It's an owner's profession and how they feed their families. And it represents their future. When some thug bashes our com...

It appears that no alien figure was included with the flight leader #28 for some reason but the rest of the flight has a version of him in there. ??

21st has confirmed this as so.

Here's a comparsion of the new UPS Ground Calcs (Fedex and DHL, also in a couple of weeks). In this example, all packages are OS1 in size and 22 lbs but the dimensional weight varies and being sent from here to Ft. Lauderdale. Old calcs from last week: 21x16x16 = 85" Cost $20.44 22x16x16 = 86" Cost ...

Where did you hear that? I googled it and couldnt find anything. ups.com lists the last rate increase as on 1/1/07. The 30 lb rule for oversized packages has been in effect for some time. That's why I use Fedex for larger stuff. They didn't increase the tables but changed the way packages are calcu...

UPS Launches Huge Ground Rate Hike, Fedex and DHL Also

Just a heads-up with the hope of saving everybody a little money . . . New (sky-high) UPS Ground rates went into effect for all businesses late last week. UPS has changed the way they calculate ground charges with a big emphasis on volume. The largest impact is on shipping big boxes that don't weigh...

While you're waiting for an A-10 . . .

I'm afraid this is as close as we're going to get to a 1:18 A-10 for now.

These just came in.

Most were appreciative including a very nice letter we received from the Indiana Squadron Com...

If memory serves, we brought in 700 on that exclusive. Since that squadron has been retired, I would think further production to be unlikely. I don't think I would part with it.

Not to stir the pot, but Ebay fees and Paypal costs are not supposed to be added to the final cost of the item. They should be considered when setting the minimum price of the item being sold. I know it is an Ebay sin to say that you are charging for such fees and it is also not considered ok to ta...

Bad Cat Toys prides itself in being the straightest shooter in industry. We do not engage in "gouging" our customers whether they purchase from us or on Ebay.
