Well, it after midnight on the East Coast … Since I’m out on the West Coast, those who hit the 11:00 AM mark on the East Coast as I wake from my slumber, be sure to drop us a line. If you have internet access with your phone, sign up for TWITTER and keep us […]

Sadly, nothing too spectacular – the RC’s of Mater & McQueen (both available mostly elsewhere) … Plus this track which I think is new but not terribly exciting … the Tyco Division at Mattel didn’t even bother with original art – they just added some motion lines to the mainline artwork … um, weak, weak […]

Jon in the UK was kind enough to send us a scan of the new poster from the UK CARS magazine – along with the latest UK promotional offer of BUY 6, send in UPC’s and get a free CAR: Or log onto www.carstoys.co.uk for more details – though strangely, nothing is up yet, guess […]

Of course, nearly everything you want to know about Storytellers is in THIS POST. Since I’m not yet complete on the singles pack, here is the visual checklist for the three-packs first.

Because of the switchover from the Gift 3-Pack Blister card design to the hanging box design, there is a slight delay in the shipments: Nothing has really changed, some of the cases beyond G has been switched around a little and there are a couple surprises BUT good surprises 🙂 CURRENTLY G CASE: No Stall, […]

As several readers noted, Kmart is not exactly a well-oiled execution machine where they are running on all cylinders … some Kmart’s, on the ball – running on high octane … others, a bunch of monkeys banging on coconuts … so your choice is the hallways with doors – choose the right one and it’s […]

Normally, a report entitled as such would cost $50k not including expenses (since I only drink Coke with cane sugar and eat pastrami from New York City …) … But for this holday season, as no one has any money left over (hey, AIG, I waited all night for my ‘special massage,’ I finally gave […]

Do I have an employment questions about Kmart? “How strong would you say the toy manager’s office door is to you know, like a hard shove?” “Can I just work this Saturday from 8 AM to 11 AM?” “What is the employee discount this Saturday?” “Can I log onto eBay on this terminal?” “If I […]
