As previously reported right here on the Piercing Ken website, I once again had the honor of attending one of the awesome events that was being held by the folks over at The Toy Insider. This one was called the “Spring Fling” Toy Preview and it brought together a few dozen toy companies along with industry insiders, influencers and folks in the press like ourselves.
The event was held at Lavan Midtown and I apologize if any of this is already things that you know. I just am making sure that any new visitors are not lost if they find this post first 🙂 Usually, the Toy Insider events close with the attendees getting a goodie bag or a big box of stuff being sent to them at home but this time around it was not the case. We got cool tote bags with the “Spring Fling” branding but they were empty. Anything we left the event with was at the discretion of those who were exhibiting. The image below shows our tote packed to the brim and in this narrative I will share the goodies that I had as takeaways. It’s a slightly different take on the whole unboxing but will work just the same. Let’s go.

Hello again my friends and kind readers of “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken”, I’m back once more to continue along with the findings from last weeks adventure at the Toy Insider “Spring Fling” Toy Preview for 2024. It was held at the Lavan Midtown event space and brought together the industry, the influencers and the media (queue dramatic music). I’m no stranger to posting about The Toy Insider events at this point and always try to deliver the content in an engaging fashion. With this being my last of the exploring posts, it will have a little bit of everything so let’s begin with products we saw while walking around. I’ll begin with these cool Alphablocks, and the staff at this booth were giving away this cool plushie block.
These items were from “Toss In Tens” and it reminded me a little bit of skeeball and in some sense cornhole. Great stuff if you have a little backyard space or a very expansive family room with nothing breakable around you.

As previously mentioned, the Media High Command of “The Chronicles” AND the PiercingMetal.com website were in attendance at the annual Toy Fair and believe it or not this was our 10th time attending as a member of the press. One of the highlights of the Toy Fair is the unveiling of the products that were given the title of “Toy Of The Year” and this is a feature that I post exclusively on “The Chronicles”. Its mostly because of the age-groups of the products so let’s have the envelope please and see these winners. Some narrative and links will be interspersed as I find inspiration. Enjoy.
When I was growing up I always loved the miniature cars from both Matchbox and Hot Wheels. I am always happy to see the Mattel brand coming up with creative items year after year.
