The second of this year’s two official Toymaster catalogues is available from today, featuring top toy brands, exclusives and budget-friendly picks for Christmas.

Toymaster’s Autumn Catalogue is now available in the buying group’s UK stores and on its website from today.

The Toymaster Autumn Catalogue features all the key brands Toymaster members are stocking ahead of the festive season, and the front cover highlights a section of the exclusive lines that shoppers won’t be able to find anywhere but their local Toymaster store this year. This, says development manager Brian McLaughlin, shows that the independent buying group’s suppliers are ‘really supporting the independent sector with great exclusive products’.

Brian adds: “The Toymaster Autumn catalogue reflects that our members’ stores stock all the main toy and game brands children will be putting on their wish lists this Christmas. We have lots of exclusives – more than ever before, in fact – across brands like Lego, L.O.L. Surprise! and CoComelon, as well as our exclusive Slime Party brand which is selling really well.”

Conscious of having the most attractive price points represented throughout the catalogue, Toymaster has seen to it that roughly 80% of lines featured are under £30. Brian says the group this price point works best for independents and will be where the majority of purchases stem from this year.

One of the many benefits of Toymaster membership, the twice-yearly catalogues offer specialist indie retailers another way to engage with their communities. The colourful catalogues can be offered in-store, where shoppers can pick one up while browsing for or buying their latest purchase, or retailers can opt to have them distributed along with local newspapers.
