Join TDmonthly's FREE Toy Fair Tour

See the Best New Companies and Standout Specialty Products


We know your time at Toy Fair is valuable, and despite efforts to "see it all," it's simply impossible to check out every product that might be a match for your store ... or could one day become a best seller!

For the past 12 years at Toy Fair, ToyDirectory and TDmonthly Magazine's editorial team has searched hundreds of booths to bring specialty retailers recommended toy lists and, more recently, videos of new, unique and unusual items, highlighting those with the greatest potential for independent toy stores.

New Products and First-Time Exhibitors

This year, we're taking our coverage a step further by leading select groups of retailers on tours to some of the most promising booths for the specialty market. For each tour, we will choose 10+ companies (including brand new exhibitors).

TOUR SCHEDULE:

Sunday, Feb. 15, 10:00 a.m.
Tuesday, Feb. 17, 9:00 a.m.

In addition to being introduced to great new toys, if you participate, you will:
  • be entered into a drawing for a prize valued at $300
  • receive show specials above and beyond exhibitors' regular Toy Fair discounts (subject to manufacturer offering)
Please meet 10 minutes prior to the tour time in the lobby of Javits, facing the main registration desks on Level 1, in front of the farthest escalator to your right. (see map image at top)

Look for TDmonthly's Julie Jones (brunette in a red and white TDmonthly shirt, see photo at right).

Spaces are limited, so please email julie (at) toydirectory.com to confirm your attendance.

We look forward to seeing you there! And if you can't make it, please be sure to read all of our daily on-the-floor Toy Fair coverage.
