We've been asked by Hasbro to find 20 MNers to try out their top 10 bestselling toys and games with their family (2 families per toy). We're looking for folks who are not only willing to try the toy but who are also happy to record a short video review with their child(ren) playing with the toy or game and to add feedback about it to a thread on Mumsnet. There are 10 toys/games to choose from:

Playskool Elefun Busy Ball Popper (minimum age 12 months) RRP £29.99

Sesame Street Let's Rock Elmo (Not in the shops till the 19th September, so this is a chance to get it first!) RRP £69.99

Littlest Pet Shop Tree house Playset RRP £44.99

FurReal Friends Cookie My Playful Pup RRP £74.99

Transformers 3 Ultimate Optimus Prime RRP £79.99

Star Wars Ultimate Force Lightsaber RRP £39.99

Nerf Vortex Nitron (Not in shops till 10th September, so this is a chance to get it first!) RRP £44.99

Bop It XT RRP £26.99

Simon Flash RRP £26.99

Monopoly Electronic Banking RRP £27.99

You need to be willing to video your child playing with the toy. These videos will be used on Hasbro websites and possibly on some retailer websites (e.g. Argos). As a thank you for giving video feedback you will get to keep the video camera (Vivitar DVR 610) and 4GB memory card (RRP £50) that Hasbro will supply you with. If selected, you will be advised about filming requirements and how to upload the footage to Hasbro. All testers will also be required to give written feedback on Mumsnet on a thread.

The toys will be sent out w/c 15th August and you'd need to submit your video by Wednesday 31st August. We'd like to gather your written feedback on a thread on Mumsnet shortly after (w/c 5th September).

If selected you will be sent the toy which will be yours to keep. If you aren't selected please do look out for the feedback thread as we'll be opening this up to all MNers to add their own reviews of any Hasbro toy or game their child is currently playing with. Everyone who does so will be entered into a draw where one winner will receive a £250 high street voucher.

Many thanks

Is this open to MNers outside of the uk?

MrsChemist · 03/08/2011 20:43

Done Smile

Would have loved the Monopoly for me, but I don't think it's really believable that a very nearly two year old would want to play Monopoly.

MrsChemist · 03/08/2011 20:44

Oh yes, I put that DS was two on the form, but he's one. He'll be two in a few weeks, so thought it best to put two instead.

lisad123 · 03/08/2011 20:46

Done, I really hope dd1 gets the furreal puppy shes obbessive about those things!

loopy9 · 03/08/2011 20:58

Done too....

summerpixie · 03/08/2011 21:16

Done. Ds is transformer crazy!

Saucepanman · 03/08/2011 21:26

Done! Smile

hermionestranger · 03/08/2011 21:31

done! DS1 is transformers mad and thinks star wars is amazing too! Ooh excited!

Dysgu · 03/08/2011 22:33

Done - although I was wondering whether you get to keep the toy as well as the video camera? DD1 would REALLY love the FurReal puppy but it would be dreadful to have to send him back! She is likely to fall in love with him if she is lucky enough to test him - otherwise he has to sit on her Christmas list instead!

LawrieMarlow · 03/08/2011 23:08

Dysgu on the OP it says the toy will be yours to keep :)

AnnMumsnet · 03/08/2011 23:09

rumpleteaser - sorry UK only
Dysgu - I'll double check but almost certainly!

LittleFriendSusan · 03/08/2011 23:57

Done - keeping everything crossed! Shame we could only select 2 toys as would have been happy to trial any of the last 6!

rockinhippy · 04/08/2011 00:17

Done - Fingers crossed here too - DD loves monopoly, so an electronic one would be a dream to for her

supergreenuk · 04/08/2011 07:26

Hi mumsnet. Just to confirm re second choice. Regarding age can you change it to the ball popper. She is nearly 2 so leave choice 1. I will have to take my chances.

ThePosieParker · 04/08/2011 08:24

Wow, another great give away product test from MN!!!! Done it Smile

MumToTheBoy · 04/08/2011 08:33

Done

AnnMumsnet · 04/08/2011 08:52

supergreenuk - duly amended, no problem!

AnnMumsnet · 04/08/2011 09:08

And yes you get to keep the toy Smile

supergreenuk · 04/08/2011 09:15

Thanks Ann

cosysocks · 04/08/2011 09:23

Done

gorionine · 04/08/2011 10:22

Greedypiggy · 04/08/2011 10:28

Done, hope i'll get one this time at least!

JiltedJohnsJulie · 04/08/2011 11:02

Done, although I can't seem to see the box where I mention how devastingly gorgeous my DC will be in the videos Grin

MonsterBookOfTysons · 04/08/2011 11:25
