We Turned Our Basement into a Warehouse…Want to See?

I started my toy store in March of 2021. It has become bigger than I ever imagined and I have now turned my entire 600-square-foot basement into a warehouse. Take a look!

I noticed the ultimates Macho man wasn’t there so I’m assuming it’s sold out. Are there plans to get more anytime soon? Just asking, thanks

[@ludwigvanbubthoven5692]

Any chance you'll be getting that MAFEX brown suit Wolverine?

[@wolfofthepride]

Seriously, y'all, Big and Mrs. Nerdy really do have the best customer service! I mean, for the price you're paying, you've got an excellent team packing and shipping, and they're available pretty much 24 hours a day! They have literally ever figure you want, and they have preorders up the same day Hasbro puts theirs out! Like, really, there's no reason not to go with Nerdzoic.

[@Nerdzoic]

Thank you Cory. Anna is the pro at packing and shipping. I am hands off in that dept. We appreciate your support!

[@dougmayse452]

Really love seeing this. Thats a true love of toys and a passion to grow the community. Ive had a brick and mortar and have done conventions for 20+ years, Big Nerdy inspired me today.

[@Nerdzoic]

Thanks Doug, that means a LOT!

[@edmontonstormtrooper2493]

Dude, I hope you make a fortune! I just placed an order and I will check in with your store before my next round of purchases! I envy your courage to take a shot at the toy business! It's a dream of mine! Shout out to Mrs Nerdy, as well!

[@DWboy14]

Hope you go international some day, I'd love to support the store!

[@hsoj32]

Awesome! I just put in my first order last week with you guys for some Mythic Legions, happy to see you doing so well.

[@Nerdzoic]

Thank you so much!

[@justintorres502]

It must be super fun just to get to walk down there and LOOK at all those toys every day. Even if they're not yours, just being surrounded by them lol. What a dream. Good job man ✊🏽

[@i_like_anim]

I saw your video on why to buy from you and you are the best seller ever

[@Nerdzoic]

Thanks so much. We really strive to provide the best service possible especially for a small business like us. Please, spread the word. :)

[@greatcronholio360]

As a Transformers collector, I get many of my main line figures from the retailers. If I can't find them in the wild, I go through BBTS or Hasbro Pulse. For 3rd party figures I use Show Z. I would buy through your store but your not as fast on your pre orders. You don't even have a listing for the upcoming Legacy line. Plus I can pre order for free.

[@Oyoboii]

this was a treat! thank you for showing!!

[@SpiderFansArt2006]

I'd take a modular ironman

[@Nerdzoic]

Thank you. And that is really interesting! I had been avoiding them as I felt it was the opposite.

[@RidleyCinema]

I preordered black series omega from your website, it said expected shipping would be Jan 2023, I hope dont have to wait that long, it seems some parts of the world are already getting that wave but since I have a pre order through nerdzoic and I wanna help out the mom and pop stores that my pre order wont be to grueling of a process to get in stock and ship.

[@Nerdzoic]

Thanks for ordering with us. I placed orders for that item last Summer, but because we aren’t Target and Walmart ordering super large quantities we’re filled after them. Be patient my friend. We’ll ship them out as soon as we receive them. We appreciate your support through your order.

[@darthclueless9372]

Is there a way to add a figure shield to a preorder?

[@Nerdzoic]

Yes! Just place an order and shoot us an email!

[@justintrevilla]

After watching this video, I’m definitely gonna check you guys out!

You selling anything on Mercari? I would buy some of your old collection! I’m going to have to buy some Transformers from you after seeing this 😂

Not Mercari at the moment. Yeah check out the site-maybe you'll stumble on something...

Lmao after watching the video, is there any reason the eternals wave is in the almost gone category...🤣 sure it is!! But honestly I need to keep your site in mind for soo many figures!! Props on what you do!👍

Lovely basement! I'll take a Sandman retro fig please lol. I thought more people would be into the vintage star wars stuff. I'm not a fan of the 3.75 inch stuff anyway, no matter what property.

Do you do shipping to nz yet Big N

[@Nerdzoic]

Not at the moment. Hopefully, in the future. Thanks for watching the video and asking.

[@drthmoosedm1017]

@Nerdzoic you keep em comeing I keep on watching 👀

[@miragexl007]

Ah, Transformers kind of stink nowadays. The studio series is kind of cool. The old school stuff. But even that, Transformers have been getting old... Ever since the masterpieces. That's what I'm thinking. That used to be my big thing

Gotta say I've been very, very satisfied with all the purchases I've made from Big Nerdy. Communication, and shipping is tops!

[@yashdeepbali80]

IMPORTANT - and sorry for being a party sponge... i know many people (toy collectors) who develop a breathing problem after stacking cartons in their house. Please be careful (also when do you start shipping to India)

The problem is that you are selling kingdom...not a popular series..studio series transformers

[@anthonywheeler1941]

Funko pops sell as I collect them and other things lol but if u want to sell them and sell out of them u need to carry either Wwe and anime funkos and everybody only seems to care about them being comic con edition or exclusives and chase pops or glow in the dark pops.

