Given the environment, they came in with a pretty good quarter. The inventories look well-controlled.

New team members could perhaps resurrect the chain to be once again one of the better specialty retail companies.

The staggering number (for Mattel) was that US Barbie dipped 30%.

So they actually did better than 3.5 percent in the toy industry itself. Clearly they did better than the rest of the industry.

Frankly, the results surprised me. I was hoping for a low, low single-digit rise.

The idea is to show the toys earlier and earlier, partly to get the lucrative deals, and so that changes can be made to products if it's required.
