How do you impress the level of star power walking through this room? "What’s exciting for the presenters and performers who are coming through, the truth is no amount of money they have can buy some of the things in the lounge right now," says Distinctive Assets founder Lash Fary. "The MTG products aren’t available for sale yet in the United States. Gramovox won’t be available until May. The toys and the robots from Wowwee are not available until May. That’s kind of what I was looking for this year. We try to hook them up with stuff that’s not on the market yet."
