"So we're predicting that the LOL Magic Flyers will be part of our top ten. We absolutely love playing with this in the office. So we have a kind of a rigorous selection process. We look at trends in the market, NPD (new product development), we go to toy fairs. So it's we start early in the year kind of selecting these for our customers and we absolutely love the toy. So it's collectable, it's interactive and there are also different play patterns in it."

20. SOUNDBITE: (English) Tim Murray, editor, Toys n Playthings magazine
"You're finding that obviously the character licensed products and it's still huge with things such as Paw Patrol. And obviously the Barbie movie has had a huge effect, I mean Barbie would almost certainly have been in the top ten anyway but the film has just made Barbie even bigger. So character licenses are a key trend. I think blind bags where you don't quite know what you're getting and you're opening something that has a surprise element in it - that's the LOL Magic Flyers. And so I think there is that's one of the key trends as well."

"I think this year's list seems to be a little bit more cost of living conscious than maybe the previous years. I think a lot of retailers are saying to us. I think the key feeling is that parents won't forsake their children at Christmas and we'll go without other things to buy them Christmas presents but I think people are keenly looking at pricing and how much they're going to be spending on toys."
