Our biggest local con starts today, Fan Expo Denver. Over the past 10+ years, it has become a juggernaut. Some highlights this year, for me at least, include a pretty comprehensive Scream and Goonies reunion, most of the cast of The Boys, all the Hobbits, and a huge amount of voice actors, including Michael Bell, […] The post Open Your Toys Cast – Episode 340: Let Con Season, Begin… ap...

I’ve really come to love eBay, even more than I did when all I mostly did was buy stuff. It’s so transactional. Here’s my price, pay it or move on. I do entertain offers, especially for multiple purchases. However, most of the time, I just tell people to kick rocks until I lower the price.

I completely Star Warsed myself out yesterday. If you’re in the group or follow me, you probably got a lot of spam about what I was watching all day. However, as I write this, I’m watching the third Family Guy Star Wars special, It’s a Trap. Why? I have mild OCD and must finish a […] The post Open Your Toys Cast – Episode 338: Happy Revenge of the 5th… appeared first on Ope...

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks at Slick McFavorite Toys. I sold at my favorite toy show this weekend. As always, I had a great time. Got to see guys I’ve seen, bought from, and sold to for almost 20 years. I had great neighbors this year. He and his wife were amazing to […] The post Open Your Toys Cast – Episode 337: The End of an Era… appeared first on Open Your Toys .

We got a crazy late start on this show. This was due to a small spill of vodka on the corner of my laptop, no big deal. I’ve had spills before. Did all the right stuff, shut down, tent to drain, wait at least 24 hours. Powered up the next day, huge display issue, freak […] The post Open Your Toys Cast – Episode 336: Slick McSpiller… appeared first on Open Your Toys .

It’s been a long week. I’ve been going through a ton of boxes. About to list ~160 new items. I’ll catch you next time.

It’s that time of year again. While we’re not back to the golden age of New York Toy Fair, this year’s was pretty impressive. The big two represented relatively well, even if the four greatest franchises ranged from amazing to mediocre. As always, the Others had some great reveals. I gotta say, as I finally […] The post Open Your Toys Cast – Episode 334: Toy Fair 2026… appe...

It’s been a crazy weekend, and I’ve got an “NBA All-Star” game to watch, so no long post today. Stay tuned for Toy Fair talk next Sunday.

If you haven’t noticed yet, I get pretty “dedicated” to things. I think that’s evident in doing this show for almost 18 years now. The show’s tagline even begins with dedicated. Most people would call it obsessive. However, I’ve never really appreciated the negative connotation of that word. This week, I spent, I don’t even […] The post Open Your Toys Cast – Episode 332: Dedication… appeared...

How are your resolutions going? For me? See the title of this post. Making progress in some regards, but stuck in ruts with others. I think that’s why I don’t necessarily make “resolutions”. I know what I need to fix in my life, and I try to make changes with the new year. I’ve stopped […] The post Open Your Toys Cast – Episode 331: So, So… appeared first on Ope...

While writing a long introspective post about the new year would be par the course on most sites, blogs, what have you, I tend do that all year.

Whenever I watch movies that spiral out from just one moment in time, it always makes me think about how quickly life can change. Just like that, all the comfort in your routines you have built up over the years can disappear. Unfortunately, it seems like it rarely ever happens in a positive sense. It’s […] The post Open Your Toys Cast – Episode 329: In a Blink of an Eye… appeared first on O...

I know, it’s too early to be getting the episode out. Do you know what that means? I’m procrastinating. I have a bunch of stuff in regard to selling/work I should be doing, but I don’t wanna. So instead of just sitting here not doing anything, I did that yesterday, I’m doing everything else I […] The post Open Your Toys Cast – Episode 328: Too Early… appeared first on...

It seems every time I try to do a post lately, I’m running into technical difficulties. This one doesn’t affect the show or post too much. However, it has been two and a half hours for something that usually takes about an hour and a half and I’m not even close to being done yet.

It’s crazy out there right now. After the amazing Target Days sale on toys, now Ross Con has kicked into high gear. NYCC and Walmart Collector Con just dropped. People are finding amazing things out there left and right. We’ve been saying this for quite a while, but there’s too much stuff coming out.

I finally got through all the stuff in my garage to sell. I should be really excited, but unfortunately, it was actually anxiety-inducing. For the first time, I got a full understanding of the extent of my collection. In two words? It’s ridiculous. I still have a shed to go through, which I hope will […] The post Open Your Toys Cast – Episode 324: Too Much Stuff… appeared first on Open...

It seems that most things in life, including life itself, are cyclical. At almost 50 years old, I’ve been fortunate enough to witness some of the longer cycles, such as politics, finance, and fashion. You would think shorter cycles would be easier to recognize. However, even some of those have taken the wisdom of many […] The post Open Your Toys Cast – Episode 323: The Ebb and Flow… appeared...

While we don’t meet in a cave or have expectations of legacy to uphold, the struggle is real. We have bills to pay, people we love, and something that unifies us. That thing can be exhilarating, discouraging, and even debilitating at times. What great hobby doesn’t have at least some of these attributes?

Not a lot of time for reminiscing, especially considering it’s a holiday weekend. Just want to remind everyone to do what they love, whatever that might be.

After our Great American Road Trip, it is now time to kick it into high gear. Not only do I have the expense of the trip, but I also have two birthdays, back-to-school expenses, and now some much-needed dental work.

I’m not talking for work or even pleasure. What do you do when you don’t want to do something? You know, how do you procrastinate? I’ve talked about what I do ad nauseam. I do it primarily because I procrastinate a lot. Things get done, life moves on. I’m just curious if this is normal?
