Comments on: What’s up with the Twin Moons Anime Store? http://www.tamim.net/2009/08/19/whats-up-with-the-twin-moons-anime-store/ Jack-of-all-trades, master of some.

I will definitely revisit the idea of starting the business again if and when this horrible economy picks up. It was always a labor of love and I would love to do it again sometime.

I just wanted to say I am sorry to hear about what is happening to TMPAnime. I hope everything works out for you. Whenever I ordered from you, the service was always great and the pvcs I got were top notch. Thanks again and good luck in your endeavors. By the way do you think you will restart TMPanime again when the economy decides to pick up again? I stumbled across your store randomly as well like Randy.

By the way do you think you will restart TMPanime again when the economy decides to pick up again?

It's been quite a painful experience for me as well, but sadly one that has been unavoidable. I still have connections with Toynami and most other U.S. distributors so if you need some Robotech stuff, I should be able to still get them. Just drop me a line at service at tmpanime dot com. As for the ebay sales, I'm currently liquidating our remaining stock with weekly auctions of about 10-15 items per week. After that's gone, I might consider going back to what I love most - Macross and Robotech - and see if I can just sell those. It would be small enough to be manageable. We'll just have to see how things go. Hi Randy,

I found your site completely by accident one day and since then you have become my one stop shop for all my Robotech/Macross collectibles. I know how hard it is for small businesses to operate today as my grandfather is thinking of shuttering the doors of his 30 year old motorcycle business due to the economy. I will be keeping an eye on your auctions and hope all goes well. Will you be keeping anything in terms of continuing ebay sells after you close the store?

As you can imagine, we have a large volume to go through so it will be a bit of a slow process and I apologize for that. But please be assured that if you had previously made full or partial payments on a pre-order, they will either be shipped or your payment will be fully refunded if the items are not in stock. I appreciate your patience. Hi Robert,

However you still owe me a figure (or refund), you charged my credit card fifty percent for when it was put on hold. I sent you an e-mail to your service address. I'd sure like to hear from you.

They just about match the retail prices that you can find figurines for in Akihabara. When I was stationed in Georgia, I used to order figurines from you all the time until I moved to Japan. (Notably the entire set of Angel Chromosome figurines.) I wish you good luck and if you ever reopen and I somehow end up being back in the states, I'll definitely order from Twin Moons again. So thanks. P.S. I appreciate the hand signed Twin Moons cards you send out with every order. It's nice to know that someone appreciates their customers. James Tamim,

Yes, I definitely remember our conversation. Apparently the rich keep saying that things are getting better...for them obviously because they're getting the fat checks from our tax dollars (Goldman gave out another round of bonuses). Sadly, I'm not seeing anything improving for the rest of us. Great to hear from you! Yes, I definitely remember our conversation.

I came by your place to pick up a figure in '08 and we had a nice talk about the sad state of the economy at that time. Sorry to hear it has taken more of a toll on your hobby/business. We all hope this economy gets better and hope to see your hobby-business up and running again. Take care and I'll keep in touch via email. Thanks again for providing great stuff with great customer service. Hey Tamim,
