Marian Bossard, TIA vice president of meetings and events said: "The number of buyers and the number of retail outlets both increased from last year.

"Toy Fair continues to be a place where buyers and manufacturers gather to do business and strike up deals, while press flock to the show to report on new product and trends."

Exhibitor Harold Chizick, CP of global communications and promotions at Spin Master said: "This year's Toy Fair was four days of nonstop business. Out booth was constantly filled with  top quality buyers, deal-makers and A-list media."
