Great toys hold a special place in our hearts. They create great experiences at the time we play with them. They also leave a treasured memory that we can look back on and smile as we get older. The coolest toys do something a little extra. Really cool toys unite a generation, and sometimes multiple generations. Many of the hottest toys these days are tech toys: robots, drones etc. Which tech toy of 2016 do you think will make the biggest impression in a child’s life, or in your life? Just tell us what you think the coolest toy of 2016 is and you might win a huge trove of the newest toys from Best Buy.

There are over $12000 in toys available to be won!

bb8Every year new toys are released that have the potential to become a child’s special treasure. Best Buy carries many of these. Best Buy also has the greatest selection of tech toys. Last year I fell in love with the Sphero BB-8 App-enabled  Droid. It’s the kind of toy that will resonate in a person’s memories for decades.

(Four of the new special edition version of this droid are included in this contest’s prizes!)

 

You may find it difficult to decide what the coolest toy is this year. It’s not always easy to predict what will be the best toy in a given year, but really there are no wrong answers. For example, I asked my wife which tech toy she remembers as having been really cool when she was young and her answer, the Fisher Price parking garage (shown below), really surprised me! Note that Best Buy carries a Melissa & Doug version of this parking garage. I too had one of those vintage Fisher Price garages when I was young and played with it incessantly. I hadn’t thought about that toy in many years, but just the mention of it brought back a ton of great memories.

Kids nowadays may not view a parking garage as a tech toy given the options that exist. The prizes in this contest contain many of the best tech toys available in 2016. We have divided the more than $12000 in prizes into 6 toys bundles:

  23. For me, the Razor Power Core 90 would be a great way to get around the neighbourhood. It would be an awesome gift.

  24. When I was about 16 my older brother bought us Pong by Atari. Back then, I think that was the ONLY tech toy. I had to think hard about this….hmmm, were there tech toys when I was a kid? The toy I never received but would have loved was Mechano! That was not electronic, but it was technical…

  28. My choice for the coolest tech toy is the Razor Power Core E90 Electric Scooter. It looks like a lot of fun and it gets the kids outside in the fresh air!!

  29. the coolest was the first Nintendo!! we were pretty poor growing up and had a 5 siblings but our parents saved and bought the Nintendo as a family gift for Christmas!! talk about awesome all the kids wanted to play at my house because it wasn’t just the first game for us but it was the first one in our town

  30. A little radio was the coolest tech toy I had as a kid. We didn’t have the cool stuff they have today back then!

  35. The BB-8 is the coolest tech toy right now, for sure! My daughter would love it, at 6 years old she is already a huge Star Wars fan 🙂

  39. Coolest tech toy I had when I was a kid was a very basic electronic football game. I can’t remember what it was called.

  43. The coolest tech toy from my youth was definitely the original Gameboy. Four shades of green, no backlighting, but it was awesome.

  44. The coolest tech toy is the Sphero BB-8 App-enabled Droid ~ hopefully they don’t ask me to show them how it works:))
