 Wal-Mart Canada today released the company's eighth annual "top 10" list of the most popular toys in Canada. For the eighth year in a row the retailer has polled its toy buyers and stores nationwide to compile the annual "Wal-Mart" list of toys that Canadians are buying most for the holiday shopping season of 2005.
"In the past five years, the toy industry has really seen a shift toward high-tech toys," said Don Cameron, Wal-Mart's divisional merchandise manager for toys. "This is especially true of the tween/teen market that is looking for youthful versions of adult conveniences. Even young children are turning their focus toward toys featuring electronic components. This trend is certainly reflected in this year's Wal-Mart top 10 list."
