Well! Your kids don't have any toys left, do they? Because now that you've thrown away all their Thomas trains, their lead-coated Dora crap, and they're tired of playing with Lead-Poison Barbie, there's like nothing left in the toybox anymore, is there? Which is actually a brilliant marketing ploy conspiracy that was master-minded by the toy companies selling the hot properties in what is promising to be a record-breaking toy sales year.
Why should you be left out of the consumerist fun? Here's the "Fabulous Fifteen" Toys of the Year according to Toys 'R Us:
* Aqua Dots Super Studio from Spin Master
* Clickstart My First Computer from LeapFrog
* Daisy Pocket Mod from Razor (I have no idea what this is)
* EyeClops from Jakks Pacific
* GeoTrax Rail & Road System from Mattel's Fisher-Price
* Grand Walk-In Kitchen from Step 2
* Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock Game from Activision
* Hannah Montana In Concert Collection Doll from Play Along (the 'I'm pure" version)
* Made for Me MP3 Music Player from Hasbro's Playskool
* Monopoly: Boutique Edition from Hasbro
* Shining Stars from Russ Berrie & Co
* Smart Cycle from Mattel's Fisher-Price
* T.M.X. Friends from Mattel's Fisher-Price (or this)
