Bryan & All,

NEW YORK (Reuters) - KB Toys Inc. on Wednesday filed for bankruptcy on the
heels of a soft holiday shopping season wrought by harsh competition from
bigger retailers, according to court papers.

Heh, interesting. They are closing a ToyworX in Goshen Indiana, they just went
to 75% off, and I got a lot of LEGO products form there. I wonder if other
stores in the area will be closing, I think there are 2 left around here.

I, for one, will not miss them, as IMO they were a shoddy retailer, for many
reasons that I could go into. I wonder if that lawsuit about the pricetags had
something to do with it.

Thanks for the link!

Sincerely,
Scott S.
