Toy Fair this year was so-so.  A lot of the companies chose to go with the box
set-up which meant a lot of standing around waiting to get to meet with the PR
agent to be shown around the showroom.

One of the highlights that I thought would be interesting to the community is
the new release from K'Nex.  Last year they chose to introduce a building block
to the K'Nex line.  This year they went a step further in directly competing
with Lego by introducing their version of the minifig.  Look closely, they may
look familiar:
