Sunupapa - LINK DISABLED.  - UPDATE June 9 2011 : It appears that Sunupapa may be an unfortunate victim of the Great Earthquake and Tsunami of March 11, 2011. While we have not been able to confirm this news, it is known that Sunupapa's address was in Kamaishi, Iwate Prefecture, Japan and that this city was severely devastated by a tsunami. We hope that everyone involved with Sunupapa is ok, however due to the circumstances we send our condolescences to Sunupapa and it's staff.
June 2011 - Now it is reported that the website is listed as "account suspended". Due to these factors we have disabled the link to Sunupapa.
May 2011 - We received a notice from a member about an order from Sunupapa not being fulfilled and emails going unanswered.


Toyeast -  WARNING! LINK DISABLED. At the end of 2010 Toyeast disappeared from eBay, and early in 2011 Tomica was dropped from their website. Customer inquiries are going unanswered and their website has not been updated to reflect any eBay or Tomica adverts. Due to these factors we have disabled the link to Toyeast.
