Argos Announce 2008 Top Christmas Toys
The UK’s number one toy retailer, Argos announced its the top ten toys for 2008 back in July.
As well as being an all-time favourite, Lego, which is 50 years old this year, also appears in Argos’ top ten toys for 2008, along with a host of more high-tech choices. These include a waterproof digital camera, a light and sound gadget watch, digital makeover system and electronic touch-and-talk reading device, are all expected to be high on the modern kid’s Christmas list.
Ian Chaplin, Toys Trading Manager for Argos said: “A key toy trend for winter 2008 is high-tech, with the strong emergence of electronic and gaming toys. But, there is also a revitalisation of classics like Lego and Rubik’s Cube, and with kids growing up fast these traditional classics will always be important in offering parents a balance of traditional and modern toys for their children.”
A couple of classics remain popular with Lego and the Rubik’s Cube featuring in both this year’s top ten and in the top toys over the last 35 years. Toys from well-known films and TV shows such as High School Musical, In the Night Garden, Star Wars and Ben 10 are also featured in this year’s favourites.
