WELCOME TO OUR OFFICIAL SITE! The Fisher-Price Collectors Club is a group of people who enjoy collecting the wonderful toys made by the Fisher-Price toy company. We have been together for 30 years, first forming in 1993. The club is a registered non-profit organization 501(c)(3)with the purpose to preserve and collect Fisher-Price toys, and to bring together the people who enjoy them. Our club is unique in that we don't just exist as an online entity - we have a yearly convention where we get together to meet in person and socialize; and also have a sale to buy, sell and trade our favorite toys! If you have ever seen Brad Cassity's book Fisher-Price Toys, yes that's our club mentioned in there, and many photos in that book were from our club member's private collections. Check out our website and see what we do!

APRIL 25, 2021 UPDATE: WE ARE HAVING OUR SALE AND DINNER!!! See posts above for more info! This update originally was a sad depressing post about how New York is not lifting Covid restrictions, and will keep everything closed and us all masked in perpetuity. As of late April, few restrictions had been lifted so we were going to cancel our sale and dinner yet again. BUT FINALLY in May enough restrictions were lifted so the club's dinner, sale and even the Chamber of Commerce's Street and Sidewalk Sale IS ON! The sale will be on Saturday July 24th at the Blazing Star Masonic Lodge in East Aurora NY from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. YES!!!!!

JANUARY 23, 2021 UPDATE: Hello club members and all Fisher-Price fans! Many of you have asked about membership for the 2020-2021 year. Due to the current covid situation, we extended all current memberships for another year while we wait until the world gets in a better place, and we can get together again. The good news is the most recent Gabby Goose newsletter was mailed out in December 2020, so all 2020 club members should have received it! Many thanks to Kara for being our editor for this edition! No idea yet on whether the club will get together in the summer of 2021. While we wait for the world to heal, please join us in the Fisher-Price Facebook Groups so we can keep on collecting, chatting and staying in touch!

JANUARY 1st, 2021 UPDATE: Happy New Year from the Fisher-Price Collectors Club! The Little People celebrate as the Teaching Clock strikes midnight! We can only hope for a better year ahead!

NOVEMBER 2020 UPDATE: Due to our cancelled 2020 convention and the ongoing covid situation, the club will be "on pause" for now while we wait it out. All current members had their membership extended for another full year (covering the 2020-2021 year). The Gabby Goose newsletter is also on pause, so don't worry if you haven't received one in awhile! All current club members were mailed an envelope in October explaining the membership extension. But we aren't just twiddling our thumbs, as many of our collectors have been very busy with their collections during their stay-at-home time! Please join us in our Facebook Groups to see people's displays, see everyone's new toy finds, and generally just chat about Fisher-Price and stay in touch!

MAY 30, 2020 UPDATE: We are sad to report that the club's July 2020 Convention and Sale has been cancelled, which was expected. Due to Covid restrictions in New York, no large gatherings are permitted indefinitely in the state. The Fisher-Price Collectors Club's annual sale is part of a larger event, the East Aurora Chamber of Commerce's Street and Sidewalk Sale, which has been cancelled. As a result, the club is not getting together in 2020 (no dinner, no sale, no nothing). We look forwards to 2021, hoping the situaiton will have improved by then. Please join us chatting in our Facebook Groups so we can keep collecting, chatting and stay in touch!

MAY 10, 2020 UPDATE: With the uncertain times going on right now, The Fisher-Price Collectors Club's annual show and sale is still awaiting word on what to do this summer. The dates are July 24-25, 2020 in East Aurora NY. The sale is part of the East Aurora Chamber of Commerce's Street and Sidewalk sale, and they are awaiting decisions by the State of NY. Please check back on to this site for updates as they come.

February 17, 2020 UPDATE: Collectors, mark your calendars! The date is set - the Fisher-Price Collector Club's next annual Toy Show and Sale is Saturday July 25, 2020 in East Aurora NY! The times are 9:00am to 2:30 pm. The location is the Blazing Star Masonic Lodge at 645 Main Street. This is the same location for the sale as the prior few years. More information will be mailed to club members as the time gets closer. For more details, see our updated Toy Sale Page!.

December 22, 2019 UPDATE: Collectors, check your mailboxes! The November 2019 and December 2019 issues of the Gabby Goose newsletter were mailed out this week! The November issue is all about our July 2019 convention. The December issue is very special, as it showcases just about every ornament Fisher-Price made for Christmas! And in full color as well! It shows the Hallmark ornaments, Department 56 ornaments, and even some made by Fisher-Price for their employees. Many thanks to our wonderful editor and those who helped her put together such a unique and well-researched newsletter! Visit our updated Gabby Goose Newsletter Page for more info about the newsletters.

Contact Info:

The club's email is: fpclub@att.net

NOTE: Since the club is run by volunteers, sometimes it takes awhile to answer emails. (If we recognize your email as a club member, you will definitely get priority!). Also the email account gets a lot of spam, so it's very easy to miss an email. If you have a toy-related question (not specifically club-related), you could always post in one of the Facebook groups.

NOTE ABOUT SELLING REQUESTS: The club often receives emails from people looking to sell their Fisher-Price toys (usually in played-with condition, or Toyfest toys) in a large lot to a collector. At this time, due to covid and lack of manpower, the club does not do any buying or selling over the internet. If you have toys to sell, best place to get views is to post in one of the Facebook sales groups, or use Ebay. One Facebook group to post sales is "Fisher-Price Toys 4 Sales Only" as many club members and collectors hang out there (The Facebook group is not run by the club). Good luck with your selling!



We love our Fisher-Price Toys!
