[@darthsmoke76]

Common story I guess. My dad gave my toys to neighbor kids. I live back now where my parents lived and I recently found 1 Star Wars accessory in the yard. It's the prize of my collection cause it's literally all I have from my childhood

[@MonkeyboysToys]

My favourite toy channel now has a podcast?!! Sign me up! Totally stoked about this! Thanks for all the great content guys, I really enjoy learning about toys and seeing how you guys operate the business. You keep making it and we'll keep watching it! Thanks again! 👍🐵

[@OilersWorkshop]

You guys are filling enormous holes: the various types of collections content, a more authentic pawn stars style, garage sale and estate sale searching, deal making, nostalgia, realistic value propositions, its relaxing to watch and laid back so there is no anxiety involved, when you layer all those things it fills so many voids and holes for people and is also rewarding without any stress or anxiety to get the reward. You content checks a ton of boxes people gravitate towards.

[@lordsofkobol7385]

What you're appeal to me as a non toy collector is you guys make it intriguing and entertaining. Can't fake that.

[@ToyFederationPodcastchannel]

That's been our goal and the goal of our producer from the beginning. To make a show anyone can enjoy! Glad you're here!

[@KEEPINGitREAL213]

Your success comes from something that we've all seen on cable television. Kinda like pawn stars and other shows like that. But what makes you standout from the rest is.... You guys are not putting on a scripted show! You're genuine! You're us! We're you! We're collectors as one! No major television producer telling you what to say and what to do, where to stand. Your knowledge of toy history is real! You don't have to call on one of your "expert friends" I grew outta toys in 86/87. MTV, Hair Bands, BMX Freestyle, Swatch watches, and girls, became my new hobby. Huge fan of GI-Joe, Transformers, MASK, and Star Wars Thank you for keeping it real! Don't ever lose that. Sincerely.. A kid born in 74.

[@benjaminjhopkins95]

I'm 47, got back into Transformers a year ago. This channel is fascinating to me, nice one guys.

[@Talesfromtheshelf]

I’m born in 94, have never really been into some of the 80’s toys you guys primarily focus on. However, I am incredibly fascinated by all of it and have been watching you guys nonstop for about two days now. This is such a cool, niche corner of collecting that I’m so interested in. Keep doing what you guys do.

[@ioncewasmikey]

What do you collect?

[@James_Wade]

This podcast is a 100% banger! Great job guys! So glad to have been recruited into the toy federation!!!!!

[@dmc2008]

I'm obviously speaking for myself, but I didn't realize your channel was even new. It's so well-polished, I figured I had only just recently discovered it. I came over after watching Froggy Flips and other KZbinrs like him who are not only positive, interesting, and passionate, but authentic and genuine as well. You guys are just being yourselves on camera, and that's why it works. Don't ever make any adjustments based on what you think people want to see; do it for yourself and you're always going to succeed. Love everything you've been doing, keep it up!

[@ToyFederationPodcastchannel]

Have you not watched our main channel?

[@dmc2008]

@@ToyFederationPodcastchannel your main channel is the one I'm referring to. In this video you mention how you're only 6 months into the channel, and I'm really surprised. I figured that channel has been going for years, it's very well done 👍

[@christopherjohnson8743]

Awesome! When I come in, I always have questions, but I don't want to bother you too much. So, I pick and choose questions for you here and there when it's quiet in the store. This podcast is great because you're answering questions and what-ifs that I've had in mind for years. ☺ You mention sharing your knowledge with customers/collectors and that is important! Mainly because over time, my memories sometimes become blurred. I think that I know something, and then after speaking with one of you, I realize I had it wrong or misremembered. Cheers for that!

Im a 28 years old guy from Réunion Island (indian ocean next to Madagascar and Mauritius) i dont collect much toys except from the BTAS and TNBA, we dont have the same market with Toys here in Europe, and not much knoledge about Toys making in general. Its such a blast watchin you guys work, we can litteraly feel the love and passion all the team have. It warms my heart. Thanks a lot guys

[@Hellwood5]

Love the show. Wish we had a West Coast installment. The closest thing I can think of is Frank and Son's

[@bakeraus]

Brick and mortar stores are a must, it's like collecting vinyl. I would much prefer to be in store and hang out with the people who do it day in and day out.

Our family has really enjoyed your content over the last 6 months, and as one of the first few subscribers it is incredible to see the support you've received over that short of a time. Hopefully this podcast is a new regular show to see what you guys think about this stuff.

[@CIAALIEN1974]

I’m so glad we have a few of these stores here in Maryland. I help a friend open a place like this and can totally commensurate with what they’re saying. Buying collections are very tricky. My friend who owned a store used to always say, when buying collections and the price wasn’t what the seller wanted was it no personal! People can get really hurt when they think the value is less than what they thought. This show is great so glad I found it a few months ago!

