Bad Cat's annual Memorial Day Sale is in full swing now.  Great deals on diecast airplanes and tanks.

We are implementing some trial software that some customers may encounter while they are shopping for diecast tanks and airplanes in our store.  The software involves a pop-up, discount coupon, and a count-down timer and should be a popular addition to our store once everything gets perfected.  If you experience a bug, get timed-out, or otherwise have an unsatisfactory experience with this experimental feature please give us a call at 1-888-848-4690 and let us know about it.

It's now late Friday afternoon and I think (crossing fingers) that we've slayed the last of our website Gremlins.  We've had a slew technical issues that suddenly raised their ugly head.  Slow page load times (called latency in the business) prevented many from completing checkout earlier in the week.  After many days of searching, we discovered the culprit to be the newsletter signup section causing compatibility problems with the host.  Once fixed in an unrelated bug, Yahoo!, Paypal, and our credit card processor, decided they would stop speaking electronically to one another and transactions could not be processed.  This issue has also been remedied.

We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced and hope anyone left out in the cold will try to place their order again as all should be working correctly now.  We appreciate everyone who contacted us letting us know the issues they were experiencing.

Thanks again.

War Master 1:72 scale diecast have been extremely popular since their debut last year.  The pieces of this line have excellent details and features, but at the same time, are very competitively priced.  Collectors love value and War Master certainly brings value home in spades.  The May shipment is enroute and due here in just a couple of days.  Among the armor pieces coming are an M35 Duece-and-a-Half, Panzerwerfer, Jagdpanther, and Hetzer.  Two diecast aircraft are also in this shipment; a Stuka and a D.520.

Dragon has announce the summer release of the world's first Flak 36 88mm gun.  Filed in the "why didn't I think of that" category, the Flak 88 has actually been on the 72-scale collector's wish list for a long time, just nobody seemed to listen until now.  The Flak 88, as it is commonly called, was at first an effective anti-aircraft weapon and then was discovered to be a deadly accurate and reliable ground artillery piece as well.  Dragon's first photos of the Flak 88 look stunning.  Preorders are open now for this new release.
