Hello All,

As of noon on 9-25-00 the website had 123,000 hits for August and September
with 0.5% (1/2 percent) of those coming to the site ordering something.
Most (99%) of the orders have been custom action figures with an average
ticket price of $200. We have been the subject of numerous magazine and
paper articles and the interest of the press continues to grow. For a
detailed list of articles to-date see the Press - Media page on the website.
Syndicated columnist Bob Schwabach in his article On Computers said of the
website "one of the neatest ideas we've come across in a while"

I am now being asked more questions regarding the technologies behind
ToyBuilders.com and this goes all the way to the high school level. I have
been contacted by several High Schools that want to introduce these
manufacturing technologies to students so we are truly start a revolution in
our industry! If any of you would like to be notified of a school in your
area that is interested in having a guest speaker and would like to go in a
talk about the technical attributes of our industry please let me know. I
forward the requests as I get them as it would be impossible for me to make
it to all of them.

Sorry about the previous unfinished version of this email I accidentally
pressed the send button.

 Karl

I'm using this address as I have not yet re-joined the list with the
ToyBuilders.com email since the multiple message thing happened.
