Thanks for the list of suggestions (2-4 packs). They've been printed and filed - much like our old Star Trek lists, which I went back to frequently in the last 2 years I run the line. Some are already on the proposed 2002 list, individually or in packs. One is in front of another major retailer who might consider exclusives. And, some had already been nixed by Gracie Films and Fox.
