Of course, athlete autographs and celebrity appearances just the icing on the kids toy cake. The show includes tons of toy-related exhibits and activities. There’ll be a custom-built NERF battle arena, a spot dedicated to Dungeons and Dragons, and even an area to learn how to play Magic: The Gathering. The big sell for toy collectors, however, has to be the release of some exclusive new products. Here are a few that fans have been pining for:
