August 13, 2008

I have been adding new products over the last few days.  New Gemini Jets releases for the months of July and August have been added to the Gemini Jets Category.   There are so many great releases for those months, but I have to say my favorites are the 1/200 scale Eastern 757 and the 1/400 scale Braniff 727.

Code 3 Collectibles has announced two new Oshkosh Airport Crash Trucks for the US Navy.  These are very sharp!  It has been a long time since we have seen a crash truck release from Code 3, so these are sure to be a quick sell out.  On top of that they are limited to 1,000 pieces of each.  Make sure you get these pre-ordered before they are gone.

Make sure to check out the First Gear Category.  I have added some new pre-order items as well as more Komatsu and International construction models.  Remember, if you want to pre-order an item, call me at the store 913-383-8948 and I will put you on the pre-order list.  Your credit card will not be charged until the item has shipped.  Speaking of shipping, remember shipping is a flat $7.95.  Make sure to take advantage of that low shipping rate by ordering multiple items!

Hopefully, I will see some of you at the shows I will be at over the next couple of months.  Remember to introduce yourself so I can put a face with the name I see on the orders that come thru.  Cheers for now!

Just added some shows we will be attending under the Events page.  There will be more shows added in the next few days.  It is getting to be that time of year again.

I have added product under the William Britain, Hobby Master Tanks and Hobby Master Airplanes Categories.   New Johnny Lightning has been added as well.  Norscot is starting to ship new releases.  Check out the new Cat Kenworth W900 with Lowboy and Cat 950H Wheel Loader.  This is a sharp set!  New Greenlight Muscle Car Garage Release 7 has arrived and selling very well.  Watch the Greenlight Category as newly annouced releases will be posted soon.

Check back next week for more news!

Mid Summer and it is really starting to get warm in the Midwest.  Had a pretty wet Spring and early Summer.  Now that is starting to change as it is getting dry.  Shows have been few and far between in June and July.  Look out in August!  We are very busy with shows and will be on the road!  Watch the Events Page for the show locations.  I will post them in the next couple of days. 

New product is showing after a little dry spell.  I will give you an overview of the new items that have come in.  Highway 61 has delivered 4 Dodge Challengers and 3 Cudas.  One of the Cudas is featured to the right.  Happens to be my favorite of the releases.  Die-Cast Promotions has also sent us the new Volvo VT800 Semi Trucks.  There are 2 End Dumps and 3 Flat Bed Trailers.  Check them out in the DCP Trucks Category.  I also just posted 2 new International Lonestars with Livestock Trailers.  The new Lonestar cab is awesome looking!  Today I received the new Komatsu PC300L-8 Excavator and D51 PX Dozer from First Gear.  Very nice construction items and they go well with the new First Gear Mack Granite Dump Trucks.  Make sure you check them out under the First Gear Category.

Tonight I added the new August releases from Gemini Jets.  They are not in stock yet, so you will have to call to pre-order those items.  As soon as they are shipping, I will mark them in stock for ordering on the web site.  Be patient with me, I am a bit behind with the June/July releases.  I will be posting them in the next few days. 

We have also received a lot of Johnny Lightning over the last 2 weeks.  Dukes of Hazzard Release 5 is now in stock for you Dukes Fans!  There is a great looking 1931 Ford Woody in the Johnny Retro Release 4!  And for you John Deere folks, make sure to check out the John Deere Release 2.  The set features all John Deere trucks.  Very Sharp!  Tomorrow we will receive the 6 new MId Scale Muscle Cars.  Watch out for the 1966 Chevy Nova Black with Flames.  Sure to be a winner!

Still in the process of loading the William Britain on the web site.  Keep checking.  I will also be adding 2 new categories for Hobby Master Airplanes and Tanks.  In the mean time, if there are William Britain and Hobby Master items you are after and do not see here, please give me a call and I will be happy to take your order over the phone.  One person, so little time.  Check back in a week for the next update!

So much going on for us so far this year.  We have added some new product lines over the last few months.  This time we are pleased to announce we now carry the First Gear line.  Just arrived are the Mack Granite MP Series with Lowboy Trailer in 1/50 scale.  Watch for new Komatsu Construction Equipment and Mack Granite Dump Trucks in 1/50 scale.

Going hand and hand with the First Gear line, we decided to expand our selection of William Britain.  There will be many new releases coming in the next couple of months so stay tuned for new William Britain updates on our web site.  New product will be posted very soon! 

That is it for this week.  I will try to keep this news page a little more up to date this year!  Thank you for your business.
