I was allowed to take photos in the upper level of the Idea House, with the mock
toy store, original molds, and 1950s toy store museum (which you have photos
posted of). Also, I took them in the basement outside of the vault, with
clone/counterfeit displays, but was not allowed to inside the fault itself.
I saw all but the main floor, which I was told had the next year's products out
on display. I would have gladly signed an NDA to see them, but that wasn't an
option.
