Great episode! I see this as teaching episode for the collector community and future store owners. Thank you for sharing your insight at the end! Looking forward to visiting the store someday when passing through.
It’s all 100% real. I can attest to it. I came out of the blue. They did not know me. They welcomed me, the gave me an amazing offer on my trade. And I picked up a grail. And because I came on a non filming day, we talked toys a bit. They were kind and so were the other customers that were there. I 100% recommend. It’s like going to a con it’s a great vibe. I can’t wait to go back!
This RU-vid channel has so quickly become an instant favorite. I love the simplicity of this channel. Please never change ur formula. I just enjoy watching people talk about their passions n interests.
The guys in the McFarlane, NECA, and Marvel Legends subreddits would hate this show because they hate paying more than retail. Ever. They are a unique bunch of whiners.
My favorite thing to do while watching your episodes is play "eye spy" with background stuff. Like that Needle Nose at 3:45. Also, where can I buy a Toy Federation "Founder" shirt lol.
Toy Federation has bought the Toys R Us brand and opening Vintage shops all over the country! Happy for you guys! Appreciate the content and the community even if you never meet us. The nostalgia brings us together.
I promised myself one day not to go down the toy collecting rabbithole. I failed my promise but now I'm happier than ever (and a bit poorer). Anyways, thanks for all your videos @toyfederation !
22:00 thats so true!! ive spent so much on figures that werent in stores and all of a sudden they ended up in ollies or something for $3. or walmart gets a overshipment of it a year later just totally killing the value. or mattel remaking the same figure 3 times exactly the same but putting a alt sticker on it
@@MikeyBats i think a chase is more of a variant that is released at the same time. like for example the blue and red hogans that are out right now. mattel seems to be taking the exact same figure and a year later doing a entirely new run with it and slapping a different sticker or color in the corner as a new batch when there is already thousands out there. what makes it a bit different in he-man is right now there is tons of openers who see all 3 chases/variants as the same figure even though they are released years apart. so there is no value to them. its very odd with heman right now but any value it has for people like me who hunt down mint for a completionist collection they are just making me lose money left and right with these ideas. they put out bad distribuion, people scalp it and make tons of money, mattel sees scalpers making money off their bad distribution and then puts the same figure out again with a new sticker leaving everyone in a fury.
I am amazed your shop is able to exist, and i hope thrive. ive seen so many close. I hope to one day visit and purchase something. i love seeing your videos every week.
Very nice work with the podcast. I’m definitely going to be listening/watching. Also, I’m going to be making a day trip up from Atlanta to come by the store again and I’ll be bringing some plastic goodies. Question: did you guys get the piece of the Gcreation Shuraking combiner I sent you guys in the mail? It’s a small gold scale. I found it in the car after the wife and I got back from our trip to Asheville. I want to make sure you guys did get it.
"Enjoy it!" I love that mentality. I remember in the early 2000s my dad took me to a collectable/comic shop to buy a bunch of Star Trek toys from the 80s. I loved TNG growing up but being a kid in the late 90s missed almost all the cool toys.
Totally awesomeness of a video Brother's. Thanks for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😎👍♥️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️✨️✨️💯💯💯💯💯✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
Ryan really makes this show. What a charismatic smooth cat. The way he negotiated for that Capt. Spaulding: *Snaps fingers* "80! ...Even 20's. Boom! Got it. Got him. I was going to take 4. Kidding!" All of it while looking the guy in the eyes, with a couple smiles to his buddies. hahaha. A masterclass. Amazing. Keep on that stuff.
@@LUMBEEPHENOM2012 They want to sell one thing or one collection and be done, so the work involved in getting it properly listed is beyond what they are capable of/ willing to do. An Ebay account with no feedback is not a good way to sell, it requires that you built up a bit of a reputation to inspire confidence in your listings.. How would you not know that if you have sold on there before?
In a couple of years I bet my butt on it that Captain Spauldin will become a grail item in horror toy collecting. Its hard to find as is but give it a few years that toy going to be a gem.
Absolutely love this channel. Look forward to it every week. I could be wrong, but were you actually referring to the Shuttle Galileo from ToS? The Goddard is TNG.
I honestly don't mind if a carded figure has a price tag. I actually like it especially if it's a store like toys r us or kay-bee, Kmart any that don't exist anymore. I think it adds to the story of the figure
@Darthsmoker420, today after with you on that, when one of these channels is showing carded or boxed stuff (mainly from pics they dug up as these videos are generally, hey did you know this or other stuff like that about certain lines, I am always looking to see if there is a price tag on it. There is regional history of where that toy was possibly purchased from as well as the price. Lots of those mini fiefdoms existed back in the day before Walmart and target took em out. In the northeast we had Jamesway, Caldor, Ames, etc, besides JC Penny, Sears, and Montgomery Wards. Throw Zaire’s in there too. Up north I had never heard of a “Service Merchandise” store, but it was a common thing for people in the southeast from what I have learned over the years. So if I pick up a carded figure with an original price tag on it, I am all about it.
I do love the show and seeing things from the sellers perspective as well as the buyers perspective. I’m definitely gonna try to make the pilgrimage out to Toy Federation one day!
What’s entertaining about your channel is “wheeling and dealing”. The in store transactions and trades. I’m not too crazy about the talking and the table. Just my two cents. Anyone keep up the good work.
i was just talking to someone recently about having bookcovers in school. they would usually hand out some ugly book covers that we would flip inside out and draw and write our own stuff on it.
Looking for a Dick Tracy " The Blank" figure unpunched in the package mint. Could not get that figure as a kid in the US due to the Madonna reveal. I don't wanna spend 6 grand on the internet for one.
This ' after show' shop talk is interesting. U could stretch the video to include as much store video to include shop talk can't get enough of this show lately 😂❤
25 seconds in, and I am reminded of Napoleon Dynamite (Glamour shots by Deb). After I finisb watching this I am gonna go outside and see if I can throw a football over those blue ridge mtns.
