NYC Toy Monthly

Jeez, RussBlue...did you happen to say hi to any of us?

I normally don't engage every customer in a deep conversation, as doing so would make running a business pretty difficult, eh? If you talk to me, I'm more than willing to talk...just ask the folks on this board.

Next time you come in, feel free to to say hi and I'll talk to you about anything your heart desires...I remember you (and your family) coming into the store but I think the staff (and people in general) are hesitant to just start chatting it up with customer who already have folks they are talking to...

I'm the surly looking fellow in black but I don't bite!

 

Sorry, last derail...

m3kcomp, sorry I guess I've heard such great things about Toy Tokyo and set my expectations really high. I'm not that talkative myself/on the shy side, so I don't start conversations much. You also look kind of intimidating I plan to visit again and will try to buy something (my mom doesn't like me spending money on toys) and talk to you if you're there that day. I think I overheard something about sdcc and pushead but I didn't want to be rude

 

Tell that to the bum who I've been trying to get away from the front of the store for two weeks!


Back on track...no talking for me this week either because I'm away on holiday...not for the same reason as Joe but away nonetheless.

 

haha, lorne is one of the nicest dudes around! don't judge a book by its cover.

maybe sometime next week would be better for a meetup since lorne and joe are gone. i'm still down if this week works for others though, as i have off the next three days,, woohoo~!!

 

If anyone wants to meet up THURSDAY night let me know.

Erik Sjoen and Mark Gradwell are both coming to NYC from San Francisco and Pennsylvania (respectively).
Erik posts here and is a well known Collector.
I'm not sure if Mark's made the rounds here or not but he is another big collector.

I'm not sure what we are all getting into, but it seems like it would be a good time none the less.

I'm shooting for East Village around Astor Place and then going to a nice bar/izakaya something like that.
7:30pm?

 

DAMN, Thurs no good for me. I have to shoot some naked ladies or something.

 

What are you Coop now?

 

If another date/time works better than offer it up guys!

 

we should do a nyc trade fest like they do out west. Maybe at the trophy bar, by the mishka shop. They have picnic tables out back for deal making, And booze to ease the sting of a tough trade.

 

i rly like this idea and could bring a whole mess of stuff!

 

exactly. I know I have ALOT of stuff I wont really be selling, BUT could make for some fun trades.

 

I'm trying to organize something similar in Philly on 09/10, hopefully with some trading as well

Hey I'm meeting up with a few board members tomorrow, Wednesday, so wanted to post it up if any one else can make it. Planning on meeting around 7:30 on the lower east side, maybe congregate around Toy Tokyo and head out to a bar.

 

See you there guy

 

Let's start this back up. Any ideas on a time and a place coming up? Even a centralized meet up spot and then walk to somewhere would work.

 

Is this idea dead? I was thinking of having a big Toy Blow Out in my basement....I live in Brooklyn, anyone interested?
Oh yeah, I got mad toys....I am somewhat of a hoarder and most of all of it is still in the bag and un-opened....and
I have been collecting a little over 15 years.....
Holla!

 

I'd definitely drive up for something like that.

 

Im interested as well. Any ideas on a day?

 

Hey Cesar, it was good to meet you at the Cotton Candy Machine event.
I'd be into this.

 

cesar is OG

 

cesar is back!
If you have something on a weekend, ryan and i should be able to make it down.

 

Count me in

 

I'm in!

 

Fuck count me in too.

 

down for this, but depending on day/time as i work crazy hours
