Fortune.com: “We caught up with John Eyler (who ran FAO Schwartz from 1992 to 2000 and has been CEO of Toys R Us for the past three years) to talk about Wal-Mart, price wars, and the new Elmo…'Today, almost 20% of what we sell is exclusive, whether it is an exclusive G.I. Joe (And Transformers G1 Reissues) or our own Animal Alley plush animals. On exclusive products, we make between 15% and 20% higher margins, then we take those dollars and reinvestment them to lower our prices on the most competitive products,' [explained Eyler].”
Big Thanks to my friend Dave Thornton at Quick Kick's Theatre for the info

Brian Savage Peterson of SgtSavage.com: “I was watching an interview with Quentin [Tarantino] on BBC, and he was saying how he's really a huge 80s geek and that he'd love to get into writing comics at one point down the road. So, the reporter asked him, 'Spiderman, Superman?' – he replies – 'No way! I would love to write G.I.Joe and Transformers!'”
Big thanks to my friend David Thornton of QK Theatre for the heads up.

Dust off your old Quake II CDs the boys at TFQ are saying a big update is due soon. As always click ye old read more button for details., TFQ will soon have a massive content only update in the very near future. This update's biggest feature will be support for Q2max, a major engine modification for Quake 2. Q2max allows for some very nice features seen in Quake 3, you have to see it to believe it, it truly is like playing a whole new game. One of the biggest advantages, is the allowance for 32bit skin textures, meaning character colors and detail that were once impossible, are now a reality. Several new model replacements are also present, as well as skin replacements for some of the existing TFQ themed enemies. Please note: We recommend backing up your maxconfig.cfg file, which will be located in the baseq2 directory, once you install Q2max. We modified that particular file for TFQ, to allow for some single player start up perimeters. While it is optional to keep the .cfg file we provided, we still recommend using it, while playing TFQ. In the mean time, we recommend you download, and try Q2max, which is available here. Finally, we are still going to, and always will, support regular Quake 2, for those fans who wish to still use plain old Quake 2 with TFQ. We have enough resources to support both versions of TFQ, and will continue to do so into the future.”
If you have not checked out this conversion do yourself a favor and do so, while not complete yet it is a kick to play and different guns are replaced with different Transformers, IE: The BFG is Megaton, complete with G1 sound Effects. The opening movie in the game is replaced with the G1 season 1 opening as well.

Well it looks like if you were planning on going to Botcon 2003 this year you are now going to The Official Transformers Brand Collector's Convention.
From Botcon.com:
“A mutual decision has been made by Glen Hallit of 3H Productions, Inc., and Jon Hartman, owner of the service mark “BotCon,” to remove the name “BotCon” from this year's convention. Consequently, the convention formerly known as BotCon? 2003 will now be called The Official Transformers Brand Collector's Convention. All inquiries for information about this year's convention should be directed to 3H's Web site at www.otfcc.com.“
As of this posting otfcc.com says it is “under construction”.
Remember you heard it here first
