2008 American International Toy Fair

The 105th annual American International Toy Fair brought thousands of toy makers, industry players — and fun-loving gawkers — to New York City this week. From an eerily life-like new Elmo to digital cameras for dogs, here's a look at some of the most notable toys, games, and gadgets of 2008.

Temple of the Crystal Skull

  • Print

By Lego
For ages 8+
$79.99

This 929-piece Lego set comes complete with swiveling or collapsing staircases, a trap door and other cool booby traps, like falling boulders. You can also flick spears from the temple walls. Look for it in May, when the latest Indiana Jones installment, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, opens in theaters. It's a big year for movie and TV licenses and, sure enough, Lego will also produce play sets tied to Speed Racer (the live-action movie, Speed Racer, opens in May) and Star Wars (the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars hits theaters in August).
