While not Lego specific, this article talks about KB Toys purchasing the
intellectual property and software from the now defunct eToys.com. It also goes
on to mention that KB had purchase some (all ?) of the remaining inventory from
eToys.

Article from the San Jose Merc's web site, but probably available at other sites

(...) All I believe. I heard that it was a multi million dollar buy out, and they intended to get rid of the inventory fast. (through sales etc.) I haven't seen any big sales yet though, so I'm still waiting. |3en Cox (24 years ago, 18-May-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)
