Mattel didn’t spend a great deal of time showing off CARS 1:55 (the Mini Adventures line is another story – our more indepth coverage of the Toy Fair Mini coverage is coming separately). We still have no word as where the “missing E to J” “new” CARS are … from the display at Toy Fair […]

There might not be many CARS on the store shelves but there are plenty at SF’s WonderCon comic book/toy show convention/exhibit which runs until tomorrow night. (They also run Comic-Con). There were at least 4 of these rack-cages … okay, the inside weren’t CARS but there definitely was not a shortage of them at the […]

This might be the carrying case that fits a lot of needs, you get 4 “Compartment Boxes” that get clipped together by that front piece and handle. It looks deep enough to hold everyone except maybe Barney Stormin’ and probably Al Oft … you can probably fit about 65-ish CARS if you modify some of […]

Well, the show doesn’t officially open until tomorrow. Here’s an interesting quote, “Disney’s “Cars,” which, despite no new film or TV content, generated $2 billion in retail sales in 2007 and has become a major priority for Disney that it plans to support with additional content in the future.” HUMM … “The biggest trend industrywide […]

Now, this list won’t be very useful to many – this is simply a list for the ultra completists who will fight you to the death for a WOC Lizzie … well, okay, maybe not ‘fight to the death,’ – maybe just a simple “ACK!” For the ultra completists who have to have every CAR […]

This is the funniest drawing I’ve ever seen in the WSJ … okay, not exactly much of a competition but still … Some conspiracy theorists have ideas why India & parts of the Middle East have lost most of their internet connection as several underseas cables have been severed. It could be sharks with lasers […]

Why MS buying Yahoo will not change anything. INTERNET SEARCH is the purest form of customer service & “sales” EVER. There are virtually zero barriers to entry (there are over 300 by our count). Users/customers can switch in the time it takes to type and bookmark a new url. So, if you can’t deliver results […]
