At least GI Joe is still around. How to you get tieins | to things that don't exist? | | Mike Ciaraldi | ciaraldi@rochester Gee, Mike, I dunno about that. Last time I looked (which was last month when I went to see about a Vectrex) the Toys R Us in Tigard Orygun had PLENTY of Rom toys and still had a few of the Micronauts. Just because a toy is currently not being marketed doesn't stop a major push from being restarted. Usually it isn't worth it, but when you get a tie-in with major free advertising . . . Anyway, I only report what I am told, and in this case the information came from one of the several rags Marvel sends to its victims -er, I think I meant "distributors". And "Dealers". Hutch
