Another anecdotal complaint...ToysRUs flyer from Sunday paper showed Audrey Hepburn Barbie dolls on sale for $19.99, marked down from $60! Just who did MAT think was going to buy these dolls? Collectors? They still have Jill on their s*** list! FWIW, just another straw on the already-broken camel's back.

I know that the shareholder suits are counter-productive, but I for one would love to read Jill's deposition, wouldn't you?

There will, _eventually_, be a toxic-waste management cleanup at MAT, but it will IMHO require the major shareholders to elect a new BOD. To coin a fractured version of a Emerson quote, "Beware the wrath of a patient shareholder!"
