This is Vinyl online contest... help em' out!


This is Vinyl, a new online vinyl shop, needs your help. They would like to know how they're doing so far from the collector community. Take a few minutes to review their online store HERE and send em' some feedback. Not only will you be helping them out, but you can win yourself some cool free toys. Comment on anything - such as website navigation, selection, price and shipping. Feel free to make any suggestions that might make the store better or what other toys you would like see them stock in the future. All you need to do is send in 3 constructive comments to feedback@thisisvinyl.com. In return for your valuable opinions they will randomly pick one person and send out a nice package of mini and blind box toys.

The prize includes:
A complete set of Nightmare Before Christmas Mini Trading Figures (Jack Skellington, Sally, Lock and Barrel, Dr. Finkelstein, Shock and Zero, and Ooogie Boogie) One blind box of Yoka Series 1, One blind box of 2" Jumping Brain Mini Figure Assortment!

The deadline for the feedback is Monday June 21th. The winner will be announced on their News/Coming Soon page the following day. Help out this new vinyl shop, be constructive and I look forward to seeing what all is said.

***UPDATE***
Your friends at This is Vinyl would like to say thank you for all of your emails. You have sent us many great ideas and suggestions to improve our store. We plan on implementing some of these ideas in the upcoming weeks. It was really great to hear from the collector community and learn your likes and dislikes. Just because the contest is over it doesn't mean you should stop sending us feedback. If you have any comments or requests let us know. We love hearing from fellow collectors.... which leads us to the winner who is Erin M. Her package of toys is ready and it will be sent out as soon as she sends her address.

We are a very young company and we are growing. In the next few weeks you will find some cool new arrivals from Toy2R and Kidrobot at our store. I encourage you to stop by and check out This is Vinyl from time to time. We want to become a great online store known for the friendliest customer service. Again, thank you so much for sharing your opinions with us. We will be sponsoring another contest/giveaway in the near future. -Nick

3A sneak peek...


3A dropped their newsletter a few days ago and amongst all the goodies shown there was some great sneak peeks of toys to be shipped and some that are still in production. First up is the Bot Head that will accompany the 3AA limited edition Reimi TQ. This marks our first peek at the Mortis in toy form if only just a bot head. This looks to be a great addition to any collection. Of course these are long sold out now but for those people that bought these sight unseen I'm sure they are more than pleased with the results.


The next item in the newsletter is sure to be a hit, the Dropcloth 4 pack sold earlier in the year is shipping out this week. For those unfamiliar the 4 pack came with Junglar, Zhivago (medic), Snowballer (winter), and Monty (desert) Dropclothes. Also shipping this week is the eagerly awaited 3AA member package. Complete with 1:12 Nom De Plume, membership card, and Exclusive T shirt.

We also got a sneak peek at the 2nd anniversary drop of the special edition Birthday Bambaboss. These are premade and will ship shortly after the sale in July. These will be priced at $60. and will be sold at bambaland.
