Vintage Kenner / The Star Wars Collectors Archive Has Moved To A New Domain
« on: November 19, 2006, 09:55 PM »
Please update your link for The Star Wars Collectors Archive.

Quote
I wanted to get the word out the the SWCA is changing its domain name from toysrgus.com to  theswca.com. The reason for this is two-fold:

1. For a while I've wanted to switch to a domain name that more closely matches what the site is about (it is, of course, a site that deals with more than toys).
2. Geoffrey, Inc., the company that owns Toys R Us, has decided to send another C+D letter after 8 years of dormancy (and the subsequent PR fiasco from the previous attempt). Even though I think their assertion that they are entitled to all domains on the worldwide web that end in 'rus' remains ludicrous, or even more preposterous, that a site ending in 'rgus', belongs to them, I really don't care enough to spend time and money fighting it.

So we've already converted the site over to  theswca.com. Please update your links and spread the word since the toysrgus.com domain will be going away soon. Thanks.

Vintage Kenner / Former President of Kenner Bernard Loomis, Dies at 82
« on: June 5, 2006, 06:37 PM »
I just saw this posted at RS.   :'(

Bernard Loomis, 82; Turned Ads for Toys Into TV Cartoons

Quote
Loomis had already moved on to General Mills, where he was president of Kenner Toys. He turned down the chance to license Steven Spielberg's new movie, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," considering it not "toyetic," meaning that its characters would not make good toys.

But he spotted a small notice for a movie called "Star Wars" in a Hollywood trade magazine that sounded more likely: Its characters wore distinctive costumes.

In keeping with standard practice, the "Star Wars" toys were not supposed to appear until about a year after the movie opened. But the immediate success of the film prompted Loomis to reconsider.

Unable to speed up production, and with the all-important Christmas season nearing, Loomis ordered paper certificates sold in colorful boxes for the price of the toy. Kenner promised to deliver the toys by mail eight months later, and then a second wave of demand crested, as youngsters competed to get what their friends had.

Take some time to read the interview of Bernard Loomis from RS & know the history of the man who brought you the Star Wars toys.
