Wouldn't be surprised at all if they are still working off the same back end even if the Amazon branding is gone.doublenickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157176534721232091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18012046.post-20430991243570476352008-01-07T11:58:00.000-08:002008-01-07T11:58:00.000-08:00Amazon and Toys"R"Us parted ways in the spring of ...Amazon and Toys"R"Us parted ways in the spring of 2006, in the midst of a very public lawsuit. Since that time, Toys"R"Us has run their web store with the help of a third-party company.

A simpler explanation is that Lego was offering a strong manufacturer's promo, and both felt it was worthy of prominent placement on the site.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18012046.post-89593843592487522722008-01-07T10:52:00.000-08:002008-01-07T10:52:00.000-08:00I just looked at the Alexa Toolbar TOS, and it say...I just looked at the Alexa Toolbar TOS, and it says: "IF YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT ON AMAZON.COM AND AN AMAZON.COM COOKIE ENABLED, YOUR SEARCH RESULTS WILL BE TRANSMITTED TO AND LOGGED BY AMAZON.COM AND MAY BE CORRELATED BY AMAZON.COM WITH ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION YOU MAY HAVE PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED TO AMAZON.COM."<BR/><BR/>It's here: <A HREF="http://www.alexa.com/site/help/privacy?p=TBStartpage_W_t_40_B1" REL="nofollow">Alexa.com privacy notice</A>.lwhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01076919329186743661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18012046.post-55265998632195156852008-01-07T10:41:00.000-08:002008-01-07T10:41:00.000-08:00Good point, I forgot to mention that in my post.
