Tim has been attending the New York Toy Fair for many years. It takes place each February, and is often the first sighting of toys that will be available the following Christmas. Although the event is about showcasing new toys, not selling them, Tim can sometimes buy a sample of a toy he fancies, especially on the last day. Sometimes, if the stall holders know Tim (and who doesn't?) they might give him a sample on the last day, if it is something he has had his eye on. Of course there are times when Tim sees an interesting new toy at the fair, but then it never appears on the market. Maybe the company didn't feel there was enough interest, maybe there were manufacturing issues, there can be all sorts of reasons. Anyway, here is a quick tour of some of Tim's trips to the New York Toy Fair, ranging from 2006 to 2020.
