Top Ten Toys for Christmas
Old favourites are again looking to do well this year such as Lego including their new release of Lego board games, Barbie and Rubiks 360 plus movie toys, electronic toys and kid’s digital cameras. However watch out for some new character toys following the launch of this year’s new pre-school TV series Waybuloo where the land of Nara is inhabited by four animated characters called Piplings whose names are Yojojo, De Li, Nok Tok and Lau Lau.
