Does this mean that regular toy store retailers will have a choice whether or
not to carry these and typically won't, or does this mean that regular toy
store retailers will actually be prevented from ordering these? Please please
please don't prevent smaller retailers from ordering these -- many smaller
toy store are having a hard enough time fighting heavyweights like TRU,
Wal*Mart, etc. as well as now eToys, KBKids, etc. :-(
