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!
Every 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:

I did not really receive many tech toys as a kid. In fact, I can only recall ever getting one – Simon (electronic memory game). My sister got Merlin the same year and we traded back and forth.
The OSMO system is by far the coolest. Anything that makes learning fun is always a winner.
my coolest gift growing up was a telescope!
My wife and I look for toys that can teach, that will expand our grand kids knowledge while still having a fun factor. The OSMO system certainly achieves all that!
For myself technology was somewhat limited in my youth as far as toys ( I’m dating myself here). Personally it was a Meccano set that I found fascinating, your creations were only limited to your imagination, and I always took pride in being able to build those creations.
the drones are so cool!!
This will really show my age, but my favourite tech toy from my own childhood was a ballerina doll with eyes that closed when she was positioned to lie down.
This would be on behalf of my grandchildren, but I think any one of those amazing drones would be the best tech toy for this year.
