The Newgroups - A Great Place To Start

Usenet newsgroups are some of the greatest on-line sources for toy-related news and sales. A word of caution though: It's best to know a little bit about the groups before you just jump right in. Read the groups a while before posting. You'll be glad you did.

Also, take the time to read the FAQs or "Frequently Asked Questions" for any group you are interested in. These documents can save you time and embarrassment. Well worth the time to read.

If you aren't familiar with how to use newsgroups, please contact your Internet Service Provider for technical assistance. We'd love to be able to help everyone get on these groups, but unfortunately, everyone's setup is a little different and it is simply easier if you ask your own tech support how to make Usenet newsgroups work for you.

Here is a list of all the toy-related newsgroups:

The Welcome Wagon! - A Message for All New Visitors to the Toy Newsgroups!

A Brief History of the Toy-Related Usenet Newsgroups - The Lowdown on How it All Got Started!

Be sure to check out the Frequently Asked Questions and our giant list of Links for even more on-line resources!
