November 2007

Greetings Gwin fans! Happy Autumn! We've been busy gearing up for the Winter VTN show, making Toy Break weekly, and planning what to bring you in 2008! Now we're tired and we're going to stuff ourselves with stuffing, green bean casserole, and maybe some turkey. On to the news... - Custom MegaGwins Online - Vinyl Toy Network Winter Show - Toy Break Weekly - Separate Toy Break Newsletter

Custom MegaGwins Online... The MegaGwin Show is over and it was a great success! Now you can purchase custom MegaGwins that are still avaialble at www.gwinarmy.com/megagwinshow.php! They will only be up for a limited time, so check them out now! We also want to thank Alpha Cult for being wonderful, as always, and thank you to all of our artists who just kicked ass with the MegaGwins. Most of all, thank YOU! Without you Gwin fans, we couldn't do awesome stuff like this. You all deserve hugs, but you'll have to come collect in person at the VTN show or maybe next SDCC!

Vinyl Toy Network Winter Show Come visit us, the October Toys crew, at the Vinyl Toy Network Winter show! This event is always a fun, laid back way to get some holiday shopping done or find that special something for yourself. As usual, the first 100 visitors get a free goody bag, so get there early...it's worth it! Find more info, a growing list of vendors, and artist signing schedule at VinylToyNetwork.com Date: December 2, 2007 When: 10 am to 5:30 pm Where: Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, CA Admission: Free We'll have the Gwins with us, our special edition Ghost Gwins, and a super limited, yet to be announced, Winter VTN exclusive "13 Days of Christmas" Zombie!

Separate Toy Break Newsletter... As of right now, we are officially separating this mailing list (October Toys) and the Toy Break mailing list. There may be a little crossover from time to time, like when SDCC rolls around, but here's what you can generally expect: The Toy Break mailing list will be for updating you Toy Break fans when the new weekly episodes come out and other pertinent Toy Break news. This mailing list will remain your source for all things October Toys including new products, Gwin news, upcoming shows, etc. To get things rolling, we have put everyone from this list on the Toy Break list as well. Hopefully you all stay on both, but if you must unsubscribe from one for some reason, please visit ***** to change your subscription settings.

Other interesting stuff… - Fun Thanksgiving fact: Turkeys can drown if they look up when it is raining. - We had to move the Toy Break video files to a new web host due to bandwidth issues (which means more of you are watching and that rocks!). We found a great one called Dreamhost.com that starts at $7.95/month with 145 GB storage and 1.5 TB of bandwidth (which means a lot of people can look at your stuff!). If you're looking for web hosting, check this one out and you can even help support Toy Break by using our promo code "toybreak1" to save $50 on monthly plans or $60 on yearly plans!

Thank you everyone and hope you're having an amazing Autumn!
