Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hey everyone, welcome to Collector Chatter.
In today's episode we got a lot of great stuff to cover.
We're going to go over some V Friends news, some Thrill Joy,
Rocky Moto, and a bunch of otherstuff.
Can't wait to chat. Collecting is the way.
Now let's chat. Hey everyone, welcome back to

(00:28):
Collector chatters episode 146. I am migs with Charlie as
always. After a little break we saw a.
Long break but we are back afterour our Disney vacations.
No back-to-back Disney vacations.
I know what didn't even know the.
Odds of that it was back. It was good.
It was good though, once it was good.

(00:50):
We both had great times, great weather, might say perfect
weather to go to Disney. Honestly best time I think to go
around this time. Yeah, great time.
We love Disney. Here we got an episode though,
yeah. Let's we got a lot to talk about
in the collecting world. We do have a lot.
We do have a lot. We didn't.
I mean it's been almost a month if you think about it, but we're

(01:11):
not gonna go, you know, back andtalk about stuff from 4 weeks
ago, 3 weeks ago or whatever. But there is a lot of stuff
that's very recent that still isin the news in the world of
collecting. It's all the big companies and
people that we like and we follow and there's a lot going
on, new products, new things. Obviously, you know, we've got
Thanksgiving coming up, Black Friday and all the holidays and

(01:32):
everything. So a lot of that stuff's going
to lead into a lot of collectible, you know, things
coming out and news and announcements and etcetera.
But yeah, like I said in the intro, we got some V friends
stuff we're going to talk about.They actually have a new product
technically, as you could say, with some new things in it,
which we will go over. Tops has a new set that came out
that we're going to go over. And then obviously the thrill

(01:53):
joys and the rocky models of theworld have news new lines coming
out, a new like pop up type thing going on with one of those
companies as well. So can't wait to talk about
that. Even maybe some card other card
news, you know that we'll talk about later as well.
But I think we want to probably kick it off the leave with feet
friends, right, because this wassomething that I know they

(02:15):
dropped like a pretty cool, likereal like trailer looking type
thing. And then then they showed
pictures. They told you to go to whatnot
to get all the alpha. Figure out all this new stuff.
It was so crazy. And then we had rips come out
and kind of like showcase what this was going to be.
An awesome video. Yeah, everything they've come

(02:36):
out with was like, great. And it's been a perfect way to
kind of like show this new, like, we'll talk about in a
second, but like this new type of way of chopping things.
And I remember seeing it and I was actually kind of surprised.
And the only reason why I knew you didn't because usually
you'll see something, you like it or whatever, and you hadn't
liked it. Obviously you were still away at
the time, but I was like, I don't know if you have seen

(02:57):
this. And I remember asking and you
were like, no. And I was like, oh, whoa, I
thought of you're breaking things before Charlie.
I weirdly like I was telling youthis off air but like when I was
I normally am still glued to my phone.
I tried to make a point not to this trip, and I did miss out on
some galactic stuff actually, but it is what it is.

(03:17):
Yeah, but I mean, either way, we're going to talk about it
here. And it is of course, what
they're calling a treasure chest.
So you can go through kind of essentially they broke it down
like you're, you're guaranteed at least one of these different
type of things. And obviously they all have
varieties and stuff, but you know, it's a big reference
thing. And then we'll get into the

(03:37):
price and kind of what we think about it, but you can go over
it. So you are going to get four of
the items in this chess. It's just depending on the
different rarities. As we all know, there's a
million different rarities when it comes to the Be Friends
world. But we're getting inside, which
is something new is a graded coin where there's a bunch of

(03:59):
different characters who are getting coins and they will be
graded in like a slab, which if you, if you collect coins, I
know me and Megs don't know. I don't think anything
announced, but no shocker to people who do or don't.
It looks like it's in a slab that a card would be in or a
comic like looks exactly the same.

(04:19):
They actually look super cool. Yeah, so and they're even going
to say rookie coins because, youknow, they're.
I think there are maybe some different coins that are out
there, but nothing crazy and some could be signed yada yada.
The next thing we're going to get there's two different pins.

(04:41):
So 1 is a gemstone pin, which these are insane because they
have authentic sapphires and 18 karat gold plated frame and
they're limited to 99 pieces or less.
So it's not your run-of-the-millaverage V friends pin or any pin

(05:01):
in general. I mean, it's kind of like a
piece of jewelry, I guess you could say.
And then we're going to just geta classic pin of pins that we,
you know, know, and love from the V fans world of some of, you
know, the OG characters. And then we're also going to get
a super sticker. So these are going to be new
super stickers that you can onlyget in here.

(05:22):
So it's not like it's being repeated.
I mean, V Friends doesn't do this, but like other companies,
it's essentially all new ones that we haven't gotten before.
They're in a new sapphire colorway and the first ever
super sticker debut for all the 21 feature characters.
So I mean, this set is it's really cool.

(05:47):
It's a big thing that they're doing.
It's not just like a random product that they kind of will
just drop. And I mean, I I want to hear
Migs take a little, but I know we'll get into the price point
at the end. But like this, a little tease,
like this is a major player, theFrench product, in my opinion.

(06:07):
Yeah. And then we'll get into that
more in a bit. Yeah.
So stay tuned. Yeah.
So yeah, the so the first thing like I know they were saying a
lot like how these are kind of the first time some of these
debut of some of these characters, I guess, and like
maybe some of the Super stickersand things like that.
Because you know, they like to do that where they'll like
release a batch of a certain amount of characters that they

(06:29):
happen to throw into like, you know, cards, whatever it may be.
And there's a, you know, a good handful of them in here.
So it's actually pretty cool. Like you were saying the the
classic pins, they've done thesein the past.
So it is nice to see these. Obviously there's variations of
the rainbows and the golds and just just your standard versions
and and a couple other ones mixed in there, which all have

(06:51):
like of 99, you know, 25 out of 10.
And then obviously the one O 1 is the rainbow.
So that's obviously going to be like a big chase of just a
regular classic pen. the Super stickers are sick.
That's obviously been the big thing.
We talked about it with their recent set that came out or
that's coming out that that's obviously like a big hype thing
that we both really like. Like I know we are fans of this

(07:13):
style of cards that they come out with the coins are the
interesting ones because that islike very new, like the first
time you're seeing this type of product from them where they're
going to show off these different ones and they're in
like different types of coins. So it was like literally a 1 +

(07:33):
5. I think pure gold, just wild,
like pin and it's like even signed at E Gary and like it's
like, jeez, that's like pretty intense.
So they're obviously really running into the overall
collector vibe of anything. You know, pins was a big deal
for a little while. Now they're like, hey, let's 2
coins, right? And then the gemstone ones are

(07:55):
actually really cool too, because like you said, like they
actually have like the differentsapphires in there.
The color on the back is like really awesome.
And of course it goes all the way down to one O 1 or you got
the of 99. Like their big thing is
obviously the whole rarity and like exclusivity of some of
these products. But one thing you didn't mention
is there's a chance in the Superstickers to actually get a one
of one like art print as well. He's a Kauffman sketch cards and

(08:19):
stuff like that. So like obviously he's sketched
out really cool versions of a bunch of the characters and
these because when you open the box, you're getting one super
sticker. So you're gonna it's sealed
pack, obviously, but when you open it up, it could be
literally one of the multiple variations of super stickers as
well, different numbered and different variations, even some

