Hello everyone. I have been lock downed here in Hong Kong since January. I am in the plastic toy industry and was thinking about attending the Chicago Toy Fair in November.
I have been to the Nuremberg Toy Fair as well as the Las Vegas Show.

How is the Chicago Toy Fair? Any thoughts or comments?
Regards
Ryan

R @Ryan Takahashi I went in 2016, and I had a good time. It is not on the same scale as New York or Nuremberg, and I found that it was much heavier on games than on toys. There was essentially no presence from manufacturers of dinosaur and animal figures. But I got to play some fun game prototypes!

I'm a little surprised to learn that the fair is still expected to go on in November, honestly.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.
