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:

  2. Coolest tech toy I got when I was a child was a pedal car that my father put in working headlights. It was the envy of my friends. I was 4 years old in 1949. We were still in England then.

  4. I think the coolest tech toy when I was younger was a horse race game that pitted four horses against each other and they ran around a magnetic track!

  24. The coolest tech toy we received when was a kid would have to be a toss up between my 1st Walkman or my first stereo record player system

  30. the coolest tech toy I received was a digital camera from richo in like 1996 it had less then half a megapixel

  44. Probably the coolest tech I got as a kid was Mattel’s Electronic Baseball. I t looks pretty simple compared to today’s game but it was almost as good as Electronic Football and i was pretty good at it.

  45. I think the coolest gadget will be the Sphero BB-8 App-Enabled Droid with Star Wars Force Band. Anything related ot Star Wars is hot and the tech to make BB-8 work like that is cool.

  48. The coolest Tech toy I had as a kid was the Giga Pet. I loved it so much but the virtual dog was always hungry which sometimes got annoying to have to feed it lol. My favourite part was playing the games with my virtual dog and watching it grow older. It felt almost like having a real pet. Very addictive game. It was my first and last virtual pet. Oh the memories! 🙂
