Review and Video: Parrot’s MiniDrones are becoming an army
Drones can come in all sizes, as Parrot likes to demonstrate with its MiniDrones line of more diminutive gizmos. And now, it seems there’s a small army of them—on land, air and sea. Previous designs have been augmented in various ways to make this new batch of mini robots smarter, sleeker and more precise. I took a few for some testing and found them to be fun for as long as the battery could last. |

Review and Video: DJI Phantom 3 is an elite drone
One of the things about flying a drone is that each flight seems to elicit something new. As drones become more sophisticated, they offer more each time in the air, adding to the payoff of learning and improving as a pilot. The DJI Phantom 3 is built to last, outfitted with some of the latest features any consumer drone can offer. I took it for a test drive for over a week, and shot a short video to go with it. |

I have to say the DJI Phantom 3 is the coolest toy right now.

I loved my Creeple Peeple maker as a kid
I would have to say this would be the coolest thing right now for my grandson but for me as a kid it was anything Holly Hobbie
I think the DJI Phantom 3 drone would be a fantastic gift for my husband. He is still a bit of a kid inside!

The best toy at Best Buy is obviously the Sphero BB-8
My favourite childhood toy was the Millenium Falcon for my Kenner action figures
The best toy that I would like is the Celestron telescope (any one will do now).
And the best toy I ever got was a Spirograph.
The little Disney princess fun would be an awesome gift for my 3-5 year old nieces. When I was younger I couldn’t get enough of my LiteBright …loved it !
My daughter and i looked at all the toys and decided after watching the video that we liked the Parrot’s mini drones the best.
my favorite toy when i was a kid were roller skates
I love Sphero! Even though I’m an adult I would love a Sphero product and think that the Sphero Spark is the best toy on your list, love the inside mechanics.
My favorite childhood toy was the Tyco Psycho remote control vehicle from 1998. Ten year old me begged for an RC car for Christmas and this was the one I got. Unfortunately it wasn’t as durable as one would hope
, but I still loved it.
Love to own the drone to take out in the country and fly it around and take pictures with the camera
I would love the Phantom 3 Drone.. As a kid I was simple. The only toy I wanted was a board game called Trouble..didn’t care for anything else..that Christmas it was under the tree and ironically all of my family played the game… And enjoyed it more than me.. ..lol
Air Hogs Star Wars RC Ultimate Millennium Falcon looks so cool.
There was nothing like this when I was young…..my bike was my favoirute toy
My favourite new toy is the Sooner kitty interactive robot cat.
