Shocker toy site going down?

Here's my speculation. Maybe they're just waiting to pay the bill when those orders from the big toy retailers (and the corresponding payment) comes in. (I'd post the link to the site, but apparently, it won't be around long...)

Due to some webhosting problems we will be down soon and maybe have to move to a new server. We might have to start over again from scratch so please be prepared. If anyone has the temp site forum (marvelmadman03) we use please post the link here so everyone can bookmark it in case this happens.

I'm sure it's the web host's fault though. They probably tried to make ol' Geoff pay for - oops! I mean, they were 'blackmailing' him for web hosting and that's not how Shocker does things so their current web host will be on Shocker's black list! (Sort of like RTM, TNI, AFT, Wizard, Toyfare, etc, etc)

we have already spoke with the Wal-mart buyer. He isnt buying anything new so he says.

Walmart has the crappiest of the crap... if Walmart isn't interested, who else would be? Stikfas no longer have a presence at the major brick and mortar stores. Xevoz are only found on clearance, since that line is dead. Why doesn't anyone tell Geoff that customizeable mini figs don't work at mass retail?