(08:41):
like insert style. And then you have that chance.
And then the hidden treasure section is where this is where
we can kind of tear towards whatwe're going to talk about price
and like how this is a high end thing because we know being in
this community, but like the intense ones in this community,
we know how hardcore they are. Like when it comes to cards and

(09:03):
things selling out, like the resale is wild because of how
exclusive and popular and like soft these things are, right?
And these hidden things are now you're getting like they're
pins, right? So these are like exclusive
pins. And they're, they're crazy, like
you said. Crazy one, obviously like a gem

(09:24):
eyed black cat, which obviously the black cat's a huge deal.
It's gold plated 18 carats like both.
They're going into like jewelry style like this is wild.
Yeah, a hen you got a oyster, you got the logo like V friends
and then you got like the panda.The pandas get gonna be 1 of the
big like a. Lot of these.
And it's that's insane. Like this stuff is just super,

(09:46):
super over the top on the sense of like, it's not just like a
regular collectible, right? But Charlie will get into this.
You could talk about the price point.
What? You think this drops on Black
Friday, right? That's right, yes, it starts the
24th I believe for like NFT. Correct.
I have holders, right and I can run through that so you.

(10:08):
Run through how kind of because obviously they do this a lot
worse. Like if you're an NFC holder,
you'll get it earlier and then the sticks.
So starting yesterday, you were able to get it to select
holders. You were able to get a case of
them for the price of $2000. And I saw on Twitter and people

(10:30):
were posted, got my cases. Cases.
Yeah, yeah. You had the opportunity to get.
Oh, no. So there was 10 boxes per sealed
case is what you got. And they were for V friends,
holders of series one, epic spectacular gift goat or access

(10:51):
tokens. So those are like high end odds
are if you have those you are going to buy, you probably don't
have a problem buying a case if you're heavy friends community.
So then wave 2 is series one holder sale.
And then you know, they said if inventory remains, I'm assuming

(11:11):
inventory is going to remain. But they're being very clear
that no one like I know sometimes with the comic books,
for example, since I have series2 NFT, I'm like guaranteed to
get them during that time if I want them.
We're like they're telling everyone no, no guarantee.
So they for series 1 holders are$200 per box.

(11:36):
Not terrible, but I guess for what you got and if you get some
like this is the gamblers collectors dream.
I mean you, there's a like makesus say 18 karat gold hit.
Like even though there's only, Imean there's 555 of those, but
still then on that, will you be able to get today?

(12:00):
Then on Wednesday, Series 2 and Iconic holders are able to get
one box for NFT held and they're$250.
So the price keeps creeping up, which they normally do do.
And I don't have a problem with that because Gary is
incentivizing people who have the NFTS, which is how Vfrint

(12:22):
started. Then for Wave 4, that's when
it's the Black Friday weekend live show breaks.
It's breaks only. So like, you're probably just
gonna have to buy spots. Who knows how much that's going
to be. I, it's I, I'll after I actually
get into my thoughts on this. And then the public sale via EQL

(12:47):
if inventory remains $350.00 perbox.
And now I'm also just seeing something I never saw before,
plus the 2.5% EQL fee, which I don't think they've ever done
that before. I'm a little surprised it's

(13:10):
being passed on to the customer.Yeah, I don't.
I mean, unless we do, I don't know if it's a flat fee, maybe
we think of it as tax or something, but I feel like
whenever we got in something I don't know if I remember it
being like. I got charged the fee like when
Nikki won the tops. But regardless, 300.

(13:30):
And I mean, if you're going to spend $350.00 on this box, I
don't think you care about the 2.5%.
But I mean, I'm going to kick itoff with this is probably going
to be one of the first differentproducts since I've been in the
community that I don't get. I think it's super cool.
It's nothing against the product, but it's just a little

(13:52):
too high end for me, especially for what you're getting Like
would it be amazing if I got an 18 karat gold, you know, black
cat pin yes, but like I would never buy that on its own.
So like I understand the value there and I'm also everyone in
who listens to this podcast knows like I'm not really the
gambler type, Like I don't get ahigh off of that.

(14:15):
So like it's just this isn't forme.
It's a little too high end and I'm a little surprise, which I
was kind of hinted at before, unless maybe they have more
surprises in store for us. But this is their Black Friday
like product. I, I'm just, in the past,
they've had Christmas product, they've had, they had the

(14:38):
ornaments and maybe more stuff is coming and they're just kind
of giving people the chance withthe breaks to get this, knowing
they're not going to buy it. I just think this product in my
opinion is really for the high end, be friends, collectors.
And if you're not one of those people, my personal opinion is I
don't really think you should begoing after it.

(14:59):
Yeah, no, I I agree. And I think I don't.
It's almost like we're already acouple days away.
So it's like, are they going to drop something else?
So it seems like this is what itis, but I would have agreed.
I would have been a little bit more excited, like, OK, this is
a high end thing. And then they still have these
smaller type of drop or something that comes out maybe

(15:20):
where it's like more available, you know, and accessible.
Their whole thing has always been kind of like, you know,
making it hard to get something exclusive rare, you know, build
up a type and then the resell iswild, right?
Cuz then that immediately what Istarted thinking is like, yeah,
one, I'm most likely not gettingthis like 1 because it's gonna

(15:41):
probably be just be so hard because these high end whales
are gonna be the ones going after it anyway.
So, you know, there's only, I believe what 5000 is it 5555?
Like how many they have, right? 5555 of them in total.
So that's not like a ton. So clearly like these high end
people are going to be able to get them and then the next wave
gets them and then the next one.Then when they go on these

(16:02):
breaks, people go nuts for stuff, especially when it's
brand new or it's something nutshot and like hard to get.
So that's going to sell through whatever.
And then you have like, OK, if there happened to be something
for general public, it's probably just going to sell out
quick. But what I started thinking is
like the craziness that like thereal big, obviously it's Series

(16:24):
1 and NFTS and all that were huge.
And then obviously when the TCG came out, it was huge.
But like I kind of jumped into it a little bit after that.
So what I saw as being like a wild flip was Chrome, right?
Like Chrome came out box of 100 bucks, now it's like 750 bucks a
box that was like $20 is now like $150.00.

(16:46):
So like and that's just standard.
That's what they're selling it for.
That's what people are buying itfor.
It's staying. At it's insane.
So with that being said, when you got a product that generally
MSRP, even for the people that are getting a little bit
discounted is like double that. Are these things going to go for
like AG? Like is this like $1000 easy for

(17:08):
like one of these? Because like you said, people
are able to get a a case which has 10 and we all know who those
people are that are either just like super hype.
OK, I got this. But a lot of them are those
people that we're going to see, oh, hey, we got to be friends
boxes and they put them up for all these auctions and they put
them off for these breaks. Yeah, you know, the prices that

(17:28):
those start going at, it's just it's going to be wild to see
like where these go when it comes to that.
But I love it. Like it is an awesome cool idea.
It's it's different super sick on what they're actually like.
You know, it's only four things.It's kind of the stink, but at
least each thing is like high end, like it's worth it in that

(17:52):
point. But it's only and, and Gary will
say this, it's only worth it if you really have that funds to
actually give up and just actually buy, not like you had
to like scrape through to try toget a buy.
Like no, you shouldn't be doing that at that point.
That's just not smart. And I think me and you are kind
of in the both tests. Like, you know what, you know,

(18:13):
also we have families and kids Christmas from the corner.
Like there's a lot of other stuff We're going to be spending
money. On exactly.
To make it be like. I don't know if this is
something we need to get. That's actually what you just
said was like perfect, because it's exactly what I'm thinking.
Like I do think it's a little tone deaf on V friends to have
this product come out right now in my opinion.

