Toy Fair 2009 Pics Part 1

So its that time of the year again. The staff headed to the International Toy Fair Industry Trade Show this week to meet with the manufacturers that supply our store and to check out whats coming up in 2009 for the world of TOYS!!!! Always a great experience at the Javitz Center in NYC, this year marks the 106th show! Although we may not have as many pictures as some of the others, cut us some slack, we're a store, not press and we try to offer a little more than just selling you stuff. Anyway, here's part 1 of the photos, please feel free to comment away. Enjoy!

Stopped by the Lego booth, some new Star Wars and Indiana Jones, pics a little blurry because of their set-up though.

The Toy2R booth was great, as usual. Raymond Choy (owner) was there and said that they have a lot of surprises for 2009 and fans will be very pleased. After viewing the booth, vinyl collectors will be well taken care of this year!
