Welcome! Reiltoys is a small operation run from scenic Central Vermont. It all
started in 1986 when I received a G.I.Joe Ripper & Bazooka figure for my birthday
from my mother. Ever since then I have been a huge G.I.Joe fan. Before that
it was Star Wars and inbetween came Transformers, Visionaries, Battle Beasts,
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and countless other toylines but G.I.Joe was always
my favorite toy and the one that has endured and lived in my memory.
As I grew older I never quite grew out of the toys and started buying more and more!
It didn't take long before I had tons more than I ever owned as a kid, as I found ebay
in my college years it got worse, collection after collection merged with my own and
very soon I found a problem, I had too many toys! Hard to believe I know, so I went
about the task of organizing all of the spares and listing them up for sale on message boards.
As to be expected I would sell some and then replace them with yet another collection, it is
a vicious cycle and went on for a while.
June of 2004 we bought our first house, and with the house came lots and lots more room.
This extra room allowed me to actually sort and organize what I have and contacted my friend
over at Paradigm Consulting in Bethel VT, he set me up with some web space and away I went. It
was rough but I had a site with all of my items on it, it continued to grow to the point where
the HTML pages were no longer enough. This is where this store comes in. I decided to take the
plunge and make a real store! As to be expected a lot of the layout and graphics are geared
towards G.I.Joe, it really is hard to get past ones roots.
So please take a look around my site, what you'll see is the result of a collector and an
enthusiast like yourself, someone who buys too many toys and needs a way to keep cycling them
back out of the basement! As my personal collection continues to grow so will the inventory here
at Reiltoys. Please feel free to contact me anytime, through my contact page or directly at
josh@reiltoys.com also keep an eye out for me on the Joe boards under the name of Druss!
