A full 80 days out of Christmas, the iconic Regent Street toy shop has unveiled its top toy picks for the season, including a Star Wars quadcopter that can reach speeds of 35 mph.

Despite the lean however, games for the family still make the bill with as Hamleys champions the 2015 Pie Face sequel, Pieface Showdown alongside Bean Boozled, a game that dares players to eat jelly beans that look the same but vary in flavours from the delightful to the dreadful.
