What new additions have taken to this awesome archive?? Look below for the latest and oldest additions to the Super Toy Archive. There are also smaller additions that go unmarked, such as addition to backgrounds and colors, or individual figures. Changes that occur will mainly be the layout of the sections.
June 20 2009
I wanted to say I'm still here. Having other things I need to take care of in life so the page has suffered. Overall the page is going to updated, and I mean a change in layout. Though I have not updated in a LONG TIME, I have been taking tons of photos and preparing them. These photos range from finishing off old sections, new sections, new rarities and prototyps. This change will not come in the next months, but I'm trying to get it all set up and ready to go, so when it does come, updates will happen weekly with tons of new stuff.
July 23rd 2008?
Holy Crap these past few months have gone by fast. I have spent a lot of time traveling and then catching up. Because of this, I had to push a lot of deadlines back. The D&D page at least got completely updated... but the Dino Riders page was supposed to be done by February! Let alone I had a quick few days to work and I started to reconstruct areas of the Battle Beasts section and had to abruptly stop. Now all the deadlines get pushed back further because I have to get the Thundercats section revamped quickly! Arg.
The new update is a good one! The D&D page was redone with thumbnail galleries and added some previously unknown prototype information. The rest of the pages has had some fun things added here and there... but most time was spent on D&D. Next update I cannot promise but I'am looking to get done within a month.

Merry Christmas! I sadly do not bring you much to bear. Is it because I do not have much to present to you? Nay. I have been busy (again) and I did not want to start anything new until the new webpage layout is ready. I have been busy with the holidays and now all my tedious work has come to a end. I have cleaned the junk up in my house, cleaned the computer of files / photos and got a few major photos up on the webpage. What I'am really getting to is the fact I now have the time and nothing else is going to take it away.
SO MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY NEW YEAR & Hopefully this crappy page will get overhauled next time I write.

Welcome back! Thanks to Mr. Hitchens, who asked for me to change the "Get Your Ass To Mars"... so i did. Now you have to suffer a horribly bad joke from Dinosaucers!
This update includes me adding a new section, Cadillac's & Dinosaurs! I had worked on this back in 98'. Scary huh? The rest of the update includes a mess of cool pieces. I'm currently more excited about other things.

No, your not seeing things. I just did two updates a month apart! That's a record! Not only that, the GoBots archive is now open! There are a few bugs with backgrounds pending on your navigator... and the foreign sections will open in time gradually. have fun with the galleries!
June 9th
Ok! TIME TO KICK ASS! I'm throwing up stuff right and left now. Not only am I doing that, I have complete Gobots section to where I have to add the knock-offs and a little bit of Java. Just think. Clear cut pictures, dates, ID's, variations, displays, prototypes, combiners, pictures of all packages and thumbnail galleries in alphabetical and by gobot numbers!
What? More?! FINE! RobotechToys.com has now given it's site to Super Toy Archive! This once awesome site that started in 1998 was closed down in 2000. The entire site is now back up and running! It is currently as it was when taken down. I will be adding a whole pile to it! I will be switching my old section to macross only! This rocks!
The Future: next update is going to be the Gobots section in a week or two. I will then begin to work on the Dino Riders section. Prototypes will not be up for another month. You don't wanna know... trust me. Since Gobots is going up, Robotech is finished... plans fall to redoing the He-Man section. Then I may do Bucky O'Hare.. and then stop and redo the site some more. Banners are in the works.... a new front page... and whole lot of goodies. It's summer time bi'atch! I wanna be a vinyl baby baby duck!!!

