Early Edition: Toy Fair

See the Toys Before You Go

By: Alison Marek & Julie L. Jones
Oct 13, 2008

Find out which hot, new toys will be on display at the American International Toy Fair in New York with TDmonthly Magazine’s Toy Fair Preview in December and January. Before February rolls around, you can make a list of the products you're interested in ... and get a jumpstart on orders by contacting manufacturers through our Inquiry Basket. Even if you're not attending Toy Fair at all, you'll still benefit by reading and ordering ahead. Plus, we'll be uploading video demonstrations from the show in March, so you won't feel you've missed a thing. See last year's Toy Fair videos.
