The Toy Association has created a pair of moving videos that are designed to raise awareness about the proposed 25% tariff on imported Chinese goods and its impending impact on the toy industry. We encourage you to both view and share these videos and pay a visit to the newly-created Don’t Tax Toys web site to voice your opinion and gain further insight on the tariff that will affect our industry shortly.

The FOV Update: Panzers Rollen in Afrika Vor
So, its finally in stock. The Forces of Valor 88mm FLaK gun that is. We’ve been talking it up for months on end, lamenting the fact that we’ve had to wait an eternity for it to arrive. But here it is. On the downside, we’re headed out of town this Friday and won’t return for action until Tuesday, June 4th. So, if you have this item on pre-order with us, please check in to see if we have all of your billing details on file, which will enable us to get this item in the mail and into your hands ahead of our road trip.
It’s a beautiful item, and fitting way to kick off the re-launch of the Forces of Valor 1:32 scale military vehicle series. Its also the first vehicle in their Afrika Korps series, a line that Unimax, the previous owners of the Forces of Valor, seemed to overlook when they had the series. Panzers vorwarts!
