    Oh well - Roboraptor is in the top 12, and I've managed to preorder one of them AND a Robosapien V2 with 10% off plus free remote control inflatable robot from Boystuff :T

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Was in my one of the local toystores today and some of these items are flying off the shelves already. I'm hoping to get some of the kids things from Argos as I can get 10%+ discount with the Argos Energyplus points.

    What's everyone after for Christmas for their kids, themselves anyway? I've seen some years where the toys which are marked down as being the top ten must haves for Christmas aren't always the top ten, they figure in the list but the most sought after toy at times has been something else. My kids are after Batman stuff, lightsaber and my little one wants a bike. Here are some other links re top toys for Christmas.

    The Roboraptor is supposed to be a top, top toy for Christmas. I've seen it is £89.99 at Argos, with energyplus points you would get 10% off so £80.99. May be other online discount codes too.
