Toys Games & Hobbies

At just about this time last year, Sphero released an amazing little droid toy to coincide with a little known film called Star Wars: The Force Awakens. If you remember this obscure film, you may also remember that very cool droid toy, named BB-8, which just got a whole lot better thanks to an all-new accessory called Force Band. Click through and read on if you'd like to learn all about one of the most exciting toy developments of 2016. It's the Sphero BB-8 App-Enabled Droid with Star Wars Force Band, and it's placing the power of the Force directly in your control!

With Springtime quickly approaching, you may find yourself looking for ways to encourage the kids to go outside and play and be more active over the next few months. In today's blog, we explore a few great toys that will help them to do just that.

Paw Patrol is a hugely popular TV show for small children so of course there is a huge selection of toys, games and accessories on the market. Kids are going to want to be part of Adventure Bay and play along with Ryder and his pack of pups. Read on for my review of Zoomer Marshall.

I’ve had quite a time with my grubby little mitts behind the (RC) wheel of some very impressive machines. Previously the big boys, E-Maxx and E-Revo got some love and as incredible as those behemoths are, they have themselves a cool kid brother, LaTrax Teton.  A boss little 4WD monster truck, with a lotta gumption for a little guy, LeTrax Teton takes the conventional RC vehicle and leaps over it dramatically, spraying it with dirt and gravel as it leaves it in its dust.

Best Buy has a great selection of pretend play toys, and one that's always popular with the kiddies is play kitchens, like the KidKraft Vintage Toy Kitchen.

Toy season is here and Best Buy has a great selection of STEM toys, many of which we are giving away in this contest.

If you're a fan of the Disney Cars franchise, you're going to love what we've got today! It's the Sphero Ultimate Lightning McQueen, and he's ready to race!

There’s a huge mass of Star Wars geeks out there (myself included) watching every move Disney and J.J Abrams make as a new crop of Star Wars releases draws ever closer. If there’s one thing guaranteed to get the attention of these Star Wars fans, it’s a peek at what Abrams is working on. And if there’s one thing guaranteed to get pop culture geeks in general in a froth, it’s a mash-up between franchises. J.J. Abrams just managed both in one shot with his HUNKA JUNK YouTube clip of the new Millennium Falcon from his forthcoming Star Wars film—with a very unexpected Easter egg.
