Toys are an essential part of the holidays. Every kid loves toys—every adult too! Some toys are destined to become a favourite, something that will live on in a person’s memory for their whole life. This is especially true with this year’s new toys. There were many, many absolutely amazing toys released this year. I’ve been able to see and “test” them all. Unfortunately, most people will only get to enjoy one or two, if they are lucky. Enter this contest and you might be really lucky and win a huge bundle of the newest toys. In fact, this may be the biggest toy contest you’ve ever seen!
For most of us, some of our happiest memories involve the great toys we knew as children. My favourite was the Ready Ranger Adventure kit. It had a periscope for spying, a communication tube, and many little compartments and fake dials that stimulated a young boy’s imagination. My brother’s and I all wanted it, after seeing the television commercials, and though my older brother was fortunate to get it, we all played together with it for hours and hours.
As Editor-in-Chief at Best Buy I see how people react to all of the big tech announcements. Even with all the great new tech that came out this year, people I meet are just as interested in the new toys on my desk as they are about the new smart watches or laptops.
This year there were new Sphero smart toys, the new Parrot drones, and new Meccano robots. Of course, the most exciting toys were based on movies. Check out the great reviews we posted about the Jurassic Park robot dinosaur, or the many new Star Wars toys.
Best Buy has all of these toys, and many more. They have toys for all ages: toys for babies, toys for young children and toys that will make any adult feel like a child! We are giving away a huge selection of these toys in this contest. I think this could be the best toy contest I’ve ever seen.
Here are the four prize bundles to be won.

My favourite Christmas gift ever was a life size doll I got when I was 5. Before I even got to play with her my older brothers, (I had 6 of them) broke her leg. Mom kept her in the box beside her dresser for as many years as I can remember. I would sneak into her bedroom just to take a peak at her. Mom would always tell me to leave her alone as she was going to get her fixed. It never happened and to this day, I have no idea what happened to her.
My favorite toy was my Barbie and I enjoyed sewing outfits for her and creating furniture out of leftover bits of wood and cardboard.
