In the previous two posts, I mearly listed as many toy companies as I could find and where they make their products. While you can often times buy their toys directly from them, most can also be bought through various toy sellers. As always if you know of someone I haven't thought of, please let me know!!
Sites labeled *** are my favorites!!

Moolka Toys - http://www.moolka.com/
Moolka, yet another european toy reseller, has taken a different tack and has mearly listed where the various companies make their toys rather than label each one individually. As some companies make their toys in various countries this isn't nearly as handy, but its better than nothing.

You should also list www.euroToyShop.com. They have a fine selection of European toys and each is tagged with its country of manufacture. A bit more age variety than the other places as well.
LEGO?

Their current production plants are the yellow squares: 2 in western Europe, 1 in Eastern Europe and 1 in the US. According to their annual report they are also in progress of outsourcing to a plant in Mexico.
Great blog!
Canadians can find Vermont's Maple Landmark Toys as well as European infant toys at www.doudoubebe.com.
I just ran across your blog. My husband and I make wood toys - all paints and finishes ap tested and from the US. We're very small, but we started because of the great lead scare when my daughter was young.
If you'd like to check us out, we're at www.happysquashtoys.com
