Hi all,

Big new product update from us here at SMALLJOES!

LANARD - CORPS!

We're pleased to announce our big restock of Lanard Corps! product for
the year. We have all kinds of new goodies for you.

Lanard has revamped and brought back the STAR Force line and we have the complete selection.

We have some new diorama-style sets: Battle Zone Command assortment and
Battle Zone Tower assortment which feature some forward operating bases
and watchtowers.

Many of the Corps! military vehicles have been restocked including the
APC and Troop Transport. Also available are two all-new vehicles: the
Amphibious assault vehicle and the BMT attack vehicle.

We're also introducing this year the Ultra Corps! which is Lanard's
line of 12" (1:6 scale) action figures. Some nice deluxe mission kit
sets are offered that are full of figure accessories. Also offered
are several very nice vehicles for the 1:6 scale action figure.

21ST CENTURY TOYS: XTREME DETAIL

Just in - the new Modern Military figure assortment featuring Royal Marine, Special Ops, and two "Eastern Warrior" figures. The first forty customers to buy the complete set of four figures will receive free a 21st Century limited edition print/poster featuring the artwork of Jason Palmer (Hellboy/Nightmare on Elm Street/Star Trek).

FYI: two additional figures were originally planned for the Modern Military carded assortment but were not produced. One of those figures (designated as a C.I.A. agent if memory serves) is the pilot figure included with the AH-1W Super Cobra helicopter.

If you haven't visited in awhile you will also notice that we have
numerous new aircraft offerings: a German Messerschmitt FW-190D-9, German Tiger tank, P-40 Warhawk, UH-1C Huey, and more!

GI JOE

We have in stock many of the new store exclusives such as the VAMP + Whirlwind set, Anti-Venom figure 6-pack, and Urban Strike figure 6-pack.

All of the other new items we had expected to receive in September are
late.

Next week we will be restocking some of the Alpha vehicles as well as
the first assortment of comic book 3-packs.

Valor vs. Venom wave 4 figure assortment is probably on its way to us by now and we can expect that around the first week of October.

Many people are asking us about the new Bravo vehicles. We are still
working hard to get them. Widespread release of these items will probably be quite late (into November) due to eleventh hour decisions Hasbro has made about how the items will be distributed.

We have a lot of new comics in stock. Most recently added are: Master & Apprentice #3 and #4, GI JOE #34, and GI JOE vs. Transformers II issue #1 including an extremely limited retailer incentive cover.

MICROMAN

Our latest Microman addition is the Devilman figure (anime version).

Expected in October are: Bio Machines, Devilman & Silene 2-pack (comic
versions), Batman & Batgirl 2-pack, and Catwoman.

NEW SUPPLY LISTINGS

In our collector supplies category we have some new offerings:

- a 3 3/4" figure display cylinder
- a super high quality acrylic case for carded action figures
- large and small loose figure storage blisters
- comic book bags & boards

SOME BATTLE STANDS TO BE DISCONTINUED

Due to lackluster sales, all of our colored 3 3/4" figure stands (that
is to say, all but the black and clear) will be discontinued. We have
some small remaining stock of grey, green, and red. When these are sold
out they will not be offered again.

Thanks for reading, and we hope you'll stop by and check out the site
soon.
