Good news everyone.
Our table for the next Eurofurence Dealers Den has just been confirmed as accepted.
We may have to arrange things differently but that’s a problem for future-us .
Good news everyone.
Our table for the next Eurofurence Dealers Den has just been confirmed as accepted.
We may have to arrange things differently but that’s a problem for future-us .
This blog posting will be updated to reflect the latest information.
Like every year, we can only bring a selection of all the 300+ toys in our inventory.
If you want to see a specific toy in person, please inform us.
This way we can make sure to bring it
If you want to buy a specific toy and pick it up without shipping cost,
please order in advance using the shipping method „pick up at convention“.
Otherwise we can not guarantee that we have packed it and that nobody else buys the last one before you get your chance.
Like the last two years, you can find us in the After Dark – Dealers Den.
This time it is sectioned on the left (seen from the entrance), opposite the Art Show.
While still bringing 2 (instead of 3) shelfs for the toys,
we will prominently display 15 selected toys by all our 18 manufacturers to give a better choice then just the printed catalogues of what we have in the shelfs.
Like every year, we will have a rummage bing of discounted toys by FurryStyle and Sidewinder Creations on the table.
If you have missed it, YiffyToys is celebrating it’s 18th birthday this year.
Since last EF, we did add two entirely new manufacturers
since last year.
One of the most exiting new toys surely is the 3rd generation of the FurryStyle Rover toy.
Since this toy has a penis bone, it will be the one toy you can (and should) actually touch in our display.
Sadly there was an accident and the master for the regular sized Rover broke a few weeks before EF. So we will only have a prototype of it.
We will have:
The dreaded task…
counting all the HUGE boxes of discounted toys we received for Eurofurence.
…to see what’s left and what was sold.
Cross-referencing that with the sales we made for consistency.
Making lists for the manufacturers we received these toys
and finally preparing to ship all of them back.
It was a lot of effort and we had to count serveral times but we made it.
Also we placed our order to restock Bad Wolf toys and small bottles of Cum Lube right away.
For our restocking-order with Exotic Erotics we’re still waiting for one reply from the them.
…and with that, Eurofurence has finally ended for us.
Now we all have to get back to our boring, daily tasks again.
The most dreaded task every year.
Counting the inventory when we return from Eurofurence.
Because it means pulling all the boxes we just shelved out again to be counted.
This doesn’t always mean having less of a toy then we thought but often enough one more then what the computer says. Things to get misplaced, especially when travelling with a metric ton on dildos to literally the other side of the country.
The 3 biggest manufacturers are done, so we can place our orders to restock.
All the other ones will come during the week.
One at a time.
We returned from Eurofurence last night and just returned the trailer a few hours ago.
Obviously the work isn’t done yet.
First order of business: GET SOME SLEEP.
Some tasks are already done:
All boxes have been returned to their proper shelves.
We checked all open online-orders and will package them today.
Amazon has been reactivated.
The blocks in the YiffyToys online shop informing customers that we are away on Eurofurence have been deactivated again.
The majority of waiting invoices and bank transactions has been handled. (oh joy, more paperwork)
Started a spredsheet to see how much we paid and earned during EF27.
We still need to:
Do a final count of the cash.
Perform a full inventory count.
Add the toys received from Neotori during EF to our inventory.
Place orders with all manufacturers to restock ASAP.
Handle some returned parcels waiting.
Handle some paperwork that was waiting in the mail
Tally up all the earnings and cost.
Refuel and clean the truck.
Given the amount of toys we have this year for the Bargain Bin on our Eurofurence Dealers Den table,
we will initially stock it with a selection of the best stuff but not all of it.
Instead it will be restocked daily.
So come back on day II and day III to see all of it.
Especially if you are a Eurofurence Sponder with early access to the Dealers Den on all days.
Note however that we will be closing an hour early on the last day.

Like last year, you can find us in the After Dark – Dealers Den, which will be a sectioned off area in the top, left corner of the Dealers Den.
The (regular sized) Avali by FurryStyle.
Of cause there will be a bargain bin again.
In addition to flops (toys with minor defects) and one-offs (toys made in a wrong colour, firmness or duplicates) by FurryStyle, we will also feature a lot of one-offs by Sidewinder Creations and Bad Wolf this year.
Due to having so many toys for the Bargain Bin,
we will do a daily changing Bargain Bin.
Every day there will be a different Bargain Bin with different, discounted toys on the table.
TL:DR – there is a LOT of work going into such a tiny Dealers Den table on the other side of the country.
There are a lot of tasks to juggle but luckily this isn’t the first time.
So we have divided them up into things that need doing a month before, to weeks before and one week before the convention.
As always reality has a different idea and things to get delayed. Especially things being shipped too late to actually arrive on the day we communicated very early.
✅ = done
⚠️ = not yet done
🚨 = there is a problem
Just a reminder for everyone.
If you are interested in any specific item (doesn’t matter if you want to buy or just look at it),
please place an order for it in the Yiffy.Toys shop or tell us.
This is to guarantee that
a) we actually pack it for Hamburg and
b) it’s still there when you get to the front of the queue at our Eurofurence (After Dark) Dealers Den table.
Tank you.
We returned from or short vacation.
The car is getting new tires at the moment.
We may have to add a lot of boxes of non #DealersDen show-related cargo for EF because someone else will not be able to drive. Glad to help.
#FurryStyle is fine, as always.
The stuck #ExoticErotics delivery for #Eurofurence is unstuck and just arrived in Frankfurt Airport.
The #Zetacreations delivery is in customs and we will pick it up, once the car is done.
LizardLars has promised to ship today.
#BadWolf is still manufacturing.
So is #Sidewinder.
Not restocking #FlurbMe before EF to not add to the chaos, as they will have their own table back to back with ours.
We forgot to upload the images for the Eurofurence cellphone app and did that last night.
All parts of the actual booth are done. However there was an information that no electric cartwheels can be used in the dealers den. So we have to move all it it by hand instead of using our electric pusher for stacks of Euroboxes.
We finally finished the work on our new Dealers Den booth for Eurofurence.
Given the large number of toys we offer on-site, it looked more like a warehouse last year.
So we improve it with custom printed (B1 flame retardant) tablecloth and covering our shelves in permanently B1 flame retardant fabric.
We’re also getting rid of the old velcro fasteners in favor of push buttons.
The printed catalogues for use in the waiting queue are also thicker,
allowing for larger images/texts.
There will be less table-space but more space for us to move and fetch the toys.
Sadly one large toy delivery is still stuck with Global Post in Carol Stream, Illinois, USA.
It hasn’t moved for 2.5 weeks, since the 23rd.
Toys from Bad Wolf arrived today. Zetacreations is still in transit at Teterboro Airport. FurryStyle is already restocked and Sidewinder Creations should easily be on time too.
