Thats right folks....  We have just got back into the office after spending most of July on the West Coast in preparation for San Diego Comic Con....  We had a GREAT TIME (even got a few exclusives!!) and saw alot of our valued customers!!  We have also just finished taking pictures of a TON of Original Masters of the Universe Filmation Animation cels with Original PAINTED backgrounds as well as bout 50 original Filmation PENCIL drawings for the Masters of the Universe cartoon as well!!  We have also just recently gotten in some Original Masters of the Universe Comic Artwork from some original Mini Comics as well as some of the Marvel comics.  As for the comic artwork, please E-mail us if you are interested, since most of that will NOT be listed for public viewing/sale on the website.

I am going to attempt to get the entire lot of Animation Cels and Pencil drawings listed by Friday the 6th.   And then after that who knows what other goodies we will start to dig out.  

One final note.......  We have already lockd in a 10 foot x 10 foot Booth at the Power Con/Thundercon in Loas Angeles, CA at the end of September....  We would LOVE to see all of you fans/collectors in out there showing your support!! 

It has been a month or two since we last added products to the website, but that does not mean we have slowed down buying!!  We have actually spent about $10K in the past month buying more and more product!  Quite a bit MOTU and misc 80s toys have come in recently.  I will do my best to update the wedsite in the coming few days with FRIDAY & SATURDAY being the biggest addition days.  I'm looking at adding roughly 100-200 new items those days.  Some highlights from the Masters of the Universe section are Rare Top Toys items including a Blue Road Ripper w/ Box, and a Camoflauge Battle Bones w/ box!!  Both are SUPER RARE items.  I also have a Hordak/Grizzlor 2-pack as well as 2 New Adventures Mailer boxed 2-packs.  Some Neat loose figures include Missle Armor Flipshot, Hook'Em Brakk x 2, Too-Tall Hoove, Laser Power He-man & Skeletor.  If all goes well I am also working on a large Loose lot of Top Toys figures/variations to be purchased in the next few weeks......  Keep checking back!!

Also, on Sunday April 3rd I will be attending the April Fools Toy Show @ the Nur Shrine Temple on Route 13/198 S. Dupont Hwy.,  New Castle, Delaware.  This show will run from 10am til 4pm.....  Feel free to E-mail me with any special requests you may have.  

Upcoming shows that Toysandtoons will be in attendace at include the following:

MOTU Collectors Convention (location and date TBA)

plus many others to come!!

To all our valued customers I just wanted to wish you all a Happy and Healthy New Year!!

Now onto the important stuff......  We have recently added a bunch of NEW categories to the Misc. 80s & 90s toy sections.  We have also upload a bunch of new products from amny different toy line.  Some of these include: Police Academy, Sectaurs, Action Force, Battle Trolls, Men of Medal, Barnyard Commando's, Super Naturals, Vintage Star Wars, Filmation Ghostbusters, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures, Voltron, and many more to come....

As many of you know, I have recently made very large purchase of a very respected collector's personal collection.  The toys in this collection filled up three 10' X 20' storage units and included many items from the 1980s-early 2000.  There were even a few items which stretched back to the 1960s and 1970s.  I have only started to listed these items on the site, and all recent updates have included products from this purchase.  I will continue to update as quickly as possible, however I can honestly say this purcahse will keep my busy for all of 2011 and possibly 2012.  Many items will be listed on the website, however some will be sold rather CHEAP at local toy shows in order to just free up storage space. 

I have already booked 2 toy shows for 2011, and both will be in New Jersey.

The 1st will be held on Sunday January 30th 2011 at the Westin Hotel located at 555 Fellowship Rd., N. Mt. Laurel, NJ (Between I-295 & NJ Turnpike Ex. 4 off Rt. 73)  This show will be heldfrom 10am to 4pm.... TONS of 1980s toys will be at this show!!

The 2nd toy show will be a Knock-Out and is being held on February 12, 2011 at the Grand Marketplace located at 4340 Route 130 (Burlington Pke), Willingboro, NY 08046.  This show will alsorun from 10am to 4pm, and as usual this show will be a SMASH HIT!!  last show I even had some close friends/customers drive over 8 hours from Canada to attend this toy show.... and YES they are Coming AGAIN!!  It's gonna be THAT GOOD....

