How are toys/video games/electronics selling?

Anyone know how they are doing? From action figures, to Wii games, and cellphones? Do people still invest in them?

1. There is definately a trend away from the traditional toys going into consumer electronics. Nintendo DS and MP3 players are what kids are looking for. There are always your "no brainers" like hot wheels and barbie (mattel). Bakugan is a hot toy (made by Bandai, I think) but generally, those types of toys are here today, gone tomorrow....remember pogs???. If you are looking to invest, Activision, Electronic Arts and Apple would be some good companies to look at first. As far as cellphones, the money is made with the service providers, not the phones themselves...phones continue to sell well with the new addional features the phones now carry.
