    My requests so far are

    14 year old boy - Xbox 360
    12 year girl - Ipod
    11 year boy - Robosapian
    8 year girl - Fisher price My Baby doll & Bike
    5 year boy - Spiderman Robot & Bike

    I do think cube world will do well again and yes the rubbiks are back.



    Regarding the robosapien,
    I bought one of these for my 10yo last xmas, (well I got one for the 14yo as well after he had seen it), and I reckon each one has been played with 10 times at the very most, they have just been sat on a shelf, they arequite amusing and fun, but children quickly get bored of them (well if they are anything like mine they do)

    i think powerisers could potentially be huge. Now the price has come down on them, all they need is for argos to stock them and a tv advert (pretty much a dead cert.) and they will fly out. Tesco direct are already stocking them aswell! and for £130. i believe.

    my nieces and nephews liked the look of these but they seem very expensive ! have made a concerted effort to avoid my own daughter seeing them as she already has the ability to jump 6 ft in the air aided by mere cola and hazlenut spread! £130 is expensive enough without figuring in the cost of deisel to and from the local casualty department . you have been warned !!:rotfl:

    The wii is rumoured to be in short supply again this xmas. I think that was the one thing which seemed to fly off the shelves last year.

    They have some HSM books in Tesco for a very reasonable price.

    This is already unavailable in most places, as soon as they are in stock they sell out straight away. I tried loads of shops and couldnt get it, eventually have one on order from Boots.
    Last year it was the Nintendo DS Lite but this year they have many on the shelves.
    So yes, I think this years best seller will be the Wii system (for older kids).
