Best of Toy Fair Part 1 - Zoobles


Over the next few posts, I'll be highlighting all the best of Toy Fair this year - the things I think will be the hot crazes and must-have-toys of 2011. I'm starting today with Zoobles. They were released by Spinmaster in the US in late 2010, to huge success, and make their United Kingdom debut in January 2011.

Zoobles are little animals, that start out wrapped up in spheres. When placed in their Happitats, they magically spring into life and reveal gorgeous creations with loads to see and do. With already over 150 Zoobles available and many more to come, plus playsets to follow, oh, and an online interactive element to play as well, they look very likely to be one of the smash toy hits of 2011.

To find out more about Zoobles, here's our information page.

Mega Bloks Halo Arrives


We've been watching the Halo Mega Bloks range quietly for some time now, and seen it take off and become something that we simply had to have on our shelves. It's a great combination - Mega Bloks make superb construction toys, compatible with the 'L' word that we never mention at Bus Stop Towers and Halo (in case you live deep underground somewhere) is one of the biggest selling console games of all time.

The Halo Heroes Foil Packs are just the first piece in the jigsaw and there is much more to come - watch this space. Check out our Halo Mega Bloks page on the website.

Yoohoo & Friends - A Surprise Hit


This one caught us by surprise, and its not often we say that. When we brought Yoohoo & Friends in last year, we had no idea they would catch the imagination to the extent that they have. Everyone seems to want one. Unless you already have one, in which case you want two, or three or four.

Yoohoo & Friends are a series of plush toys by Aurora, based on endangered creatures from around the world. They are gorgeous. Anyway. We keep increasing the quantities we bring in, and the number of differnet creatures from the range, and they keep all selling. Maybe we have enought to keep them in stock for a while this time? We'll see.

To check out our full range of Yoohoo & Friends, go here.

Watch out soon, for news of Gogos Crazy Bones Trading Cards...
