Art...I do not know how much Pokemon products they are licensed to manufacture. But, I see they have now expanded their distribution into the U.S. this year. I don't know if these products are included too.

A great post from the no pennies thread. To: Kevin McKenzie (90759 ) From: If only I'd held Tuesday, Aug 24 1999 10:04PM ET Reply # of 90776 Kevin...GRIN....Second Teir???....Not at all. Somebody has to sell Pokeman games and accessories, as well as nick nack products in Canada. You and I can't do it. GRIN has the license. It's all theirs. And they are gonna make a killing off of it. The baby Furbies are going to be just as hot this Christmas. GRIN has one heck of a year lined up as far as I am concerned. After all it has done for investors the past year, it still doesn't even trade at 1x sales. Anybody remember the Atari?? GRIN has been doing everything right to improve shareholder value over the past year. Hasbro hasn't always sold a billion dollars worth of product you know. GRIN could very well fit real nicely into an IRA in my opinion. It would be second Tier if it were one of many that could sell Pokeman in Canada, but that license changes all that. And they have it. Did you know that HAS went public in 1983 with 309,000 shares at 24 bucks a share?? GRIN just got a revolving line of credit for over 17 million dollars. That's a lot of trust going on there.
