Action Toy Organization of Michigan!
A.T.O.M. Charter
Action Toys Organization of Michigan is a toy collecting group founded in July of 1996 by collectors, for collectors. The group works together to get toys for each other at cost, or through trades. The group is strictly against scalping of any kind (see below for scalping definition). We do not promote hoarding or the buying of entire cases of toys. We look to help other collectors, parents and children in their quest to find the newest toys at retail cost, and to thwart the attempts of scalpers to charge over cost for these same items. We deseminate the knowledge we have about the scarcity, availability and desirability of toys to keep our members and the public in general aware and less likely to be taken advantage of by the unscruplous. Monthly meetings are held to share information and fun, and an e-mail list server is used to keep all members constantly updated on shipments, wants and haves, and any other important toy news.
