It’s simply amazing how quickly a year races by but race by it did. The 2015 New York Toy Fair at the Jacob Javits Center opens on Valentine’s Day this year which suits toy lovers just fine. The anticipation has grown to a fever pitch as toy vendors make last minute preparations to ensure a successful debut at the Toy Industry’s premiere showcase event. For members of the media, the New York Toy Fair transforms into the biggest toy store in the world. For me, the allure lies in seeking out innovation at its finest.

This commonly known fact had inexplicably escaped me my entire life. “Not again” I thought. I opted to register as a member of the press in order to get a more in depth experience. Today was day 1 of the 2011 New York Comic Con.
