    Judging by the crowd of small boys around the 'playable' one in ELC at the weekend, the Roary the Racing Car Silver Hatch Race Track will be a big hit.

    It's not got all the features of a scalextrix type track, but for the younger ones, it looks to be one of the sturdiest tracks around, easy to use, and the cars can be played with without the track too.

  • I've heard that the High School Musical stuff in the Disney shops is flying off the shelves. Eg. delivery into the store on Thursday morning, sold by the same afternoon.

    Who knows if there'll be a shortage by Christmas though
    Cos I don't shine if you don't shine.

    Disney Store in the Whiterose Centre (leeds) had plenty of high school musical stock :) As for what will be a big hit not too sure butdd (she will be 22 months) is getting he vtech smartville range. If you look on their website theres a whole village that can be made up and it all interacts with the alphabet train track.

    I think Wiis will still be popular. They seem hard to find this year.

    My kids want -

    16 year old girl - phone for bedroom, laptop, ipod, clothes, make up (must be Dior), Marc Jacobs stam bag, Marc jacobs shoes.
    14 year old boy - dunno, whatever, don't care
    7 year old boy - PSP
    5 year old boy - DS

    I think the boys might get their list but the girl has no chance.

    Not really much cheaper, but no where near as tall.

    Edit: Sprogs getting his computer (built out of our cast-offs) upgraded. That's all he wants.
