The gang at All C's is back after a few weeks. Talking about the collectible world. Its a new year and we are ready to buy collectibles.   

watch the video below: listen to the podcast below: It's time to close out yet another year of the Dandy Fun House. While all those “other shows” are slacking off and giving you retrospectives of everything they've already done in the past year, it is instead our tradition here at the Dandy Fun House to leave the past exactly there… in the past and instead look ahead to the brand spankin' new year coming at us like Frehley's Comet and take a glimpse at the coolest stuff we've been able to find that's waiting for us in 2026! We're going to look at theme parks, movies, pinball and of course the TOTY AWARD NOMINATION picks for the upcoming 2026 Toy of the Year Awards! Are you ready to get your kicks in 26? Then LET'S step into the FUN HOUSE! Hello and welcome to the Dandy Fun House 2025 year-end extravaganza where we wear the hats and blow our hooters about the very best in retro pop culture, toys and games and all the fun stuff! I’m your host Neil Dandy and in this episode we're going to look ahead at WHAT’S HOT ON THE HORIZON FOR 2026 in the worlds of theme parks, movies, pinball and my personal picks for the 2026 TOTY AWARDS (Toy of the Year). BUT FIRST! I have to show you these amazing DANDY FUN HOUSE T-Shirts before time runs out! Perfect for swaddling the baby new year, They have a front and a back so you don’t get cold and we even cut 4 holes in them! One to crawl your body into, one to stick your head out of and two to poke your arms through! Find them in the Dandy Fun Shop at the Dandy Fun House website at dandyfunhouse.com before the Dandy Ball Drops! Alrighty, hold on tighty and let’s get right into what's hot on the horizon for 2026 starting with… THEME PARKS! And up first is going to be UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, HOLLYWOOD (which isn't actually in Hollywood, it's in Studio City kind of like the LA Angels baseball team is actually in Anaheim and how they call the Embassy Suites here in Murfreesboro, Tennessee “Nashville South” which we absolutely are not. But anyway that's a rabbit hole rant for another day.) Anyway, UNIVERSAL STUDIOS in the greater Los Angeles, California area is breaking ground on a new roller coaster where each individual car experiences its very own 360 degrees of rotation. The coaster is called FAST AND FURIOUS HOLLYWOOD DRIFT themed after the Fast and Furious movies obviously. This one is expected to peel out in 2026! And Legoland California is busy building the Lego Galaxy space-themed land including an indoor roller coaster. Over at Kings Island in Ohio they're opening what they are calling a new “dark ride” in 2026 called “PHANTOM THEATER: Opening Nightmare.” It's in the location that has most recently held an attraction called Boo Blasters but is apparently the site of a previous attraction also called PHANTOM THEATER and this is apparently the return of that attraction with some various upgrades. I went to the Kings Island website to get more information and there's just a teaser video showing two girls walking into Boo Blasters and ending up in the Phantom Theater which appears to be a very loose sendup on the Phantom of the Opera. The cartoon phantom character they show in the teaser graphic is obviously based on the classic Lon Chaney silent film character, and visitors ride inside cars that resemble opera boxes. So… yeah. Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee (my neck of the woods kinda sorta) will be undertaking a $50 million expansion and also opening the world's first ever hybrid indoor family coaster and whitewater river raft ride called the “Night Flight Expedition.” Then under at Sea World, Orlando Florida they're diving into a new dark ride called SEAQuest: Legends of the Deep. If you don't know what a dark ride is, it basically means it's indoors and you get moved from scene to scene. It doesn't necessarily mean it's actually dark. Anyway, this new dark ride at Sea World Orlando will be what they are calling a suspended dark ride. The only information about this ride currently is that the rider will “discover dazzling ecosystems, legendary sea life, and breathtaking stories of resilience and wonder.” NEW MOBILITY DEVICE POLICY AT SEA WORLD! And speaking of Sea World, they have a controversial new policy which has been making the news lately that has just rolled out regarding mobility devices for the disabled. It appears that rollator walkers with seats are no longer permitted. The official updated policy from the Sea World website is as follows: “For the safety of our guests and employees, rollator walkers with seats on them are not permitted at SeaWorld Orlando. Alternative personal transportation options, including standard wheelchairs and Electric Convenience Vehicles (ECVs), are available. Walkers without a seat are permitted.” I'm guessing that more than a few guests were using their rollators like wheelchairs and it was causing some sort of safety concern in the parks. As someone who transports disabled people as my profession and handles mobility devices all day long, I can tell you from personal experience that a wheelchair itself is something you need to exercise caution with while pushing someone around. A rollator walker would be very, very easy to tip over if someone were attempting to use it as a wheelchair. So while I am disappointed at the inconvenience some disabled guests are going to face with this new policy, I want to be very careful not to demonize Sea World too quickly on this new policy. Guests can still borrow suitable mobility devices from guest services. Ok, time to work our flippers over to the world of PINBALL! Here are the rumored pinball releases expected in 2026 that caught my eye during the research for this episode. Please keep in mind these are only rumors… AMERICAN PINBALL is rumored to be releasing a CUPHEAD pinball machine in 2026 based on the wildly popular video game featuring some amazing vintage animation styles. I'll admit I'm not familiar with the character or the video game but I do love this vintage cartoon style! SPOOKY PINBALL is said to be working on a MOTORHEAD pinball machine for 2026. NO offense to guitarist Wurzel or drummer Mickey Dee (now playing with the Scorpions) who were crucial to keeping the