There have been many noteworthy events in 2014 which we will think back to in the coming years, but the onset of the "loom band craze" will definitely be one memory that will stay with us. My kids have been absolutely besotted with them, making all kinds of arm bands, dog collars and many other interesting items.

This set has been one of the top sellers during the period leading up to the 2014 holiday season. It has received raving reviews. It is an absolute winner, so much so that just had to make this the number ONE for ages 3 and up.

Mattel's Hot Wheels 2014 models - Still the Best Toys for Boys! Over the past 45 years Hot Wheels have become synonymous with quality die cast cars for boys.

Barbie has moved into her new Dreamhouse. This house has got everything Barbie needs to entertain and invite Ken over.

The Lego Movie, released in early 2014 has been a big hit and has become the first movie in 2014 to earn over $400 million at the Box Office. Lego has released a range of sets based on the movie.

The Melting Room is one of the sets that has been released. The set includes three figures, namely Emmet, Wyldstyle and a Robo SWAT character. It also includes various weapons.

There is possibly only one winner!

The winner in my opinion is Lego! Lego has been the toy of choice for generations. Since the company was founded in Denmark in 1949, Lego has through ingenuity manage to be at the forefront of toy trends. The company has, in my opinion, always stuck to their basic recipe for success - keep it simple and stay ahead of the opposition. Lego had to pull the rabbit out of the hat a couple times to ensure they keep their competitive edge. This they did by forming various partnerships with media companies etc. to allow them to use movies etc. as subjects for new ranges of sets.

The current favorite themes are: Star Wars, The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.

1. The Lego Movie Theme - Trending Now.
2. Star Wars
3. Minecraft
4. The Hobbit
5. The Lord of the Rings
6. The Lone Ranger!

Minecraft, the game that is making waves in the gaming market has now also made its arrival on the LEGO front. The game originally developed by Swedish developer Markus Persson has become quite an enigma. The game play revolves around building structures out of 3D cubes in virtual computerized world.

LEGO has linked to this idea and has created Minecraft inspired set that will really challenge your child. This set has in my opinion got a very good educational aspect as well.

This will make for a good present for any Minecraft fan - Young and Old!

This set has been in the news during April 2013, due to complains from the Turkish community in Austria complaining that the palace looks very much like a the Hagia Sophia mosque in Istanbul and that the villains have got an uncanny Middle Eastern resemblance. This complaint should rather have been laid in front of the door of Lucas Films, as Lego has just accurately reproduced the characters from the movie.

Lego has announced that they are ending the production of the set at the end of 2013 due to the fact that it has reached its end of product lifecycle, NOT because of the complaints.

This is a very good buy if you are a Jabba fan!
