@cyborg... I don't and never knew exactly what titles were in the pipeline. I know of a few of the originals that were planned for release but never got there, but I can't really speak to what might not have been included. I just vaguely remember general chatter that not all the WoW stories would make the cut. Of course there wasn't enough time and resources for that to be explored anyway. Ahh, ok. I was just wondering if any particular ones had come up. I don't know if it's just me, but there are some stories that I feel are a little bit weaker than others, for some reason or other. Not many, though, that said, and it's all down to personal taste in the end, anyway! I hope, if that does happen, that they're also made available on a more accessible service, and aren't just restricted to one country. You see, I can't use iTunes, myself, as I'm a Linux user. Amazon MP3 does get a decent amount of business from me when they carry things that I want, though, since they do allow and want me to purchase from them. The problem both have, though, is that you can't buy from other regions - there are things on both services' US stores that aren't available here (and vice-versa, no doubt), which is a real menace!

I know what you mean. Canada has it's own Amazon version, but it doesn't have near the amount of items that the US one does. I went on the US Amazon, and there was a whole bunch of WoW Teddy Ruxpin books, including some I still need for my collection, and a couple of the Backpack Teddy sets, but because it's from the US, they don't ship to Canada. And none of that stuff is available from Canadian retailers either.

Mail-forwarding services are generally very handy for that sort of thing, but of course, they do come with fees attached...
It's just even more pointless to restrict non-tangible goods in that way, though. I know it's because of daft licensing issues, but it seems so ridiculous considering that no physical goods are even part of the picture, and it's just bits and bytes being shifted around over a global network...

I know. A few years ago (I apologize for getting off-topic), CBS began streaming episodes of the original Star Trek series on their website. However, it was only open to people in the US, not anywhere else. Same with other networks who put their shows on their websites. Some are open to everyone, others, not so much. Luckily the newer shows also air in Canada, so the Canadian channels that air that show sometimes have episodes online to watch through them. Any thoughts about whether the network that originally aired Teddy Ruxpin in the US, is considering streaming them, or the reason why they're not?

The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin was syndicated, so many different networks and independent cable channels ran the series. I'd love to see it back on TV, it would give a lot more exposure to Teddy in general. They usually only allow streaming after they feel they've saturated the market with home video.

I see. I thought maybe it had to do with the fact that it's owned by Ken Forsse and AlchemyII. I'm just glad that they're still releasing The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin on DVD. Which brings me to the animatronic movie. It was a movie of the week on a network, so, why hasn't it been actually released on DVD? Is it due to lack of awareness of the show, or is it just because nobody's been able to do it?

I just vaguely remember general chatter that not all the WoW stories would make the cut. Of course there wasn't enough time and resources for that to be explored anyway. I can only guess at what title may not have been planned for release, I'm thinking of the Answer Box and Picture Show titles because I just don't know if the BPT Teddy Ruxpin had the underlying hardware to support accessories like that of any type, certainly there's no connection socket on the toy that would allow such devices to be plugged into the toy, and I don't know of any wireless transceivers inside the toy that would allow for wireless accessories such as these, but that hardware may be there, I just don't know. I would be awesome if we could get a technical engineer from BackPack Toys on here to possibly tell us.
