Interesting list. The Kevin Levin car has been panned really really badly which is a shame as my son would give his right arm for a Ben 10 vehicle and I refuse to buy something that has 15 reviews all giving it 1 star!

So easy to get sucked in like the hamsters poster said, but a bit suprised by some of the predictions. I bet Stinky the dancing truck is a sell out tho!!!

so do you think by buying a few, hold on to them and you will get a better return near xmas.

Yes, great plan, make a few quid by holding desperate parents to ransom, safe in the knowledge that you will get your pound of flesh because they won't want to disappoint their kids. Bravo.

The car is rubbish, my son begged for it for not the christmas gone but the one before (so its quite old too oddly)..he played with it once and its been in a box since..waste of money..saying that i may throw his on ebay if everyones going to want one lol

Apologies - I was just trying to help someone.
My son will be pleased with his Buzz Lightyear anyway. x

Apologies, I was not trying to offend you, I was trying to point out that this is what Woolworths tell you are going to be the top toys as this is what they sell and they want you to buy them. Which is not really the same thing to be fair.

Buzz is timeless, he was available 15 years ago and he will still be available in another 15 years time at Disney. They just added a few extra 'gadgets' to make people pay more (sorry, that is true, though) and more sellable because .

About 3 years ago I bought the little Remote Control Car that they ride on when they are trying to get back into the lorry (whats his name? LOL) from Disney, it was £12, now they put the price up as a new movie has come out.

However, if you want to be SURE you can get one at Xmas then get it now. I remember the 1st time Buzz was on sale many trillions of moons ago and people were queueing at Toys R Us overnight to get their hands on them when the deliveries came in as he was so sought after. I am not sure there will be the same problem this year though and this is why he is for sale so early on in the year.

Any 'sought after' item will be on sale around October, poeple will buy it like crazy and they will sell out in November. It is what always happens.

This has already gone up to £39.99 in Argos!!!

Asda have it for £37 at the moment. Got one for my son for Christmas - Just in case it is 'the' toy to have and I can't get one nearer the time. now the film has been released I am sure they will be really popular.

Just to let you know that Toy Story 3 toys are now on 3 for 2 at ARGOS. The offer is in store only, but you can reserve them on line and when you pay in store the discount will be applied.

I have just ordered a couple of things to put away for my boys for Christmas. They love toy story and I would rather get things early "just incase"!
