Dear Fans,
It seems like Nürnberg Toy Fair has only just come to an end (see page 2), and yet Easter is already upon us! But you still have time to put one of the 3 new BASIC
Solar, Bulldozer or Tractors construction sets from page 4 on your wish list. Our Development Department has already developed a FAN CLUB model from 2
construction sets. The new PROFI Optics construction set puts you on the trail of optical phenomena and light. Discover the endless vastness of outer space with
fischertechnik on page 5. But before you head for the Milky Way, I recommend that you visit the fischertechnik FAN CLUB day. I'm really looking forward to meeting
you in Waldachtal on 14 July. We wish you an entertaining read and lots of fun with the new FAN CLUB NEWS!
The fascination of light
Why do we have day and night on earth, what causes a solar and lunar eclipse? How can light be deflected around the corner? What does focal length mean? You
can find the answers to these and many more questions in the new PROFI Optics construction set. 3 optical lenses with 2 focal lengths, an LED in rainbow colours,
mirrors, fibre optics, 2 lens tip lamps and 300 parts can be used to make 12 models. Read more about this on Page 5.

Toy Fair: spotlight on fischertechnik and fischer TiP
German stars and celebrities in Nürnberg: pop star Lena Meyer-Landrut sings playback with the Furbys, boxer Axel Schulz poses for combat robots, the Turtles,
Ernie and Bert, footballer Marco Reus, Smurfette and Princess Maja von Hohenzollern smile and wave at the cameras. For three hours, the new products show at
Nürnberg International Toy Fair was turned into a stage for stars and celebrities - with fischertechnik and fischer TiP right at the heart of it all. To draw the press's
attention to fischer TiP, before the Fair started, Sarah Pfau and other busy hands adhered about 10,000 pink and red TiPs to a dress, which Sarah Pfau wore during
the new products show. During the Toy Fair itself, a shop window dummy presented the dress at the fischertechnik stand. Another eye catcher during the new
products show and the Toy Fair was the bucket wheel excavator from ADVANCED Power Machines, our new mega construction set. More about this on page 4. At
the world's largest toy fair, 2,776 exhibitors from 62 countries presented more than one million products to 76,055 visitors from 120 countries. This included more
than 70,000 new products.

More curiosity - more future: Genius, Daimler's young knowledge community
Genius tells you all you need to know about cars and the technology contained in them. For example, how engines powered by fuel cells work without any gasoline,
with nothing but water coming out of the exhaust. Or how cars can help drivers to avoid accidents. Many electronic aids, so-called assist systems, make driving
safer. The Genius website shows you how it works:
You can also experience Genius at the fischertechnik FAN CLUB day on 14 July 2013. If you always wanted to know how
cars are made, then this is just right for you! The mini-assembly line workshop needs teamwork! The Genius team looks forward to meeting you!
