I'm not sure how the capsule toys compare to KinderEggs, but lets just say that KinderEggs have been around for...well, almost forever, and have a very loyal following. Again, I'm not sure whether the capsule toys are the same or not although they do sound similar. What's important here, however, is marketing. Many, many times, an old product is revitalized and reinitiated through a brilliant and well orchestrated marketing attack. Let's also realize that ALFN has roughly 120 toys in its arsenal and therefore won't be relying solely on capsule toys even if they do concentrate on them as their flagship product. When all's said and done, it comes down not only to having an appealing product but to management, distribution (which is looking VERY promising at the moment;), and marketing. It'll be nice to watch it all fall into place. -smacs-

Hi, Marty. Seems you are in the hunt for info.. That's great. You may wish to call Mr. Porter and let us know what he says. IMO. it's not the toy in hole, there is a little more to the news as stated and a game for children with it. I hope the children have a lot of fun with this as that's what life is all about! Let's wait and see what the news says forward, and hope the kids have as much fun with this single idea and company who came up with it as the invetors todate seem to have. IMVHO it would not be much fun to remove the fun of children so I'm going to hang in there and wait for the rest of the story! Regards, Stay Warm and God Bless.. Jim....
