HAPPY SUMMER! Well, at least
what's left of it! We wonder where the time goes.
We just did a recent toy show - where were YOU at?
Seems like no one's coming anymore. Come on,
people, break away from those computers and get out and get some human
contact, will ya! We miss seeing you!!
Our attempt to add a "Christmas'
Past" section hasn't come to fruition. But we still invite
you to send in vintage
pictures of yourself (or others - with their permission, of course!)
opening up those toys of yesterday (heck, we'll even take birthday or
other events of same!). We think it's great fun to share our
experiences - I believe most collectors are in this, at least
partially, to relive their childhood. Let's all share a bit!
:) With that thought, our first entry is from one of our
customers who was so kind to share his Christmas photo - 'Tommy' circa
1966 or so, age 10 or 11...getting ready to begin a fun filled day with
the Cartrights of Bonanza fame!
We're still here...drop us and line and
say 'hi'.

After being in business for over 20 years now (has
it really been that long??!), we finally decided to
officially develop and roll out our own website (we have been selling
on eBay for over 8 years now but this is our first solo flight!). We
know that shopping on the Internet is not always the
rewarding experience it SHOULD be. If you're like us, you're
tired of the extremely poor customer service provided by over 90% of
eBay 'sellers'. The horror stories are never
ending. $300 purchases arriving in the mail wrapped in
nothing more than butcher paper (with, no wonder, bend folds running
through the middle); "mint" items arriving with rust, paint touch ups,
etc; all original items arriving with repro boxes and/or parts; $700
ceramics arriving tossed into a box with absolutely nothing more than a
thin piece of newspaper floating around the now damaged figures; items
not arriving AT ALL...ouch!! We are constantly striving to
provide the opposite of that!
We intend to be adding many, many items
over the next few months. Please browse around and let us
know what you think. If you're of the mind, feel free to send
us a want list. We really miss the old days of direct
interaction with people. We actually have a phone number you
call if you wish!! Oh, if the desire to purchase something
strikes your fancy, feel free to purchase away!
And feel free to tell a friend!
Best Regards,
Laura & Louie
