Welcome

Welcome to my website. This website was started in July 9th, 2000. I started the site as a place to showcase the toys I have in my personal collection. Hopefully toy collectors will enjoy viewing the toys I have and possibly be swayed into buying one of them because of my pics. As always, enjoy what you see and if you have any questions please email me. I also look forward to any feedback my visitors have, good or bad.

Status Report

Currently you can only select and view what categories I have planned for the website. Click on the navigation links to the left and take a look around.
Hopefully the updates come quickly and often. But I can't promise that as I have alot of pictures to take and alot of code to enter. As you can imagine this can get time consuming. Any new updates you can find right here at the top of the homepage.

What to expect

I have a lot of toy interests and collect many different things. You can expect plenty of pictures of the toys I currently have in my collection. So look forward to many great Japanese and American toys of all types. I also would like to possibly review the toys I have but that's really on the back burner for now. There really won't be much information about the series that the toys come from. There are already so many great websites of this type that I never could compete with.

Goals and Hopes

Basically my site will serve two purposes. I've always wanted a website and I figured the best subject would be to display my toy collection. The website also will have plenty of pictures to educate and help my fellow collectors decide if a toy is worth it to them. I've been collecting Japanese Toys for a while now and one thing has always bothered me about the hobby. The lack of quality sites with pictures of the toys. I hope my website can fill this void and possibly help generate interest in the hobby of Japanese toy collecting. I am also a collector of American toys and you can look forward to seeing pictures of these toys also.

Requests and Corrections

I am by no means an expert in the field of toy collecting. I am also human and I can and will make mistakes. If you see any errors in my toy information please email it to me so I can correct. I only want the correct information listed hear. Also if you have any inquires or recommendations to improve this site please email them to me. I always look forward to hearing positive as well as negative feedback from the collectors who view my site.
I am new to the world of HTML programming and all the code this website consists of was entered by hand so there may be some mistakes. If you find mistakes such as dead links email them to me so I can fix them. I want this to be as enjoyable a visit as possible.
As you can see at the bottom of this page the recommended browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0. But I understand some people use and prefer Netscape Navigator. I have checked and verified that my website will run with Netscape Navigator 4.0, just not as nicely as with Internet Explorer 5.0. As for older versions I have no idea if the website will run properly and therefore I am making no promises.