Dear Fans/Customers

  I have been really slow on updating inventory lately due to ALOT of recent toy shows and buying trips I have been on.  For all of you who have been asking for new inventory... I'm sorry it has taken so long.  I will do my best to update sections of Voltron, MOTU, Secret Wars, GIJOE, and some other Misc 80s toys this month.....  I will also be stepping up invoice/E-mail response times for the next few weeks....  We will be sending invoices out at a minimum of every 48 hours in order to ramp up shipping times for the holiday season...  I hope you all enjoy the new items I will be listing in the next few days!

Thanks to all our loyal customers who keep coming back month after month.  We really appreciate your return and loyal business.  As many of you know Toysandtoons.com does alot of regional Toy Shows on the East Coast of the USA, and many of you may have actually seen us at one of these events.  I would like to take a few seconds here an to make note of a few upcoming Toy Shows we will be in attending as a dealer in the upcoming months.

OUR RECENT MEGA PURCHASE!!!

I would like let all our customers know that Toysandtoons.com is always focused on bringing you more and more great 1980s and 1990s toys.  We were just invited out to OHIO to look at the collection of the well respected Tomart's Magazine owner..... I am happy to say that Toysandtoons was able to finalize a deal allowing us to purchase the majority of the inventory Tomart's had in storage.  This includes toy lines such as He-Man, GIJOE, Bravestar, Ghostbusters, HOT WHEELS, and numerous other toy lines both big and small from the 80s and 90s.!!  It is NOT going to be a quick transfer of the products from storage to our Website, but we will be doing our best to get a variety of new products listed ASAP.  We will also be listing alot of misc items on E-Bay under the User name PLeRose.... so please start checking out those listing as well!!

Just as the title says...  The rest of the Legendary Top Toys collection of Josh Van Pelt will be in my hands and updated at the end of next week....  Until then I will be posting some other misc. MOTU items to hold you all over.....  For starters let me direct your attention to the newest RARITY on the site!!!  *Picture coming soon*

A Extremely Rare MOTU figure called Lanca Lingua ( Tung Lashor ) Mint on card.  This is a VERY RARE figure from Brazil under the Estrela toy name.  This is one of only 2 examples to exist in MOC form!!  The price also reflects its rarity, but lets be serious.... When was the last time you have seen one of these figures surface for sale!!

    Toysandtoons has just purchased one of the finest TOP TOYS Masters of the Universe collections in the world!!  Why is it one fo the finest in the world?  This entire collection was purchased/put together more than 10 years ago (Late 1990s) by a very close friend named Josh Van Pelt (www.thecafewha.com).  These figures were being bought when hardly anyone had even heard of Top Toys, and for those who had heard of them.... Top Toys figures were just cheaply made MOTU figures with WEIRD color variations.  Many of these figures were purchased directly from Argentina before MOTU was as popular as it is today.  Why am I taking the time to explain the history of this collection?  One of the most highly faked MOTU items on the market today are Top Toys figures.  If you search E-Bay you will currently find numerous sellers in Argentina and all over the world offering MOC Top Toys figures (Modulaks, Camo Kobra Khans, etc) for crazy prices.....  Most of those figures are FAKES or Customs!! 

   Toysandtoons is bringing you one of the MOST IMPRESSIVE original (not FAKE) Top Toys collections to ever have been put together.  These items will be listed over a period of a few weeks, but for most items (98%) we will only have 1 of each!!  Therefore, if you see something you like, please don't hesitate to purchase it since we will NOT have additional examples to restock our inventory with.  I will be upfront in saying not all items will be cheap, but if you are interested in purchasing some items, please contact us and we can attempt to work out a payment plan that will work for us all.  

   We are still in the photographing stages with this collection but just to give you an idea what type of items will be listing..... Loose Camo Kobra Khan, MOC Hot Pink Wings Stratos, MIB He-Man & Windraider 2-pack, MOC He-Man, MOC Skeletor, MIB Blue Road Ripper, MIB Painted Panthor, MOC Prince Adam, plus many more!!!  1st Batch of figures for sale will be listed 2/20....