band going in its later years, but I'm really hoping it honors the original lineup of Lemmy, Philthy Phil and Fast Eddie! BARRELS OF FUN PINBALL appears to be cooking up some GOONIES pinball for the new year! RAMPS PINBALL will be coming out with LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS! Oh please let the carnivorous plant eat the ball! And last but not least in our pinball 2026 rumours we have PINBALL ADVENTURES bringing us SUSHI MADNESS! Ni Ohashi Kudasai ! And if you're REALLY a pinball nut as we know you are, you'll want to put March 20th through the 22nd on your calendar because that's when Frisco, Texas braces itself for the annual TEXAS PINBALL FESTIVAL! Over 440 games. One incredible weekend! The website says tickets go on sale October 4th 2026. I have to imagine that's a typo and they really mean 2025 otherwise only those with the ability for reverse time travel will be able to attend. There will be tournaments and challenges, special guests and panels, exhibitors, parts, memorabilia, new games and there will be a special tech day for those trying to upgrade and/or fix their own machines. That's the TEXAS PINBALL FESTIVAL 2026! Rope you a ticket today! Yeehaw! Alright, I think we're ready to “steer” away from pinball and “drive” this herd into… MOVIES! First I'll start with letting you know a few of my favorite movies of 2025 before we get into what's ahead for 2026: JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH: Ok, it was pretty much par for the course but it had Scarlett Johansson carrying the entire movie on her shoulders alone and she pulled it off amazingly! MICKEY 17: This is a movie about a guy who signs on to do very dangerous grunt work in space for a corporation and every time he gets killed, the company just prints out a new copy of him with all his same memories. The crux is that the new copy never knows if he's actually the person being reborn every time or if he really dies and the new copy just has his memories and merely thinks he's the same person. Weird stuff. THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS – After many fantastic fails at trying to make this work on the big screen, they finally got the Fantastic Four right! The retro future vibe was spot on and all the actors were perfect! SUPERMAN: I was really upset about losing Henry Cavill as Superman, but James Gunn came back with a fresh new fun feel on this one starring David Corenswet, even bringing in Supe's dog Krypto! This movie was just a great time! More please! THE SMASHING MACHINE: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in a dramatic role co-starring Emily Blunt. It's the story of Mixed Martial arts and UFC Champion Mark Kerr and how he conquered his biggest opponent: addiction. And finally in my roundup of my favorite movies of 2025 I bring you… BUGONIA! This movie was a crazy trip with some really wild twists and many moments of pure cringe and I loved it! Starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons who seems to be showing up in everything lately! It's a story about two conspiracy nuts who kidnap a corporate CEO thinking she's a space alien trying to destroy the Earth. This was easily my biggest delightful surprise of 2025. But before we get to 2026, I'd like to give a special nod to TRON: ARES because I always expect anything starring Jared Leto to suck eggs and this did not! And SPINAL TAP II: The End Continues… Rest in peace Marty DiBergi. MOVIES I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2026! THE ODYSSEY Expected Jul 17, 2026: After the Trojan War, Odysseus faces a dangerous voyage back to Ithaca, meeting creatures like the Cyclops Polyphemus, Sirens, and Circe along the way. starring Matt Damon, Mia Goth, and Anne Hathaway. This could be really good or it could be really stupid. I'm betting this is going to be good and double or nothing that Mia Goth will be a siren or maybe Medusa. I think she'd make a good Medusa! EVIL DEAD BURN Expected Jul 24, 2026 – I'm a sucker for the Evil Dead movies. This one is not likely to have any Bruce Campbell, but they're keeping the details under tight wraps for now so who knows? COYOTE VS. ACME Expected Aug 28, 2026 PG A story set in the ACME warehouse, the manufacturer of anything and everything used by the Looney Tunes characters. And apparently John Cena is voicing one of the characters! Oh please oh please oh please get this right! If 2025's “The Day The Earth Blew Up” starring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig is any indication, I think we can have high hopes here! Ooh, that’s another one of my favorites from 2025 I left off the list! INSPECTOR GADGET – No details are available but I think we're long overdue for some Go Go Gadget action! DUNE Part Three Expected Dec 18, 2026 It follows Muad’dib, heir to unimaginable power, as he brings to fruition the ancient scheme to create a superbeing ruler among men, not in the heavens. And according to imdb it’s starring Starring Rebecca Ferguson, Timothée Chalamet and Anya Taylor-Joy. Did you pick up what I just picked up? Zendaya is not listed as a cast member on IMDB! How can this IMD Be!? You tell me! PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN (untitled) – That's all we know folks. Hopefully they got things squared away with Johnny Depp. That is if they want to sell tickets. I AM LEGEND 2 – Military scientist Robert Neville seems the sole survivor in virus-ravaged New York. He’s waging a fight against “Darkseekers”, mutants resembling vampires trying to capture him as he searches for a cure. Starring Will Smith and Michael B. Jordan Alright! I could go for a sequel to I AM LEGEND! Especially when you add Michael B into the mix! I'd really like a sequel to iRobot but this'll do me for now! BLADE – That's right they are teasing a new Blade movie for 2026 with Mia Goth listed in the cast but of course the burning question is DO THEY HAVE WESLEY SNIPES??? They gave him a cameo as Blade in the Deadpool vs. Wolverine movie last year. But Snipes is NOT listed in the cast on IMDB as of yet! There is also an Untitled Denzel Washington Project Based on the historical figure of Hannibal, considered one of the greatest military commanders of all time. The film covers the crucial battles he led against the Roman Republic during the Second Punic War. You had me at Denzel, not to mention I love historical action movies. Bring it on! THE BRIDE Expected Mar 6, 2026 In 1930s Chicago, Dr. Frankenstein asks Dr. Euphronius to help create a companion. They give life to a murdered woman as the Bride, sparking romance, police interest, and radical social change. