Archived Top Toys 2018

[Llamanatee]

I didn’t see any postings in reference to the must have/hot items for children this year. If I overlooked it, please forgive me. Since I’m on leave and when I visit Target I go nowhere near toys, I have no idea what the tops toys that little Timmy and Jane must have this year are.

Please fill me in! Stories about said toys are welcome.

Hoping I don’t hear about Funko Pops 100+ times.

So far there doesn't seem to be any "must have toys." Even the people I know who are in the toy business aren't even seeing anything "hot" at all. Maybe...just maybe there won't be such an item his year.

Or everyone will want it at the last minute and it’ll be something that just sat on the shelf up until that point.

Someone asked me about that thing right before I went on leave. I didn't get to see what it looked like because we were out once I found the spot for it.

That unicorn, the Hogwarts Express LEGO set, the giant LOL pack, and some of the Fur Real Scruffaluvs are what I’ve been asked about most while working toys.

 

[oath2order]

It'll be collector garbage. LOL and Funko.

Poopsie Slime Surprise Unicorn ? I had to google to find that name.

OMG. watching a YouTube unboxing video.

WTF.

The comments under the You Tube video are distressing. They all think a plastic unicorn that poops slime is "cute."

:weeps for society:

Youtuber Ryans world giant surprise egg.

 

[can't touch this]

I'm guessingit will be that stupid LOL shit, those things creep me tf out so im just bracing for it at this point

It seems that in retail theres always that ONE annoying product thats so popular for no reason and basically exists to make me miserable,when I was at WallyWorld it was the Wii, now at Target it was Hatchimals in 2016 and Fingerlings 2017, please make it stop

I need to check out the videos.


I don't understand children's obsession with feces.

Shit isn't cute. It's shit.

What. the. f.......?
I've had science projects that were less complicated than feeding a unicorn.
Be prepared for lots of returns of constipated unicorns because the directions were ignored.

What kid young enough to want this thing would be able to understand and perform this process by themselves? Sounds like $50 worth of PITA to me.🙄

 

[CoolLife24]

At my store they have red signs that say top toy and of course anything collectors buy

This is one of those toys that gets used once and then forgotten about or either not bothered because it’s too much work for the child.

 

[Dead and Khaki]

That...that CAN'T have been intended for children. Just saying.

 

[GoodyNN]

Suddenly I'm very glad my children are too old for toys and I don't have grandchildren yet.

"One packet of unicorn shimmer"

I swear to god I thought she was about to say "unicorn shit"

 

[dannyy315]

Someone asked me for the poopsie slime unicorn without me hearing about it, and I thought they were pulling a prank on me. What a bizarre name for a toy.

 

[Black Sheep 214]

I saw a game at another retailer today called “Pull My Finger”. You guessed it, it’s a children’s game about farting. You pull the monkey’s finger and his butt swells up until he farts. Just as disgusting as the pooping unicorn, you don’t need a degree in chemical engineering to play it, and it costs a lot less than $50.🙊🙄😂

With a house full of boys, I NEED this game!

It was at Beds, Bath and Beyond!😂

We do have a different farting game. Pass The Gas or something like that. We also have a toilet game. Kids flush the toilet and the one who it backs up on is the loser. We have classy kids games.

Those Molang pop things look pretty phallic, too. Even worse, you have to unwrap them and push them up in order to get the mystery contents inside. What exactly are we trying to teach kids?
