Back from Toy Fair
Hello all,
We are back from a very busy, but hopefully, successful Toy Fair in New York.
The show was loaded with lots of new and exciting things, and as always, I love going to learn about the toys we already stock.
The show was very busy and the vendors were plentiful, both good signs of things to come in the toy world.
Oddly enough, the biggest trend of 2013 (and everyone has something in this theme) is........
MUSTACHES!
We ordered tattoos, plush and sunglasses, just to name a few of the toys that are mustache themed.
Lay & Go is going to be BIG- it answers the life-long question of "where do I store Lego's"?
Force Flyers might just be the next big thing in the world of RC. They are a NASA designed remote controlled cars and helicopters that you control by wearing and moving a glove...so cool!
We found great new things that will be arriving anywhere from next week into fourth quarter, be sure to stop in our store so we can tell you all bout the Show!
Don't forget...mention this blog and get 10% OFF your entire purchase throughout the month of February, 2013.

February 2013 (Toy Fair)
Heading to Toy Fair again...
It's that time of year when we all venture to NYC and check out all the exciting happenings at the International Toy Fair. This is a great time for us to recharge our batteries! The Fair offers us, as toy buyers, many insider benefits. First, it allows us to develop relationships wiht our reps and vendors so when we need "special orders" for our customers, they are much more willing to accomidate. Second, we get to see, and by see I mean touch and feel, all the toys. This is very helpful because most of the time, the products are much cooler than the box would have you believe. This is most helpful with games. Playing games is the only way to truly understand and be able to explain to the customer how they work and what age they are appropriate for. The "game" aisles of the Fair are where we spend a good majority of our time. Finally, this is where we can find all the unique, small company products that are new or undiscovered as of yet. We look at everything to make sure nothing slips through the cracks. We are hoping that the 2013 Toy Fair doesn't dissappoint. We can not wait to tell you about it when we get back.
Just a reminder...Pun's will be closed Monday, Feb. 11th

Pun's Toys- Back from TOY FAIR
We are back from the biggest toy show in the country, the New York International Toy Fair.
WOW! That is all I can say about this years show.
It is pretty amazing to see all of our toy vendors (and many others) all displaying product at one time in one huge place. We make a habit out of walking the entire show to make sure we don't miss anything, then we go back and buy the newest and coolest things we saw.
This year, we believe we found many great new items to be relaesed at various times throughout the year and many great products shipping ASAP.
The unanimous best product we saw at the show was from a new company called High-Tec.
The product is a newer, modern version of the classic light-bright but without any limitations and LED bulbs. We have a sample to show, and are taking pre-orders. The item will be available shortly.
Also, we are very excited about a little front counter item called
"Stikeez" by Zing.
Very cute, little collectible suction cup animals that stick on just about everything. There are 30 different styles in this collection.
Great for party favors or stocking stuffers.
These are just a few of the thousands of incredible toys we saw and got to play with while in New York. Stop in to see and find out about all the new items.
Hope to see you soon,
JOE Jr.

HELLO ALL,
Summer is officially OVER! Sorry...
Hope everyone had a great one, but now with the weather changing, several things come to mind.
1. Birthday season is upon us and we are ready to get you in, wrapped, and on your way to the party.
2. Halloween is right around the corner.
3. Oh yeah...the HOLIDAYS are in a few short months.
We here at Pun's have been busy.
Over the last few weeks, we have completely stocked the store from top to bottom. Over 1000 boxes have been priced and displayed.
We have all the great toys, new and classic-favorites alike, from all of our incredible vendors.
- The brand new Playmobil Egyptian Sets have been selling like crazy. The Pyramid is the most detailed set in recent memory, plus the Sphinx and Ship really are a great compliment for any creative child's playroom.
- The Dress-Up section is reloaded, ready for everyday imaginative play and, of course, Halloween. Boys and Girls outfits range from Princesses and Fairies to Knights and Pirates and many many more. Loads of accessories as well.
- The Science Area has been stocked to the rafters with new and exciting kits and projects to bring some fascination and wonder into your home. Scientific Explorer and Toysmith make it easy for your child to bring these exciting experiments to life.
- The shipment of Stuffed Animals was so large that they didn't fit on the shelves up front, so we had to expand them into the window display. More in stock now than ever before. Quite a sight to see, so many different types of animals and nearly every breed of dog.
- Don't forget about the sections of our store that make us the most unique shop in the area:
> Games > Dolls
> Puzzles > Preschool
> Baby Gifts > Arts & Crafts
> and last but not least...The Front Counter
Want to get an early start on Holiday shopping?
We have rolls of wrapping paper and are happy to make your life easier with FREE WRAPPING!
