DROPMIX Music Gaming System
DROPMIX is a dynamic, fast-paced music-mixing game that uses powerful technology to give players a new way to create surprising music mixes while competing and connecting with friends. The board reads up to five DROPMIX NFC chip-enabled cards, and the proprietary software in the app seamlessly combines music within each card to create a unique mix.

HEXBUG BattleBots Arena
Inspired by television’s favorite robot showdown comes HEXBUG Battlebots – mini robot-fighting toy replicas! Grab your remote-control and enter the Battle Arena with Tombstone, Bite Force, Minotaur or Beta. Detachable armor allows you to see the damage of every hit. The Arena presents the perfect stage for every battle.

Klask
Klask is a unique, fast-paced magnetic game of skill. Players must use the magnetic handles under the board to control their playing pieces. The object of the game is to hit the ball into your opponent’s goal without attracting the white magnets or landing in your own hole!

Lightseekers Starter Pack
Lightseekers smart action figures deliver real-time two-way interaction between your hero and the game. They talk, vibrate, and use different colored lights to show status and to help guide gameplay. The powerful mini-computer, known as the FusionCore, is embedded within each action figure and is the “brains” behind the smart connected toy. This allows the figure to act as the controller for two-way communication between the figure and the adventure packed role play game. Players can take their experience to another level, adding physical accessories to their figures to customize their gameplay.