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Christian Bale THIS IS THE ONE I'M WAITING FOR! Love Christian Bale and love the concept of setting the story of The Bride of Frankenstein in 1930's Chicago! Let's go! SCANDALOUS! This will be the story behind the Hollywood romance of Sammy Davis Jr. and actress Kim Novak. I love anything related to Sammy Davis Jr. “It's gonna be fantastic baby!” CLAYFACE – Expected Sep 11, 2026 A shape-shifting creature made of magical clay haunts Gotham City, alternating between villain and ally of Batman. Ok, it's a Batman villain and not a super obvious one! Looks interesting! EVEL KNIEVEL ON TOUR – This one is going to be about Legendary motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel and apparently the drama that surrounded the run-up to his 1974 attempt at jumping the Snake River Canyon in Idaho.Starring Leonardo DiCaprio Ok, first of all, Evel was planning to jump the Grand Canyon but couldn't get the ok from the US Government so he made a deal with an Indian tribe to jump the Snake River Canyon seeing how it was located on sovereign tribal land. Anyway, a new movie about Evel Knievel? Heck yeah! THE HUNGER GAMES: SUNRISE ON THE REAPING – Expected Nov 20, 2026 This new installment of the Hunger Games will explore Panem 24 years before Katniss’ saga, starting on the morning of the reaping for the 50th Hunger Games, where a young Haymitch Abernathy participates. Ok, this could be alright. I'm not super excited about it but I could be swayed since it won't have Jennifer Lawrence in it. And that's it for THE MOVIES I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2026! Now for TOYS! What I like to do this time of year is see what toys from 2025 have been nominated in various categories for a coveted TOY OF THE YEAR award otherwise known as a TOTY and let you know my personal picks, not that anyone in the industry is giving me a vote. Maybe someday. BUT TODAY I bring you MY PERSONAL 2026 TOTY AWARD NOMINEE PICKS! ACTION FIGURE OF THE YEAR: I like Avatar Interactive Shoulder Banshee by Disney Consumer Products – This thing looks pretty cool. It's basically a small, colorful looking dragon that sits on your shoulder and attaches via a magnetic base you wear under your clothing. A handheld controller allows you to control head and wing movements as well as its voice. This thing is pretty darn awesome! In the COLLECTIBLES category: There are two different nominees that caught my eye. One is Sticki Rolls Series 2 by Sky Castle Toys which is basically charm bracelets marketed to girls with rolls of small stickers on them with different fun graphics. The other nominee I like is Wigglitz by ZB Designs. These are tiny toy figurines of almost every type of fun character you can imagine that have some sort of wiggly aspect to them, or better put: something that moves when you wiggle them. If I had to choose between these two, I'd probably go with Wigglitz because it's something you'll get continual enjoyment from whereas the Sticki Rolls are only fun until you run out of stickers. CONSTRUCTION PLAYSET OF THE YEAR: I have to give it to GeckoBot 2.0 by Thames & Kosmos, This is a kit where you build your very own robotic gecko that actually climbs up your windows. Thames & Kosmos just keeps knocking it out of the park! CREATIVE TOY OF THE YEAR: Crayola Marker Airbrush has got my vote (that is if I HAD A VOTE which I don't!). If you've ever dreamed of someday making awful-looking t-shirts and hats on the boardwalk, then THIS could be your starter kit! It's an actual working airbrush sprayer courtesy of everyone's favorite crayon company, Crayola! It even comes with various spray color cartridges so you start saying it by spraying it! DOLL OF THE YEAR: Admittedly, I as a 57 year old man should absolutely NOT be voicing my opinion on the Doll of the Year Award (DOTY award?) but if I had to choose from the list of 2026 nominees I would hands-down pick Woof & Co by Sunny Days Entertainment. It's a collection of fashionable dogs of various breeds who all dress FABULOUS! Yeah, this is the one I'd go for. EDUCATIONAL TOY OF THE YEAR: In this category I am really liking the SNAP CIRCUITS SPY KIT by Elenco Electronics. This has a bunch of components that you just snap together to make all sorts of cool stuff like a vibration sensor, motion detector, trip wire, voice changer and a whole lot more. Oh the trouble I would have gotten myself into if I had something like this when I was a kid! GAME OF THE YEAR: I've gotta tell you, there's not a bad one in the bunch of nominees this year for Game of the Year! They've got an EXPLODING KITTENS BOARD GAME where you actually flip the entire board and all the pieces stay in place! There's a Simon game (you know, the memory game Simon?) where they took it and incorporated it into a dance mat called SIMON JUMP. So you stomp out your moves on the dance mat! Then there's COWS IN SPACE where magnetic flying saucers dangle from your forehead via a sproingy headstrap and the object is to abduct cows from a field with your flying saucer! But the game that caught my attention the most was TETRIS TUMBLE XL! It's sort of like Giant Jenga except there is a base that rocks side to side and you roll a die to see what tetris pieces you have to stack on top of it and of course whoever makes the stack fall to the ground is the LOSER! I like this. It's like a great big fun yard game you could also play in your living room. TETRIS TUMBLE XL for Game of the Year is my choice! INFANT / TODDLER TOY OF THE YEAR: Ok, maybe another category I might not be the best judge for but I'm who you've got pal! And in this category I choose Pour ‘N’ Grow Pop-Up Garden by Yookidoo. This appears to be mainly a bath time toy kit but you could play with it really anywhere as long as you have some water onhand. It's pretty simple: you've got three different toys, The fill and water flower, Peek A Bee and Pop Up Worm. You pour water into them or onto them and the water turns some internal mechanisms to make the flower open, the worm come out and wiggle or gets the bee to play peek a bee with you! Very