• The WB Studio Stores are also featuring a line of Speedy Gonzales items. Car floormats, a ceramic salsa bowl, a ceramic chips and dip set, salt & pepper shakers, a plastic shopping bag and a resin figurine. The salsa bowl and chip set are very nice. This seems to be the trend now, a new line of character items about every 4 months. Hopefully they will continue this and put out some with the smaller characters on them.

• Ashton Drake has 3 dolls out now. Each is dressed in LT items. They are around $80 each. URL:http://www.collectibles-today.net/cgi-bin/search/:/frameashton

• Got2HaveIt.com has a page of older LT collectibles for sale. We found a couple of nice older ornaments on here. URL:http://www.got2haveit.com/looneyto.htm

• We got a catalog in the mail that has lots of LT items in it. Mostly smaller toys for kids. It is from Billy & Sis and their phone number is 1-877-222-2FUN.

• If you have a Babies-R-Us near you check them out for Lovables items. The one in Oxnard had tons of stuff. 2 Lamps, 2 crib bedding sets, lots of kids bedding, and just about everything you need to take care of your baby. I was surprised at how much they had, they are easily the largest source that I have seen for Lovables. The one area that they were weak on was toys. The Toys-R-Us had way more of the Tyco toys than they do. They also do registering for those looking to throw a baby shower.

• Added a new clipart pack to Boxcar 1. 1 Pussyfoot, 2 Michigan J. Frogs, 1 Pepe, 1 Spike, 4 Taz, 2 Tweety and 14 Valentines.This will be the last of the Valentines clipart for this year.