(18:34):
But like you said, regardless, it's really cool.
It's an awesome product, but I weird to say, I think it's the
first time since you've been into V friends since I've been
to V friends. We're kind of like, yeah, we're
we're probably passing, but it'snothing the.
Product is cool, definitely. Definitely cool.
The presentation's amazing. They never skimp on that.

(18:54):
The box is. I mean, the box alone do.
People are going to be buying the box, FDI, eBay.
Like it's just of course and there are there are serial
numbered like they're numbered box of whatever.
So you're getting us. This may be the most high end
physical collectible that deferences made in my opinion.

(19:15):
Yeah, yeah. And like, not even like, just
like what it resold as, like this is just what they're giving
you. The quality.
I mean, 18 karat gold stuff, these sapphire things, all these
different, you know, all that alone, like the quality and the
high endness of that. Yeah, sure.
Which is wild. But so.

(19:37):
This is going to be, it's going to be interesting to see kind of
what happens and where this goesand if you were able to get one.
I know we do have listeners and followers that are in the V
friends world. And if you're one of those lucky
ones, hopefully you get something sick and hopefully we
get to see a lot of video or something.
But yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna be a while.

(19:59):
Definitely cool to see and excited to see what what ends up
happening. But I I love what they did.
I love the presentation that they did like that little Rio
with the pirate ship, like it was all done really well.
So they're clearly really getting into.
And it's funny because now that I see this, I remember, I don't
know if you were on that live atthe time.

(20:20):
I feel like you may not have been because I think it was when
you were away. And that's when I ended up
getting. Because I ended up getting Gary
B. Yeah, I was, yeah.
I don't think you were on that one.
But while they were talking, they were like hinting towards
things and, and like, and, and then Rips was saying and doing
shit that Gary was getting pissed about.
It was getting super funny. But there was one point in time

(20:42):
where he grabs to the back of something and kind of lifts it,
but puts it back down and like, oh, it was definitely one of
these boxes, now that I think about it, because they were
saying like something to come, something to whatever, but no
one really knew what it was. It was and it was.
It was definitely this box. It is funny though, I am looking
on that Twitter right now to seeif anyone had is talking about

(21:05):
and it's funny like V friends today.
I mean they are once again they are self aware though of their
community and what this product is like.
They had the an image of the flex and fox, which is like a
perfect character showing opening the box like so they
they I mean, maybe maybe it makes me feel like there is
going to be something else that's coming around that they

(21:27):
just haven't announced yet for which I actually feel like there
has to be some new products before the end of the year for
the masses, because this would be a weird way to end the year,
especially in the Holotime, no. Yeah, Yeah.
I would think even if it's not like quote, UN quote Black
Friday, I would think there's something holiday based like to
be coming out. Yeah, 100% agree.
But I will say, I mean at least knowing a few friends for the

(21:49):
little time that I have and really getting into it, they do
a great job of having the small $10 ish item all the way up to
these high end things like they do.
Have 100. Percent and things so they do a
really good job at least giving you something different that's

(22:10):
on a different price point, a different medium type of thing
like whether it's their NFTS to a plush to a comic to these pins
like things like that like there's such a variety and that
makes them like really that's honestly the big reason why I'm
a big fan and I know I'm sure it's also you but.
Agreed 100%. All right, so enough of that

(22:34):
high end stuff, huh? Too much.
Let's get now into some more other things that maybe we can
we can afford to get into, but we'll switch gears.
Let's go into what do you wanna talk about next?
Let's see. Should we go into throw joy I.

(22:55):
Was actually gonna say that, yeah, let's go, let's go.
Throw Joy. We had a couple things on throw
joy front that we wanna talk about. 1 is some drops, some
stuff. Before you get into that, for
our listeners, I don't think we've talked about this.
Gary Vee actually met someone asked him on a stream a few
weeks ago. Yeah, you.
You ever heard of Thrill Drill Collectible?

(23:17):
We got a clap coming. He he flat out said it.
Yeah, like he said, they've beentalking.
About. That'll be interesting.
Which which obviously we know kind of what they've already
done with the Funko and that that world so.
That was just a good Safeway cuzI'm pumping, yeah.
So look out for that. But a lot of stuff was
announced, some stuff coming out, some new art, the clowns

(23:39):
out there, some new jokers, Chucky, like they have a bunch
of random things that were announced.
But obviously the holidays was kind of really the big thing and
like they did for blue. Well, for the one year birthday,
which is fun, like Blue's birthday or whatever, they did
come out with the red tux and blue like birthday style, which

(24:00):
we talked about and we went overthey did that again, but
Christmas. So they went the Christmas route
with the three of them again. Tux red and blue as well in like
Christmas ish type color. Blue was a blue metallic.

(24:21):
Blue Metallic, yeah, which had an ultra rare chase.
They all had kind of like that ultra rare chase and he came out
with, and I don't know, were youa fan of them or like what do
you think? I didn't like the Blue 1 was
pretty cool. I like the blue red.
OK. I didn't like the tux too much.
I don't really like the color that they chose of it, but I
mean, it looks kind of like an ornament.

(24:42):
I was going to say. Yeah, I mean I didn't.
It's funny. I like the blue 1 the best.
I actually got the blue 1 and I so I like blue the best out of
any of the mascots. I actually don't have any tux
are red haven't been able to getany.
I passed on the birthday one smaller pixels.
Yeah, I sorry, I do have those. I completely forgot I would

(25:06):
have, if I'm being completely honest, I forgot I didn't even
know these were dropping. It was when I was in Disney and
then I found out, you know, there was a split second when I
was like bummed about it. Then I'm like, I've moved on and
I'm like, don't really care because I just love Christmas
stuff. When it comes to collectibles.
Butcherite, these were kind of just like a weird paint, like a

(25:28):
weird paint job, but maybe they were supposed to look like an
ornament. Like you said.
I didn't like love them. I liked the idea of that, if
that makes sense. So.
Yeah, yeah, I agree. I mean, of those, like, I get
it, It was fine. I didn't like love it.
But then they came out with another blue.
This one was a little bit more like, OK, this is pretty
awesome. Bad ass.

