Back in 1988 when Kenner first came out with these sports figures they could
barely give them away. Now it's not uncommon for collectors to pay a $100 at
the drop of a hat for say a Michael Jordan figure.
Paying big money for these little toys is a little hard to believe, but the
real surprise is that the toy line is stronger than ever a decade after it's
birth.
JIM HOOK/KENNER BRAND MANAGER:
The most popular and fastest growing sport in America these days is none
other than NASCAR. Last year racing souvenirs and memorabilia topped the $500
million dollar mark. This summer Kenner plans to jump on the band wagon with a
new line of racing figures known as the Winner's Circle.
JIM HOOK:
Hook recently unveiled the new NASCAR line at a collector's show in
Charlotte, and he is confident the drivers will attract new collectors who have
never heard of the toy. But be careful, it can be an addicting hobby.

A London shopkeeper can continue to honor the King.

SUPER=03-London;
The King of Rock and Roll that is.
Sid Shaw runs a shop called Elvisly Yours.
There he sells everything from Elvis Presley toothpaste and deodorant to
photos and other trinkets.
But unlike the King's records, the store was not a big hit with the Presley
Estate.
It sued, but today after a TEN YEAR battle, a British judge ruled in Shaw's
favor.
He said since Elvis did not own his name when he was alive, his estate
doesn't now that he is gone.

Shaw says "Elvis is up there somewhere, smiling down."
Now the shopkeeper may be able to achieve his other goal. He wants all
future kings to be named Elvis.
