Hamleys Predicts Cabbage Patch Kids, Subbuteo and toy Tablets among Christmas wishes in 2012
Contrary to popular belief Christmas does not come earlier every year; 25th December is a firm date in the Gregorian calendar. However, it could be argued, that lists of top Yuletide toys released by big name stores do arrive earlier (although last year Tesco couldn’t even wait until late June) .
Today Hamleys announced its own top ten predictions for 2012 and a “Magnificent Seven” selection of toys that Santa Claus may bring to very lucky children.
A press event called “Christmas in June” was held by Hamleys. Journalists had the opportunity to get close to some toys that have yet to be released in the shops. Meanwhile, outdoors the mercury reached 25 degrees centigrade.
In Hamley’s top 10 predictions: two iPad-style tablet computers were included; a safe bet as the bestselling performance of last year’s InnoTab and LeapPad is expected to be repeated. Also, whether you think they are gross or gorgeous, Monster High is the fashion dolls range on the list. A much anticipated range of LEGO based on The Lord Of The Rings is also represented. Many older brand names also make a return to toy stores this year and Hamleys have faith in the popularity of Cabbage Patch Kids and Subbuteo returning to today’s children.

LeapPad and InnoTab: is there any hope of getting one before Christmas?
There is still some last minute hope for those wishing to buy a VTech Innotab for Christmas, without paying over the odds. LeapPad is much harder to find from well-known retailers, so snap one up quickly from eBay or Amazon, while there is still a chance.
UPDATE 17th December 2011
The chances of getting one from a well known retailer before Christmas, has now become very remote. So, that leaves eBay and Amazon as the best hope.
I’ve just witnessed a LeapPad auction end at £88 (plus P&P) and an InnoTab auction end at £85 (again extra for delivery). A little eBay tip: if you’re looking for a deal, select “Time: Ending Soonest” on the “Sort by” menu button that appears on the right hand side of the screen above the product list. John.

At this very moment, John Lewis and The Entertainer have the InnoTab in stock online for home delivery. eBay prices of VTech’s iPad-style tablet computer for children are not too expensive, Please note, that the pink version is exclusive to Argos in Britain, so if you cannot get it at the catalogue store then it maybe worth buying from eBay as soon as possible.
LeapPad prices are higher on auction sites and from third party sellers, however, too many traders have tried to profit on the back of the high demand for this LeapFrog product, so (as I write this) prices are around £100 – £110; and not the double money some of the eBay listers were hoping for.
Good luck in you search for these most want items. I hope your children’s LeapPad and InnoTab Christmas dreams come true.