unique and inventive and in my opinion, the absolute best of this year's bunch! KIDULT TOY OF THE YEAR: Kidult? That means it's made for ages 14 and up. And I'm really torn down the middle between two nominees on this one. I like the Miniverse Make it Mini Food Diner Series 4 by MGA Entertainment which is an art kit for making your own food minis that you control the designs and colors of. Have you ever walked past a restaurant that had fake food on display showing examples of their most popular dishes? Well that's what you'll be making with this kit only really, really small. The name is way too long though. Or if you just want something cool to play with that doesn't really take any time and effort, I offer you the ZipString Aracna, which is a newer version of the ZipString string loop toy, but it attaches to your wrist so you can shoot it out like Spiderman! (although they obviously aren't allowed to actually invoke Spiderman but they sure are bending over backwards suggesting it as extremely as they legally can!) The really cool feature of this Kidult toy of the year nominee is the glow feature! Flip a switch on the ZipString wrist launcher, turn off the lights and do all sorts of awesome tricks and shapes in the dark with a glowing string loop. So… Miniverse Make it Mini Food Diner Series 4 or the the ZipString Aracna! The Miniverse Make it Mini Food Diner Series 4 triggers me relentlessly with that obnoxiously long name, so on that basis alone I am giving the nod to the ZipString Aracna! OUTDOOR TOY OF THE YEAR: I think there should really be two sub categories here. One for younger kids and one for older. For the older kids, I was really blown away by the Crazy Cart Shuffle by Razor USA. This thing is like a Big Wheel or a Green Machine on steroids. Not only can you pedal around in this thing but you can spin and also drift. It's really neat. And speaking of neat, for the little ones I absolutely love the Outdoor Kitchen by Hape. It's not a real kitchen of course but it's a really cool miniature toy version of an outdoor kitchen setup! Come on TOTY Awards, let's break this one up by age groups! PRESCHOOL TOY OF THE YEAR: Ok, there were some good ones in here and maybe I'm judging on my own male bias from a bygone era but my favorite here was the Little Tikes Creative Construction Power Cuts Set by MGA Entertainment. It's a woodworking shop playset with an actual working , low-powered plastic chop saw which cuts through foam 2x4s and also comes with a play hammer, nails, measuring tape and carpenter pencil which is actually a marker. In the video demonstration I watched, the chop saw did struggle getting through the foam wood, but when you're talking about preschoolers, that's probably about the best you can hope for. We desperately need more encouragement and inspiring of our youth towards the skilled trades in my humble opinion and this is a refreshing step in that direction. Nicely done! SPECIALTY TOY OF THE YEAR: I was truly taken by the Yes & Know Original Invisible Ink Trivia Game Books by Tree Town Toys. These are basically activity books where different things are revealed with the use of a special invisible ink pen. This looks fantastic for keeping the younguns busy on a road trip or maybe in a waiting room or anywhere you want to keep them distracted. That is until you run out of invisible ink and invisible ink activity books! And those are my picks for the 2026 TOTY AWARDS and THAT'S our look ahead at what's hot on the horizon for 2026! What are YOU looking forward to? Let me know! If you’re enjoying this episode on one of the socials, leave a comment. Otherwise you can email me at neil @ dandyfunhouse . com And even though I said I wasn't going to do a retrospective of this past year, I will tell you my favorite Dandy Fun House episode from this past year of 2025: Oh, who am I kidding? It's always the Halloween episode where the Dandy Fun House becomes the Dandy Spook Shack and I get to dress up like a ghoul. But my second favorite might have to be the deep dive into the iconic toy company WHAM-O! I learned so much doing that one! You might think I just come on here and already know all this stuff I talk about but on the contrary, I do a great deal of research in the weeks leading up to producing an episode and I'm constantly learning amazing new things which is why I really love doing this! DANDY FUN HOUSE Plans for 2026? More of the same of course! We're getting really close to monetization on YouTube. Technically we're already supposed to be there but YouTube gives conflicting information on this and is notorious for constantly moving the goalposts. So while we love publishing to YouTube, we certainly don't put all our Dandy Eggs in that basket. We also publish to Instagram, Facebook, X, Tik Tok and Rumble as well as our very own DANDY FUN HOUSE WEBSITE AT dandyfunhouse.com where you can watch the video, listen and subscribe to the podcast or read the entire episode in written form along with pictures! Who does that!? WE DO! THAT'S WHO! And we do it by hand. No AI stuff. Okay, full disclosure, we DO use AI to help transcribe the episodes into written form and also the captions for the short form videos, but it always gets things wrong so we always go over it personally and make the needed corrections. But while you're on our website checking out all the episodes and buying stuff from the Dandy Fun Shop, be sure to visit our PATRONAGE PAGE where you can support future productions with your modest financial gifts! SUPPORTERS gain access exclusive bonus content AND SUPER SUPPORTERS gain that same access plus I’ll personally send you something amazing from right here at the Dandy Fun House Studios if you include your mailing address! Podcast Listeners may often support through a donation link in your listening app of choice of the app offers it, I understand not all do. And your 5 star reviews wherever you can leave them are always highly appreciated! And THAT ladies and gentlemen sticks a fork in 2025. Please don't forget the reason for the season, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and come on back next year for some amazing new frivolities in 2026! You never know what kind of crazy trouble we could get into, right here at the Dandy Fun House where everything is always FUN AND DANDY! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everybody!

