We just went to review our site for some updates, and see it is down completely, along with the site for our web host.

Please bear with us as we investigate this situation, and work to bring our site back up as soon as possible.

Meantime, please also feel free to write us at salvom@prodigy.net with any comments or questions!

Finally, because we know some will ask, we did just send out a large number of Big Finish audio subscriber orders today, and those will include TWO issues of Big Finish's VORTEX magazine as well as supplemental offers being made ONLY to subscribers. These offers will include special prices for audios, subscriptions, and sets, and are the best prices we've offered in some time, or ever, on many of these titles, so be careful to look those over, and take advantage while the offer is available!

And, as always, thanks to everyone for your continued interest and support!

Just a quick note to anticipate some customer questions....

We were not allocated on the latest 3rd Doctor figures release, and had plenty for everyone who Advance Ordered them, as always.

However, we received our supplies over three days, instead of getting them in all at once...just one of those things about how carriers process their parcels.

So, some parcels did go out a little later than others. But, all parcels containing 3rd Doctor figures are now shipped.

And, because some were delayed, we also added free upgrades from Parcel Post to Priority Mail for many of the parcels shipped today in hopes of making up for this added delay.

As always, thank you for your support, and for your understanding with this current situation.
