fabnsab Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Someone makes this thread every year and it always helps me immensely since I'm out of touch with the latest and greatest. And this thread always gives me a heads up. There isn't one yet so I thought I'd start. Mind you, I have nothing to add since all my 4 yr old wants is barbies so far. TIA for posting what to look out for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbeck96 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 From what I've read on this board so far, I think that it is safe to say that the Disney infinity is going to be popular. I may have to get one for my daughter.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabnsab Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 I don't even know what that is. Is it like skylanders? Btw, I barely even get those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmck Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Don't know how popular it will be but I saw a Big Hugs Elmo tonight that I thought was super cute. I am going to ask DDIL if she thinks one of the grandbabies would like it. Edited September 1, 2013 by Elmck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they replaced him and things are...uh...A-OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momof3luvs1 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I think Disney Infinty will be huge so thats why I got it already, kid's tablets as well. As far as for the younger ones I think princess Sofia items will be going fast, they are already hard to find. Anything new Monster high will be hot as well.

shopping4my3son Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 This whole Disney Infinity thing has me confused. lol From what I'm reading each platform plays a little different. I'm interested in the 3DS versions. I'd like for my kids to be able to share this game. They have a face book page and there seems to be lots of glitches in the games yet. I know TRU has some of the stuff on sale now and a big event planned for 9/7 but I think I'm going to hold off. If there's something wrong with what I purchase I wouldn't know for 4 months and wouldn't be able to return anything then. Plus maybe they'll have the glitches worked out and I'll have time to figure this out. I'm sure this will be on sale again or at least a good deal will come up on Amazon.

djcfunk Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 From what I've seen, the 3DS version of Disney Infinity is extremely different from its console brethren...and not in a good way. There's not enough reviews on metacritic to form a solid opinion, but I would tread lightly. We are absolutely interested in a console version of Infinity though.

starbeck96 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Yes, from what I understand Disney Infinity is similar to the SKylanders (which we do not have). We don't even own a current system of any kind..lol. My boys have a PS2 that they've had for like 8 years..lol. My daughter has a DS lite. I am hoping for some good deals on a PS3 and Xbox 360 (with Kinect) since the new versions are out. My daughter is also wanting a 3DS but I am not sure yet. It will depend on what kind of deals I can find on them. My daughter's birthday is in October and I wish I could get her an Xbox 360 or 3DS for her birthday, but we don't usually spend more than 150.00, usually 100.00. So, I doubt that I will get a good enough deal on either one of those. She is also wanting a bike so I guess we will get her the bike for her birthday and then wait for BF to see what is on sale.

angelbabymommy Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Ok. I have a dumb question about Disney Infinity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjuvers Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Ok. I have a dumb question about Disney Infinity ...if I put one on layaway in Sept while they're still glitches to be worked out and let's say the glitches are worked out by November...when I pick up my layaway will the one I have be "glitch-free" or will I need to swap?? ...again, sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm not very technical, but I think this is something my girls will like. Thanks in advance!! The system you put in is the same one you will get. Your item will physically be placed in a box when you put it in layaway and you will get the same one when you take it out of the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanyon71 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I think some of the big things are going to be the two new consoles coming out. Thats probably going to be on a LOT of kids lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucyismycat Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I have one Big Hugs Elmo for DS2, thinking about getting one for the 3yo. It IS very cute, and I don't even really like Elmo to begin with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovebears65 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I know these not really toys but I think the xbox 1 and PS4 are going to be big. I already preordered the PS4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berry1014 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 We are thinking about getting Disney Infinity for our kids as group gift but not sure which console to get it for as we have both the xbox and the wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogiporkchop Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 DD has taken a sudden interest in Legos. With one itty bitty container she has managed to make three different robots. Now she wants more. DS has been asking for board games, specifically Life. I can't begin to guess what will be hot right now, but they are both into the Vanguard trading card game and I have only been able to find the cards at one store.

pogiporkchop Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 My DD is 10 also. She just wants basic Legos so she can come up with whatever is in that head of hers - robots, cars, tools... I will take a closer look at your suggestion. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take a closer look at your suggestion. Thanks Watch for the Wal-Mart BF Ad. The past 2 years they have sold large boxes of basic bricks at a great price. They are all standard bricks & slopes, so the "detail" for things like cars can be lacking. But a great way to build the fundamental inventory.

Scott Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Nobody thinks the PS4 or Xbox One? Or are those not considered "toys"? Both are expected to be released at the end of November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats probably going to be on a LOT of kids lists.We have a WII, a PS3, and an Xbox360. Neither of my kids is clamoring for a new console. In fact, both are asking for desktop computers.

bpr Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) I don't think the consoles are going to 'fly-off the shelves' like they did in the past. Lots of pre-orders for these, so those people will get theirs and there will probably be more to go around. Wii U is a good example, but then again, Wii U only upgraded to PS3 and 360 status .

tsjbenny Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 My 13 year old daughter wants a desktop also. I don't know why when she has a laptop, ipod, and ipad.Probably will get the desktop and a really nice printer for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmck Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Took DD and my nephew to TRU today. She got to make a bracelet out of these little rubber bands. It is called Shimmer and Sparkle crazy Loom ( I think). She really liked it and when we went to the park 2 girls asked if she had made it with the Loom. I have a feeling its going to be popular but not for long. We also really liked the new NERF guns for girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