Show Notes: Https://wetfyswing.com/862 Sponsors: TroutRoutes, Fish The Fly, and Smitty's Fly Box. Sponsors:https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors There's a certain kind of fly fishing knowledge you don't get from a quick scroll or a gear review. You get it from someone who's been there when the "new" stuff was being invented, watched it cycle back around, and saved the paper trail along the way. That's what this conversation with Jim Adams felt like: a walk through the hidden world of fly-fishing collectibles, rare books, and the history behind the gear we all obsess over. Jim's story starts way back in 1943, tying his first fly at nine years old, and stretches through Florida Keys tarpon on bamboo, world travel, Alaska salmon research, and a lifetime of collecting and selling some of the rarest angling books and tackle out there. If you've ever wondered what makes a bamboo rod truly collectible, why some reels hit five figures, or how fly fishing keeps reinventing itself, this one's for you.

In Episode 16 of Breaking Bread, Stafford sits down once again with good friend, mentor, and serial entrepreneur Will Bradham. Will returns to the podcast to talk candidly about business, life, and the everyday realities of building companies in Mississippi. He currently owns and operates Right at Home, a home-care service that provides nurses and professional caregivers to families in need, Delta Maids, a statewide cleaning company, and Bradham's Collectibles, a sports memorabilia and baseball card shop in downtown Oxford, Mississippi. This conversation feels more like two friends catching up than a formal interview, touching on lessons learned, relationships, and the value of community. Will also reflects on being the most recent guest at the Success Supper Club, an event that was a big success and continues the mission of bringing entrepreneurs together around the table.

From the opening cutscene to the final boss, Astro Bot is both one of the greatest platformers ever made and a joyous celebration of 30 years of Playstation history. I treasure a game like this as a player, and almost even moreso as a critic. I hope you enjoy the discussion!

In this week's episode of The Game Deflators Podcast, John and Ryan bring a packed agenda to the table. The duo kicks things off with fresh updates from their ongoing Strixhaven D&D campaign, sharing the latest twists, character antics, and how the story is evolving. Looking ahead, they set their New Games Resolutions for 2026, laying out the titles they're determined to play, backlog goals, and what they hope to accomplish as gamers in the new year. The conversation then shifts to the 2025 Game Awards, where John and Ryan break down the highlights of the show, their favorite (and least favorite) trailers, and whether the event lived up to the hype. Adding a more analytical angle, the hosts dive into a new Boston Consulting Group report on gamer purchasing habits, exploring what the data says about how players are spending, and what it could mean for the industry moving forward. Finally, they wrap things up with a retro spotlight: a review of Batman Returns for the SNES, revisiting the beat 'em up classic to see if it still holds up today.   00:00 Introduction to the Game Deflators Podcast 01:17 Recent Game Pickups and D&D Updates 03:36 D&D Campaign Adventures and Challenges 10:58 Future Campaign Plans and Game Mechanics 19:39 Current Gaming Experiences and New Game Resolutions 27:48 Nostalgia in Collectibles and Blind Boxes 28:21 Exploring Metal Gear Solid: A Legendary Experience 34:19 New Game Resolutions and Game Picks 38:08 Game Awards Highlights and Reactions 49:17 Exciting Game Trailers and Anticipations 56:43 The Changing Landscape of Gaming Purchases 01:01:03 Backlogs and Gaming Habits 01:04:31 Inflation vs. Deflation: Game Pricing Discussion   Want more Game Deflators content?

From negotiating on the phone for some art to generating 10 Billion dollars a year, Pierre Omidyar built an empire out of other peoples stuff. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brand. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [Travis Crawford Ad] Dave Young: [inaudible 00:01:32] and sold. eBay is the topic today. Oh, by the way, welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast. I’m Dave Young, that’s Steve Semple in your other ear. Is that how this works, are we each in one ear? Stephen Semple: I’m not sure. Dave Young: I don’t think that’s how this works. Stephen Semple: I don’t pay enough attention to things like that. Dave Young: As the countdown timer went down, Stephen told me we’re going to talk about eBay and I went immediately to the sound of the auctioneers of my youth back in my hometown. Stephen Semple: Oh, God. Dave Young: There’s cattle sales and estate sales. On any Saturday morning walking around in a small town, off in the distance you hear somebody with one of those cheap portable PA systems, “Give me five, give me five, give me five, give me five, five, five.” Aren’t you glad that eBay doesn’t have sound effects? Stephen Semple: Maybe it should. It might make it more entertaining. Dave Young: There’s some AI auctioneer going 24/7 for two weeks. Stephen Semple: Oh, my God, Dave, the fact you’ve now said it, you know what meme is going to happen. Oh, no, you put it out there. So when you come across this as a meme- Dave Young: There’s that little mute thing on the screen where if you turn it on, there’s some AI, “We’ve got $12.50. Since Tuesday, we have $12.50. Anyone, anyone?” Stephen Semple: So when this meme is driving us nuts on social media, you can blame Dave Young. Dave Young: I don’t see it happening. Oh, yeah, back. Oh, we’re going to talk about eBay. Stephen Semple: But talking about auctions for a second, here’s what I always find fascinating. Somebody will have something and they’ll go, “Okay, do I have an opening bid of $500?” Nothing. “Okay, do I have an opening bid at $200? Now do I have an opening bid of $100?” Somebody bids for 100 and then the damn thing ends up selling for 750. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: And I’m like, “Wait a minute. It sold for 750 and no one was willing to open at 500. What the heck?” I don’t get it. Dave Young: I know. There’s a … Man, I’m not a big auction person. It stresses me to be in the bidding war. Stephen Semple: Right. Dave Young: I don’t know why. Even on eBay. Stephen Semple: Right. Dave Young: But there’s a psychology of auctions- Stephen Semple: Clearly. Dave Young: … that certain people … I don’t know for sure, I’m not a psychologist, Stephen, but I play one on a podcast. I think there’s a compulsion that’s similar to gambling and I think it’s just there’s a dopamine hit involved when you’re active in an auction. Stephen Semple: There probably is. Dave Young: And I think there’s a bit of a compulsion to it maybe. Stephen Semple: Maybe. Dave Young: Because it also, as long as you have the money to do it, it’s probably a little safer than gambling because if you lose, you don’t lose then. Stephen Semple: Right, right. Dave Young: If you win, hopefully you’ve won and purchased something that’s worth more than you paid. Stephen Semple: Right. Dave Young: That’s the upside. The downside is that you didn’t get the thing that you wanted. Stephen Semple: Right. Dave Young: But you didn’t lose any money. Stephen Semple: Cool. Well, let’s talk about eBay. Dave Young: Let’s do. Wasn’t Musk involved in it, and Thiel and those guys? Stephen Semple: No. Dave Young: Or am I thinking wrong? Stephen Semple: You’re thinking wrong. Dave Young: I get all my American oligarchs confused. Stephen Semple: They were over in the PayPal world. