enough inventory of our hottest-selling toys for the last quarter."

expectation, with increases anywhere between 30 to 90 percent,
depending on the retailer, for the first few weeks of January as

store for 2005 and we believe this will be our best year yet in
terms of sales for MGA and BRATZ, worldwide."

impressed by the new 2005 MGA line pre-Christmas and the
positive feedback from our guests that have continued into
January."
