I did make enquiries myself as soon as this was first posted on TMP a 
few weeks back, just to see what kind of money was being talked 
about; I got a very quick response, but the sort of figures being 
discussed (which I'm not going to talk about on-list for obvious 
reasons) didn't make it look economically attractive or viable to me 
- basically it seemed a lot of money for little more than rights to 
the designs and the masters; if the deal had included production 
moulds and such it might have looked more feasible, but all these 
appear to be held by a third party contract caster and thus are not 
included in the sale. After careful consideration, I decided to pass.
