Hi Everyone,
Well Thanksgiving is over-what a week! We always put up our Christmas decorations during this time and it took 3 days this year-going to have to cut back some next year or hire some help! But it's all up now so we can get back to doing some stuff on the site. This week I want to revamp the links page. I want to break it down into sections that load according to what car you are in. I know it is kind of confusing now but hopefully this will make it easier to find what you are looking for.

If you see any new items in stores, have any other news or would like to submit something to the newsletter please email it to me so I can spread the word!
Thanks,
Richard

-Toys-R-Us has a few of the McGraw-Hill books in. These are for pre-school and kindergarten aged kids and feature the LT characters. They had the larger editions which combine the smaller books together. $9.95 each.

-Toys-R-Us also has a lot more of the Tyco Lovables items in. We found the radio controlled Bugs Bunny dune buggy($25), the Bugs, Tweety, and Sylvester pull-back-n-go cars(there are 2 others-Wile E. and Daffy) at $6 each and the Lola, Bugs, and Marvin Little Squeakers(plastic squeak toys about 6" tall-there is also a Tweety one out) for $6 each. I think any fan

would enjoy the radio controlled cars!

-RiteAid has the Lovables Pull-A-Long Train on clearance for $5! We only found it in one store but snagged it up pretty quick! It is regularly $12.

-If you're Christmas shopping for a Tweety fan check out Walmarts. They have a bunch of items for the bath and girls bedrooms. Sheets, comforters, pillow cases, shower curtains, towels, and washcloth sets. Thanks to Trisha for the tip!

-Miles Kimball's mail order catalog has the miniature ornament sets in it. They are around 1" tall and 18 to a pack. Bugs, Tweety, Sylvester and Marvin at $4.98 a set. Phone is 1-920-231-4886 and order number 479204. Thanks to Joan for the tip!

-Hallmarks has some new items in. There are 2 candy dispensers-they are kind of like gumball machines. About 12" tall and plastic. Taz and Tweety at $9.99 each. They also have a Bugs marionette in. It is very nice! $28. They have the Christmas Taz and Tweety straws in too at $2.75. Also a talking Marvin plush($24) and lots of small Marvin items.

-SavOn Drugs has the Gloria Duchin brass ornaments for this year. We saw at least 3 new glass and brass ones(a small pane of glass has part of a scene painted on it and the rest on the plate behind it), 2 new shaped ones(3d impressions of their faces) and 6 new flat ones. Prices ranged from $5 to $8 and they had all the major characters. This is the only place we've seen them this year.

-Bonnie has a list of Looney Tunes Christmas sites up at http://www.oocities.org/TelevisionCity/Set/3636/ring.html .
-McGraw-Hills collection of Looney Tunes Learning books for kids can be bought at Walmart's online at www.wal-mart.com . Nice series for learning lots of different subjects. Just search for Looney.
-If you haven't been to the auction site EBay I would suggest it. They always have tons of LT items and sometimes you can get a great deal on items(I once bought 2 Gallery pics for $40!). You do have to create an account with them but it is free. Check it out at www.ebay.com .
-Applause is setting up their website at www.applause.com . They make a lot of novelty and collector items. They are asking for input from people who visit so let's let them know that there are lots of LT collectors out there! Thanks to Bruce for the tip!
-Another good place to check for that last minute shopping is the ACME Trading Company. They have a lot of smaller items and you can probably find something for any fan. www.acmetradingco.com . Thanks to Bruce for the tip!

-The Site of the Month for December is Mr. Michigan J. Frog. A small site dedicated to the infamous frog. Check it out at http://captain.sc.whecn.edu/~pjohnson/michigan.html.
