We’ve been grinding through the holiday toy catalogs from all of the major U.S. retailers to bring you the bargains, exclusives and deals that make shopping easier, and now we’re at the biggest one of them all: Amazon. Jeff Bezos’ e-commerce juggernaut has become an essential part of the American retail ecosystem, with a selection that boggles the mind. It took us many days to dig through their holiday offerings, but here are our choices for the best deals in Amazon’s toy book.
Funko Pop Deluxe Han Solo With Millennium Falcon
Could this be the most ridiculously over-the-top Funko Pop ever? It certainly has a good argument for it. Han Solo’s big bobble head sticks out of the cockpit of this ridiculously intricate Millennium Falcon replica that measures over a foot long and ten inches wide. You’re definitely going to have to clear out some extra space on your toy shelf to display this bad boy. As we ramp up for Episode 9 and the end of the original nonology (it’s a real word, look it up), Star Wars stuff is going to vanish from stores fast, so get on this one ASAP.

Avengers Endgame Power Gauntlet
Thankfully the Infinity Stones no longer menace the Marvel Cinematic Universe, having been burned out by Thanos’s finger snap (despite the other time travel shenanigans). But if you want to intimidate your co-workers with the power to decimate a universe, pick up this extremely cool replica of the Starktech power glove wielded by the Hulk in the movie. The Power Gauntlet has pulsating light effects inside the six stones, movie-accurate sound effects and the fingers can extend or be locked in a closed fist pose.

NERF Rival Hypnos XIX-1200
Cold weather means NERF gun wars in the office, and if you’re looking for a solid sidearm to aid you in beating back the onslaught of your co-worker foes, you can’t go wrong with the Hypnos. This one shoots the compact ball-style NERF projectiles instead of the darts, ejecting them from the muzzle with some serious force. The clip holds a dozen shots, and the XIX-1200 includes a rail clip on top of the gun that you can snap a spare magazine onto for quick reloading. A folding stock also allows you to reduce the form factor for easier portability.

LEGO Star Wars Boost Droid Commander
The droids are one of the most compelling elements of the Star Wars universe, with quirky new models introduced seemingly every movie. If you want to raid the Jawa marketplace for some robots of your own, pick up this incredibly cool LEGO Star Wars set, which taps into STEM principles to let you build a number of pre-designed droids and even design your own. Take R2-D2, Gonk Droid, and Mouse Droid through 40 unique missions in the included app and use the skills you developed to create the ultimate android helper.

Fortnite Battle Bus And Exclusive Figures
Who knows when the money train that is Fortnite will finally jump the tracks, but the ultra-successful battle royale franchise doesn’t seem to be losing steam any time soon. With great success comes merchandising, of course, and there are numerous Fortnite toys hitting shelves this holiday season. Amazon has an exclusive version of the Battle Bus, that dirigible that deposits players into the heart of the storm to build and shoot for their lives. The bus stands over a foot tall with balloon attached and comes with a duo of exclusive figures, Funk Ops and Burnout. You even get a wee little loot llama.

Hot Wheels id Race Portal
How do you take a classic toy like die-cast metal racing cars and make them relevant to today’s modern world? Why, with technology of course. The Hot Wheels brand has been a staple of childhood since 1968, and they’re not going anywhere. The id Race Portal allows you to monitor the performance of your racers by scanning them as they pass through the gates, letting data-driven drivers track lap time, top speed, and more. You can even scan your existing cars into the app and compete in virtual challenges if you don’t have room to set up the big plastic track.

Transformers Heroic Bumblebee Figure
Sadly, this jumbo-sized Bumblebee doesn’t change into the classic VW Beetle as seen in the recent movie, but you can’t have everything. The yellow-hued Autobot warrior with courage far outstripping his abilities has been a tentpole character for the Transformers franchise since the very beginning, and he’s seen numerous toy incarnations. This one offers less detail in exchange for a significant boost in size, with his robot form standing nearly a foot tall and ready to rumble.

Gravitrax Marble Run
Some toys will never go out of style. The sheer kinetic thrill of watching marbles traverse intricately-designed courses has been captivating kids for at least a century, and there are multiple people on YouTube producing slickly-filmed videos of just that. If you want to get into it at home, the new Gravitrax line from puzzle manufacturer Ravensberger is a good place to start. Using unique hexagonal base tiles, you can construct ramps, drops, trick shots, and more. It’s easily expandable with additional kits as well.

LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle
We have a lot of LEGO around the Geek offices, because few other toys capture the unique blend of all-out geekery and constructive creativity that we crave. A few of the company’s sets are so overwhelmingly cool that they awe anybody who sees them, and the Hogwarts Castle is a prime example. Composed of over 6,000 pieces, you can build not only the famous wizarding school but Hagrid’s hut and a host of other items. A whopping 27 microfigures let you populate the building with all of your favorite Potter characters, and some of your least favorite as well.

MIBRO Gold Robot
The gold-toned paint job on this cute and useful little robot marks it as an Amazon exclusive, so if you want to flash the bling on your mechanized servants you’d better pop this bad boy into your cart. The MIBRO is armed with a powerful microphone and speaker, so you can send him on reconnaissance missions into your boss’s office and then blast out a wall-rattling fart noise to disrupt the proceedings. The little guy can also carry nearly a pound of weight with his included tray, so have him bring you a sandwich when he’s done.
