Are the days of a single hot toy over? Retailers predict kids tablets, Furby, Nerf and LEGO to be this year's top sellers.
Most of the UK’s top retailers of toys believe that rival kids’ learning tablets LeapPad 2 and InnoTab2 will be among their strong sellers come December 25th.
Out of the predicted top Christmas toys lists we compiled from 11 retailers, most favoured the iPad-style kids devices.
Not far behind with eight listings was Hasbro’s returning interactive pet Furby – previously a must-have Christmas toy in 1998.
Focal Nerf blaster, N-Strike Elite Hail-Fire, got seven votes of confidence from retailers.
In terms of stand-out brands, 12 LEGO products were named, followed by ten from Moshi Monsters.
The results mirror those from last year when most retailers predicted the LeapPad, Nerf and interactive pet offerings from Mattel and Hasbro to be top sellers (ToyNews November 2011).
