I did enjoy this Big Nerdy. I appreciate the transparency. I will admit that I'm surprised to hear that y'all are number 3 after BBTS and EE, but I'm so glad y'all are. It's just a surprise to me because y'all are doing everything yourselves. I know when I email you and Mrs. Nerdy, I'm talking directly to y'all, so I'm so happy for your success.

I made my first order Tuesday and got it early, it was packaged better than any other store I've ordered collectibles from. Goodbye BBTS and Amazon I'm only shopping with Big Nerdy and Miss Nerdy. Hopefully other toy hunters will see this. Give them a try, I guarantee you will be beyond impressed. They got the system down! I'm gonna order everything from them from now on. Y'all won me over. Thanks again guys. Me and my six year old are about to order a few more goodies in just a minute. Good luck and congratulations on having the most smooth and efficient system I've ever run across. I've said enough. If you don't shop with these guys your crazy. ✌️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The JoyToy stat wasn't terribly surprising yet still disappointing. I'm a huge JoyToy fan, but rarely purchase from American retailers. By the time BBTS, Nerdy, USAGS, etc... get JoyToy in stock that same product has already been available at ShowZ/GunDamIt, Flyima, etc... for a few weeks and at a price that's $3-30 cheaper per unit. The Chinese retailers just kill the American retailers' figure prices. I think BBTS succeeds by sitting on inventory until the Asian retailers are out of stock, then BBTS becomes the main game in town.

Love the data. Surprised by the gargoyles sales, as the giant space those take up and locking the other wings behind other figures, pushed me out of the line. I also wasn't a fan of Neca's take on War Duke. Love that Joe is doing better than TFs right now. Always great to hear my friend Bobby is doing well. I think Joytoy shows that the 18th scale is cold right now, and are only loved by a niche within a niche.

Interesting video and I like that your willing to talk about some of this stuff openly, but I also gotta say it seems to be filled with miss information or at the very least incomplete info needed for proper context. As you say numbers without context can be very miss leading and your not seemingly giving much context here. First let me say I think your store has a lot of potential and none of this is meant to be a personal attack on you or your store. But as someone who has a lot of experience in this hobby and dealing with many of the etailers out there that sell this stuff some of what you say here has left me scratching my head. First, I think saying you are the third largest toy etailer behind BBTS and EE is somewhat misleading and saying your doing better than Megalopolis as an example why is also very misleading, as if they were number 3 which they were not. Also because I think I heard you say this before, neither was Dorkside. It's also worth noting both of those places are now out of business. So if anything those places are examples of not how to survive in this business. Megalopolis spent a tremendous amount of money on marketing which is why most people in this small fandom had heard of them even though they were relatively new, but IMO never spent much on building up a true foundation for their business. They tried to project this image they were bigger than they really were wasting money on things that increased their overhead tremendously. Most of their money from what I could tell also didn't seem to come from actual profits but from investor money. So when the well ran dry so did their business. The key to success to surviving this business IMO is keeping overhead as low as possible which is something I think so far you have done a good job with but at some point in order to really grow your going to have to invest in things like warehouses, hiring more staff, marketing beyond doing your own KZitem videos and many other things which will drastically increase your overhead. Personally I am not sure this hobby has enough life left in it for a newcomer like yourself to get to that point, (but if it is possible I think you can do it). Anyway, even if you really were the third largest action figure etailer behind BBTS and EE, there is no one that comes even close to those two in regards to size. So essentially the gap between third and 2nd is very wide and any comparisons are kinda like saying a puddle of water is in the same league as a lake. BBTS and EE's success in some part simply comes from luck. They were lucky enough to get in on the ground floor of this hobby and it's taken them 20+ years to get to where they are now. As for the sales numbers part of this video, I think its very important to point out that your using numbers from your own very small store which isn't necessarily indicative of the overall hobby. I know you don't specifically say they are but I feel like a lot of people will walk away thinking that they are. So the best example I can give to this is with Transformers. My guess you don't reach very many Transfomers collectors out there and therefore your Transformers sales numbers aren't very high, but I guarantee Transformers sell a lot better than this video makes it seem like they do. So I guess what I am really saying here is if you just want to share your personal sales numbers, cool, but if the intent is to give a legit picture of what is selling well and what isn't, based on your store alone, I don't think you have enough data available to accurately give that picture.

Jay you wrote me a book LOL. Thank you for watching, I’m gonna try to respond…. 1. I don’t take this as a personal attack. You are a colleague and friend and I appreciate any/all feedback. 2. Apologies on being misleading, please let me know where. I tried to give info I thought was “interesting” without getting into the weeds. 3. When I say number 3, I am talking specifically about new toy action figure specialists (which I believe was previously dorkside- correct me if I’m wrong). Obviously any/all big box (Best Buy, game stop, etc) is gonna be bigger. And in fairness, because of everyone who has gone out of business… the competition in the market is low now. 4. You are 100% right on Megalopolis. They were ran like idiots economically and which is why they failed. I know you know the business side of this very well, so pause on the statement I showed and you will see just how bad they did at being smart. 5. Agree on overhead. I will say; however, that that is something I am very good at from my restaurant years. Also, I’m willing to slow revenue growth if needed to prevent “over growth”. 6. I do zero debt when it comes to financing. I refuse to take out loans or investors. That is the kiss of death. LOL there is still so much more. Message me, maybe we can jump on a stream together and you can go all journalist on me :)
