If you happened to visit the LEGO Store at Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street last year, you might remember their spectacular tie-in display for the movie Wicked — complete with life-size LEGO sculptures of both Glinda and Elphaba. Earlier this year, I shared Glinda as a Pink Thing of the Day, but with the release of the new film Wicked: For Good (full disclosure: I haven’t seen either movie yet), it only seems right to give Elphaba her moment in the spotlight as well.

Toy Fair, held annually at NYC’s Javits Center, is one of the largest and most exciting toy industry trade shows in the world. It’s where toy manufacturers, buyers, and industry professionals come together to showcase and discover the latest in toys, games, collectibles, and licensing trends.  Toy Fair is a dream event for anyone who loves toys, pop culture, and creative product design, though it’s traditionally a trade-only event and therefore not open to the general public). Bummer for you!

Fortunately, I was able to snag a press badge this year and make my inaugural visit, where I had an amazing time! Toy Fair runs for four days (four days!) but my busy social calendar only allowed me one day at the show. This meant that I had a lot of ground to cover, but I made the most those seven or eight hours.  Let’s check out some of my favorite finds!

Happy National LEGO Day, 2023!

Today, January 28th, is National LEGO Day for 2023! Did you even know that such a day exists? I probably did, but you are excused if you had no idea, because who would? Please enjoy this photo of a Giant LEGO Gandalf, the Wizard from Lord of The Rings, that I snapped while visiting the LEGO Store on Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street in Manhattan. If you want to see him for yourself, he’s probably still there!
