About Us

The NameNo, it does not refer to the Moody Blues, Jurassic Park or William Stout (although I like all three) or any other existing entity.

Lost World Productions first started in 1981, small and mostly sold arts & crafts items.  Since 1991 it has developed into a mother/son operation, official licensed in the State of California,  Marin County, & the City of Novato. (We were collecting, buying, selling, trading as a hobby but after a certain point the IRS decided we were beyond that. Not wanting to end up on the wrong side, we registered as a business in 1993 and pay taxes accordingly.) But we still like to collect, buy, sell and trade. Trading gets 2 or more people happy in one stroke so we will trade if people have something we need personally or could use for the business. We especially trade cards (since there's more of those little critters to complete a set than anything else).

Nancy, me, the owner, enjoys collecting a lot of different things (too many sometimes and some of it ends up out for sale or trade to allow me to get more stuff) from sci-fi to fantasy to Disney to nostalgia to the arts. I have a day job but am also an artist/designer (and a Gemini so beware). I finished writing a Star Wars story, with illustrations of course, (see www.echui.com) in mid-2001 and will be working on a Middle Earth story that has been running around in my head for over 20 years (and has gone through many incarnations therein - the latest incarnations inspired by Peter Jackson's masterpieces).   James, the assistant, is more into gaming, Magic, and the like (is also creative and may start writing also).

We operate from our apartment and also sell/trade at comic cons, sci-fi cons, mall shows, toy shows, etc so for you in the San Francisco Bay Area you can get to us in person at these events although the Internet is cutting into 'live' dollars so we are sadly doing fewer live events. We will be selling at the San Diego Comic-Con and Las Vegas Comic Con when possible (links will be on front page when appropriate) and possibly Wondercon again later on..
