Spring is nearly upon us and here at TnP the March of Time waits for no Toy or Plaything.
We report on the full year-end accounts season, our Nuremberg and London Toy Fairs reviews — with informed comment from suppliers, other attendees and, most importantly our retailers. All this in our Trade Talk and Talking Retail sections.
Our March features dive into the Preschool, Pocket Money and Games & Puzzles sectors — not only looking at the latest, cool products but also an equitable assessment of each category for 2024 and beyond. Clue: positive.
With The Entertainer snuggling up with Tesco, we ask the Indies what they think of it … with mixed responses, and TnP retail editor, Clare Turner talks to the finalists of the Toy Industry Awards of 2023, including the winner of the Independent Toy Retailer of the year (Single Store), Fagan’s Toymaster.
We also have the latest news and comments plus Asmodee headlining in the March TnP Ambassadors Toys and Games Room. In case you don’t already know, this is where our hardest judges, the kids tell us what’s good or bad. This time their force is reckoning with the Star Wars Unlimited trading card game.
Talking of The Force, we’re ready to be reckoned by yours, and so do get in touch with the TnP Team on our April features and your retail opinions at claire@tnpmedia.co.uk and tim@lemapublishing.co.uk
