"I believe last xmas was a toys r us qtr, if not then I doubt they can do 1.5bb this time." Liz, I can no longer recall the exact quarter of the switch. I do know that the toy sales were booked for Tor R Us last fall so that is not a problem for Amazon. My understanding and lonly through articles, is that Toys R Us is losing more money on-line than they would like. The rumor was they were going to re-negotiate their contract with Amazon so that Amazon's fees would be less. That was the last I heard of it. The problem with rumors is they are exactly that. The amount of the deal was not diclosed so clearly a re-negotiation would not be be disclosed was well. I believe the growth for Amazon overseas is offsetting any revenue loss from toys due to their deal with Toys R Us.
