Get Your Toy Fair Toys Here!

Check Out TDmonthly for the Most Special Toys for Specialty

By: Alison Marek
Feb 13, 2009

Whether you're at the show, or snug at home with your laptop, you can access the best specialty toys from Toy Fair right here at TDmonthly Magazine.

Our editorial staff will be searching the aisles for new vendors and old favorites to find the best new toys for specialty toy stores in 2009. Just check out our TDmonthly Toy Fair Coverage and Highlights. We will present 10 to 20 exceptional products each day — including those we highlight on our Specialty Retailer Tours. You'll also find trend reportage, top-10s and other insights into the show.

Too pooped to click? We'll be sending out daily emails with our top picks, so be sure to check for these alerts.

If you're at the show, don't forget to Find Julie and get a free eBook, In the Black: TDmonthly's Essential Retailing Tips — a $79 value!

If you're home wishing you could see the toys yourself, don't despair! Just as we have since 2006, TDmonthly will bring back plenty of product demo videos so you can watch the show from home. We'll even have a video reel of post-show Specials.

See you at Toy Fair!
