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:

  13. The Razor Power Core E90 Electric Scooter is the best toy on the list, and I’d love to win it for my nephew!

  15. The Ultimate Toys are my favorite, I have a great nephew and niece that would love me forever if I could win them for them. Thanks Best Buy

  25. The coolest tech toy you received when you were younger: just before the common age of computers but after the age of typewriters was the electronic typewriter … I thought it was amazing that I could write my school papers on this thing where I could write a whole sentence and check it for errors before it typed it on the page! No more white out! 🙂

  30. I believe the Sphero SPRK+ Robotic Ball to be the coolest toy, and probably would last through plenty of playtime.

  31. What you think is the coolest tech toy available at Best Buy in 2016: Fisher-Price Think & Learn Code-A-Pillar … giving kids a young start in the age of electronics is amazing!

  38. I definitely think the Zoomer dog and dinosaurs are the coolest toys. They are extremely entertaining and love how much they interact with you.

  39. I would say the coolest toy is the android remote bb8. More for me than my son who’s only 3! He loves bb8 though. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  41. I think the coolest tech toy available at Best Buy in 2016 is Parrot Mambo robot drone. It looks like it would be a lot of fun flying this up north to see the countryside from a “birds-eye” view!

  46. Drones just keep getting better. the Parrot Mambo mini drone with camera is great for keeping kids and adults outside playing.
