© Disney/Pixar & Mattel Red Line Club No, it is not scheduled to come out in the next two months. Beyond that, who really knows? My opinion is that it will be out at some future time. The time doesn’t matter because whenever it comes out, Mattel will sell it by the bushels. (A bushel [...]

Appropriately, a web site called Fudzilla is reporting that Microsoft is going to open retail stores. It’s time for shareholders to weep a little more.
