Posts: 1837 (05/20/09 13:07:15) Sixth Division Staff Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Tags : None As many of you know, John at Atlantic Toys passed away a little over a year ago. Liz has decided to close down the online store and move on. While I hate to see Atlantic Toys go away, I certainly understand the why. Liz has not decided on what day she will close the store as of yet, perhaps by July 1st or sooner. In the meantime, much of what is left in stock is marked down considerably. Just thought you guys might decide to stop by there in case there's anything you find interesting. http://stores.homestead.com/AtlanticToys/StoreFront.bok Let's all wish Liz the very best in the future.

Atlantic Toys was the only E-tailer I know of that would sell show exclusives without a price mark-up. I always appreciated that - it was little perk for those lucky enough to snag them. -Dave

It's always sad to see the better ones go that have good pricing and shipping. I sent in an order myself today for a figure and a weapons set. I am not sure how many times I ordered from Atlantic Toys in the past I have ordered so much over the years thru several different Etailers. I always miss the people and Etailers that I have dealt with and have had contact with in the hobby. Atlantic Toys, Liz and John will always be remembered.

Both paks are marked down a pretty good bit.

Anyway I got an order in last week too bad it's going to be the last. John Romano New England Area One-Sixth Scale

For a long time they were my first choice for new boxed figures. Always the lowest price with shipping factored in. The flat $4.95 shipping charge was good for a single boxed figure and awesome if you were buying 3 or 4 figures. I also remember when I did place a large order, there was often a nice extra like a DML carded set included free. Atlantic Toys will be missed. Thank you, Liz, I wish you all the best! Brian

Great prices on new figures and as DAK mentioned, the DX specials were always priced the lowest there - you had to be quick on the draw! Gibri - I also remember receiving nice bonuses like DML carded sets for larger orders and around Christmas time it seems. I can't think of another etailer who does that. It's clear that John & Liz put customers first, above all else. They were one of the first e-tailers I discovered online (from the 21st Century links page, IIRC) and they will be missed. I wish Liz all the best and hope she knows the 1/6th world would welcome her back anytime. Still Looking for the MDFC Blurred Edge Winter/Sniper Mask!

Not to hurt anyone else's feelings but John and Liz were always my favorites to deal with. I always found the combination of prices and shipping to be the best around. The extras were always great as well. One time I even got a boxed figure as an extra! All of my exclusives came from Atlantic Toys! and at great prices. I managed to snag several CH figures in the last couple of weeks. Best wishes to Liz in the future. I will definitely miss you and Atlantic Toys!