For ease in finding these figures here at Toysandtoons.com all TOP TOYS figures will be listed under the vintage MOC/MIB sections of our website.  There are a few loose figures as well in this collection, these will be listed under the Vintage loose figure section.  I hope you are all as excited as we are to bring you this AMAZING COLLECTION!!  One last thing........ I would like to personally thank my long time friend, JOSH, for making this purchase/sale possible!!

We are currently working on Updating the website with roughly 100+ items in the next 2 days.  We also just acquired some RARE vintage MOTU items from South America that I think will interest a bunch of MOTU collectors.  On top of that we also have a brand new folder being updated under the He-Man section which will allow you to buy individual Panini Stickers from the vintage MOTU cartoon series.  But wait... there's more!!  We also just purcahsed an HUGE collection of loose MOTU figures and vehicles (nearly a complete set) so once that arrives and pieces are cleaned and completed they too will be added!!

Next topic is TOY SHOWS!!! 

Our Next appearance will be on Saturday, FEBRUARY 13th @ the ZOLOWORLD Collectible Toy Show.  This show will take place at the GRAND MARKETPLACE at WILLINGBORO.  This is located at 4340 RTE 130, Willingboro, NJ 08046.   You can find out more info. on this whow at www.amazingtoyshows.com

In the next few days we will be uploading even more inventory to the web site.....  I'm sure you will all be surprised with some of the hard to find items which we have been able to round up...... Toy lines include MOTU, Thundercats, COPS, Dungeons & Dragons, Lord of the Rings, etc......  We will even be listing awesome MOTU and MOTUC protective cases from www.Zoloworld.com....  From this point forward all carded MOTU and MOTUC (w/o white box) figures sold on this website will have a www.Zoloworld.com case included!! You will also be able to purchase these cases directly though www.ToysandToons.com if you would like additional quantities. 

We will do our best to post as many items in the next few days as we can, but be on the look out on Friday (12/4), as this will be the busiest day for updates and I am projecting 100+ new vintage items this day alone!!  (NOTE Most of Friday's planned uploads were done Today THURSDAY, however we have a TON more to get listed still on Friday and the days following).

For those of you who are New users, I first would like to welcome you....  and second would just like to let you know if you place an order, you should expect to hear back from us in 2-3 days at most....  We will try to start checking web E-mails and orders every other day from this point going forward.  Sometimes that is difficult given our regular work schedule at our regular full time job, however we will do all we can to speed up the response time to all pending orders and questions!  This will be our New Years resolution this year, and we plan on starting it a month early to get practice!! 

As you may see from out current Home Page, we are in the process of updated the MOTU section this weekend.....  I will be adding pictures later today and tomorrow to all products posted.  I would also like to draw your attention to our newly formed PLUSH section of our website.  Here you will find many different 80's cartoon & video game characters in cute cuddly PLUSH form.  

Some products which will soon be listed are MOC vintage MOTU, MISB MOTU vehicles, MIB GIJOE vehicles, and if have some extra time to dig them out a few MOTU J.C. Penney 2-packs.  Again these are just a few of the many items we will be updating this weekend!!

Update Sunday August 30th.......  I have currently updated all of the MOC and loose vintage He-Man sections.....  I may still have a few more figures here and there to post, but the majority of them are listed.  I will be next working on the MOTU vehicles MIB's.  I have also gone through the current MOC section and adjusted some of the prices to make them slighly more attractive to those interested buyers....  Some figures were discounted up to $100-ea....  Take a look!!

We have just purchased a large carded and loose MOTU collection.  There are roughly 25 MOC figures, some common, some above average...  These figures will be arriving to us on Friday, and we will photograph and hopefully post by Monday....  As for the loose figure collection, we should be picking it up on Friday as well, and we will have a bunch of organizing to accomplish, but there will be alot of product to add to our website from these toy hauls......

Not to let the cat out of the bag for any of our High End collectors, but we have just recently made a very expensive purchase for some RARE Vintage MOTU items......  Those of you who are Multi-Pack (3-Pack) collectors please keep an eye on our website for updates in the coming days....