(25:49):
Yeah. And it is when Blue is in
another outfit type of thing. And it's for a movie, obviously.
So it's National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, which is a
fantastic movie you're seeing, especially during holidays with
my favorites. And we got Blue looking like
Clark Griswold, especially with the little reindeer glass like

(26:13):
mug that he has. And there is a chase version.
It's not the not the best chase.He's just got actually the
regular blue with the mouth open.
I like better than than chase where his mouth is kind of just
smirking. But what do you think of this?
Because this was definitely up the Christmas like alley or like

(26:33):
collectibles and was a little bit more exciting for me.
This is 11 out of Ted. I love this.
I think it's one of the best pieces they've made.
I think it's super cool we're getting a blue that you.
I think I'm pretty sure this is the first blue picks that you've
been able to just buy that wasn't given out at the

(26:54):
boardwalk bash. That is not a megapix of him
like having his head on on IP. OK yeah.
And it's just funny because thisone works so well because it
obviously is from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

(27:16):
And if you don't need, like if you know the movie, you'd know
this immediately. But someone who doesn't, this is
still just cool. It just looks like a blue is.
Yeah, and his Christmas. Yeah.
I will. I absolutely love this.
I'm going to try to get this, but I do agree with you.
It's funny. It seems like the chase versions
of blue are always with him withthat smirk.
I think the tongue out is betterit, but you know, they're still

(27:41):
have their their crew trying buying a million pieces, trying
to get that ultra chase, even though the hero is better.
Yeah, just because yeah, it's it's, it's a rare one.
It's whatever it is. But this is a situation where
like we're both in the boat. It's like we get one, It's going
to end up being a cool one regardless.
And it's one that we probably realistically may like more.
Totally fine. If happens to be a chase, even

(28:02):
cooler. All right, it's alter chase, so
it's rare. That would be pretty awesome.
But I agree, this is awesome. It's coming out tomorrow, so
Wednesday the 26th, 8:00 AM. So just make sure you guys are
paying attention if you want to get this one.
It probably will separate it. I don't know if there's a
anywhere that shows the amount. I haven't looked on the website

(28:23):
like to look at the box. I think it's Oh, no, you know, I
want. To say the high 2. 100 but I
could be. Right.
OK. OK.
So if it is or something like that beyond it, because it may
be a lot of their stuff, their products have been selling
pretty quick, very quickly. I know some of them have been
shared with Hot Topic. So usually when that happens,

(28:43):
like the site might sell faster because obviously they have to
bring product to these stores aswell.
But when it's like exclusively, sorry, exclusively through the
site, usually it's a little bit easier to grab them.
But depending on what this number is going to be, you know
definitely. It's 1500.
It's 1500. So that's a that's a good, good
number, but not super hot. Like it's something you're going

(29:05):
to have to make sure that if youwant it, you probably want to
make sure you grab it. Yeah, I mean.
That's what the the other ones were as well.
The other. This will sell out in a few
minutes. In a few minutes, yeah.
They sell that. Like, so if you, this comes out
on Wednesday at 11:00 AM EasternTime, right?

(29:26):
Yeah. If you don't get, I just know
from experience for these ones, like the ones that are, they're
mascots. If you don't go on immediately
when the drops, you'll probably get it if you go on it.
But if you're a few minutes late, it's gonna be gone.
Yeah, it might already be behindthe line.
Especially because I don't know.Let us know in the comments or

(29:46):
maybe makes you know. I don't know if they have
limits. And like we said, they're a fan
base. They're hardcore.
People are pretty hardcore. They.
Do but I don't know the amount I.
See some people who are like getting them in the mail and
they're like, oh, we got 20 and I'm just like, Oh my God.
OK, So in like when it's 1500, when people like that are buying
that amount, it's going faster. It just goes fast.

(30:11):
Yeah, doesn't always mean the hype is actually there, but it's
there for. Their community people are
excited. Yeah.
I will say last thing before we move on to the next thing is
this is something that I don't know what the turn around time
is on this, but I would hope that like you would get it
before Christmas like that kind of would like really, I mean

(30:34):
it's about a month. So it's like who are these like
made? Are they going to ship out quick
or not? But it would be a cool thing to
have on Christmas as well. Like me and you are both like, I
feel like a lot of collectors dothis, but I know we both are,
well, we're like we're we're we like displaying holiday type

(30:54):
collectibles during the holidays, for instance.
Like I have a little thing in the back.
It's hard to see but I have someBuddy of the Elf NFT pops.
Yes. Like you and the Grail and all
that that I like, you know, we put up because it's like
Christmas. So this would be like a great
one. Like I would love to put this up
but. I would hope, hopefully I'm I'm
happy you brought that up because I thought I'd easily be

(31:14):
able to display my Funko Christmas NFTS from last
Christmas but no, they still haven't even chipped.
Now I'm talking about the, the, the elf thing that I got like,
you know, years ago. But yeah.
But it's funny, I still I I still don't have my birthday
blue, so huh. But see, that's why I brought it
up because it's like, are these like being made or is it like

(31:38):
ready to go? Although I have seen people with
this in hand, they were at. They were at that.
Party so it's like, yeah, some people had them and they were
given now a couple of the influencers were able to kind of
unbox them so hopefully they go out quick.
But yeah, that that is a really cool looking blue for sure.

(31:58):
But we'll transition over to something else about, you know,
Throw Joy. And I brought up the Hot Topic.
So this also has to do with that.
But the latest like thing that Throw Joy is doing now, they
like to call it a first thrill joy experience.
And it is a partnership that they have with Hot Topic, which,

(32:20):
you know, we've already been seeing them in Hot Topics.
They are in some box watches which obviously the same parent
company, but this specifically is like a really nice display
table setup. Some of their clothing is being
shown, the pixels, a bunch of pic stuff like nice backdrop,

(32:41):
big pictures and stuff. So it's like you're walking it
almost, I don't want to say it, but it's almost like when you
walk into Funko Hollywood and there's like a specific display
of something and you go to another room, there's another
thing. It's very similar to that, but
in a hot topic, of course. And it's the first one was in
the Glendale Galleria big store.So obviously like more like a
flagship type of thing for them.But they did hint to like other

(33:05):
ones coming. So I'm sure big cities, big
areas across the country, hopefully they do something over
here in our area, maybe AmericanDream, because it's right by me
and that's a big hot topic. This little SAP is pretty cool.
It's a it's a great way to get people that are in there like
kind of because sometimes they were hidden on like a small
little shelf in the back and stuff.

(33:25):
So this like really shows them out and it is showing you like
they have a big partnership withHot Topic that this is happening
and Hot Topic is like really pushing them out to have such a
big display and like quote UN quote experience.
But what are your thoughts? I think it's super cool.
I think it looks really nice from what we've seen.
I definitely do think, yeah, there needs to be more.

(33:46):
They need to branch out kind of like you said, hopefully in
other major cities, not just in their backyard.
And I know, like, Brian has saidthis multiple times, like he
always like mentions our partners at Hot Topic.
Like that's clear. Like you said, their biggest
partner. It would be cool to see them in
other spots, though. Like the one thing that comes to

(34:08):
mind for me is when FAO shorts came back in the city in their
store in 30 Rock, basically thatentire store is built on many
sections of product. And like, I look at this, I'm
like, that would like kill it there.
I think it would bring it to like a whole new level.

(34:31):
Tourists find this product. I mean, I feel like there's
still people going to that storewho find out what a Funko Pop is
for the first time. It's just, I get why it's in Hot
Topic, but it's still just like going Hot Topic is now just
more, it looks cooler. But I, I think it's, I, I think
it's more of a revolutionary type of idea of where the retail

(34:54):
space is going. And I really, I do like it.
And we've always given them credit where credit's due.
They are always trying to innovate and like think outside
the box to differentiate themselves because when you like
for people haven't seen this video go check it out like throw
joy shared it on their Instagram.
I mean, you're going to walk into the hot topic if like your

(35:16):
store ends up getting this and you're gonna think it's a throw
joy store. Like that's how like prevalent.
It is a little section. Yeah, it's it's super.
It's like nice, the signage, everything is like great.
And I love that they have like all their products out there.
They have the old school pixels,panoramic ones there.
They have some there. They have some of the clothing,
like I was saying, jersey pixels.
So it's like the displays of each one, like separately

(35:40):
depending on what it's for, likereally cool.
So yeah, this is definitely something that I will agree is
exciting. And hopefully we do see it in
other areas like, you know, hopefully by us for sure.
We want someone actually in the commented specifically that they
also think it should be at the American Dream in Jersey.

