News from the US Toy Fair

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called News from the US Toy Fair.

The US Toy Fair is on at the moment with the same figures on display that were shown at both the British and Nurnberg Toy Fairs, the main difference is that the US one normally allows photographs as well as being easier for non-toy trade people to get in.

The Allspark.com are in attendance and have been tweeting away with some information on what is going on, so here is a summary
