January 5, 2006 - (Sponsor Announcement) - News from SmallJoes.com:

Hi all,

Welcome to 2006! We hope that everyone had a happy holiday and a safe, enjoyable new year's celebration. Here at SMALLJOES we are looking forward to another year of offering you exciting collectible products.

SMALLJOES.COM IS MOVING!
========================

We are moving to a new warehouse location in mid-January. Between 01/15 and 01/25 order processing will likely be delayed by up to a week as we move our inventory and set up the new workspace. Your patience during this extremely busy time will be greatly appreciated. In the end, this will benefit all customers in the form of greater efficiency as well as facilitating future expansion.

GI JOE
======

Wave 3 of the DTC single-carded figures is in stock. The B.A.T. Attack 6-pack is also a recent arrival.

The newest comic 3-packs will be arriving in a day or two.

SALES AND PRICE REDUCTIONS
==========================

We are having a sale this month on Marvel Superhero Showdown figures. All figures are 10 - 30% off. The sale will run through January 20th so take this opportunity to get a great price on these 3 3/4" highly articuled Marvel characters!

Prices have been significantly reduced on the GI JOE trading card game packs. Purchase a sealed box of foil packs and save even more.

POSTAL RATES
============

The USPS (United States Postal Service) is raising rates across the board on January 8th, 2006. Unfortunately, we must pass this cost along. This should be no surprise considering the rising price of oil around the globe. Frankly, we are surprised that the rate increase didn't occur before now. Rates will be going up for all shipping services - including international. Please get your orders in before January 7th, 2006 to avoid paying higher shipping and handling charges.

TOY SHOP MAGAZINE ARTICLE
=========================

Watch the January issues of Toy Shop magazine for an article about SMALLJOES.COM. The article features a discussion and interview with owner Corey Stinson about the business as well as a hefty dose of opinion on the current state of the GI JOE 3 3/4" collecting hobby. Should be interesting!