(36:00):
I love that idea too. Like, honestly, they have their
own yeah, like experience. Like, I mean, I know that costs
money, but it's like it's I it'sjust like if this was in a
meniso, for example, or like AI mean obviously would never be in
Pop Mart. It's like you're going for that

(36:20):
experience like a thrill joint store stand alone store, even if
there's just like one in like the American Dream mall or like
the Grove in California. Yeah, that kind.
Of flagship thing that. It would be super cool.
But yeah, so that's that's some good stuff that thrill Joy's
doing for sure. Are you going to try to get that
blue? Are you going to go for it?
The Griswolds, that one. Yeah.

(36:42):
Yeah, Yeah, I actually do reallylike that one.
I didn't. I unfortunately didn't get to.
I do agree I liked the metallic one of all the other three.
But at that time, I don't know what happened and it just didn't
and it or actually did end up going to check.
I didn't realize it was going tosell in like minutes.
That's what it was. And I remember telling you like.
You remember I was like. He's gone so now IA little bit

(37:05):
more prepared. I understand, I understand it
now like gotta get in there get in there which is on there it's
wow. So yeah, we'll see.
But it is something I for sure will try to grab.
But all right, let's move. On to also one real quick thing
I want to give a shout out to. We talk about him on the

(37:25):
podcast, my cousin Anthony, because he pulled a 96 piece.
Yeah, Scott Pilgrim. Which that's his of all ones
that's. His grail, which that is his
grail, so it. Never seen it.
People out there listening who are thrilled drug collectors, We
know one has been pulled. So I just I wanted to say that

(37:47):
cuz it's super. Cool.
Yeah. Yeah.
Happens. Yeah.
It was just funny that he got that one of all I know.
Perfect. Dude he sent me a text and was
like losing his mind. Even though it's a box error, it
says Scott Pilgrim instead of the character's name.
Really. Yeah.
That's that's more rare than there you go.
Yeah. Oh, wow.

(38:08):
All right, so let's go into Rocky Moto.
So we'll talk about some Rocky Moto stuff because they
obviously well have been really out there.
Of course D Con was recently, you know, designer con in Vegas,
which was their the last time wereally seen them do something
big because obviously they didn't come to New York Comic
Con. Even that New York like signing

(38:29):
thing at FL Schwartz kind of fell through.
So now this was like their big event that they were going to be
at. They had their booths, they had
their setup, everything. We wish they had a New York
Comic Con right now, but they did have it there.
They had a couple of exclusives,the the designer con like mascot
guy. They had a Frankenstein
character that they made as well.

(38:50):
And then of course they unveiledtheir Godzilla stuff.
So there's a couple new waves that are like kind of now coming
soon. We're starting to see the
different variations you can get.
But one of them of course was the Godzilla 1, which we did
see. We saw that was going to be
coming out soon. They kind of started having them
there and now I've actually beenseeing a couple people even in
our area, they have been poppingup at stores.

(39:13):
So they've been able to kind of pop into a store.
They're actually in box lunch and or box lunch even.
Yeah, I was gonna say I know they were outside of just what
they're normally at and they're seeing the Godzilla ones, which,
you know, Rocky Mono did send you one over.
So you luckily were able to kindof take a look at 1:00.
But we both agree that set was awesome.
Like, you know, just to see it like the different types that

(39:36):
you're getting is like really sick.
But we have two sets that we kind of hinted towards.
We saw that potentially they would be coming out.
Then we saw pictures of them announcing that there was gonna
be some type of collab, but we didn't see what they were gonna
look like. And they are the Mon Chichi,
which I think that's how you sayit, hopefully, and the Sesame

(39:59):
Street 1. So we'll go into the the Mon
Chichi one first because I know we're a little bit more excited
for the Sesame Street one. But this of course, is, I
believe it's like a show or cartoon in somewhere in Asia.
And they're like little monkeys.Yeah, and I don't know, they all
just kind of hang out and play around each other, but there's

(40:21):
like different versions of them.We know nothing about this.
So I don't want to, you know, butcher any of this stuff about
it. But had a few different versions
of them. Looks like there's maybe like a
male character, female, two of them are in like cat suits.
And then we have some some more rare like surprise versions of
them. But yeah, I'm sure you're kind
of on the same boat. Just it's cool to have something

(40:42):
like this, just nothing that. We they look cool.
I know we were. I was telling you before we
started. I've noticed that this is kind
of make is having a moment in America.
It also seems like you know thischaracters like the Labooboo
before Labooboo and it seems like they I have randomly seen
them in a few stores. I saw them in Urban Outfitters.

(41:05):
They're like they have the key chains, they have the stuff and
it is, like you said, it's from Japan.
It's perfect for Rockymoto. They may have got this license
at a perfect time. It could be by by design or
coincidence. But yeah, like I said, I don't
know much about it personally, but I like them.

(41:29):
I've been collecting the Rockymoto's like differently
than I would Funko Pops, for example.
Like if this was a Funko Pop, I would never buy it.
Even if this is a throw joy picks, I would never buy it.
I'll get one of these. Like they're always fun.
We always say they're a great price point and like more and
more people are getting into these.
We've had some some of our listeners message us.

(41:51):
We got into Rocky Moto because of you guys, which to hear that
is so awesome. I heard their presence at Decon
was amazing and like it had a much better vibe there that like
that was more like their people and give a shout out to Rocky
Moto. Not I I don't like to, you know,
put the competition, but they now have more followers on

(42:12):
Instagram than throw joy and throw joy is or something a lot
before that. So they're.
Blowing up. I was going to say these pics
like these different posts, likewe talk about this with Funko
all the time like they're getting like lot lots of likes
like this. Even this one was getting a lot
of likes. So it's obviously a lot of fans
out there that exactly do enjoy this.
We joke about this all the time,but like we've said, their
social media kicks ass and it's showing that it does.

(42:37):
It's and it's helping the brand.Yeah, and they got.
Some new team members recently that kind of been jumping on and
it's just super expanding and they're, yeah, they're all doing
a really good job. Like it's, it's all getting
being done really well. And it's not like too much like
they're doing it kind of at a good base.
The right amount. And yeah, we're getting great
products and everything like that.

(42:57):
But yeah, the next set I know issomething that we both are like
clamoring over trying to get. It's something of this.
I know my daughter will want these.
I know your kids will probably want these.
And it is of course Sesame Street, which when this was kind
of like announced and hinted towards, we both were kind of
like, whoa, like that sick. That's awesome.

