Wisconsin Website Sales

Direct sales on our web store have been open to our home state of Wisconsin! We are now registered and compliant to collect and remit sales tax for purchases shipped in the state of Wisconsin. Sales taxes will be automatically applied at checkout with any shipping zip codes assigned to the state of Wisconsin.

Future Expansion

We have met with a couple of local shops to work out our plans to open up another booth closer to our home area. More news to come as we work through the finer details but it will happen before this coming Fall. Stay Tuned.

Upcoming Projects

Jesse is hard at work on two more projects that we are excited about. One is with Mad Cave Studios and the other is for an upcoming Kickstarter coming soon.

Mercari

After staying in vacation mode for a couple of months to see how the recent policy changes would impact the platform. We have decided to remove our inventory from Mercari effective immediately. It wasn’t an easy decision to make but a necessary one as I do not believe they were the right changes to make. Mercari used to be our best-selling platform but with the rising costs, passing the burden of fees onto the buyer, and changes in the return policy being a smaller business that attempts to protect its customers I can’t stand by and remain silent. We tried to lower all our pricing to compensate the buyer for the fees being shifted to them instead of us. However, this isn’t a long-term solution as it’s another variable to consider as we cross-post and manage inventory across 4 platforms even with tools to help us it’s an administrative headache. Also as a buyer, I am not a fan of “hidden” fees and that is what it feels like to me since you don’t see the real price until you are checking out.

Whatnot

Since we now have Whatnot marketplace integration with our inventory software. We will be cross-posting all our listings into our marketplace store there in the coming weeks. We might also try a few anytime auctions! I am hopeful to start streaming again once I get our inventory back under control again from the recent shows.

Linktr.ee

We finally did it! Nothing like being late to the party. Our Link Tree is live with all our important links all in one spot. Check it out right here.

C2E2 & Website 2.0

C2E2 2024

We have officially been selected to have a table in Artist Alley at C2E2 this year! This is a huge step for Jesse of Lundberg Graphics and us. We have an awesome idea in the works to make our first show something to remember. More news coming soon. For now, here is our Save the Date!

Website Changes

Instagram Chat pop-up

Every day between the hours of 10 am - 9 pm CST there will be an Instagram chat button visible in the lower left corner of your screen. That will send you directly into Instagram messaging where we will try and respond as fast as possible. If it is after hours the best way to reach us is still via Instagram still but you will need to go to the app directly. Outside of these hours, we may not respond until the next day.

Promotional Pop-ups

You may have noticed that we now have a pop-up when you load the main page. It will highlight a featured item that we are promoting. Usually, this will be our newest Exclusive or an item tied to a Charity Event we are running. Our current one is featuring Charred Remains #1 which Benefits the NFFF!

Improved Reviews Page

We now have our eBay reviews interfaced directly with our website allowing you to see the reviews and an AI-generated summary. The only reviews we filter out are if we are the buyer. Nothing else is hidden to be fully transparent. This system is updated dynamically on its own in real time.

Store Changes

Slide Out Cart - You no longer have to load another page to see your cart. It will pop out over the top of your page when you click the cart button.
Filtering Options - We have replaced the breadcrumbs with filtering options to help you narrow down our items quickly and easily. On the desktop, there will be drop-downs at the top of the page. On mobile devices, there will be a button that will slide out the filtering options.
Celebrity Autographs - Celebrity autographs are here! We will slowly be adding our backstock of inventory as time allows.
Changed from Zoom to Lightbox - When you click on an image, this will load a pop-up of the images full screen instead of having to scroll around with the zoom tool

Upcoming Plans

Garding Against Cancer

We have signed up to be a sponsor for the Janesville Parker & Craig High School Charity Basketball game. The game will be on Feb 8th, 2024 at 7:15 pm at Craig High School in Janesville, WI. More information on the charity can be found here.

2024 Conventions

We have filed applications to bring our cover artist, Jesse Lundberg to a couple of Artist Alleys in the Greater Southern Wisconsin area. We are patiently awaiting the news to see if we were approved. If we get in, we have some very big news to announce. Stay tuned!

Toy Nexus Improvements

We have made some significant upgrades to our area at Toy Nexus. Recently, we have moved into a bigger space and added more displays to allow for us to bring in more inventory.

Custom Merchandise

We have started to look into making our T-Shirts and it could lead to some awesome ideas of having custom art designs created for our shop. More to come as we finalize the plans and equipment required. This was born out of the idea of having to buy company shirts to wear at cons. While we looked at 3rd party services to provide this, I felt like I wanted ours to have a personal touch and be created by us.
