After the 2021 Toy and Hobby Fair was cancelled and held virtually (without many toy companies like Hasbro), it is back for 2022 as the state is opening back up after covid.

The dates are a little later than usual, as it is often at the start of March... which usually clashes with the Grand Prix (making it more difficult to get cheap accommodation), and is almost always on the same weekend as the Sydney Mardi Gras (the first weekend of March).

For 2022 it is on Sunday 27th to Wednesday 30th March - a week before the Grand Prix (which was also pushed back a month).

Unless we see a new, worse variant of covid that is immune to the vaccine that shuts everything down again, I'd really like to make sure I'm there once again... not just for the Toyfair, but also for the travel outside of my own part of the world after 2 years.

I haven't heard word from Hasbro Australia yet, but if the event is on, I don't think they would skip it since they are the biggest exhibitor. (Mattel is based in Melbourne, so they do their own appointment-only tours at their own premises while the retailers are in Melbourne.)
