Shopping for loved ones is never easy. While the ever-growing popularity of online shopping has brought countless benefits, it's also ushered in a new age of abundance. If loved ones don't know exactly what they're looking for when it comes to Holiday gifts, then it's all too easy to get swept away in a sea of endless toys, collectibles, models, replicas, and merchandise. Thankfully, Hasbro is always a great place to turn to in these trying times.
Whether loved ones are into Star Wars, Marvel, Transformers, Nerf, Power Rangers, or Ghostbusters, Hasbro has it all, and that's just scratching the surface. No matter the franchise, Hasbro has a vast range of toys that are suitable for pretty much all ages, and an array of exclusive collectibles specifically designed for adult fans. When it comes to Holiday gift buying, Hasbro really does have it all.

A great option for those wanting a perfect blend of nostalgia and modernity, Hasbro's Star Wars Retro Collection has a pretty vast range of action figures coming from across the entire Star Wars universe. The most recent Star Wars Retro Collection range brings a number of Star Wars: Ahsoka characters to life, including the titular former Jedi, the Inquisitor Marrok, and Jedi-in-training Sabine Wren. Designed to be deliberate throwbacks to Kenner's original Star Wars toy line, these Ahsoka Retro figures have limited poseability and few accessories, but that's reflected in the price.

From Blaster rifles to lightsabers to extra hands with Force Lightning bolts attached, this Black Series set is packed with nostalgic goodness, though it definitely isn't the cheapest thing on this list.

Transformers Legacy Evolution Core Class Optimus Prime & Bumblebee
Approximate Retail Price: $39.99

Nerf LMTD Lightning Lair
Approximate Retail Price: $39.99
Link to Nerf Lightning Lair Blaster
A strange but really elaborate collaboration, Hasbro has worked alongside the incredibly popular Magic: The Gathering to produce a Nerf blaster based on the card game. Named the Lightning Lair, this blaster features a pattern specifically designed after the Lightning Bolt Magic card, and its three-round dart bursts are designed to imitate the card's three-damage effect. What makes this blaster even better is the inclusion of two exclusive Magic promo cards which feature the full-framed Lightning Bolt artwork for the very first time.

Approximate Retail Price: $131.99

And being arguably the most detailed Hasbro Ghostbusters Neutrona Wand yet, this is the ideal choice for any cosplaying loved ones.
