The toys that your children will be begging for are being previewed at this year's Toy Fair.

Mainstays like Barbie and Lego are joining newcomers like "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and drones.

Barbie is getting a new dream house, a smart home version of the house that girls wanted growing up, Mashable reported.

The Barbie Hello Dreamhouse will set you back $299 this fall.

The doll who has her own shade of pink is also getting a drone, a Barbie Drone.

Barbie will be able to fly later this year for $59.99.

A 3D printer will also be available in a child's size thanks with Mattel's ThingMaker 3D printer. It will set you back $299, not counting the colored filament, which will be sold separately.

And if you were as enthralled by BB-8 and you didn't get your hands on Sphero's little robot, a full-sized version of the orange and white rolling droid will be on the market this fall. BB-8 will cost $180. The Spin Master replica is controlled by either a traditional remote or voice commands. It will also have a "follow me" mode so BB-8 will roll along in your footsteps, Mashable reported.
