I would like a list of companies with their contact information
including their web sites that sell major brand name toys at wholesale
prices. I would be most interested in toy manufactures that are common
in the retail stores (i.e. Toys R US, KB, ...). Also to clearify what
I mean by wholesale would be toys sold in bulk quantities or more or
less a B2B company.

Another thing I would like to add is a focus on wholesale video games
and console systems.

Hello -

I discovered the following site to be what looks like a central depot
for exactly what you're looking for:

Toy Directory
http://www.toydirectory.com/

Please let me know if this will suffice as an answer.

I think this is a good start. One of the major points of my question I
don't believe has been addressed yet.

In that website I couldn't find anything on Console game systems. I
found video games, but one of the main points I would like to stress
is a actual wholesaler that sells the console game systems.

I think that this site covers just about everything else, so with the
addition of another link for console systems sold in bulk then I would
certainly be happy with the answer.

Thanks for your efforts

Hi -

I really don't think there's money in consoles.  It's more in the
games.  I think it's the old "free cell phone" setup.  The money is
made in the minutes.

That is a good point. After doing some research myself and reading the
links that you have provided, it would appear to be hard to sell
consoles and make any amount of money from them. What about links to
Video Game distributors then we can call it done! Thanks again for
your efforts
