Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings is now available!

[palitoy]

I was at a Dollar Tree this weekend, and it was really apparent that Rack Toys were still alive and well, just removed (for the most part) from groceries and drug stores. Fake mustaches, plastic dinosaurs, Disney, Marvel...you name it, it was there. These are things a future generation will obsess over, and a future Brian Heiler will one day write about.

About two years ago I had dinner with a supplier hoping to break into Canada. One of his sidelines was rack toys and he spent a good half hour warning me never to get into the business.

^That's funny, because that is exactly how I described these toys to my daughter, "These are like the toys we see at the dollar store."

And Brian, you deserve all the accolades you receive, and then some.
