Spielwarenmesse – Wonderland of International Toy Exhibition 2020.

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , .

The Spielwarenmesse is well know by those in the international toy markets to come together at the world of toys, renowned brands, industries and game developers be present between January, 29. – February, 2. 2020 at the annual Toy Fair in Nuremberg – Germany.

Likewise this year at the world’s largest  international toys and games exhibition at Spielwarenmesse, featuring world-leading game manufacturers and distributors, revealed that environmental awareness is increasingly appearing in the gaming industry, bringing digital or cinematic figures to life, and classical or application-based board games will continue to grow. At the gigantic Nuremberg Exhibition, the biggest dealers were already choosing products for the next Xmas season.

As the largest children’s toy webshop in Hungary, the experts at jateknet.hu have found that the experience of unpacking is still in focus, and interactive plush and robots are gaining ground, so they are focusing on their 2020 offering accordingly.

Providing a good reflection of the current market, the 3 trends “Toys for Future” (products made from organic or recycled materials), “Digital goes Physical” (content and stars that children are familiar with in the digital world), and “Be You!”, were well received by trade visitors and exhibitors in this year’s exhibition. The focus of the fair was on connecting digital and traditional toys and environmental awareness. The sustainability trend in the toy industry is evident in plant-based plastics, paper, wooden toys and packaging.  The jateknet.hu webshop, for example, reuses large boxes of toys – purchased from suppliers – by forwarding them to customers who order a variety of products.

Gergely Őri, manager of jateknet.hu webshop, said: “The unpacking experience remains one of the leading trends this year when either the player unpacks the toy or the toy itself „pops out” of its box. Thousands of novelties are expected in the spring offering, including exciting toys where the need to unscrew balls from a machine and get the surprises from the balls, or cut the toy itself out of a hard jelly-like material.” Molded materials also play an important role, such as slimes, but they are no longer part of the process of making them (which has burst into public awareness), but rather as part of other games.

The proliferation of interactive plush and robot items are undeniable, primarily due to the new generation’s changed lifestyle and play habits. One might think that in today’s digitalisation environment (online and mobile games, e-sports) it is becoming increasingly difficult to get kids to play physical games. Experience has, however, shown that board games are flourishing – for example, Monopoly is 85 years old –  that most popular retro toys are „remodeling” or adapting and adding mobile apps and applications, but physical display from digital is also a popular trend, such as Fortnite video game toy-figures.

The experience of the exhibition has confirmed  that the heros of the major manufacturers are always determined by the actual new films, cartoons and video games that appear in the given year.  Parents must be aware and prepared in advance because most of the new and trendy children’s toys are  already and will be added to the web store’s offer.

“Tutankhamun’s Treasures and Mysteries” – Book Signing @ Budapest

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , .

The Egyptian  well known Mr. Zahi Hawass, Professor of Archeology – Egyptologist  held a book signing of  his latest, “Tutankhamun’s treasures and mysteries”… subheading … from Howard Carter to DNA., at the Paris Court of Budapest Hotel on the occasion of Hungary’s first official publication of the album. Over two hundred people were curiously waiting to see him in person on the occasion of book signing  which was Hungary’s first official publication of the book. Upon arrival the world-famous archeology professor was greeted with great enthusiasm by lovers of the history of Egypt’s mysteries of mummies.

By its weight is a heavy album which contains a huge historical overview of “our long forgotten past.” The album takes its readers along the sophisticated paths of scientific research and legend in a captivating high-quality compilation. The weight of the book is less than the contents therein.  He believes that Egyptian culture belongs to everyone. It is not only for tourists, but also for all those who help to raise awareness and protect the Egyptian treasures of the World Heritage.

The professor of archeology also presents the results of his new research over the past two years. In his view, the current exploration is significant because it is the first time an ancient “industrial site” has been explored. 30 workshops, ancient warehouse buildings, and many 3500-year-old ceramic items were brought to light by the professor.

According to Hawass he is convinced that the best of the Eastern European Egyptologists come from Hungary, including László Kákossy. As he said, there was only one mistake he committed being once persuaded to buy something antique, which was not later known not to be… he said with a wide smile on his face.

Last but not least the professor stated:

“I will find Cleopatra’s tomb … To show the World!”

Well hope and wishing him success!

Making those summer and winter storage months much easier without the pain to get rid of something and avoid to deal with those stressful hours.  People will reach more secure storage space with the selection of containers of various sizes. It would be just as having an own second garage. Office Storage containers … There are many reasons why business needs space, personal possessions, such as  to store equipment, file, stocks or a meeting room for that last-minute appointment. On the spot there are experts in providing tailor made solutions for requirements. Accommodation containers … Placing home furniture into storage is really handy especially in times when do not know where to place the home belongings,  moving home, redecorating, renovating or simply looking to free up some space.

They knew the titanium is precious metal. These containers are not made of Tianium, but well fit to be name of the characteristic force it holds.  Also spoke about the foundation by her father Layland Barker in 1987. Since then TITAN has become perhaps the largest privately owned company supplying shipping and storage containers for a vast multitude of applications.
