The Australian Toy, hobby and nursery fair is taking place in Melbourne this week with the highlight being the annual Toy of the year awards. With The Lego Movie coming to cinemas in April this year, associated toys are looking to be a big hit if the multiple awards are anything to go by. A full list of category winners can be found at http://austoy.com.au/toy-fair/2014-award-winners.
At the event I caught up with the president of the Australian Toy association, David Handy. He talks us through the winners list and toy trends for the year. Press the play icon to listen.
