To those of you who like me are in Bright Things hoping for the Bubble to be a great Christmas success. I thought my thoughts would be of interest. Due to the drop in the share price I went into Hamleys in Regent St yesterday and discovered that they had never heard of the game. This made me phone the company to complain that their product was not available in the world's best known toy shop. Executives were in a meeting so I thought what a waste of a phone call. Two hours later the MD phoned me back and assured that they now had a Hamleys order and their toy would be in within aweek. He did not pass on any unknown information but assured me they were flat out to make it a sucessful launch. I was much encouraged by his attitude and his interest in small shareholders.
Hope this helps.

6.50-7.50 pence, up on the offer. Level 2 is 4 v 4. Market makers still keeping a wide spread to deter trading. IMO we're very close to news now. Maybe later on today or tomorrow.

Another retailer that is stocking the Tiger Woods Family DVD game:

MMs deliberately keeping the price at this level. 20,000 buy has just come through at 7 pence followed by a 10,000 buy and back to 7.50 pence on the offer. Level 2 is 4 v 4 again. IMO news is still imminent!

L2 is 4 v 4 and MMs still not keen on much trading activity keeping place. They have already taken in many, many sells at 6.50 pence over the last ten days and IMO BGT has a pattern of these very falls before explosive news.

If they don't get approval from EA soon, and then sort out a US distributor, they will miss out on the Christmas market. They should have got this sorted by now??????????????????
