Hello everyone. Christmas is approaching and we are actively starting to hunt down who has the top toys already!

In these times of economic upheaval, it couldn't be a better time to look for bargains on the web.

We have just added the expected big sellers this Christmas, with links to a whole bunch of onlien suppliers. Already we can see some out of stock signs starting to show... If the credit crunch means that ships can't sail, then it might get increasingly difficult to find retailers with the toys you want.

There are also differences in prices starting to appear as retailers need to shift stock.

If there are suggestions for any other toys you feel we should cover, then please just post here and let us know!

The full list of toys we are covering is here: Top Toys Christmas 2008.

We have now added the ability to add a review onto the products. If you have one of these toys, then please feel free to add a small review and your personal rating of the product.

thankyou for the updates - i used your site last year to find some things that had sold out (Iggle Piggle!) I'm a bit more prepared this year, so hopefully it won;t be a problem finding things :-)

Thank you for the details. I need to find out about that Upsy Daisy bed toy - my 4 year old has seen a picture and won't stop talking about it! Have you got one? Can you tell us what it's like?

We haven't got one yet - but we will hopefully have access to one in the near future. We will give you our considered opinion of it, courtesy of our (variously aged!) testing team.

thank you. can you do a page we can print off and take with us when we go shopping so we can check prices in the shops and make sure we aren't paying over the odds?

That's a very good idea... We'll see what we can do.

OK, here we go - a sheet you can print off and take with you to check the prices whilst you're out and about:

We have tweaked the layout to work across more printers, so that it should be better now. We've just come back from an expedition where this list came in very useful...
