Hi Jay - at my local Costco, they are selling a huge, floppy toy dog for $33.99. It's four feet long, bigger than a real dog, bigger than a child. When my kids were little, a comparable toy would have cost more than $100, maybe $200.

This is the new abracadabra.

I have no idea how to make money from it, but it's incredible.

Not the toy itself, I mean the ability to cut the costs of production so much.

Made in China, of course.

I bought a jacket made in Bangladesh this weekend, but not the dog.
