If you want to upgrade to faster shipping, please call us or add the option to your cart. LINK: Upgraded Shipping. This time of year, stock runs low, and we often run out of time to receive items from the manufacturers. Any orders must be placed by this Friday, December 12. After that, if an item is out of stock, we will notify you via email. If you have substitute items put them in the "remarks" section when checking out. We are experiencing delays receiving shipments to fill orders. What was expected already and not received yet? King and Country, John Jenkins, Victrix, Northstar (said today!),Armies in Plastic and ExForce. If you have pending orders for these brands we are hoping to get them in and out asap. ExForce being the doubtful fun to reach us for Christmas. Need a gift? Stop by, email, or call, and we can help!

December News #1
December 3, 2025
Greetings—we dodged the snowstorm yesterday and are staying warm today. We had quite a busy Black Friday weekend. We would like to thank everyone who showed up and supported our small business. The Holiday Season is here. Place your Christmas orders ASAP! December 17th will be our last day for Ground Shipments for in stock items. We have thousands of items in stock but our website is not accurate - call or email if you want to check stock before ordering! Have substitutes if you have them! The December Gaming Calendar is now available. See the schedule below or visit our Facebook page. Join our Discord to connect with other gamers. Typically, we receive our weekly hobby supplies, including paint and model kit restocks, on Thursdays and Fridays. We have just placed a massive Bandai Gundam restock, which is expected to arrive on Friday. We still have plenty of MTG Avatar booster packs and boxes available. Additionally, we recently installed a new and improved Pro Acryl paint rack, which required us to rearrange half of the paint aisle. Humbrol paint is now located in the 1/35 scale model kit section. NOTE: My last show of the year is the London Toy Soldier Show, which takes place on December 6. Unfortunately, I will not be attending the Virginia Toy Soldier Show. It is actually quicker to fly to London than to drive to Virginia from the Boston area. Hopefully, I will be able to attend the next Virginia show in February.

November News #2

Thanksgiving and the holidays are just around the corner. But before that, we have a show in Long Island, along with many exciting announcements and gaming events. Tomorrow, I will be heading to the Long Island show. My longtime friend and customer, Alan, will be helping me, and I will be staying at my friend Jim's house on Friday. These are some of the first people I met in this great hobby. They are passionate about everything—history, toy soldiers, gaming, and miniatures. The November Gaming Calendar is now available. See the schedule below or visit our Facebook page. Join our Discord to connect with other gamers. Typically, on Thursdays and Fridays, we receive our weekly hobby supplies, including paint and model kit restocks. Throughout the week, we receive a variety of games from several sources. The new Magic "AVATAR" set will be available this weekend and will be sold out almost immediately. Unfortunately, the collectible card business is booming, and we cannot get enough stock of any of it! The West Coaster Toy Soldier Show is now scheduled for March 8, 2026, and the Chicagoland Show is set for September 20, 2026. Tomorrow, I will be attending the Long Island show. I have also booked a flight to the London Toy Soldier Show, which takes place on December 6. Unfortunately, I will not be attending the Virginia Toy Soldier Show. It is actually quicker to fly to London than to drive to Virginia from the Boston area!
