M2, Could be a block buster toy for Christmas and MAT. Fisher-Price and FAO Schwarz Team Up for National Launch of the Much Anticipated Harley-Davidson Power Wheels NEW YORK, Oct 6, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- On-Line Auction Of Bikes Signed By Jay Leno And Willie G. Davidson Announced Crowds gathered outside FAO Schwarz today as Fisher-Price(R) unveiled the most unusual Harley-Davidson ever: the Limited Edition Harley-Davidson Power Wheels(R). The kids "motorcycles" were unloaded off a flatbed truck, led by a mini rally of local Harley-Davidson riders, onto a red carpet in front of FAO Schwarz's flagship New York store. Pint-sized preschoolers charged with riding the spectacular toy vehicles on their first official "road-trip" rallied enough excitement to rival the annual Harley-Davidson Sturgis rally. Harley-Davidson enthusiasts of all ages cheered, as a handful showed off their "Hogs" - both full-sized and the new kid-sized offering - and "started their engines" as the much-anticipated and first Limited Edition Harley-Davidson Power-Wheels available for sale in the country were driven into the store. "The Harley-Davidson Power Wheels motorcycle from Fisher-Price is an exciting addition to our growing collection if unique, one-of-a-kind children's play vehicles," says John Eyler, Chairman and CEO, FAO Schwarz. Fisher-Price's Harley-Davidson Power Wheels was first introduced to rave reviews at the 1999 American International Toy Fair in February. "When I first saw the Harley-Davidson Power Wheels, my jaw just dropped. Power Wheels has redefined the meaning of 'cool' for boys ride-ons," said Jim Silver, publisher of The Toy Book, a leading industry trade journal and the newly released Toy Wishes: The Ultimate Holiday Toy Buying Guide. "Toy Wishes chose the Harley-Davidson Power Wheels as the exclusive "hot pick" for the ride-on category this holiday season." --------------snip---------------------------
