Radio controlled excavators, long-range snowball launchers and fully-automatic Nerf rifles - 2010 was a great year for people who take their playtime seriously. These are some of the most fun toys we could get our hands on.

At 0.39 inches (10mm) this is the smallest Rubik Cube in the world and the smallest piece of the 80s you can have in your hands-this side of Simon Le Bon's fake eyelashes.
2. TRON Controllers Make Any Game a TRON Game

Prince of Persia, Call of Duty, Red Dead Redemption-it doesn't matter what you're playing. Just know that it'll be better with one of PDP's glowing TRON controllers.

I can understand not wanting to be the guy who brings a jai alai xistera to a snowball fight, sure, but if you want to start tagging up your enemies (neighborhood nine-year-olds) at distances of up to 150 feet, well...
4. Who Needs an Indoor Ball? YOU Do, Apparently

Today's Nerf guns are exceedingly complex, with automatic firing and reloadable dart magazines. But Nerf's eureka moment arose from a decidedly more primitive scene: some cavemen chucking boulders around an office.
5. Hawk Eye RC Chopper: Your $65 Personal Spy Drone

Flying an RC helicopter? Sure, that's fun for a little while. Flying an RC helicopter that can shoot both video and still photos? That's good for a lifetime of creepy stalking memories.