[@MaximumCarter]

I was going to leave a comment about how I wish you guys had a dedicated podcast... And then I noticed this is a separate KZbin channel lol. This format is great... I could listen to you guys talk about toys, events, customers and the store for HOURS!

Man, listening to you guys talk about getting rid of your stuff- so relatable. The only comfort I take in my similar decisions is that I must have made the best decision with the information I had at the time. If I could go back in time, I’d kick myself in the shins though.

Gosh. So good. I mean, the content and production are excellent. This feels like "hanging out" with you guys, nerding out, and talking shop, which is so cool. Omg that bit at the end with you "dying" in the shop was awesome. You're all really funny. Can't wait for the second episode!

[@IRC_DUTCH]

Just stumbled across your podcast and subbed. In 1988 I lost my MOTU Buzz-Off on an overgrown patch by where my parents were putting up a green house. I was soooooo disappointed in myself. 25 years later I pulled down the green house always with the knowledge that I knew roughly where I lost buzz. With a few grown up ground clearance tools I set about the hunt for him,15 minutes later I found Buzz and is now part of my reacquiring collection and probably one of the very very rare original toys that I owned from new.

[@MikeRay1978]

Wow I didn’t realize it’s only been 6 months and only 50 K. You guys are going to be giant. I bet you end up over a million subs by this time next year. One or two videos that catch on and people will roll in. The format is great, the people are fantastic and EVERYONE has toys they cherish.

i don't really have a love for toys at all but i am a sucker for nostalgia. i have been binging your guys cannel because i really enjoy watching the inner workings of a small business that sells a cool niche genre of things

[@ToyFederationPodcastchannel]

We love hearing comments like this!

[@BlacksburgEV]

Guys, I don't even collect toys and never have. I've never watched videos of collectors etc. KZbin randomly recommended your first or second video and I'm hooked. Such a fun subculture and mote importantly, to me, you guys are genuinely good people. You are people doing what you love and are incredibly knowledgeable. I love when someone has a loose piece in a bag unrelated to what they have and you go in the back and are missing that one piece for something else lol. I love when the old rival shop owner comes in with stuff and has an item he won't sell lol. I love the videos of you guys going to cons and walking the floors, finding deals, heading to the parking lot to the "back room" deals not on the floor. I love watching you be fair in trades, breaking down exactly what everything is worth. I am getting a full glimpse into a subculture I didn't know existed. He'll, I love watching you guys fix the old toys, there's been a grw shots of putting a new O-ring on etc. I love watching the other toy youtubers come in and geek out. I love people bringing in their collections from friends and family. I have a strong feeling there are other folks like me who have never been exposed to this but love peeking in on this subculture. Finally, I'm originally from VA and live in Hawaii, I miss the south and love hearing all those accents. It's the weird things you miss after a decade. Oh, and the weird mcdonalds or one off toys, love seeing those too! In closing, every video you guys do are super fun to watch. I'm not sure how you break it down by views etc and what you THINK doesn't work, but I would hate to see any of those things cut from the videos. I'm sure I left something out but it's not intentionally. I'm trying to say, keep doing exactly what you do : ) We are all loving it, thanks guys! I forgot like someone else said, Ryan and all of you are made for TV. You guys are the wholesome Pawn Stars who AREN'T fucking people over and are completely upfront about everything, completely transparent and it's amazing to watch. We get the aspect of running the store on top of the toys which is fun!

[@WayneAnderson-waniacthemanic]

I can contest that the majority of kids these days spend more time on electronics than playing in there room or outside with their toys. The story building aspect is missing & I believe it’s due to the lack of content being created geared towards them. There’s a lack of consistency & pay walls behind accessing the content in its entirety; not like the 80’s. Great podcast & discussion. Looking forward to more content in this format & great cast!

It's great hearing you guys talk about toys and had the same experiences I did. The Matchbox Collection I gave away to a friend or the GI Joe collection I sold. Or the comic collection I gave up after getting married because we needed the money. It's nice to know I wasn't alone in those situation. But that you were able to make a great life out of it later.

This was back in the 90's - He said it's not the high-dollar items that pays the bills... it's this - - >> and he did a "Behold - the $3 dollar room": It was FULL of $3 dollar knick-knack salt-n-pepper-sized antique items. Hundreds and hundreds of them!

I got into Joe in 1982 and didn’t age out of them until 1990 when I was twelve. As I grew up I lost my MOTU, Gobots, Thundercats, and M.A.S.K. to garage sales, but thank God I boxed up my Joes and Transformers. When I got back into collecting in my 20’s, I had a large foundation to build on with all those Joes and G1 goodies tucked away.
