Its press preview time at the Nuremberg Toy Fair, plenty of stuff we saw in London last week but a few bits these Europeans will likely be sneaking on eBay when they get their shipments ahead of us. So here are a few that caught our eye that are worthpaying the premium for come Spring so you can grab yours first and claim bragging rights in Blighty. From Silverlit a Hot Wheels, RC, construction multi combo that lets you build impressive tracks, race mini RC’s upon them (up to five at a time). These cars do scales speed of about 1000kmh and the controller has a steer button to help you overtake the competition, not so easy at this rate of knots. The Hong Kong toy makers have also let us peek at the HeliCube, it might only be 2 channel but it comes inside an RC box that slips in the top pocket, great gimmick, GYRO stablised too. From Sablon there is an epic new Star Wars range on the way, Science and Spyware stuff including a R2D2 microviewer, Darth Maul 3D show, Snakin 3D glasses and Mustafar volcano explosion experiment plus plenty more…..Oh, and a Millenium Falcon LEGO carrry case, ideal for netbook carrying to work or sarnies for sch. From Micro, the leaders in getting adults on scooters this past 12 months or so with their grown-up designs is one we saw iin prototype last year, The Pedal Flo, excercise, fun and inflatable tyres to tackle all terrain on your commute, early adopters beware of the points and stares! Images of all the above and a few random ones from this most marvelllous of mornings – Thanks to all at Spielwarenmesse, we’ll be back with more throughout the week.
