Christmas starts early in the toy world. February mostly, with the really big trade toy fairs held in New York and Nuremberg. Tim goes to both these fairs, and quite a few others as well.
Many of the big companies that exhibit at these fairs are looking for large wholesale orders, which will be manufactured and then delivered by September, in time for the start of Christmas.
However some of the stands have samples that can be bought, especially on the last day of the fair, and Tim is always on the look-out for things that are available to buy, and which he also likes. Here are some of his ‘finds’ from various trade toy fairs held in the spring of 2015.
