon merch, they had a bunch of keychains, buttons, necklaces, and magnets when Twilight was released and they were all only $5 each, which is awesome compared to most other places selling Twilight merch.

mommyofanangelb · **8-21-2009, 9:50 AM**

Is there gonna be a new Elmo toy this year? Or have they given up? Elmo Live didnt sell that well last year; at least I dont think so.
