- 2 Guys Talkin' Toys - Episode 024 - Robots
Who doesn’t love robots? From the time we started looking up to the stars instead of the dusty trails of the old West, Robots have become a huge part of toys, toy collecting, and our entertainment industry. Adding the prefix “Mecha-“ to just about any character immediately makes fans sit up and take notice. In this episode Tom & Dana discuss our first robots, how they’ve made their way into our hearts, minds, and most importantly, our collections.

39 min - 2 Guys Talkin' Toys - Episode 023 - Knowing vs Not KnowingDo you like surprises?Since the earliest days of collecting, toy companies have been smart to let kids/parents/collectors know what’s in the pipeline. Over the years their methods of doing so have evolved from announcing new product via commercials, to back of the package “coming soon” ads, to the current practice of announcing items that are literally just on the “To do” list. What do you prefer? Do you like knowing what’s coming our way or do you prefer to be surprised by a toy company’s offering?As always, we encourage you to join in the conversation and let us know what you think, let's get talkin'!Twitter - https://twitter.com/2guystalkintoysYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/@2guystalkintoys40 min
- 2 Guys Talkin' Toys - Episode 022 - Star WarsAside from being a cultural phenomena, Star Wars most likely holds some kind of importance for any and all collectors that grew up in the 70s and 80s (and the 90s and the 2000s). Its importance can never be overstated, it was/is one of the most influential properties and helped set the bar for the way toy companies create, promote, and distribute toys. How did Star Wars impact you as a collector, if at all?As always, we encourage you to join in the conversation and let us know what you think, let's get talkin'!Twitter - https://twitter.com/2guystalkintoysYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/@2guystalkintoys38 min
