About Star


Star's life in the foster system didn't dull her dreams, but it did give her the strength to pursue them. Committed to following the path to fame in the cut-throat music industry, the singer tracks down her sister, Simone, and her best friend from Instagram, Alexandra, and the trio make their way to Atlanta. Once there, they find support in the form of mother-figure Carlotta and a down-and-out talent agent named Jahil who takes an interest in Star. As the young women chase down their dream, they find that ambition has a price and sometimes that price is too high.

Parents and grandparents have made fewer impulse buys outside of birthdays and Christmas, partly as they are less likely to be in stores.

"You do not get the same Willy Wonka-type excitement on The Internet as children do in a Toy Shop ," said Gary Grant , who chairs The Committee which selects the of "must-have" toys.

Blockbuster film releases had been earmarked as a saviour for the industry this year, owing to the sale of spin-off toy merchandise which account for 10% of the market. The two brands which have previously Broken Records for film-licensed products - Star Wars and Frozen - Will see new films released before Christmas.

But Mr Grant said the financial reality for many families was that buying a toy after watching a film would be a substitute for another toy purchase, not necessarily an additional purchase.

Some of the hotly tipped toys this year have links to YouTube stars and are marketed on Social Media . The fragmentation of entertainment channels has made it difficult for the big film brands to repeat previous Success - although some, such as Harry Potter - have had some joy.

"Children move on to the next thing very quickly, so there is a relatively short window of opportunity to make sales," She Said .

The Brexit effect

The Extra planning required by the potential for the UK leaving the EU on 31 October led many manufacturers and retailers making early decisions on orders for the coming Christmas.

That, according to Mr Grant, could mean a shortage of certain toys before Christmas which suddenly become popular. A cautious approach by manufacturers may add to this Concern .

However, there was also the chance that retailers could have over-ordered certain toys, leading to the potential for big discounts on those at some point before Christmas.

That, he said, would impact The Cash taken by retailers, in addition to The Extra management time and cost during the year that was caused by Brexit planning.

He predicted that a pick-up in the UK economy and consumer confidence would bring shoppers back to The High Street to spend money, but it was difficult to know when such an improvement would Come .
