Victor,

I know it was tongue in cheak but even if one could handle this with software, there is no way to manufacture toys fast enough during the holidays. The toys truly are manufactured all year and the factories want them off their hands by the beginning of Q4. It really is a difficult business. Very difficult to predict demand for a specific toy and due to trends, the hot seller likely will not be the same noy the following season. It is worse than apparel.