It's been a tough past few months. All my webpage work focus is on the Gobots section which will reopen soon. Photos of every gobot, loose...packaged... ohhh it took sooo long... so much time... so much pain. Family abandoned me as I worked countless hours. Never turned a single piece of Oagnic Chemistry in. My teacher asked me, "What are your prioroties?" painfull, it was Gobots. Screw Life!
I have a big road trip a head and felt I should give the page a small update before anything else. If you see a penske 10" truck driving from LA to midwest, it could be by ass. Sales page has been constantly updated... hey! I need money like the rest of you. I've added some interesting pieces, and a unproduced D&D toy which rocks my world currently. The Gobots page will not be launched as stated earlier with this update. I expect about 3 weeks or so it will be up and running.
With Gobots out of the way... I was deciding to redo Dino Riders or create Robotech and picture every figure, variants and vehicle. Instead of listening to myself, I asked the Magic 8 Ball. I think Dino Riders will be fun and is exactly what is needed. This time the section will be created faster than Gobots. C'mon, 600+ photos & 150 html's for Gobots vs. 120 or so photos for Dino Riders and 50 html's. BIG FREAKIN DIFFERENCE. Besides, it seems people are looking for new goodies and I have a ton of Dino Riders prototypes and artwork to show you guys. So for now, it's just revamping old sections and making them cleaner and nicer.

It's been a long road traveled. I finally get the time needed to work on the page and overhaul some of those nasty sections with the most horrid layouts and....and.. Christmas sales dominate my time. I was able to complete the majority of the Convertors section and chose to launch it. I had a skeleton of it back in 1998 that I had to trash. But it's up! I have quickly begun the Gobot section. I closed the old one down and have just finished the basic Gobots section. Still have to do the Super Gobots etc. MR, Machine Men etc. will follow later. ETA: Early Jan.
Other than that, anyday now the Dino Rider prototype will come. Hordes of them. Nothing else in the works for now. Sorry for the puny update.
November 18th
Well, I lost the He-Man prototype deal. How? Mailboxed crashed and lost the e-mail. I have crappy luck with He-Man protos. I was so close to getting a Hardcopy Blonde Teela once... sniff sniff..... This update really was a focus on the Transformers Brazilian section which is complete and currently the most accurate guide on the net. Hope to nail the Peru minicars and various other South American countries soon. Next update with focus on Dino Riders with more art and prototypes. This time around we also offer two boxed Photon figures!? Yea, no one else has heard of them either.
I will be working my ass off for the next few weeks on the Thundercats and Battle Beasts line. Battle Beasts only needs a pile of variations added, the Greek section added and then I need to put my head together with others to finish off the Translated section.
The site's new layout is being worked on and expect quicker updates now. I have a lot of cool things to show for Dino Riders (unproduced?) and Transformers (prototypes?). For Battle Beasts I have updated some text and now must start planning the new big addition to the page. Translations of many Beastformers and Laser beasts toys, cards and pamphlets are nearing completition and need to get up!
So from now on I will start to get the new main page open, a hovering menu bar on each page and will then chrun out renewed sections not including Battle Beasts, GoBots and Transformers which I feel look superb.
I'm out of school and I'm going to make this page from a pile of shit to a shinier and prettier shitty page. I'm going to have the main page cleaned up, and all other sections that will be rebuilt the way they should be with programs and scripts. If you have not noticed, this entire page was hand typed and laid out by yours truly.
The next section to be worked on is Dino Riders. It was the first page up of Dino Riders and it needs a cleaning...bad. But in disputes right now of images and it is possible if not settled the way I want and it needs to be...I will not show the world some serious goodies of the line including unproduced Dino Rider stuff. Other news, I thankfully I look back and all the hard work is behind me. The horrid GoBots page is done. That page took a FREAKIN EON. All those photos... so many toys. Sections will be easier to rebuild and rephotograph things now. This is the agenda.
Some nice Transformers artwork added and other cool things. Plans are now C&D, then Dino Riders archive with get revamped very shortly. The stuff I will be placing up there will make many of you sick to see.
Next update will be fast than you can think...... (no seriously.. you don't think that fast) :P
Then there was the problem with Yahoo enforcing their memory usage. I was originally hosted by a small compnay, and they got bought out, and bought out etc. etc until I landed on yahoo. I thought I was grandfathered with unlimited memory, and I was not using that much. But nonethless, they sent me my 2nd notice without sending a first, and the race for a new host and backpup of all current files took priority. Yahoo wanted to charge me $20 per a month for ever 200MB used. So you can see I HAD TO MOVE!! My brother has stated I should take donations for the archive... by im not sure yet.
