Toy Talk Show Episode 1- Toyshop on Tour

Welcome to the Toy Talk Show, a new feature on the channel where we talk toys with others.

Our first guests are the amazing Joe and Gav from Leicester Vintage Toy Shop and hosts of Toy Shop on Tour now in its second season on YouTube.

We talk about the show, vintage toy trends, bootleg toys, how Palitoy would bury toys and our mutual admiration for toys that are “a bit naff.”

That’s why we created Toy-Ventures magazine, an old-school print publication dedicated to vintage toys from the 1960s to the 1990s. Each issue is packed with never before seen images and information written by some of the top collectors. We’ve got 7 issues and climbing; please check our page here or visit our store.
