I started this bunch of pages way back when Beanies were basically just becomming well-known. As you will see, my Newsletter has evolved from a sort of simple collection of newsworthy items about Beanies, to a more complex personal analysis of the critters and their marketing, etc.

The formats are all different, with different backgrounds, header banners and other individual characteristics -- and I do NOT personally like this in a magazine, series of books, or a lot of other continuing things.

What I really want to start doing in 2002 is attempt to make and use a new standard style and format beginning this year - what you see here is the result of my updating. I shall try to fish out of the old Newslatters anything having to do with variations and versions of the critters, Beanies and Attics, and put them on a new variations page. I do NOT usually comment on Buddies or Ty's other toys. The bears of other makers may appear sometimes, or something, in my opinion, that is really out of the ordinary that comes out in the toy or related collectibles market.

This is an ongoing project, so please bear with me. If you find any links that do NOT appear to get you to where you are supposed to, even after refreshing / reloading, feel free to drop me a line atBeanieMeister, explaining WHERE the error happened. Thanks!
