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:

  3. Every toy at Best Buy is cool! But the toy that I feel is the coolest for my 10 year old son is the Razor Scooter! Not only does it keep him active but it gives him time outdoors which in today’s world is a challenge. He can keep up with his fellow bikers in the neighbourhood but also coast along when we’re taking my daughter for a walk. Let’s get Scooting!

  9. The coolest toy is the Fisher Price Think & Learn Code-a-Pillar! I mean how amazing is it that something like this exists and will teach small children in an awesome way. I’d love to get one for my daughter this year 🙂

  13. The coolest toy I got was my see through gameboy colour. It was so cool to see all of the game’s components and wires

  15. My cousin would love the Razor Hovertrax 2.0 Electric Hoverboard
    I also love to see that STEM is being incorporated into toys now more these days

  19. The 1st tech toy that I received as a child was an educational robot I think. Alphie maybe? I can’t remember what it was called for sure. But I remember thinking it was the best gift ever.

  24. I think the Meccano Meccasaur is the coolest toy this year, especially for the age group that I am shopping for.

  27. Best tech toy as a child? My Tamogatchi. My little creature went EVERYWHERE with me (to school, at the dinner table, at the babysitters, etc). Some of my fondest childhood memories are of that machine 🙂

  28. While I hate using the suggestion provided in the post, I have to wholeheartedly agree that the greatest tech toy released in 2016 was the BB-8 robot. Not only is it extremely realistic, YOU GET TO HAVE YOUR OWN BB-8! Even now, months later, it’s still extremely popular. It’s definitely my go-to for numerous loved ones this Christmas!

  32. The coolest tech toy I got when I was younger was a talking viewmaster, I think I’m showing my age LOL
