While the American International Toy Fair may have lost some of its luster over the last few years, there are several noteworthy manufacturers that showcase some of their latest introductions at the upcoming Nuremberg Toy Fair. This year, the Nuremberg show opens earlier than usual, scheduled to throw open its doors on January 30th, 2013. Moreover, some companies don’t wait until the doors are officially opened, instead preferring to disseminate product information several days prior to gain a leg up on the competition. So, even though many of you are still in a holiday frame of mind, keep in mind that a new year brings with it many new things that couldn’t be squeezed on to Santa’s sled.
