• End of February News!

  February 28, 2025

   The snow is melting, and March, along with Spring, is just around the corner. I recently shipped a large quantity of toy soldiers to Orange County, California, for the West Coast Toy Soldier Show next week, which will take place on March 9th in Buena Park. There will be room trading at the hotel on Friday and Saturday. If you live in Southern California and did not receive a show postcard but would like one, please email us your address. We are also sending out postcards for our April 6th Toy Soldier Show, which will be held here in Burlington, MA—bringing toy soldier cheer to both coasts! Additionally, we have included our March gaming schedule below. A Bolt Action Tournament has just been added for March 22nd. We have received a 10% tariff on imports from China. The John Jenkins Designs shipment has been held up in U.S. Customs for two weeks now! As a result, we will be adjusting our prices and may temporarily suspend "free shipping" to help absorb some of the costs. We are currently in discussions with manufacturers and other dealers to develop a plan. I anticipate that we will gradually see the prices of some games and other items we offer increase in the coming months. Buy now! Are you experiencing difficulties checking out on our website?

  February 19th Updates

  February 19, 2025

  February 19th Updates  Another February weekend has brought us yet another snowstorm. Fortunately, it is not preventing you from visiting. We have experienced some busy weekends during this cold and stormy winter. The best time to find parking is early in the week, with Monday being the most favorable option. Saturday afternoons and Sundays are also good choices. We have received our first "10% Tariff" bill. The John Jenkins Designs shipment is still held up in customs. We will need to adjust our prices or temporarily suspend "free shipping" to absorb some of the costs. We are in discussions with manufacturers and other dealers to help formulate a plan. I think we will gradually see the prices of some games and other items we offer increase in the coming months. Buy now! Fortunately, everything that is already in stock or available from local distributors is tariff-free!

  February 12th News

  February 12, 2025

  February has brought us Valentine's Day, which is not a significant holiday for collectors and modelers. We will be open during our regular hours despite the upcoming snowstorms coming to our area. The best time to find parking is early in the week, with Monday being the most favorable option. Saturday afternoons and Sundays are also good choices. We have our first two shipments en route from Hong Kong. The John Jenkins Designs shipment is currently held up in customs. We can only hope that we do not incur the 10% tariffs. If we do, we may need to adjust our prices or temporarily suspend "free shipping" to absorb some of the costs. Fortunately, everything that is already in stock or available from local distributors is tariff-free! Are you experiencing difficulties checking out on our website?

  February 5th

  February 5, 2025

  February 5th Updates  February has begun with snowfall and cold temperatures. The past few weekends have been incredibly busy in the shop. The best time to find parking is early in the week, with Monday being the most favorable. Saturday afternoons and Sundays are also good options. During the week, we have been engaged in significant restocking efforts, with piles of boxes arriving daily. We just received the first of two racks of the AK Interactive "3G" paint line, and we hope the second rack will arrive in a few weeks. Additionally, we have a rack of "Mr. Hobby" paints by Gunze Sanyo on order. We are uncertain about the potential impact of the tariffs currently under discussion. I recently placed an order with King and Country that includes the new Desert Tiger Tank. I will have to wait and see if I receive a 10% duty bill from FedEx. If that occurs, you may notice increased prices on certain brands or the possibility that Free Shipping may come to an end, as we won't be able to absorb all the costs. Fortunately, everything that is already in stock or available from local distributors is tariff-free! We have recently added new products from John Jenkins, King & Country, and W. Britains. Our rare and retired section has been expanding, featuring dozens of sets and a variety of plastic toy soldiers. We are adding items almost daily, and these products are selling quickly. Additionally, we have been listing numerous auctions on eBay, showcasing hundreds of items—primarily metal and plastic soldiers and action figures in scales ranging from 1:32 to 1:6. Our shop is fully stocked with a diverse inventory. The stunning limited edition, full-art alternative cover of the Monster Manual 2024/2025 has arrived—pick up a copy today! Furthermore, we have revamped our board game section and are now rating the games based on Board Game Geek standards. After reviewing last year's sales, we are focusing on expanding our larger categories. Our inventory of Bandai Gundam models, Games Workshop products, and Reaper Miniatures has been significantly increased, offering a fantastic selection. We consistently restock and introduce new items from the finest hobby and game distributors. Additionally, we buy and sell collections of toy soldiers, models, and games, ensuring that there is always something new and classic to discover! Visit us in person or browse our shop online.
