Best Quotes
Parents and kids still love the retailer because it still sells three times as many toys as a Wal-Mart or a Target. It still has the best selection of toys and games out there. The toy manufacturers certainly want to see it around and that's why many are giving it more exclusive deals to sell a number of their toys.

Built Quotes
Robotic toys can be very interesting, but it is important that the toy not 'dictate' how the child should play with it. Rather, it should take its cues from the child and enhance, teach, and enrich the play experience. We incorporated some of these features into a robotic baby doll we built for Hasbro in 1999.

Audience Quotes
When I first envisioned 'Funny Games' in the mid-1990s, it was my intention to have an American audience watch the movie. It is a reaction to a certain American cinema, its violence, its naivety, the way American cinema toys with human beings. In many American films, violence is made consumable.

Afford Quotes
We got some toys for $1 apiece. They were really nice cars, battery-operated cars with remote controls, but something was wrong and the remote controls didn't work. The kids can't afford to buy these and they don't have batteries, so it didn't matter to them. They'd pull them by a string or whatever.

Area Quotes
Educational toys and learning systems was one of the fastest growing markets of 2002 going into 2003. It's a robust market that's managed to withstand the challenging economic environment because it's not an area that consumers typically think about when they consider paring back their spending.
-
Choices Quotes
The toy industry continues to wrestle with the new digital reality of kids' lives. Kids aren't really 'getting older younger,' they're just playing differently than they have in the past. However, despite this shift, it's important to note that toys continue to be one of the top choices for kids when choosing leisure time activities.

Bought Quotes
The toy category continues to struggle. Our survey shows that this year 33.5 percent of weekend shoppers said they bought toys compared with 37.5 percent last year. The big surprise was electronics, which came in flat with last year at 19.7 percent. One reason for this could be that people simply couldn't find what they were looking for.

Changing Quotes
The things that I've enjoyed most are not really science fiction. They are not much fun to make because there are so many toys involved. They are fun for directors who like toys, like Ridley Scott, but they are not a lot of fun to make. A lot of hanging around, changing this and that.

Best Quotes
For kids, it's best to teach them how to fold their clothes first. Kids will be able to fold their clothes at about three years old. You don't want to teach them how to put away toys first because it's difficult. Clothes are something kids wear every day, so it's easy for them to have a sense about their belongings.

Adage Quotes
It's the Super Bowl of all gadget events. From a consumer angle, never more than today are men living up to the adage 'whoever dies with the most toys wins.' Guys are all about the discovery of new technologies. Everyone loves to come to this conference to be aware of what's coming out next year.

Along Quotes
It makes for a fun year. It makes it fun because you spend a lot of time trying to get things done that you want, that you believe in, but they're hard to get done, and it's tricky, and usually you don't get the toys to play with, you know what I mean? You only get them for a very short period of time, as you and I both know. So, if you get lucky enough to have them work, then you feel you caught a break along the way. I feel like I caught a break.
-
Afford Quotes
Not that there is anything funny about the whole thing, but there is some humor in seeing all these toys thrown around. Those who can afford to have a boat aren't at risk because we lost our boat. Some people lost everything, but you can feel the power of the storm out here because things were strewn in ways you can't imagine.

Book Quotes
Once the character was established, I felt that I had to build a strong foundation for the Spawn brand name, ... To build a strong foundation you need four pillars. In the comic book industry, those pillars are television, video games, movies and toys or ancillary products. If you have a good foundation and pillars, you'd be surprised what you can build. You could even build skyscrapers

Enjoy Quotes
I like to think that people who really know me understand I am the same person - and that is something I will always fight to maintain. Obviously the money is there, but I want to stay the same. At the same time, I want my son to enjoy what I didn't have. My father-in-law often looks at all the toys and games Benjamin has.
-
Armies Quotes
I have too much stuff!, ... It's all spread over different locations and attics. I recently moved out of London and had to bus 30-40 crates of toys to storage in Ireland. I'm not the kind to keep things in their packaging; I have to have get them out, set them up and battle. For me this requires vast armies so I have to buy numerous multiples of most of the stuff. I have fond memories of digging Sarlacc pits in the garden and burying figures. A shame they didn't grow into trees 'cause I lost a lot of Boba Fett s doing that.

Advice Quotes
If you really want to get your hands on one of these without camping out at a retail store, the best advice we have ... is to sign up for one of the 'delivers' programs (a subscriber email from Toys R Us.com). This gives you a sneak peak into what we're doing. You learn first when we're going to put them on sale. But even then, you're going to have to be fast on the mouse.

Bad Quotes
It has cost me a small fortune but most people in the music industry have a bad habit of some sort, ... I buy everything I can get my hands on that I don't have, usually as it's released. With touring you get to visit so many stores in different towns it works out really well. At Midnight Madness this past April, I rushed to a Toys R Us and Wal-Mart straight after our show in Portland and spent a couple of grand on the new stuff. The bus is usually packed with boxes by the end of any tour and I become pretty unpopular for hoarding all the cupboards.
