e-Hobby came back to me today regarding our order for the Kiss-Pplay cassettes and Autorooper. They have informed me that they sold out of the Autoroopers before my December 1st order, so they are only able to supply me with the e-Hobby Exclusive Kiss-Play cassettes.
If you ordered the cassettes and Autorooper double pack from us, please get in contact. I will contact everyone who ordered the toys from us to let them know their final prices (35.00 pounds per set) and give people who ordered the Autorooper toys their options.
We shall be getting 36 sets of the cassettes, we have currently pre-sold 21 of them with 5 double-set orders (which means around 26 are currently taken). If you would like a set please drop us an email.

SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
COUNTY OF ROCKLAND
Index No. 5192/00
Index No. 2821/02
*** PRESS RELEASE ***
December 7, 2006, Carmel, NY
After six years of grueling litigation and four appeals which were won
by her in 2006, the composer of the well-known Transformers Theme, The
JEM Theme and feature songs from the JEM TV SHOW, and several other
American, pop culture musical themes and songs originally composed in
the 80's for HASBRO Toys and Entertainment Properties, is finally
getting her days in Court at trial in a tiny courtroom in New York
Supreme Court in Carmel, NY. Anne Bryant,
the composer, is seeking to recover an accounting of and payment of
both performance and publishing royalties she claims should be paid to
her from the producer-publisher, SUNBOW PRODUCTIONS, NY [which is now
owned by its parent company LOONLAND AG, Germany] for millions of CD,
VHS and DVD sales and licenses which she says use her music without
paying her the royalties she says she is owed. On the eve of the
December 4th trial, Bryant says she suddenly received a small check
from TV Loonland for "music royalties" but Bryant says, although it is
an admission of responsibility, it is a mere drop in the bucket.
The composer is also suing her performing rights society BMI claiming
among other things that it allowed changes to be made to her song
catalog without her authorization.
According to Bryant, the long road to trial began when she discovered
that her 100% composer's share of the hugely valuable Transformers
Theme music had been reduced to a small fraction in her BMI writer's
catalogue. BMI's counsel, Judith Saffer argues that it is not possible
for BMI to police the catalogues of its many affiliated writers because
they have no way of knowing if the new registrations they accept for
the same title are accurate. In Saffer' view, it's up to the BMI writer
to bring a court action against another writer if there is an
infringement. Bryant says that BMI's stated position is to remain
neutral but then asks why BMI would not protect its writers by at least
checking with the original registrant when a song with the same title
is later presented for registration. "Others are being unjustly
enriched by my music," says the composer. "It appears to me that BMI
writers cannot expect their works to be safeguarded by BMI"- a
performance rights organization that represents more than 300,000
affiliated songwriters, composers and publishers. The composer also
claims that because of BMI's laissez faire position, these corrupted
registrations have diminished her writer's royalties across the board,
finding their way into her SONY ATV catalogue, after Sunbow passed on
the altered publishing catalogues to the mega-publisher. Bryant also
claims that she is not given credit for her songs in three
newlyproduced Transformers television series airing on The Cartoon
Network.
The composer hopes to be made whole for the millions of dollars in back
royalties due to her since 1994 for her many valuable themes. And with
the DreamWorks TRANSFORMERS LIVE ACTION MOVIE [#1] scheduled for
release on July 4, 2007, she also seeks to secure her professional
screen credits, in the event that the Dreamworks movie uses her theme.
Bryant has been represented by Patrick J. Monaghan of Monaghan,
Monaghan, Lamb & Marchisio a small New Jersey and New York firm.
Monaghan has represented and won settlements in the past on behalf of
the former managers of the artists Meat Loaf and Billy Joel in separate
cases. Sunbow is represented by Gloria Phares, Esq. a partner in the
New York law firm of Patterson, Belknap, & Webb. BMI is represented
by its in-house counsel Judith Saffer, Esq. Bryant says she will sue
anyone who is using her music without authority. "The Transformers best
days are yet to come," she says. "I look to the Court to achieve
justice and secure accurate royalty accountings and payments to me in
the future." I have faith in the American judicial system and I am not
going to be cowed into submission by a huge corporation with millions
to spend on lawyers.
