Re. fishing - its a platform, not a game - there are several games BF, Lunker, Jr BF, Deep Sea. Its life will endure longer than people imagine because of the pleasant memories fishing conjures. Just like Barbie is not a one shot thing. There I go again with analogies. The chances of a marriage are as unlikely as someone making a hit movie about insects.

Marc, Kaybee toys has recently been purchased by a company called Consolidated Stores. Consolidated is mainly a closeout company, they own Big Lots, Odd Lots, and McFrugals also. I don't know for sure, but if they buy like they buy for their other stores, their buying patterns are not the same as Wal-mart's. They mainly buy deals. I doubt if Radica will give them closeout pricing on Bass Fishin'. Kevin

Marc, as you have fresh memory of the conference call, do you recall the part where they discussed the cycles in the toy industry, I understood that there is an alternation of cycles of 'electronic' toys and 'classical' toys, with over longterm electronic trending up. Could you please advise if I got this right? If above is correct than, wouldn't this point to, investing the money into 'the opposite' ie aquiring a 'classical toy producer' as a kind of hedge vs cyclic downturn in Radica's electronic toy's.
