  1. Every now and then you hear about one of us in the community bringing in toys to the classroom. Here a recent experience we had this month...

    12.15.06 - Art Appreciation

    Since winning the Fulbright Scholarship to Japan last year, Art Teacher Robt Seda-Schreiber has been collecting items representative of the country and its culture as teaching instruments. To help out Robt and the students of M.H.K. Middle School, we partially donated a GX-34 Gunbuster for classroom’s growing collection. Enjoy the lesson in modern sculpture kids!

    It has been reported that the next Transformers Masterpiece release will be MP-05 Megatron. MP-05 Megatron is said to transform from a Walther P-38 to a 12 inch robot. In the past, we know problems arose at US Customs when importing TFC-06 Megatron. Until we get more tangible information from our suppliers, we will wait to add the MP-05 pre-order. Until then we will try to figure out what needs to be done to import the toy without the risk of it being seized by US Customs.

  11. they're unstable because of the rubber nubs/feet(i don't know what to call them)elevate the base which makes it rock back and forth....depending on how blind the guy who put them on was.

    if you simply remove the rubber nubs/feet, they're just as stable as the squares. only problem is, the bottom of the base will get scratched up over time. so no one has to really redesign them, just make it so people have the option of putting on the rubber nubs/feet, otherwise get thinner feet.

    I have never seen a round base stand in person, only in pictures. So I am not sure if we need to make the base bigger or use different nubs. Hopefully whatever the fix is, it is afforadable. The price of manufacturing stands has doubled since the old owner was in business!

  12. 11.02.06 - Austin Collectors Expo November 4th & 5th

    This weekend we will be at the Austin Collectors Expo (ACE). ACE is a local collectibles show with an emphasis in nostalgia. We will try to bring a little of everything that we have in-stock. Prices at the ACE will include Texas Sales Tax. Details on ACE can be found here.

    Today our shipment of Animated Boba Fett Maquette arrived! The pre-order price is valid until tomorrow.

    A customer had to reduce his number of 1/60 YF-19 Macross Plus on pre-order...so we have one back up for grabs!

    LAFtoys.com

  13. The old owner and I have talked about bringing back the round bases, but like mentioned above the round base is not as stable as the square base. That is something that is on our plate for next year since we have to redesign the round base.

    Stands Ala Carte we heavily considering. We are also reviewing the possiblity of selling individual parts too. Both ideas were discussed for next year, but perhaps we can do a small run of Stands Ala Carte for the Holiday season. I'll look into that next week.

    Clear Silicone end caps? Good idea, I'll check into it.

  14. 10.31.06 - New Arrivals

    KISS Players Hot Rodimus and Syao Syao is now in-stock. We only have a few left for grabs, so get them while you can. Arriving later this afternoon is our shipment of Robot Masters RM-02 Beast Megatron and RM-11 Beast Convoy (Optimus Primal). Both these items are must-haves for any Beast Wars fan.
