Toy Stories
Summary
The metaplot revolves around the toy industry; design, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution. It is a multinational industry and toys are strongly influenced by cultural and demographic factors. My initial focus is on North America and Europe and Christian toy markets. In these locations, demand for toys is cyclical with peak sales during the Christmas shopping season.
