Top selling Christmas toys 2016: Star Wars-themed items and Lego expected to feature STAR WARS, Lego and Nerf blasters are among the predicted top selling toys this Christmas, according to some of the UK's biggest retailers. PAThe Toy Retailers Association (TRA) said a mixture of well-loved brands and increasingly popular collectable ranges dominated its annual DreamToys list of predicted top sellers. The £60 Nerf N-Strike Elite Hyperfire foam dart blaster, £90 Hot Wheels Ultimate Garage and the £100 Thomas & Friends TrackMaster Sky-High Bridge Jump are among the most expensive toys on the list. Lego's £70 Star Wars Rebel U-Wing Fighter and £90 Friends Amusement Park Roller Coaster also make the list, as does the £40 Paw Patrol Air Patroller. The recently launched £60 Hatchimals and £50 “no mess” Snuggles My Dream Puppy are predicted to be big sellers, as is the Shopkins Chef Club Hot Spot Kitchen, all highlighting collectibles as a driving force for the toy market, the TRA said.
The £20 SelfieMic, which features an adjustable selfie stick with karaoke microphone and allows users to create their own music videos, and the family games Speak Out and Silly Sausage, round out the top 12. PAPAThe list is decided by a panel of leading toy retailers in the UK including Argos, Boots, Selfridges, Smyths Toys, The Entertainer, TK Maxx and Toys R US. It's great to see that, in these uncertain times, this is a very affordable DreamToys list DreamToys selection committee chairman Gary Grant said: “The one unifying thing that I see in the DreamToys selection this year is a sense of real family fun at the heart of many of the toys represented. “It's also great to see that, in these uncertain times, this is a very affordable DreamToys list.“ PAPAFrederique Tutt, toy industry analyst for The NPD Group, said: “Analysis of the top selling toys this year shows the sheer variety of concepts driving the sector - from low-priced collectables to entertainment-driven hot toys. “
We're forecasting a very merry Christmas for the toy industry - expecting annual sales to reach 400 million toys for the first time ever which will potentially see the industry achieve an all-time record high in 2016, going over the £3.3 billion mark.” - 2 months 6 days ago The second last mission of the story, The Finale has you playing as Poe while attacking Starkiller Base, and as Finn and Rey as they deal with Kylo Ren. The mission begins with you playing as Poe, flying his X-Wing. The first thing you should do is fly around looking for a Race Beacon. Once you find it, fly through it and complete the race to get a Mini Kit. Once you have the Mini Kit, start blasting away at TIE Fighters. You'll need to kill several before you're allowed to progress. Next up is a trench run. While in there, keep the trigger held down so you blast apart anything in your way. Keep an eye out for the green turrets though. Kill 5 of them and you'll get a Mini Kit. Continue along the trench, blasting apart anything you see.
This section lasts for quite a while, so do your best to avoid the enemies and stay alive, as each death will cost you Studs. Eventually, you will cut right into a smaller pipe. Keep an eye out for the rings of Studs. Inside one is your next Mini Kit. After the trench, you will be in a circular room. All you need to do here is shoot the huge red pipes that go past. Keep an eye out for the First Order emblems though. There are three, and if you shoot all three, you will get a Mini Kit. Don't worry, if you miss one of the emblems, it will come back around after a few seconds! After the pipes are all destroyed, you will move on to the next part of the mission. The next part has you fighting Kylo Ren. Before doing anything as Finn, switch to Rey. Smash everything up here and you'll make a snowman and get a 1/3 counter. Freeplay: Return to this area with someone who can melt ice, like the Flametrooper. Melt the block of ice here, then switch to Admiral Ackbar. Jump in the water and you will obtain a Mini Kit.
The first part is pretty straightforward. Run around avoiding him, until he leaps at you and a button prompt appears. Hit it, then slash at him to deal damage. Repeat this a few times until Finn is held by the force. Switch to Rey, and deal with any Stormtroopers. Head right as far as you can, and you'll find some stuff to smash. Do so, then build the left object, which is a gun to shoot Kylo. It will switch you back to Rey automatically, but don't stay as him. Switch back to Rey. Right beside the gun you built are some bricks. Build them into a snowman to get a 2/3 counter. Now return to being Finn. Back as Finn, fight with Kylo some more before you lose your lightsaber. Rey will pick it up, and a new fight begins. This time, switch to Finn who will be up top. There will be some trees up here, so shake the left one with the grapple hook to get a Mini Kit. Just make sure you switch back to Rey to pick it up! Behind the second tree is a switch. When you hit it, it will trigger a special event.
Tuck up against the wall beside the switch and go into cover shooter mode. Wait patiently, and you will see droids float up and appear. Shoot enough of them, and a Mini Kit will appear. With those two Mini Kits obtained, switch back to Rey and duke it out with Kylo. The fight isn't much different than before, so simply wait for him to lunge at you, then attack him. After a few cycles of this, Kylo will grab Rey. Switch to Finn and shake the second tree to cause snow to fall and distract Kylo. Now that you have control of both people, push the giant rock on the right out of your way. The terrain will shake and you two will be split up. Simply head right along the path available to you until both characters are together. Before climbing up the wall, head to the south part of the ledge. There is a tough to see stone pillar you can jump on, as demonstrated below. Jump to it as Finn, and follow the path. Go through the gas to get a Mini Kit. Head back and climb up top. Go right immediately and smash everything.
