Our web hosting solution has finally integrated the USPS Ground Advantage shipping option within our overall set of shipping choices. You may remember that back in July, the USPS did away with both First Class Mail and Parcel Post in favor of this new shipping option within CONUS in an effort to streamline their system and provide better service. For some, Ground Avantage will lower the price of shipping, particularly if you are located on far from us, while in other instances you probably won’t notice much of a difference. Together with some other minor changes, we believe that we are ready for the upcoming holiday shopping season and are able to provide some of the best shipping rates around, both locally and across this vast nation of ours, small parcels or large. We invite you to try out this new shipping method and see if it helps reduce your cost of shipping.

We aren’t expecting anything else to arrive for the month of August, however, quite a number of new items are slated to come in after Labor Day weekend and well into the month of September. A shipment of Dragon and Panzerkampf are on the water and expected around mid month. Forces of Valor should be back on track shortly, once they iron out some additional logistical issues they’ve run into after moving their warehouse from California to Indiana. A new shipment of Legion, Corgi, Air Force 1 and Luft-X are set for a September release, as is our monthly shipment of Hobby Master products.

We’ve been integrating YouTube videos here and there within our product listings, although not every item we stock will feature them. We will be curating those videos that are available through YouTube, although some will be dispensed with for lack of information. Plugging in a video with music and nothing more is rather pointless as far as we are concerned. If nothing of substance can be found, then we will add a video of this nature too but replace it with something a bit more informative down-the-road. Admittedly, we’ve been doing this for some time with manufacturer-supplied videos from Forces of Valor, however, we’ve decided to expand this feature to other pertinent products to give our customers added background behind the development and usage of each weapons platform.

That’s it for now and we’ll share any additional insight with you as it becomes apparent.

Update: It’s come to our attention that Panzerkampf makes their tanks/vehicles in 500 piece lots and then they are officially retired. So, we’ve updated our web site accordingly, marking those vehicles that are no longer available for re-stock. Up until now, it was never clear how many of each vehicle was being produced so we were working under the impression that more could be obtained. This rather low production number should come as welcome news to collectors, who will likely see their purchases appreciate in value faster than what we originally believed to be the case.
