Joplin Tornado Relief Effort


Yesterday we visited the site of a storage unit that we had rented in Joplin along the path of destruction.  The building, of course, was no more.  Amidst the rubble, however, we were able to find several cases of our inventory.  The boxes were wet and torn, but many of the models themselves were all right.  

These are for sale on our website as part of the Joplin, Missouri, tornado relief effort. It's an International TD-24 Forestry Crawler/Dozer with Blade, recovered from the damage zone. The ENTIRE PURCHASE PRICE WILL BE DONATED to one of the relief agencies working in Joplin. 

The models themselves are un-damaged but the packaging has been torn and wet.  A certificate will accompany each model certifying its recovery and your donation to charity.  Thank You.
 Spec-Cast Item #ZJD-1532-TORNADO - 1/25 Scale - Price = $50.00




Highway 61 Brings Us a Beauty


We're back in business today, following a few days of power outages here at 3000toys.  Most of our staff is also back working today.  Please continue to keep Joplin in your thoughts and prayers throughout the next weeks and even months.  

On a lighter note, I wanted to share with you a great new car from Highway 61 that comes in four different colors.  We just received this last Thursday, and it's ready to ship out to you as soon as we can!

It's the 1969 Baldwin Motion Camaro.  Features on this beauty include, but certainly are not limited to, fully opening doors and hood, detailed engine and interior, functional steering and suspension, rubber tires, authentic OEM paint scheme, and quality window box.  These come in 1/18 scale and retail for $99.99.

Back to Work

We're back at the offices here at 3000toys.com, but our hearts and minds are still with those directly affected by the tragic tornado that hit our community on Sunday evening. Stories of survival and destruction are everywhere and we have two staff members who were directly affected by the storm. We ask that your prayers go out for them, and the rest of Joplin, as they try to piece their lives back together.

On the business side of things, we certainly appreciate your patience and understanding as we try to power through several days of work this morning. We are still committed to outstanding customer service and will do our best to quickly address all of the work that has come across our desks while we were without power.

If you are interested in trying to help, the City of Joplin has established the following phone numbers for people interested in donating their time or items to aid in the recovery effort:
  • Individual volunteers wanting to donate their time should call 417-625-3543
  • Volunteers wanting to donate items can call 417-625-3542
  • Volunteer groups (churches, businesses, etc.) should call 314-623-9991
Thanks once again for your thoughts, prayer, and support.
