"Anyone believing this new TALK fairy tale is an investment will be completely wiped out."
At these prices, I'll take my chances. The stock is obviously NOT a scam as some would like everyone to believe.
You've peaked my interest. It wasn't that long ago that you were calling this stock a scam. What has changed.
You've gotten further than most. I'd be interested in hearing whether or not you're able to get to the next level.
Judging by who just showed up on this board, maybe we'll be seeing some movement.
Has anyone tried to contact Lopez
What difference does it make. At this price, a small investment can possibly reap a decent reward. And if it doesn't, who cares.
Maybe because there hasn't been one news release or PR with any substance for months. Nothing but dumping
What's with all the volume today?
A PR would help but I think Darren is a little busy selling paper right now.
And the reason for that statement is........
It was just an observation. Nothing more, nothing less.
A lot of shares. Not much in value.
I should be more specific because they do have a great product. But it's looking like they don't have the skills needed to get this product to market. The loss of credibility is in their management team. That being said, I'm holding and will probably buy more when it hits .0001 and hope for a nice ride up.
Unfortunately, this stock has lost any credibility that it may have had. Hopefully, we gain some momentum between now and May.
So sorry he's in a "quiet period". We certainly don't want to disturb him while the stock is tanking.
Seriously? You obviously don't know him
When are you going to pin the Q3 Financials???????????
And yet all of the Defendants still continue to have a business relationship. Tells you how much basis there is to that complaint. Ho Hum.
When are you going to pin the Q3 Financials
Thanks for that.
It is my understanding that they have had these products ready to launch but decided to hold off and put their entire focus on the Cloudpets through the Holiday season. It appears to be paying off.
The market is acting favorably to yesterdays news which was at the very least what most expected. GREAT THINGS TO COME!!!!!
GO STOY!!!!!!!
That is more than suspicious and if that's what's going on, it would be a low blow indeed. It's one thing to bash a stock on public forums but you'd have to be a real scumbag to leave negative feedback for consumers that is false and misleading.
LOL!!!!
GO STOY!!!!!
NEWS OUT!!!!!

Spiral Toys Reports Third Quarter 2015 Results
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 12, 2015) - Spiral Toys (OTCQB: STOY), a leading provider of mobile-connected, wireless entertainment technology, reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.
Q3 2015 Highlights
-- Revenue totaled $4.3 million compared to $1.5 million for the previous
quarter and $98,000 for the same quarter of 2014.
-- Shipped 950,000 CloudPet components to third-party contractors, compared
to 339,000 during the previous quarter, bringing the total to
approximately 1.3 million.
-- Generated $160,000 of royalty fees compared to $13,000 during the
previous quarter based on shipments of 540,000 CloudPets from Spiral
Toy's distributors to retailers.
-- Spiral and its partners developed a new marketing campaign to drive
mobile app usage and holiday sales at retailers selling CloudPets
including Walmart, Target, Toys"R"Us and Kmart.
Management Commentary
"Our performance during the third quarter reflected the completed transition from the development stage of our company as we generated increased revenue related to our flagship connected plush toy, CloudPets, " commented Spiral Toys' CEO Mark Meyers.
"While we are pleased with the successful retail launch of CloudPets, we believe the technology platform and business model has proven successful and, more importantly, something we can apply to other products both within the toy industry, and beyond."
"Our focus is on creating a unique digital experience around everyday items, that leverages our proprietary connected platform. As we look forward, we plan to release three new products in 2016 in an effort to market and further build our digital ecosystem of connected users."
Financial Overview
Revenue for the third quarter of 2015 totaled $4.3 million, which is up from $1.5 million during the previous quarter and $98,000 for the same quarter in 2014. The increases were driven by the production launch of our CloudPets line during the second quarter of 2015 and continued shipments throughout the third quarter of 2015.
Gross margin was 16.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2015, generating gross profit of $690,000, which compares with gross margins of 11.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, generating gross profit of $180,000. The improvements were driven by the increased production and shipments of CloudPet components.
Total operating expenses during the third quarter of 2015 totaled $941,000, which compares to $941,000 for the second quarter of 2015, and $294,000 for the third quarter of 2014. The increase reflects a $327,000 investment into product development offset by the sequential decrease in legal and professional fees.
Net loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 totaled $187,000, or $(0.00) per basic and diluted share, which compares to a loss of $831,000 or $(0.02) per basic and diluted share for quarter ended June 30, 2015, and a loss of $219,000 or $(0.01) per basic and diluted for the same period in 2014.
As of September 30, 2015, working capital totaled $913,000, which compared to $183,000 at June 30, 2015. This change was resulted from the completion of a private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $865,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

In the same Walmart reviews, it appears that someone from the Cloudpets team tried to reach out to her so that they could resolve the issue that she was having.