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: But the thing that’s interesting about eBay is it’s still a really important player in online retail. We can kind of forget about it because the growth has been stalled a little bit in the last bunch of years, but they still do $10 billion- Dave Young: That’s amazing. Stephen Semple: … in sales, which- Dave Young: I remember back when, probably in the first five or six years of eBay, you could use eBay, like if you had something you wanted to sell. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Not a garage sale, but just list somewhere to sell. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: You could actually scour eBay and see what it was probably going to get you, what would be a good way to price it. That was always a way to see what are these going for? Stephen Semple: Right, because you could see what things were bidding at. So they are a really important part of the history of online retailing. And they were founded by Pierre Omidyar who was born in France to Iranian parents, and immigrated to the United States as a kid. And the company was founded in March ’96. And he had worked at a startup that he had got bought out from, he did pretty well. And he set up a consulting business called Echo Bay Technology Group, so that was the first thing he had going on. Dave Young: Echo Bay, okay. Stephen Semple: Echo Bay, Echo Bay Technology Group. And one day, a friend noticed that he had bought these bunch of drawings and was like, “Oh, tell me about these drawings.” And he was like, “Well, I saw them listed in the newspaper and I gave the guy a call, and we backed-and-forthed a few times, and I got a really good price on it.” And this was a seed of an idea. He was like, “You know what? There’s lots of stuff listed in newspapers and classified ads.” And if we remember, back in the day, going way back in the mid-’90s. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: The most profitable part of many, many newspapers was the classified ads. I remember being a portfolio manager and looking at one company called Torstar, it was a big newspaper group here in Canada. And yeah, literally, 25% of their revenue was classified ads. Massive part, massive, massive part of the business. But if you think about a classified ad, you’ve got to call up the newspaper, you’ve got to create the ad, you’ve got to send the ad over, and then somebody’s got to phone you, and then you’ve got to back-and-forth on price. There’s lots of friction there. There’s lots of touchpoints. Dave Young: Well, and you have to go pay the newspaper even before you could pay them online, right? Stephen Semple: Oh, right, you had to go … Yeah. Dave Young: You had to pay for that ad. I think most of those were probably in. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Unless the newspapers take a payment over the phone. Stephen Semple: So he looked at it and he went, “Not only is there all these touchpoints to creating the ad and paying for the ad, there’s all these touchpoints in terms of the selling process.” And he looked at it and he went, “I think there’s a way for technology to eliminate all of that, and it’s clearly a big business because people spend lots of money-“ Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: “… on classified ads.” So this was the seed, this was the seed of the idea. How do I make this easier, frictionless, and all this other stuff for customers? So he decided, “Well, I’ve got this consulting webpage, I’ll just do a page on my consulting site. On Echo Bay Consulting Services, I’m just going to put a page in there and I’m going to play around with it.” Because what he wanted to do was eliminate the need to contact the newspaper, make it easy to write the ad, and then basically make it easier to make the sale, and he really felt the internet could do this. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: And he also wanted to facilitate the price negotiation because he felt like people don’t really want to do that whole back-and-forth. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: And the model he looked at was auctions. He went, “Wow, what if I could do an online auction site?” Because now, now the buyer and seller don’t have to have this conversation. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: And the marketplace will just set the price. Dave Young: And you know that they’re going to be paying attention as the time wears down. Stephen Semple: Yeah, all sorts of things with that. So he launches it with a really simple design, there’s no pictures or anything like that, which we look at that today. But then I thought about and I went, “Well, wait a minute, that’s not really a disadvantage,” because there was no pictures in the newspaper one either. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So the whole idea of requiring a picture, we were used to doing this stuff without pictures through the newspaper classifieds. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So he sets up the site and he calls it Auction Web. And he launches it on September 3rd, 1995. Dave Young: Okay. Auction Web. Stephen Semple: Sorry, I said the wrong date. I said the wrong date earlier, the date was when it really started making sales. But Auction Web launches September 3rd, 1995, not March ’96. He decides to do a test, and this is people of … This has test has been written up a whole pile of times. He’s looking around, he’s got this broken laser pointer. Dave Young: A broken laser pointer. Stephen Semple: It’s broken. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: And on the ad he even says, “This is broken.” And he puts it up and it sells after a few weeks for $14.83. Dave Young: Sweet. Better than throwing it away. Stephen Semple: He even calls the bidder because he’s like, “I got to make sure this guy know it’s broken. I don’t want to send this to him and have him ticked off.” And he goes, “Yeah, I know it’s broken, but I know how to fix these things and it’s cheaper to fix it.” So he’s like, “All right, I’ll send you my broken laser pointer.” So he starts advertising, he starts going to all these chat rooms because remember, this is back in the mid-’90s and there was these chat rooms all over the place. So he would be going to these chat rooms and he was promoting Auction Web on chat rooms. Now, the other thing he changed was newspapers would charge a fee to list. So the other friction point with people was, “It’s still going to cost me five bucks, whether this sells or not.” Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So he said, “There’s going to be no fee to list. What you’re going to do is you’re going to pay me a commission when it sells.” So he removed the fee, he replaced it with a commission. Now, here’s the crazy thing. Here’s the crazy thing. The commission was collected on the honor system. People mailed in the payments. Dave Young: Really? Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Stay tuned, we’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell Ad] www.UsingStoriesToSell.com Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off, and trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: Here’s the crazy thing. Here’s the crazy thing. The commission was collected on the honor system. People mailed in the payments. Dave Young: Really? Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: He was I guess then not coordinating the payment either? Stephen Semple: Not at that point. Dave Young: So you sell something to me on eBay, I just get back with you and pay you, and then you ship it to me? Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: But you found your buyer. You were using the auction site to find your buyer. Stephen Semple: You were using the auction to find the buyer, the buyer paid you directly, you shipped it directly to the buyer, and then you would send me a payment for the commission because you go, “I owe Auction Web four bucks.” And it worked. They found most people paid. Most people paid. Now, I think what they also figured out- Dave Young: I would guess that the ones that didn’t, maybe the sale falls through or something. Stephen Semple: Right. Well, and I think the other thing they figured out is for a lot of people, especially sellers, they probably weren’t one-time sellers, so they also wanted to continue to potentially … Anyway. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: I just found it hurt my brain a little bit when I was like, “Really, that’s how it ran?” Dave Young: Yeah, wow. Stephen Semple: And it worked, and it’s nice to feel like things like this can happen. So in March 1996, they hit $1000 in revenue for the month. By May, it’s 5000. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: By October, they’re doing 1000 auctions a day. This thing when it took off- Dave Young: It took off like wildfire. Stephen Semple: Just took off like fricking wildfire. And Pierre realizes, “Man, I got a real business here and I really didn’t want to run a business. I’m a tech guy.” So he hires Jeffrey Skoll to be the president. He just goes out almost right away and hires him because he’s like, “This thing is going to the Moon.” Now, think about this. This site is hard to find. It’s still a page on Echo Bay Technology Group’s website. Dave Young: Oh, man. And it’s called Auction Web, or something. Stephen Semple: And it’s called Auction Web. So the first thing they realize is, “We got to change that.” And they go to get echobay.com and echobay.com is taken by a Canadian mining company. Dave Young: Oh, okay. Stephen Semple: So they shorten it to eBay. Dave Young: eBay. Stephen Semple: Which I actually think is in a lot of ways- Dave Young: Which is better anyway. Stephen Semple: It is better. It is better. Dave Young: Yeah, it’s four letters. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Try to buy yourself a four-letter domain name these days. Stephen Semple: So in September ’97, it changes from the wonderful name of Auction Web to eBay. Dave Young: And gets its own domain, yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah, and it gets its own domain. Now at this time, it’s mostly tech nerds looking for parts, that’s really what got it going. If you think about it, that also makes sense because he’s going to those early chat sites on the web. Dave Young: Those are the people that were online early. Stephen Semple: Well, it is. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: It was, and especially where you’re promoting it going to these chat groups. That would be mainly nerds in there. But what they figure out is they do want to make this a little bit more of a mass appeal. So they wanted to find things that were products that people already want, but were hard to get their hands on. And what they figured out was they wanted to do Beanie Babies. Dave Young: Oh, there you go. Stephen Semple: Because what they discovered was there was a community of Beanie Babies, collectors of Beanie Babies. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So they reached out to them and because, let’s face it, they were limited number, they were not sold everywhere, and collectors loved them. So they actually created an auction category for this toy alone. They created a category for Beanie Babies. And very quickly, they sold $500,000 worth of Beanies Babies almost right out of the gate. Dave Young: Man. You know where my brain’s going with this? Stephen Semple: No, I don’t. Dave, I never know where your brain is going. Dave Young: Well, hang on. I rarely do. I know a little bit of the story of Beanie Babies, I think I watched the weird documentary or movie about it. But I’ll bet you this contributed to the demise of the Beanie Baby craze because now you could actually see the value of your Beanie Baby. Stephen Semple: Oh, maybe. Maybe. Dave Young: Right? You put your Beanie Baby on and, “Oh, God, it didn’t sell for as much as I thought it was worth.” And it turns out that you also just found a million other, yeah, you found a million other people that have one. Stephen Semple: Right. Dave Young: And you’re like, “Maybe this isn’t as valuable as I thought it was.” Stephen Semple: Maybe. That’s an interesting … Interesting. Dave Young: Whereas if you’re only going to little craft fairs and get togethers, a whole different deal. I don’t know. Stephen Semple: Maybe. Don’t know. Dave Young: That’s worth studying. Go ahead. Stephen Semple: Yeah, that’s an interesting thought. So they created this category for Beanie Babies and it explodes. So within four months, the whole collectibles part of the site- Dave Young: Oh, sure. Stephen Semple: … is just blowing up. By mid-1998, they have 750,000 users, which is a huge number. They’re rivaling AOL’s numbers in that day. They’re doing 400,000 auctions. Now, here’s the other thing that they discovered, the other innovation that they did, that they were the creators of. They were the first to do this. They would get people calling in complaining. So what they decided to do was create a feedback form that is public. Now, what made this one different, it was ranking the seller and ranking the buyer. Dave Young: Right, right. Stephen Semple: Which no one had done before. Dave Young: Yeah. You go into it and you’re a shitty buyer, so the seller says … Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah, “Be careful if you’re selling to this guy, or don’t buy from this person.” Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: And it was less about ranking the product, because everything before was about the product, but this was about the ranking of the buyer and the seller in a public format. Look, that’s one of the cornerstones of our whole review system today, much of it is person-to-person. Much of it is person-to-person. Dave Young: Yeah, yeah. Stephen Semple: And these guys innovated that and were the first to do that. So they’re really growing, they end up hiring Meg Whitman as CEO, and she really brought a strategy to the business which turned it into profitable business. And by fall of 1998, so you think about it, they’re just at it for a couple years, they end up going public at a $2 billion valuation. Dave Young: Amazing. Stephen Semple: The growth on them was really spectacular. And here’s the thing that I loved about this story is he bought something through the traditional manner. Saw it in the newspaper, bought it, and then looked at it and went, “The web is ideal for just making this,” I know we use the word friction, but I just prefer, “making this whole thing easier. I can make it easier to post. I can make it easier to sell because there’s less back-and-forth. I can just make this whole process easier.” Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: “And I already know lots of people are doing it, it’s super profitable for newspapers. So clearly, lots of people are doing it.” I love that thought process. And I also love the fact that he ran an experiment. Let’s just do something and test this out. The other thing I really liked was once it got going and it’s in that niche, they immediately went, “What’s something I can do to expand across it?” And what they recognized was where this fit was with something that lots of people are doing, but is hard to connect people together. Dave Young: Yeah, yeah. Stephen Semple: Right? So what they actually recognized was we are actually a facilitator. Dave Young: Absolutely. Stephen Semple: “And what is something that we can facilitate? Collectibles. Where are we going to start? We’ll start with Beanie Babies. What the heck, that’s where we’ll start.” I thought that that was a really great starting point because their whole thing was, “How do we make things easier?” And I find not enough businesses think about the whole how do I make things easier for my consumer? How do I bundle things so it’s a fixed price? How do I do this? How do I do it? And any time a business makes things easier for the consumer, it wins. And look, eBay went from nothing to a few years being a couple billion-dollar business. Dave Young: Yeah, amazing. Stephen Semple: Yeah, and they’re still doing, as I said, 10 billion in revenue today. Dave Young: I rarely go there. Stephen Semple: Yeah, I don’t use them either. Dave Young: We sold some things on eBay years ago. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Right? We just said, “Oh, we have this stuff and we know that there’s people out there that want it.” I’m thinking of homeschool books that our kids are now grown. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: That was a good place to list things like that. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Because you may not know somebody in town that’s got a kid the right age for it. Stephen Semple: Well, and today there’s more competition. You’ve got Facebook Marketplace. Dave Young: Absolutely. Stephen Semple: And I think Amazon has an auction site as well. There are other options, but clearly there’s still things eBay’s doing really correctly for them- Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: … to still, as I said, to be a $10 billion business. Dave Young: How much of what they do now is true auction versus just true commerce? Stephen Semple: You know what? I did not research the breakdown. I didn’t research the breakdown of that. Dave Young: Because when they put the buy it now button on. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: You could list something and then let people bid on it, but you could also just say, “If it goes below this, I’m not selling it.” Stephen Semple: Right. Dave Young: Put a buy it now button up there and if it doesn’t sell, maybe relist it down the road. Stephen Semple: Again, and I think it’s more around this collectible space. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: I know there’s certain spaces that they are still pretty big on. Dave Young: It’s the place. Stephen Semple: And one of them oddly enough is auto parts. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Let’s say you’ve got a ’65 Corvette and you’re looking for an old Corvette part, seemingly a pretty popular place to go is eBay. Dave Young: Okay. What if you have a ’65 Dodge Dart? Probably the same. Stephen Semple: Probably the same. Dave Young: Probably the same. Stephen Semple: Just one is really cool. Dave Young: Yeah, right? The parts are going to be a little rusty. Stephen Semple: And I’ll let the audience decide based on their preferences which one is really cool. Dave Young: That’s how the market- Stephen Semple: And let the argument begin. Dave Young: That’s how the market works. That’s how the marketplace works. Well, I’m glad to hear the story of eBay, Stephen. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Thank you for bringing it to the Empire Builders Podcast. Stephen Semple: Yeah, it was kind of fun. And you’re bidding at the beginning was awesome. Dave Young: Oh, thank you. Really, when I was young, I figured out that the way to emulate an auctioneer is just to make noise with your mouth and then rub your finger over your lips while you’re doing it. [inaudible 00:22:44]. That’s it, that’s it. Now you’re an auctioneer. Thanks, Stephen. Stephen Semple: Alright. Thanks, David. Dave Young: Thanks for listening to the podcast.

Leslye Headland and The #Acolyte are back in the Star Wars news again.  This time, Headland talks about how her show was "always a major risk" and alluding to it being at a disadvantage to other Star Wars, like Tony Gilroy's #Andor, due to having less content and story already built for the era.  Umm... what did #GeorgeLucas have to work off of from the start?  No... good storytellers write good stores whether they have pre-existing content or not.  Listen as the Crew delves into this a bit as well.Happy #birthday to Bogie!

On this episode of Passion to Profession presented by eBay, I sit back down with Tait, the owner of Hoody's Collectibles. Our last chat happened in February, and a lot has changed since then.We cover what it takes to run a real sports card business in 2025, why some products fly and others stall, and how Tait navigates the swings of the market while managing stores, consignment, and a nonstop flow of collections.We also walk through several standout cards that moved through Hoody's this year, from Griffey Superfractors to Jordan inserts to vintage Mantle. If you want an honest look at how a shop owner stays sharp, stays connected, and stays growing, this one will hit you.A special thank you to eBay for sponsoring Passion to Profession.
