Best Kids Toys 12-15 Years of Age - 2008 & 2009

There are so many toys and games available these days, it's hard to know which ones will be a hit with kids and teens, and which ones will not. Well, here are some really great picks for the early teens out there - the Best Kids Toys 12-15 Years of Age - 2008 & 2009!

Take your Guitar Hero game on the road! The songs on this game are more limited, but it still gives tons of fun for 12-15 year olds (and older too!).

One of the best parts about the Guitar Hero Carabiner Game is it's price. It doesn't cost too much - retail price is around $15.00, and you can often buy it for less.

Cool stuff - and the top best-seller for toys 12-15 years of age for 2008. 

The Battle Arena and the Starter Packs are sold separately, but are a toss-up on the #2 position in the list of Best Kids Toys 12-15 Years of Age - they're both extremely popular, and will likely to remain so!

Bakugan toys have become extremely popular in 2008 (especially for boys), and will continue to be hot items in '09.

Retail cost of the SpinMaster Bakugan Battle Arena is around $30.00 and the Starter Packs go for around $16 retail. (Both toys can often be purchased for less.) 

The Lego City - Town Plan set comes in at the #3 position of the Best Kids Toys 12-15 Years of Age 2008/2009.

This set is making a comeback from 1950, and has been re-released in celebration of "Lego Bricks" 50th anniversary.

The city even looks "retro" - based on a town in the 1950's.

Very fun, and creative for not only young teens, but older teens and adults too!

Retail price for the Lego City - Town Plan is around $150.00.

SpinMaster has really had a big year in 2008 with their cool toys for kids! The 2nd SpinMaster toy on the list of Best Kids Toys 12-15 Years of Age - taking the #4 position.

SpinMaster Air Hogs Havoc Heli toys are small but very precise R/C helicopters that kids and adults alike love to play with! Use the heli's solo, or play in contest with a group.

They can fly up to 100 feet, and have a flashing LED light for flying at night. :)

Retail price is around $30 per heli, but sometimes is priced lower at certain resources online.

(Very) high technology is combined with classic Lego building with the Mindstorms NXT from Lego.

The NXT is responsive to various touch, light and sound messages, and is a very nice choice in toys for 12-15 year olds who are interested in robots and technology.

The Mindstorms NXT robot is priced at around $250.00.