(43:18):
I remember, I think they showed off like a cup, but it doesn't
look like the actual real cup, right?
Cuz wasn't it a cup with like elbow or something?
Somebody on it? I don't know if we they ever
actually this looks different. Even the figures look different
a little bit. Yeah, cuz I remember us seeing
it and being like, OK, is it, isit that character and he's going

(43:39):
to be you're going to get him like we didn't know there's
going to be multiple characters.We didn't know, but now we like
it. This also shows us that when
it's an IP type drop, it's goingto be multiple character options
that you can pull out of 1 cup. Like we kind of talk about that
is the way thing going on. Yeah.
So unless it's like their original character, which is

(44:01):
like the one and then you can get a surprise.
Like all of these are quote UN quote surprises because they're
all sitting down eating noodles.But the variety is pretty big
because you're going from, you know, some of the top
characters, obviously you're getting a Cookie Monster and
Elmo. Those are one in four.
So those are most likely the most popular and makes sense

(44:23):
that would be the most polled, right Of those you got to count
in Big Bird, however, at one of six, which is nice, a little bit
more rare. Then you got Bert and Ernie both
being at one of 12, which is butI feel like you gotta get both
of them right at some point. But then I like this.
I don't know if you read this. So it's like the count is a
super surprise. I don't know exactly what that

(44:44):
means, color, or what It was oneof 48 and the Cookie Monster is
a super duper. Surprise.
Yeah, 196 so funny, cool little plan was there that they're
doing with this, but makes you think like maybe they're a
different color, maybe they're translucent, like what are they?
But usually when they're translucent, it'll say like when

(45:06):
the Godzilla's like translucent shade surprise or whatever.
So gotta be interesting to see what these are.
And they're one of 96 that's, that's very rare, 148 as well.
But yeah. What's your thoughts on these?
Because I, I love these. I'm I want to see where they're
going to be at hopefully in store soon because these I will.
Grab These are incredible. I want them all and it's funny,

(45:31):
I actually while you were just, you know, giving your take, I
did look. So I remember I made a reel
about it when the concept art leaked.
It does say comps are only and you're right.
It was completely different. It just had Ernie on a cop.
Ernie on Yeah. And like, it's funny because
these now look like, I don't want to say more official, but

(45:52):
like that concept art made it look like it could have been
fake where these like look like these are Sesame Street
products. And but the other one was Leo
dressed up as Cookie Monster, which I do hope we still get
those. Honestly, I wish that was the
Cookie Monster super duper surprise.

(46:15):
But maybe we're just going to get those at another time or
they ended up not going through with them.
Maybe it wasn't allowed. It could still be them, could be
them sitting down, it could be you can't tell that their face
is in the middle like that. These are just so vibrant.
The color. I love the count.
Wow. I love all of them.
They just look super cool. And I just that meaning ramen.

(46:39):
Like I know it's not for everyone.
I just think it. These are so cute and hilarious.
Yeah. Yeah, no, but, and it's cool,
like, cuz, like we're fans of it.
Obviously. We grew up on, you know, Sesame
Street like a while back, but it's still around.
Our kids still are fans of it. So like, it can hit all ages.
And like you said, yeah, they'resuper cute.
They're very bright, very vibrant, very Sesame Street,

(47:02):
honestly. But R is for Rokimoto too.
Yes, I was going to say, and they're playing it so well, like
the way it says that and even the cup out has all of them with
ABC's on it, like just bravo. Great job Rokimoto.
This is another. Thing, too, which is crazy, is
like Sesame Street's obviously always been a staple for

(47:23):
children's television, but at. Some of you may not know this,
but it's now on Netflix. I not to say Sesame Street get
any bigger, but I also feel likeSesame Street has been forgotten
in the world of YouTube and other streaming services.
I think that it's now on Netflix.
It's going to have like a resurgence and just like the

(47:47):
Monchichis, this is a per, like this is perfect timing for these
to come out too. Yeah, I mean, I think I agree.
I think Sesame, she kind of wentaway a little bit in the bigger
digital world where like the Netflix is of the world and
YouTube and so and like, yeah, you can probably see some of
these things, but a lot of thesekids, unless their parents

(48:08):
weren't showing them, they weren't really getting exposed
to it as much, right? Yeah, There was some toys you
can get little figures and toys and stuff like that.
And they would kind of know whatthey were.
But you know, Sesame Place stillexists.
That's still a place that you can go to.
And I don't know if you noticed American Dream has a little
Sesame Street kind of like experiencing there.
So like, yeah, it's still, they're still out there.

(48:29):
So pumping. So this is definitely.
It being an easy way to get to hell.
I think heard it because some parents, yeah, whether some
people don't have it or like, I'll be honest, I didn't want my
kids watching that on their iPadand then, you know, God willing,
they got out of. Their.
Account on time exactly. So yeah, it's more of the

(48:49):
stories. These are awesome.
And I think these are going to be, and these are going to bring
Rookie Moto to the next level. Yeah, which is good.
What's going on with them? But that was an awesome drop for
the sure for them. So hopefully you're able to get
these. This still says coming soon.
So I don't know if they really have like a date yet.
I think it's just something that's still in the work.

(49:11):
So hopefully it's very soon because.
Today you are now able. It's the first time you're going
to be able to buy Rokimoto product on their actual website.
You're going to be, you can get the Snoopy cups of fun and their
word on the street is there's some leftover Rocky Chan's from

(49:31):
Designer Con. So if you're looking to get that
stuff, I know there's been some criticism, like I don't have any
minisos by me. You know, you can't, you can't
get a lot of the stuff from Entertainment Earth.
You know, I don't love Entertainment Earth.
I'm being honest with you. So now hopefully Rokimoto is
building up where you can just go to their website, which is

(49:53):
another. Thing which is big, yeah.
Huge. Definitely want that.
But yeah, good luck to anyone ifyou try to grab some of those.
If you do, let us know what you guys pull and if you've been
getting the Godzilla's as well, save post some cool stuff
because we actually have a fan listener showed us that they got
some pretty badass. And they got one of.

(50:13):
Those transducer 96 ones which they exist and they're out
there. So someone did pull 1, so shout
out to you props. All right, so we'll get into a
little bit of card news. We got a couple different card
makers companies. 1 is going to be tops, the big boy.

(50:34):
Of course, tops keeps dropping more and more goddamn stuff
every time. It's insane.
There's a new and the way tops does it is so wild.
Like there's no like hype behindit and like just drops it coming
out in a month. Like dude, it's like tomorrow
this job and you're like, I hateit actually, you know, like this
is a sick ass job. What do you mean tomorrow?
So you know, sometimes you gottaget your funds right for for

(50:56):
tops. Not the easiest thing to just
crap. So tops did their marble tops
Chrome, which is sick to every tops Chrome.
That said that they do is just it's just getting better and
better. We're getting a Marvel Studios
1, which obviously has a lot of like the movies and the movie
characters, the actors, which isgreat because you get a lot of

(51:16):
their autographs, which that's like a cool thing.
You get an autograph of obviously a big name actor and
then as a character and stuff like it's always like really
cool. It's a different type of like
excitement to like an athlete. That's it, right?
So yeah, so we're getting those.The set looks awesome.
We had the hobby box, which was EQL.
So you had enter in and the hobby box thing was like 25250

(51:42):
or you can get a full case for like 2500 or whatever it.
Was this was for 8 packs? Eight, yeah, in the in the in
the hobby box or they have the obviously more valued blaster
style boxes, which those are clearly a little bit more
accessible. You could just buy them.
You don't have to wait for EQL and nothing like that.

(52:02):
But this seems like all the other sets they've come out with
have been sick already, like in the marble and all the other top
scrum stuff. But it's just another one that
is pretty sweet. I know you grabbed a couple of
the blaster boxes. I didn't get any.
I don't know if they're still available.
I'm assuming the the the value slash blaster box will probably
still be available for a little bit.

