First it was Garbage Pal Kids, then it was the Crazy For You Bear, now a Thomas the Tank Engine set stands poised to become the next super-valuable collector's item in the coming year!

Here's why:  http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070614/hl_nm/toys_dc

All thsoe sets will likely as not be destroyed.  Meaning, unopened complete sets will soon be worth $$$$!

It happens with many recalled toys.  Those remaining quickly become elevated in price.  Go get em while ya can!
Three's a crowd:  One lordly leonine of the Leyjon, one cruel and cunning cubi goddess, and one utterly doomed human stuck between them.

I heard about that recall last night on the radio, and lol'd. Imagine using lead paint on a childs toy... Someone mustn't have had their coffee that morning.

sadly all stores here have stopped selling the toy on their shelves, and everyone who has one has probably opened it. No moneymaking for me, at least. GL to anyone else!

*hides behind the unopened Thomas toys*

Strange side fact: I actually liked old Thomas when I was younger. I actually still have a record of all his stories somewhere (Yes, I mean an actual record. one of those old things. *gasp* )

I assume that Ringo is somehow to blame for this.

Do you taste like soda bread, freshly baked, toasted with a slab of Coleraine cheese floating gently in the melted butter?

If so, I'd gobble you right up.

Oh dear.

Soda. Not vore. Soda. Unless this is another one of those moments where I have no idea what's going on.

Unlike a lot of people, I have absolutely no problem admitting it. Somewhere between Cher and Elvis, me.
