remember, that Amazon sells Target stuff, so who knows if this is really Target merchandise or Amazon merchandise... Someone should Ask Ron or Erika if Target buys stuff from kidzMedz
otcbb. The company can't apply for a big board at its current range due to share price. I think you have to trade > $1 for 30-60 consequitive days. I'd love that, but we're not quite there. LOL

Thanks to ky0 for the documents
I'm not sure I care who it is. Maybe one of those Ad's that Sasha Gray just did for American Apparel socks (google it). Maybe that would bring interest.
They need to find a way to take 500 shoes and send them to somee Actors and Actresses, or someone that will wear it on TV. Like Paris Hilton. LOL
probably the same as wednesday. I think this will be relatively dead Friday, unless people start to poke around on their last day before the holiday break ends.
Bid .05, Ask .06 (NITE)
That's right, no one will die in the never-ending-saga that is the creation of the CRAM!
Happy new year folks. :)
Manti sort of suggested that we would have limited interest in early January. That could mean bailing by some of those disinterested in holding for a coule of additional weeks. Hopefully a couple of my plays will work out over the next couple of days (MDGC and DWNFQ) so I can put some more money back to pick up cheapies if with a high volume sell, this drops below .004.
I probably have enough shares here, and it might make sense to diversify, but this could be too good to pass up!!!!
any way you can confirm the filing on that, or check the DTC report to confirm for us? I'll jump back in friday if they are 144 restricted.
dude, what's to figure out? It goes to 55 cents, then back to 1.10, then back to 55 cents, then back to 1.10. Pretty regular pattern.
4 Million in volume - that's all. Nothing special for the slowest day of the year! LOL
Jeez guys - it's new years eve - why are you all posting on this awesome company's IHUB board when you could be out being wild and crazy!
hey, were you able to pick up your shares that you wanted?
A little birdy recommended that I pick up some here, so I bought at open this morning at .02 and .023 and I'd say it worked out quite nicely. :)
I always set my Bid's too high. I just got some more at .67 I'm still kicking myself that I didn't have my sell in at a buck. Oh well, with a bid/ask range this high, once some of my money settles, I'll pick up some more.
yeah, thanks - thought so. I use QuoteStream and there is SEAB stuck at .0047 - it's an error obviously.
happy new year. :)
EOD L2 and T&S - Happy new year!!!

Action Toys Inc. Introduces New Logo
Action Toys Inc. Rebuilds Image With New Look and New Official Logo
ORLANDO, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 12/31/08 -- Action Products International, Inc. (NASDAQ: APII) has officially introduced Action Toys Inc. The new management team has redefined the core business segment of APII to create a separate entity under the name Action Toys Inc. The official introduction of Action Toys Inc. this week presents to the trade a new look and a new logo. Ken Ninomiya, VP of Sales and Marketing, commented that "Action Products has a long solid history of supplying high quality non-violent educational and craft toys. As we looked at the strength of the brands and the strong support of our core customer and consumer base we felt it was important to create an identity for the toy products that would be as strong as the brands itself. Action Toys Inc. will offer smart toys and great brands for years to come with a new look and redefined mission for 2009 and beyond."
Action Toys Inc. has already begun to promote the new look to the trade at a recent meeting with their sales representatives. The company has redefined their focus and created a new slogan "Smart Toys. Great Brands. New Look" which will be launched to the trade in the coming weeks.
This week's introduction of the new look, slogan and logo follows the recent launch of a new website www.ActionToysInc.com. While at www.ActionToysInc.com consumers can see online videos, learn more about every product, review the educational content and play value for every Action Toy while being able to locate a retailer within their home town or make a purchase on line. The second phase of www.ActionToysInc.com which is expected to be ready in early spring will include online interactive activities allowing children to enter the "Fun Zone" of the site that will have on-line games, free downloads, and additional value added on line content.
The Action management team has been successful in making the necessary changes within the organization to create a better experience for the consumer, their customers and shareholders. Plans for 2009 include a revitalized marketing strategy to strengthen consumer recognition on their legacy brands such as Curiosity Kits®, Space Voyagers®, Climb@tron(TM), I DIG®, Crazy For Cupcakes(TM), Play & Store(TM), and OLogy(TM) while offering a complete line of fun, safe, educational and craft non-violent toys to a number of key market channels.

Holy cow, a lot of volume here today. Who the heck is NITE sitting at the .042 picking up all these shares - wowwie.
Well, MY wife was addicted to learning express for a while and they sell most of their product there. I think I have one or two of their kits in my house somewhere.. lol
I freakin forgot to put in my sell at a buck! GRRRRRRRRR
Yeah, so one thing that Impresses me about the last 3 days of the year.
These really can't be considered "fluff" PR's, because they were informational in nature, having to do with the Shareholder meeting, additions to the Board, and then a recap-year. Sounds to me like good communication, not the type that's a "hey, let's come up with some weird news about some possible contract we might get in some imaginary oil field in some country that no one can validate so we can then dilute" news. It's real company information. No speculation, no guessing - just "here's what we did" news.
I'm holding a ton here, would add more today if I had some more money (but I might after I watch DWNFQ make me some cash today)..
At .0045 this is a steal. If what people are suggesting on the board comes true in a couple of weeks, this is a quick 4 bagger at least, and if the merger news is actually true, this is a 40 bagger maybe and a LONG term hold.
I agree with you Jim on that one. I picked up about a grand wirth at .0002 and did sell 1M yesterday at .0001 that I put in CIRT, but the rest are just going to sit here with a sell in GTC for when that time comes...
nope, last day of the year is fine.
well, they can't buy back in for 30 days now, so they'll miss the boat.
Hey, can you fix the iBox and put in dwnfq instead of that symbol for the char that's there. :)
In a sense, WalMart is just an import company too. Importing is all about the point of supply and demand, acquision and sales, exclusive agreements, etc....
If someone makes something cool in China, or italy for that matter, and I'm just an importer, but I sell 200,000 units at a $20 profit, that's not bad, is it... Too bad I'm "only" an importer because what's the value in that, eh?... sigh.
yeah, you've obviously seen the price go from 1.50 to .55 and now at .60 or whatever it is.
Yesterday, did you see the 40k @ market ??? went from .60 to 1.20 and back down. I think I'm going to put my sell in at a buck or maybe a little higher and then keep buying on the dips. I only have a few thousand shares here, but it's good for a few hundred bucks every couple of days it appears.
doing excellent here. I'm looking for APII to bounce back after today if you're watching.. EOY selling should be done and this should go back to a buck. Quick flip if you're in it for that. :)
full day trading on wednesday
I chalk up my constant involvement to the following:
(a) I'm excited
(b) I want other people to know I'm excited
(c) if people aren't excited, I try and enrich their lives with excitement so that they too become excited
(d) If other people don't understand what there is to be excited about, I thoroughly explain (again and again) what there is to be excited about, in a very excited manner.
(5) see a-d
did you talk to Ron Today?
I did some quick googling through trademarks and domestic and international patents and found most of them. I didn't find the ScaldSafe or the Nebulizer and I don't have any more time to spend on this. :)

I also live in Arizona and it doesn't appear that our local area Babies'R us stores carry the product yet.