Thanks Travis! Anna packs them super securely and personally inspects and tags them minty fresh or near mint.

[@ettorealunni7638]

Hi there Big Nerdy! I’m a huge fan of your channel who would love to order a few black series from your website; however, you don’t ship internationally, and I live in Italy. Is there anything you can do? Anyways, keep up with the amazing content!

[@Nerdzoic]

Hi Ettore Alunni-Thank you for commenting and watching my videos. Unfortunately, at the moment I'm not selling overseas. I hope that changes in the future, but right now the shipping costs are so expensive sometimes just as much or more as the figures themselves. Keep an eye on the website for when we would start shipping internationally.

[@i_like_anim]

I'm gonna shop there when I get paid

[@Nerdzoic]

Thank you!

[@ernanuribe8109]

Cool! Can’t wait to recieve my first shipment from you. Hobgoblin and Sandman!

[@Nerdzoic]

We can't wait to ship it to you Ernan!

[@OrionConkin]

Bro awesome setup, I recommend if you want to move WWE figures get the current guys, in my knowledge they sell better

[@Nerdzoic]

Interesting, I always thought it would be the other way around. Thanks!

[@acidunicorn1225]

New to channel I'm assuming your stateside? Will def be stopping by the shop.

[@Nerdzoic]

Welcome to the channel. Thanks for checking it out. Yes, I’m in Pa.

[@Edsomthing]

You guys should really get the new the Batman multiverse figures those would probably sell really good

[@Nerdzoic]

We have them up for pre-order. 😉

[@accidentalmadness1708]

6:50 probably because you don’t talk about dc multiverse as much as marvel legends.

[@Nerdzoic]

This is true, I might have to do more DC :)

[@chrisoney14]

Screw HR?!? As an HR professional I can tell you that….we get that a lot 😅

Lol, sorry man.

Wish I can go there someday

[@lawrencewhitfield8129]

Now you can worry about shelf warmers in your very own establishment. Good stuff

[@Nerdzoic]

lol yes indeed, not the fun part

[@chuckdawg1999]

The problem with Transformer collectors is that we're usually spread across two ends of the spectrum. One side is the group that either wants the figures for retail or will wait for a sale, the other side, which is where I am usually, wants the figures before anyone else for one reason or another.

[@ciscodeer9094]

Thanks for answering all my questions big nerdy

[@Nerdzoic]

Happy to answer them.

[@jwelch013]

If the store is in the basement what happened to your collection?

[@Nerdzoic]

I still have 3/4 of my collection on display, but we might be needing more space as the store grows.

[@obi-onekenerdi]

I’ve heard about this store for a little while now, but I didn’t believe it until I literally just ordered the retro Scarlet Witch while watching this video. It was so quick and painless I couldn’t believe it. She’s out of stock on HasbroPulse, and she’s like $36 on Amazon. Seriously guys if you’re a Hasbro or NECA collector please do yourself a favor and order from these guys.

[@Nerdzoic]

We greatly appreciate you ordering with us. I tried to make the website as user friendly as possible, so that's a big compliment-thank you. Sometimes we've gotten some figures way before anyone else, so ya never know. Keep checking back.

[@obi-onekenerdi]

@@Nerdzoic You are most welcome! I meant every word.

[@chuckdawg1999]

By the way, A-DIDDLY-MEN about the Retro Fantastic Four figures. The cards are way, WAY too big and are hard to store. I don't even remember Dr. Doom's card being that big.

[@jonhahn6557]

It's a lot of work just to make a couple dollars off a figure.

[@Nerdzoic]

Yes it sure it. Its all about volume.

[@D21BeastReviews]

Way to get it, Nerdzoic Family! Very impressive.

[@Nerdzoic]

Thank you Rob!

[@efsilva86]

Very cool how does it work if you never sell eternals? You have to eat the cost?

[@Nerdzoic]

Thanks for watching. Yes, I have to cut it as a loss. I even bought them way before they were ever seen in the big box stores, BUT being a small company and not ordering as much as Walmart or Target I was one of the lower orders to fill. It’s okay. Part of the risk of running something like this.

[@gambit_toys6554]

I noticed the same trends with what sells and doesn't from my own experience. Thank you for your valuable insight.

[@quietkaoscorp]

Would you want to open a store over your home? I'm still battling that myself and think you can make good money from home...but do feel like a store front environment is needed as well for expansion and just locals shopping as well as it's hard for everyone to just come to your home no privacy

[@slymm76]

But what about your overhead and profit margin,

[@slymm76]

I asked in all seriousness! Is it profitable for you at this?

[@Nerdzoic]

I'm saving that for another video haha. but since few will see this ill tell ya. Overhead is relatively small, few hundred dollars a month. The margins stink on some stuff, amazing on others and allows for a good mix. Working out of the basement I can hit about 18% EBITDA. As overhead grows, its going to be harder but doable. But if you calculate the $ per hour put in, well then yeah no, its not good lol
