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:

  1. I think the coolest tech toy available is the Code-a-pillar.I have 2 baby boys and would love to win this or something equally awesome from you.
    As a kid the coolest tech toy I received was a Walkman. Music you could take to go in something “so small”.
    I feel old now.

  3. The coolest tech toy available at Best Buy is definitely the drones! I’d love to be able to fly it above the trees or the ocean with a camera and feel like I’m flying.

  9. Sphero BB 8 App Assisted Drone and the 3D pen I would say are the coolest tech toys my kids would love and yes me too!

  11. Showing my age a little a bit, but my favourite tech toy as a child was the Atari VCS 2600! My first video game system! Have so many awesome memories of my Grandfather and I walking the mile or so to the nearest video store that rented Atari Cartidges. Of course the graphic were awful by today’s standards but boy it was like having an arcade at home at the time!

  13. I would say that I didn’t received any toys when I was younger because my family is only poor and my dad can’t afford to buy any of those stuff for me and another reason is because we are a family of 9 so I understand that situation.

  15. the best tech toy i had as a child was the nintendo. the best tech 2016 would be the robots. my three year old boy would be fascinated to play with any of these toys. they look very interesting…

  32. Sphero SPRK is so popular amongst students. I would love to see WowWee Chip robotic dog! This ages me but my first tech experience had to the Simon Says electronic game. #lovemakerspace

  35. Probably the coolest prize you are giving away is the 4k drone. There is a lot of dune to be had with that.
