Hot List For 2017 At Toys R Us Includes Very Little Geeky Things

Hot List, the annual list of holiday toys everyone will want if you are a kid (or lets be real, and adult) from Toys R Us came out this morning, and as usual, it features an eclectic mix of products. What always cracks me up about this list is that they make sure to include TRU exclusives on the list, even if they do not seem to be ones that every person would really want. Hey, it is their list. Weirdly, there is not a lot of geeky stuff on this list. What they did choose if pretty cool, but there is not a ton. Oh well, let's take a look.

Coco Interactive Guitar from Mattel

This one is no surprise, it is the main plot device in a Pixar film, so there is no reason not to expect this one to be tough to get.

Coco, the new animated film from Disney/Pixar, is a celebration of a lifetime, where the discovery of a generations-old mystery leads to a most extraordinary and surprising family reunion. Miguel dreams of becoming a musician, and practice makes perfect! Now you can bring to life the beautiful music straight from the film. The interactive guitar allows kids to learn the most iconic song from Coco, "Remember Me," and features strummable "strings," working lights and true-to-movie details. And the guitar neck is topped by a super cool skull that chomps when you press the first chord button! This guitar also comes with sheet music so you can learn additional songs and become the musician you always dreamed of. A great gift for fans of Disney/Pixar's Coco!

Power Rangers Ninja Steel Lion Fire Fortress Zord 20 Inch Action Figure

I am not current on my Power Rangers series or toys, but I can tell oyu this stuff flies off the shelf. This one is a TRU exclusive as well.

The time to save the world is now, and with the Power Rangers Ninja Steel 3-in-1 Lion Fire Fortress Zord Playset, you can help your favorite Rangers take down nefarious villains, including Galvanax. More than 2' long in Fortress mode and over 20" tall in Megazord mode, this playset has big adventures in store. Place a compatible Power Rangers Action Hero figure (sold separately) in the lion mouth cockpit in Megazord mode to storm onto the battle field. In Fortress mode, you can fire at enemies with the twin firing cannons and lock up villain figures in the jail cell. And with the addition of a DX Megazord (sold separately), you can activate Ultra Megazord mode to deal a serious blow. To bring imagination to life, 20 sound effects accompany every mode for added fun.

Star Wars Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder(TM) by Radio Flyer 40th Anniversary Edition

This is by far the coolest thing on the market right now. If they made this for adults I would buy it and ride around everywhere. Man I wish I was a kid again. For $500 this would have been five Christmases in a row for me, but it would have been worth it.

Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder(TM) by Radio Flyer is modeled after the sand-pocked and sun-faded X-34 craft from Star Wars: A New Hope. With seats for 2 riders, an interactive dashboard with lights and real movie sounds, and a 5 miles per hour driving speed, this speeder provides a truly galactic driving experience.

The gear shift switches between 2 miles per hour forward, 5 miles per hour forward, or 2 miles per hour reverse. 12 Volt rechargeable battery and charger included. For ages 4 and up, maximum weight 130 pounds.

This item features Limited Edition 40th Anniversary packaging.

And I think it is hilarious that they include the Nintendo Switch and SNES Classic on here. The Switch has been sold out and tough to get since it launched, I have seen it in a TRU one time. The SNES is even more hilarious, as the preorders are selling out in minutes and when it comes out at the end of the month the stock will be gone in about a nano-second. Have fun waiting in line for that everyone.

The full list is here, feel free to peruse and get the things that are already available now before they sell out and everyone is mad at you for not getting them one.
