Pranceatron Toys has been updated with new toys:

Important note for US customers: Canadapost will soon be retiring
the US small packet surface option for shipping. This is the cheapest
option that I usually use for orders under 1kg. By Feb 10, only airmail
will be available (rates start at $8), as well as a new service called
tracked packet which costs $14 (via Paypal) or $16 paid with by other
methods. So this will be the last update where I can offer relatively
cheap shipping so if you are in the US and looking to buy a small amount
of items, please pay before Feb. 10 to take advantage of the "cheap"
shipping rates. As far as I know, rates to Canada and international
destinations will only increase slightly.
Lastly, this last shipping increase has really made it quite unfeasible
to be running P-Toys the way it is right now, so I will likely be
liquidating larger lots of items either through my site or on eBay in
the coming months.
Email update notifications: On top of everything else, I was only able to get about half my mailing list information out before getting some "spam warning" message from hotmail, so I have no idea if I'll be able to reply to emails until tomorrow. Sorry to the other half of my list who did not get notified. I will likely have to scrap my update mailing list and rely on Blogspot and my Facebook fan page to advertise my updates in the future.

Sad news today - Canadapost has removed their "cheap" option for shipping to the US; the cheapest rate is now airmail which starts at $8 for 250 grams. So basically any orders under 1 kg to the US is going to be a complete shipping rip off. Canada & International have also gone up but much less drastically.
What this means to the future of Pranceatron Toys is likely that I will be liquidating 1kg lots of toys on eBay in the months to come as I can no longer with any conscience ask for the insane shipping rates that Canadapost charges. Of course while items remain on the site, they are still available, just be prepared for the shipping charges. I may do one last update this week and then off to eBay and a real job, I guess!
Thanks to all my wonderful customers over the years & see you on eBay :P!
