| frugalshop's Full Review: Mary Beth's Bean Bag World Magazine |
Mary Beth's Bean Bag World is the leading publication in the bean bag toy market! Mary Beth's Bean Bag World provides more than enough information to satisfy even the most avid collector of bean bag toys.
The magazine is published monthly at a cost of $6.99 US, and $9.99 Canada.
Yes, it is expensive, but if you are a collector, it is worth every penny. As an extra bonus, the magazine itself is a collector's item.
I have seen them for sale at beanie shows for up to $15.00.
This is the most comprehensive beanie magazine available. There are others, but they do not contain as much information. Some of my favorite features of this magazine are:
• The Bean Bag Buyer's Guide
This section contains Mary Beth's market analysis, a list of all TY Beanie Babies - Buddies - Attic Treasures, Promotional and Special beanies, tag information, and more!
• Collectible Shows
Contains information and dates of upcoming trade shows in US.
• Bean Bag Bonanza
Listing of new bean bag toys by companies other than TY.
• Articles
Stories of collectors, celebrities, and promotions.
• Pull-out Posters
Mary Beth's Bean Bag World also has a very nice website:
http://www.beanbagworld.net/
At the website you can:
• Sign up for the Mary Beth's Bean Bag Club
to receive special membership freebees, and member-only specials.
• Subscribe to Mary Beth's Bean Bag World Interactive Edition.
• Chat on messageboards, enter contests, or take surveys.
Mary Beth's also provides The Bean Bag World Hotline.
The number is listed in the magazine. When you call , you can receive all of the latest news in the bean bag toy market directly from Mary Beth. The information is updated every weekday and costs $1.49 per minute.
This service is not available online, or in the magazine, you must call.
Mary Beth's Bean Bag World is one of the most vivid, colorful magazines I have seen. I even like the advertisements!
It is full of so much beanie information, that it takes me days to read it all. There are other beanie magazines available such as Beans and Whites, but if you want the most dependable, most up-to-date information about bean bag toys, you must see Mary Beth's Bean Bag World.