(52:22):
So I'll take a look. I don't know.
It is something I would like to get the hobbies what I would
love to have gotten, but the price was a little too tough to
just like really drop for that, especially like I said, when we
found out like yesterday that itwas oh, it's gonna be coming
out. I agree like I.
What do you think? I mean, I think these are sick.
Like I said, I got some of the blasters, but yeah, like the

(52:43):
price point for me is just a little too high for.
It's hard to justify getting 8 packs for $250.
That's before tax and shipping. Well, shipping is free at that
price point, but they're super sick.
I have some of the tops Chrome Marvel that came out this year
that was just like the comic style.

(53:04):
Those were really hard to get. I got like 2 blasts of those and
that was it. It.
It's just funny. I feel like those are more
popular than like I was surprised normally when tops
drops and stuff, they sell up pretty quickly.
And I do think the marvel the blaster stayed up for a little
bit, which makes me feel like you'll probably be able to get
them at like target, Amazon and Walmart.

(53:26):
I just wanted to get a few because they look incredible.
I mean, it's I think I'm pretty sure it's spanning from, you
know, very beginning of the MCU up to current, including all TV
shows animation. Like they like you.
I mean, you took the words rightout of I can't really add much

(53:47):
more. Like tops just kills it,
especially with this Disney license.
I have Star Wars, Disney Chrome and now Marvel Chrome.
Like they all just look super cool.
It makes you like I know we've talked about this in the past,
like we in the very beginning were in Lord Khanna.
I, you know, makes completely got out of Lucana.
I stopped collecting Lucana, butnow I've got into it a little

(54:09):
bit more, but it's really more through my son like he'll get
like he loves collecting cards with me, but like can't ever
find Pokémon. Lucana is very easily
accessible, but like the way that the tops Chrome card just
look with the Disney characters and I know it's completely
different than Lord Comma and you know, it's that supposed to
be a trading guard game, but most people don't actually play

(54:32):
the game, if I'm being honest. I mean, it has its core group
just like Pokémon does too, but most people, especially in our
world, are just collecting. They just look so cool and the
Marvel Studios is no different. You would think putting just a
person on a piece of cardboard would would it look as cool?
As it does, but whole especiallywith the Chrome, they do a

(54:54):
really good job of the differentcolors and the different type of
parallels and waves and like foils and stuff like that.
And it's just like it always just makes the cart pop more and
yeah, the color on it looks great, but like getting these
certain autos and then they always do have like sick
inserts. Like I know this one has like

(55:14):
marvel gods and there's like a Thor and it's like a die cut and
there's like refractors obviously numbered and stuff
like that. So yeah, I always just jumped on
the website just to take a look real quick.
But the blaster boxes are actually sold out.
So they are really all sold out in there.
So yeah, so it's clearly it definitely has some hype and you
know, there's there's some pretty bad ass cards in here.

(55:36):
So this will definitely be a pretty sick set to see and we'll
see what you pull out of it. But yeah.
It's weird. How's that?
Still on top of the game, man. Good old Pedro Pascal is the
freaking cover the box. Cover so random it's a big deal,
I guess for them to, you know, so.
Yeah. But in other card news, so this

(55:59):
is something a little bit more that you kind of know more about
than I do, but you can kind of go into it.
But it is like a Magic cards. I know we have a couple sets and
things that are showing their way onto to the streets now.
So yeah, we can talk about that.So as we said, ever since
Cynthia left, Magic the Gathering has been thriving.

(56:20):
We kind of the the set that thatwith IP that really brought it
to a new level was Final Fantasy.
That was then followed by Marveland now this one it's got mad
height is Avatar the last airbender.
Just like those other sets you have the you have the option to

(56:42):
buy the collector boosters, which are an insane amount of
money. It's like $400.00 for a box of
like the amount of cards that we're talking about getting in
the tops Chrome hobby boxes. Then there's the play boosters,
which it's more all about the hits, like you can still get
those hits in the play boosters.You're just more guaranteed to

(57:03):
get them in the collectors, but the product just keeps getting
bigger and bigger. I mean, there's there, you know,
pre made commander decks. And once again, I don't play
magic. I actually never I collect.
I tried to collect magic for very small time I youth when I
went to summer camp because somepeople were would like play it
at like lunch or whatever I thatgame is.

(57:27):
It's I'm sure I can learn it now, but I really was not in the
mindset to learn it as a youngling.
But I've gotten into some of theIP ones, like I got some of the
marvel ones. I wanted the Final Fantasy ones,
and then at that point I was just like, I don't need them.
And then I kind of regret it because they like became so hot.

(57:47):
And then once again, the Avatar ones, the arches look super
cool. They clearly made a license.
They have a big license with Paramount because I know there
were SpongeBob ones for the secret layer, which are more of
the preorder limited ones. But then the next set we're
getting is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which that seems to
have a lot of hype around it. That was a new year.

(58:09):
Comic Con Magic is killing it right now.
Like, don't sleep on it. If you're into these IPS, the
cards look super cool. They're, you know, reasonably
priced if you want to buy any ofthe other cards besides the
collector boosters. And there's value in them for
people who are value collectors.I mean, some of these cards that
you could RIP are, you know, going for hundreds and hundreds

(58:31):
of dollars. Like I said, I know you're not
really into this, but like they they.
Look super cool. So did they have a Marvel set or
was that the spider Man 1? So because I know there's a
Spider man. It started.
The first one was just Spider Man, OK, with more coming.
But there were some other like there are like the Infinity

(58:55):
stones are in the Spider Man 1, for example, which was like a
hard card to get. But yeah.
So it was mostly, when I do say Marvel, I'm talking about Spider
Man, But OK, when they first came out with the Secret Lair
versions of it, there were othercharacters and they have teased
like, I don't know if they've said how long the partnership
is, but we're going to get more and more Marvel, I'm assuming.

(59:19):
I don't know, it's funny. It's I think Spider Man just
their biggest character. That's why they started off that
way. I personally wouldn't have done
that, but maybe it just was their way of being able to make
more money and make more sets. Yeah, so and on that topic, so
the there's like a web slingers kit, which is obviously like
this big box and it's coming up at Costco.

(59:40):
So Costco's starting to get these like if you want to kind
of get, you know, a quick set, like it's a seems like it's a
big box similar to like when thePokémon ones that they were
doing. Comes with it, they're coming
out with deck boost, some play boosters, and then yeah, Costco
always does this. A promo that you can only get a
set at Costco. Which is cool, yeah.

(01:00:01):
So that that's popping up over there.
So that's actually like, if you want to just kind of get
introduced to this and start offlike Charlie was saying, it's
not something that's really my cup of tea necessarily, but it's
still obviously popular and it'sout there.
But this whole like them going into these other IPS and not
just being strictly the magic that we don't grow up with is

(01:00:25):
smart in my opinion is pretty sweet.
Agree, I feel like the explosion, weirdly enough the
explosion of Pokémon and the scarcity of it has allowed
something like magic to explode more into the masses because
less of the Pokémon. Getting Pokémon cards is still
so hard I haven't noticed like so.
Many different kinds. And so many, but even like dude,

(01:00:48):
so many retail stores are now like gate, like they're putting
it behind a pay wall. Like you can't even enter the
queue if you don't have Walmart Plus.
Like, I mean, genius on Walmart,but it's just the fact that it's
still insane. It's just crazy.
And then it's funny. I joke about it on here because

(01:01:10):
my son like loves Pokémon. Don't I actually get him the
packs, the collector being just like, Oh my God, he shouldn't
really be like he's just going to destroy these cars and
people's a good car. Like like I'm back of a Dick.
And he's just like exactly like he's definitely done that
before. And I'm just like it just I kind

