Toy Fair 2013 – New For Mega Bloks!

There is always a lot happening at Mega Bloks and it is apparent the designers at the Canadian company have been very busy this year. I had the chance to tour their showroom while in New York City for Toy Fair and there is a lot of great toys coming for little builders!

Musical blocks that can be placed on his hat show the corresponding keys to some popular songs. Kids can also play their own songs or have Billy teach them a couple new ones! $39.99 (Available Fall 2013)
