RecoverToy Website Changes

The RecoverToy Website and our store site are getting old, just like the operators!

We are not stopping anytime soon, but it is time for a change with the websites.

Our existing RecoverToy Store is operating until 30th April 2025 after which it will still be there for review but no new orders will be processed. Existing orders will be completed during May 2025.

Some changes are coming soon and from early next week, this information part of the site will be migrated to the new platform. In that site we will be able to provide more information about the toys that we all love to collect, repair and restore.

Updated: Closing from 30th April 2025: Our current shop site will remain active for some months to come and you will be able to continue ordering through that site with your existing accounts. No change there at the moment.

Our new RecoverToy Shop is ready to open for transactions and you can preview and use it now.

So what is different ?

The main difference is the technology and the goals of the change are numerous but the most apparent changes that impact you as customers are:

• Stock Control
• Better product presentation with images and product information
• Improved payment options

Key points:

Stock Control means that we have a centralised count of our stock, which we have not had in 25 years of trading.

Stock Control means that the new store will not accept orders for items that are not in stock. We will offer a ‘Wish List’ option see you can let us know what we need to get for you, without requiring a payment up front.

Of course, we are trying hard to be accurate with stock, but to give you an idea of the metrics, we list over 5,000 product lines. So far in our manual transition to the new store, we have manually entered 1,500 products, ensuring product details are accurate and photos. As a part of that we have counted over 25,000 individual items and we are only around 20% done. It is going to take us a while longer.

Will we get it 100% accurate? Probably not. The items are frequently too small and easily dropped then lost.

Please have a look at the new RecoverToy site and store. Feel free to send us some feedback via our contact form.

We are really looking forward to being able to manage our stock and your orders.

Thanks for your ongoing support in our 25th year.
