Hi Everyone,
I'm finally over that flu! I'd like to thank everyone who sent get well emails and cards-they certainly did help! Thank goodness the new WB catalog came in too-I had something to read in bed for a while at least! There were some nice items in it. They continued the Easter lines from last year but didn't add anything new. For the beanie collectors you can now buy the special issues in the catalog too. So far there are only 3 of them-Tweety Toga, Liberty Tweety and Liberty Bugs. This should help those of us who don't live near the stores that they were released in to complete our collections. Also a note for people who got dropped off the mailing list-Listbot suddenly dropped about 20 names from the newsletter. If you were taken off by accident please sign up again!

The WB Stores have a plush Musical Flower Tweety that is pretty cute. It is Tweety in a flower pot and plays "You are my Sunshine" when you press a button. $20
The WB Stores also have lots of new beanies in. For the Lovables fans they have started a line of them at $5 each. Missing from the crew are Baby Lola and Marvin. There is a 1999 Heart Tweety, a Tweety and blowup chair($12-catalog only), a St. Patricks Tweety($7), a Birthday Sylvester and Bugs($7 each-matches last years Taz and Tweety), and a Cute Tweety in purple shirt($7).
For those who can afford their ACME Railways set there are 2 new cars. Granny's Musical Revue Baggage car($200) and A.C.M.E. Explosive Car($125) which actually does explode over and over. This is a very nice set but it is also not one of the more common sizes(HO or N).
The WB Catalog is carrying the Fiestaware line again. They have the Tweety Dewicious set of stoneware. Prices range from $8 to $29 for the pieces.
For Michigan J. Frog fans the catalog has a new cel($250), a steiff plush($295), a Ron Lee miniature($55) and a gorgeous teapot that features him on a piano($185).