To dragynflye
11/2/2015
We are so sorry to hear that you had trouble connecting with your husband's phone. We want to work with you to help troubleshoot on how to get this corrected for you. If you will leave your email address we will reach out to you to work on a resolution so you, your child and husband can communicate during his deployment. We thank him for his duty in the US Military! --Your Friends, Cloud Pets
I'm not saying that they'll never get a bad review but they have put together a great Customer Service team to try and help customers get past any issues with their product.
They are working their butt's off to get the name out there and get positive feedback. I am just blown away by these Cloudpets and what they are capable of.
GO STOY!!!!!!!
Good Morning Warren. Very nice close
We're both on the same page Warren and I'm happy to be on board with you.
STOY is focusing on their Cloudpets for the Holiday season and that's a good thing. It is my understanding that they will be launching their new product lines after the Holidays have passed so we have a lot of great things to look forward to.
You've been predicting that ever since I came on this board and as of Friday's close, I'm green. Good thing that I didn't listen but I never listen to baseless claims by disgruntled investors.
I could care less what they did for the 2nd quarter 2015 and I'm really not that concerned about the results of the quarter coming up. I've invested long in this company based on what I feel will be a solid future. After the Holiday season Earnings is when I will make a decision whether or not I want to stay vested in this stock and not before.
You would do much better on an IHUB board that is actually promoting a scam company. Perhaps you should give that some thought.
You obviously aren't familiar with pump and dump campaigns which STOY has never been a part of and I'm not here to give you an education. Have a good day.
Holy crap!!!! Are you seriously going to compare Spongetech to STOY in order to prove your point. Please tell me that your not comparing what happened in the sale of stocks related to SPONGES to what STOY has done and is doing now in their implementation and sales of ADVANCED HIGH TECH COMMUNICATION PRODUCTS TARGETED FOR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN. Please tell me that's not the best that you have to offer to justify your position that STOY is a scam. For anyone that's not familiar with Spongetech, here's a short synopsis :
"Either they believed the product was a real product because it was some sort of real product," said Hartley Bernstein, a New York lawyer who used to help unscrupulous market operators cook up penny-stock frauds and now runs a blog explaining how to identify fraudulent companies. "Or they knew they had a phony product and wanted to make it seem real, in which case then you do things that make it look real. Spongetech marketed itself as "America's cleaning company" and in infomercials touted its unique "high-tech cleaning system." In reality, it was in the humdrum business of selling soap-filled sponges to help clean kitchens, cars or pets. It also sold a SpongeBob SquarePants sponge filled with baby soap. As for the sponges' "tech properties," Mr. Metter explained in TV appearances that the sponges contained a patented polymer "activated by water and mechanical squeezing."
Spongetech's majority of sales came from Infomercials which they paid for with stockholders money.
Here's some other things that STOY DOES NOT DO that would be associated with penny stock scams :
Pump and dump schemes by using false or misleading statements to hype stocks, which are "dumped" on the public at inflated prices.
Dump and dilute schemes where companies repeatedly issue shares for no reason other than taking investors' money away.
I can give you a long list of scam stocks that are posted on IHUB and you can go to any of those and shout from the rooftops that they are a scam but I can tell you that STOY WILL NOT BE ON THAT LIST.
Here's a NEWS FLASH for you '236T568'. SCAM companies on the OTC don't produce, license or sell products. They just have the appearance of doing so in order to orchestrate pump and dumps. And they certainly don't have any products in major retail outlets because those outlets are very particular about what goes on their shelves and I can tell you that none of it comes from SCAM OTC companies. There is nothing that these guys do that give the slightest appearance of a SCAM company. Do your DD.
That's great to hear Warren. Thanks for sharing. This company may have stumbled along the way since inception but they've been taking all of the necessary steps since then to insure success of their products. That's all that matters now. I am happy to be a part of this. We've got a winner Warren and the popularity is catching on fast. Thanks again for the post. It's always good to hear first hand what's happening in the retail market with our product.
Oh my! Who cares...CLOSED AT 0.397!!!!!!
Exactly. Have a great day Warren.
GO STOY!!!!!!!
Yikes! 0.395 and rising!
Holy Cow!!!! I'd better put a sell order in right away. (I'm being sarcastic if you didn't catch that)
Great article Warren. Absolutely looking forward to everything that this company has to offer. What a great product they have for the Christmas season and beyond. Thanks for sharing that.
Wow!!!! Great post Warren. These are some major players endorsing Cloudpets. This company is going to do GREAT this holiday season and beyond. FANTASTIC POST!!!!!! This is better than a company released PR. This is the real deal!!!!
GO STOY!!!!!!!!
Great job Warren!!! Very happy to see that!!!!
