It was non-stop happenings from morning ’til night (well, actually, beyond that). What a blast! Here are a few of the highlights: 

  • Flibbix was rated in the Top 10 games in the Toy Fair ‘08 Game Zone. You’ll see Flibbix in TDMonthly’s Top 10 Toy Fair Games list, and mentioned first in the opening paragraph! If you Google “top Toy Fair games,” the article pops up at the top of the list. 
  • The reaction to Flibbix from buyers, press, and others (including a handful of game industry icons) was overwhelmingly positive. People really enjoyed the game and can’t wait to get it.
  • We were able to get some photos from the show and will post some soon.

Thanks to all of you who stopped by to see us at Toy Fair. We really enjoyed meeting so many great people and seeing their reaction to Flibbix.
