These, as well as 10 other new licensed properties, join Ravensburger’s range of the UK’s most popular and successful children’s puzzles. New character puzzles to look out for this season include Bush Baby World, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Avengers and Avengers Infinity War, Star Wars The Last Jedi and Olaf’s Frozen Adventures. For autumn/ winter, Ravensburger will be launching children’s puzzles for Disney’s Incredibles 2, Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, Disney Vampirina, Rusty Rivers, Nella and How to Train your Dragon 3. The company continues to lead the UK market, with more than triple the market share of its nearest competitor, achieving further growth of 4 per cent during 2017. In the STEM arena, experience the power of gravity with Gravitrax, a major new launch for autumn/ winter. This fun, interactive sphere and track system helps children discover magnetism, kinetics and gravity while learning how to build an action-packed track! Building the track is part of the fun and kids can freestyle with their own track design, or use the tasks and
blueprints included to help them to get started in the world of Gravitrax. Are the Gravity Spheres stopping or flying off before reaching the end target? Time for some problem solving. Rebuild and try something different. The Gravitrax track system can be extended indefinitely with extra track packs and add-ons. It is suitable for single or multi players aged eight years and up. Ravensburger has enjoyed fantastic reactions to the awardwinning Sneaker and the VW Campervan and continues this innovation with two British-themed products for autumn/winter. Joining the range later this year are an impressive Buckingham Palace and a Union Flag Sneaker 3D Puzzle. Ravensurger will continue to support this important category with a weighty TV-advertising campaign, and full digital and marketing support – it will also continue to innovate and expand the range. Ravensburger relies on, and appreciates the support of retailers and wants to assist its customers as much as possible. Its POS solutions and retailer events are proven to create interest and boost sales across all categories. These solutions are available at no extra charge to retailers, so do discuss the opportunities with the sales representatives at Toy Fair. With the inclusion of ThinkFun, new puzzle licenses, the introduction of Gravitrax and brand new innovative family and children’s games, Ravensburger expects to grow its existing categories and emerge in new ones. It also has new innovative technology in the BRIO range and some fantastic play sets that will ensure another strong year of growth. *Figures correct at time of going to press
