From toy meetups to fan conventions, the world of toy collecting and reselling is a treasure trove of fascinating stories and unique business insights. We're chatting with Michael and Jaden of Eject Toys, the dynamic duo who transformed their childhood passion into a thriving business. They're here to share their journey swapping, selling, and scoring incredible deals on everything, from vintage GI Joes to the latest and greatest Transformers.
This episode is not just about toys. It's about the psychology of retail, the impact of social media trends, and the rise of 3D printing technology. Hear how Michael and Jaden navigate the evolution of their industry, adapt their strategies in an internet-driven marketplace, and harness the power of hashtags to reach toy lovers worldwide. Plus, we'll get their take on how another wave of Transformers mania is shaping the current toy landscape.
Finally, we veer from the business side of things to discuss the sheer fun of it all - the comic-cons, the cosplay, the nostalgia-driven joy of unboxing a cherished childhood toy. It's a conversation that celebrates the importance of pursuing your passions, of turning what you love into what you do every day. Join us for an unforgettable trip down memory lane with Michael and Jaden, as they take us behind the scenes of Eject Toys, their nostalgic and exciting world of toy collecting and trading.
