I said that I didn't want to make another model and Felicia<br>
agreed. She'll show it to M.B. next. It will be a couple of weeks<br>
since she is very busy. In the meantime I will prepare pcs. in<br>
4 colors and work out rules for 4 players. Incidentally, the<br>
O-I people said that it would be just right for Leisure Dynamics<br>
(Lakeside).<br>
They did take <u>MINEFIELD</u> and another item I don't know. They<br>
are sending advanced and are giving 5% even tho she, because<br>
of the high cost of materials, hinted she'd take less.<br>
Told Felicia that I had the "Lily cups" and would work on a<br>
<u>GAME</u>.<br>
A messenger delivered a box with <u>ECLIPSE</u>, <u>OVER 'N OVER</u>,<br>
<u>PAIR OFF</u>, and <u>POP-SHAPE-AND SHATTER</u> - no letter. I told Felicia<br>
that I'd like to know what his reason for returning them was.<br>
Felicia called and then let me speak to him. He said that he Stubmann<br>
showed them at a meeting with the sales people etc. <s>in which the</s><br>
that had been set up to consider children's toys, so they<br>
just weren't attuned to them and rejected them without<br>
any study. He personally said they were all good items and<br>
showed a lot of talent.<br>
He suggested that they be resubmitted, 2 at a time, the<br>
first two in about 2 weeks. They will have a better<br>
chance if submitted to Mr. Greenberg or Mr. Frankel at<br>
200 Fifth Ave. It is a matter of ego and he, Stubbman, doesn't<br>
give a damn as long as we all can make some money on them.<br>
Since plastic is so expensive and hard to get he suggested<br>
redoing <u>POP-SHAPE-AND SHATTER</u> in cardboard, covering them<br>
with shiny colored paper. <u>ECLIPSE</u> should be done in a<br>
smaller version and should have a tray for keeping the<br>
layers in place.<br>
When resubmitting the items Felicia should <s>she</s> say that<br>
they were seen by Mr. Stubbman who returned them to us<br>
