In an effort to engage you all while I’m taking hundreds of photos on my DSLR and uploading them later, I decided to try Instagraming my trip along the way. You can always follow me on Instagram. Click below to see the journey.
I began my mission on a Bolt Bus from DC to NYC, we narrowly avoided the snow.
Had to stop by Grand Central Station and get a shot of the clock they borrowed from Saturday Night Live.
Brooklyn Bridge.
Ghostbusters Firehouse; you will be missed, Harold Ramis.
Had to stop by the Times Square Toys ‘R Us and visit Playmobil land!
The visit to Top of the Rock was kind of a bust due to the weather. Sunday was gorgeous, but I was there on Saturday.
Swung by the Lego Store at 30 Rock, and picked up a super famous Lego mini-fig. Did you know he was famous for being in the LEGO Movie? ZOMG!!
My tour of the LEGO booth. I thought since he was dressed for HOTH, it would be appropriate.
But then I found the new LEGO Artic Exploration set! Not as good as the Playmobil arctic set with the Inuit mom with a papoose, but they’re trying to keep up.
The mother land! I reached the Playmobil Toy Fair Booth and it was glorious. My favorite stop of the whole show. These Samurai dragon castles look fantastic.
After a long day at Toy Fair, we went to Dinosaur BBQ, and tried the Wango Tango sauce. That’ll clean out your sinuses.
My favorite place to grab a quick bite is Schnippers near Times Square.
Rats, not enough time to go into B&H Photo, the premiere camera shop in NYC. Maybe next time.
BONUS!
Here are a few shots that I took, but never put in my Instagram feed.
I couldn’t resist posing by the infamous T Rex!
Taking a “dip” in the LEGO store.
I’m one of the backers of this Kickstarter project Modarri Cars by Thoughtful toys. Check it out! I’m really looking forward to that car, however…
This is what I dream of!
Anyway, you can check out my actual 2014 Toy Fair coverage here.