(01:01:30):
of wish Pokémon with this is I'mgoing off on a tangent real
quick, but like I I wish they made kind of what magic does is
smart. And that's why I'm going to
bring this out. It's like they've the even
though it's all get gets hyped when it comes out.
The play boosters are easier to get than the collector boosters,
and they're also way cheaper. I almost feel like Pokémon

(01:01:53):
should start doing that because they probably make more money.
Maybe you would still have the problem where it's impossible to
get but like it would maybe allow some product to be around
for children like I can't. Imagine being a.
Kid and not being able to get Pokémon cards.
Yeah, well, it's so funny that you said so.
This is like perfect transition.This is why I work well
together, because I was going totalk about something that's

(01:02:16):
going to transition perfectly from this.
And you probably know what I'm going to talk about once I say
it, but the that's like the McDonald's.
Yeah. When they had the McDonald's set
and it was more like, you know, there were just like a it was
only a couple, a handful, whatever, 10 or 12, whatever
many cards it was and they're not really worth much.
Like it was cools fun, but it was still something that you can

(01:02:38):
get your kids to get in like andit would be OK if they got in,
they broke it. Whatever you get another one,
you know, whatever it was. But yeah, it is interesting
thing, but I wanted, it's funny you said that because I wanted
to transition to this. Did you see the Disneyland?
I did 70th anniversary, yes. So I definitely think we should

(01:02:59):
bring that up. So there's yeah, there's 7070
different characters that you can get to go along with.
Obviously the 70th year is Disneyland and it's all
different Disney, Disney Pixar mix of of characters and it's
easy. Even like live action animated

(01:03:19):
like it's everything. It's everything pretty much hits
up almost every potential movie they have.
I think someone was complaining that there's no Wall-e or Mr.
Toad, but there's pretty much. There should be a Mr. Toad, but.
Yeah, so this looks pretty cool.And they're like tiny little
like figurines are on like a platform, it says like
Disneyland 70 on and on the bottom you got they're very like

(01:03:44):
cartoony like you're. Getting the Disney 100 ones when
they had that, I feel like they're the same.
Yeah, yeah. Because I was going to say I
remember this happening already.Kind of.
Yeah. And they were.
But the actual figures don't look the same though, no?
Because I can't. I'm pretty sure they're the
exactly the same. Actually, I'm.

(01:04:05):
Trying to remember which ones. They're new molds.
That's what I mean, like molds, sorry, like they're new.
They're new molds, but it's likethey were like what they.
Are on a little platform, yeah, that part, yeah, OK.
And like the design of the figures the same like the way
they look. Yeah, like the cartooniness of
like, Yeah, like, they're like the like little kid versions.
Almost. It's almost as if McDonald's had

(01:04:26):
their own They like you. You know what a Funko Pop's
gonna look like? This is what these dizzy
characters. This is what a McDonald's figure
it is. Yeah, but now we're getting 70.
I remember there was a lot. I thought there was 100.
Was it 100? Or Disney 100?
Yeah. Wow, I mean, it would make
sense. Somebody here.
I just don't remember that menu.McDonald.

(01:04:47):
I remember it being a lot and itwas like near impossible.
And I remember, dude. They were impossible to get.
We finally found something like I'd go and like, well, we think
it was just. Dumb, but it was just like,
we're never going to get them all.
No, I also just hate when you goto marriage like oh Yep we know
the ones we have today and theseare the ones you're getting.
It's not even random. Yeah, that's always been a

(01:05:09):
McDonald's thing. I mean, I worked there in high
school, like back in the day. It was always a thing, too.
Was like this week we only got this.
And then when the toy, but the toy, not the toy, but like the
line of the toy that they're gonna have or whatever.
It's not out long enough. The fact that if they're gonna
do that, it's not gonna be out for 70 weeks or like.

(01:05:31):
No, you're right. So then it comes to it's like,
well, different regions have different ones.
And so it's like this is something that you definitely
should, this should be where everyone's going crazy to try to
get these cuz you're not gonna probably get all 70.
But yeah, it just, it's a littleplastic toys.
But I didn't want to break it upbecause no, they're a cool
acting thing. Still Disney.
We love Disney and it's. A cool thing.

(01:05:52):
It's definitely something I'm sure my daughter sees she's
gonna want to get. So now I'm gonna have to be.
And it's actually December 2nd is what it sounds.
So maybe it's like for the wholemonth of December.
Maybe that'll be a little bit more doable, I guess.
But I agree, should just be randomized.
I don't think they do that. No, they don't.
Because they'll have. One set and then if they get a
new box maybe it has another settype of thing, but I'm.

(01:06:13):
Trying to see if I can find the Disney 100 and how many there
were. Yeah, I I don't even know if she
still has those. She did get a bunch, I remember
that now, and they were pretty. Small.
They were small and like, I mean.
Because these look like we went decent size.
Like like weirdly enough, my kids don't even really like
McDonald's, but we went to get them for these but I I think

(01:06:35):
they broke them. We had to throw them out like
they're. Yeah, I can't remember.
Yeah, probably cheap. Yeah, my daughter's kind of in
the same boat. She's she doesn't eat burgers at
all. She's a strictly a chicken
nugget person and doesn't like McDonald's chicken Nuggets.
At all. She only needs Wendy's or Burger
King. So like generally we don't
usually go because of that, but when there's this type of thing

(01:06:59):
was like a certain toy she kind of has.
I mean like I won't lie, even last time and I was like Pokémon
one, like on my lunch break I just went and got a half a meal
for myself since I said something.
So yes, but nonetheless they're cool and I will be interested to
see. I don't know if they've said
this, but I do remember when theDisney 100 ones came out.

(01:07:19):
You got two in a box per Happy Meal.
OK. OK.
Yeah. So maybe you get more it's, it's
so crazy. We're going to keep talking
about this, but someone, I'm looking at the comments, someone
said. I turned the ones I got last
year, which was obviously the ones we're talking about, into
ornaments. Interesting.
Kind of cool. And so it came out so nice.

(01:07:41):
Took forever to get the whole collection.
Oh it's definitely worth. It my God.
Shout out to lounge fly and chill on Instagram.
My God. That's insane.
Yeah, someone said most of the characters are repeats from the
Disney 100 set in 10/23. There you go.

(01:08:02):
I mean, they're gonna do this many characters.
Obviously it's gonna be repeats.Yeah, you gotta have the core
ones, but there are some that are missing.
People are kind of upset that there's some that are missing.
No Jasmine looking at it. It's not necessarily they they
they at least look different. It's not the same toy.
Like there's I know there was a Goofy, but the Goofy in this one
is actually wearing his outfit that he's wearing in Disneyland

(01:08:24):
for the 7th anniversary. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like it's stuff like that, but the Star Wars ones are in ships.
Like it's all that same look. Yeah, like the.
But they're. Yeah, like why they do that?
Like they have the stormtrooper head on the ship like so.
Dumb. I'm wondering.
It has to be that way. Just like need to be bobblehead

(01:08:46):
Star Wars row I. It's insane.
But they're cool. Yeah, I mean, I'll, I'll
definitely. I'll try to grab some, grab
some, yeah, make some videos. I'm trimming Mickey D's.
Yeah, they're cool. December 2nd, so be on the
lookout for that guys, but all right, that's going to do it.
