First Tamagotchi Now Digimon

Just became a member and this is my first post. Don't own Bandai though I do own SEVL (made money trading in and out and am now waiting to see what happens with the merger). Anyway, I saw a news article in the NY Daily News today about a new product Bandai is coming out with today:

"WHY YOu WANT IT: The cute and cuddly Tamagotchi virtual pets just got an ill-mannered surly sibling. Digimon, short for digital monster, is hatched like its big bro, but that's where the similarities end. From there, you train them like Rocky-style pit bulls - feeding, fighting and feeding again - for the company calls 'dock n rock.' Connect two of the gadgets side by side for these impromptu curbside rumbles. You might not be among the lucky first 5,000 to own one for Christmas, buy you should try.

WHO MAKLES IT: Bandai
PHONE: (800) 457-4685
PRICE: $15
WHERE YOU GET IT: 5,000 limited run selling at TOYS 'R' US through December. Rest of the country will stock it next month."

Thought this might be helpful - by the way, I have really hard time saying the name without using a Jamaican accent mon.
