The last two weeks have simply been amazing! THANK YOU ALL for your amazing support! It has been a very nice surprise and it is great to have so many of you come back after a short time away. The Huge number of New and Returning customers from our past has been very encouraging to everyone here from me to the entire crew. There were some just fantastic post on some of the forums which we copied and blew up and posted in the warehouse and the crew is just glowing. 2010 is going to be Fantastic in both products and our service. We are hiring additional help for the holidays and with the resent orders we look to keep them on full time next year to make sure our service stays with all your thoughts and expectations. Blown away is how we all feel here and we will give everything we have to make sure that is how you feel with us. THANK YOU for intrusting us with your hobby, now our job is to make it FUN for you! Due to so many New customers I want to run over a few items real fast. We NEVER charge your credit card until the product is here and ready to ship. You can feel safe knowing that when you place your order for something in advance you will not be charged until it is ready to go. Our systems are built and tested to keep things safe and moving quickly. Please remember that when using Paypal you are paying PAYPAL instantly and then they pay us. So if you do pre-order and use paypal THEY will take your money right away. If you use a credit card with us we will not charge it until the item is in stock. You will receive an email from us when we process your order and when your shipment goes UPS a second email for Quantum View (UPS's email system) with the tracking number. USPS orders will not see a second email. UPS orders ship everyday, USPS usually 3 times a week and International orders once a week. PLEASE PRE-ORDER! We usually never (ok I think once this year) have a problem filling Pre-Orders from our First shipment from a manufacturer. It is only when we go back 3-5 times when filling orders get hard. If you Pre-Order something that is not due until August of 2010 we will not charge your credit card until August 2010 and you will be in line way ahead of those that wait for it to hit. Ok this is already long and we haven't started yet. HOT WHEELS: I don't know what to say, 2010 is going to be one of the best years in a long time. Classics will continue until May. Delivery is the biggest line I can remember since Classics started 5 years ago, The pre-orders we have now are already more than any series in the last 5 years and they keep rolling in. I have spoken with Mattel and we will be fine filling Pre-Order so if you want them ORDER NOW! Going back on some of the dash codes once they are released may not be an option. Garage will be more involved than last year and pre-sales are up from last year already. There are some great cars in this line and we are adding sneak pics as we get them. This week we added the 2010 Basic Car 72 Car cases and the 2010 Drag Strip Demons to the website. Drag Strip Demons show 25 Confirmed cars but there will be 30 in the set, just a few loose ends to tighten up during the year to get them out. If you looking to finish your 2009 set the #18 car is in the 2010 B Case and WILL BE SHORT! There are 1 per case and at this time it is only scheduled to be in this one case. There is a Premium Basic car line that features 36 casting I believe 5 of them are all new called Speed Machines, This line is due to hit in January and we will have it. I am working on mining some more data this week and hope to have it on the site for Pre-Order very soon. Color Shifters and Monster Jam (If you have not looked at Monster Jam you are missing out on some VERY COOL Diecast!) will continue in 2010. There maybe a surprise or two in the 2010 line up, but have no fear we will have it ALL! Added Photos of the 1/64th Scale Classics N and P cases.
