Please Forgive me folks as this seems a bit random, but I wanted to relate the current 'Beanie Baby' of the annual meeting in Omaha by far was the former Alleghany sub and now BRK owned 'Jazwares' Their collection called 'Squishmallows' was superb. They had a couple dozen varieties including a couple varieties (and sizes) with WEB and CTM's faces on them (only available in person) which were spectacular and quite humorous! The purchase lines were over an hour for Adults to buy them!

Jazwares.com is the site for those interested. They have won many awards including prestigious 'Toy of the Year' They also have a nice Star Wars collection.

Regardless of its net income, it was just plain fun to see us own such a unique business, especially since I have younger kids. Trust me, Warren will receive a lot of fun feedback about Jazwares!

My neighbors brought me a 'SquishWarren' back from the meeting. They get me.

My daughter must have 20+ Squishmallows of all different sizes, mostly acquired prior to the Allegheny acquisition. Being a typical dad I was very vocal about my disappointment of every purchase/gift after 2 or 3. She wasted no time serving up a big slice of humble pie when she saw the excitement on my face when 'SquishWarren' was delivered. Hopefully I can use it to open the door to some investing conversations in the future.
