“Xenia was INSANE…changed my perspective on the toy market.” That text message from a fellow collector was the impetus for this episode. How did a show with 500 vendors, 700 tables of vintage and modern toys and with record attendance numbers of 10,000 visitors change a collector's perspective on our hobby? What made another longtime collector boldly claim: "The best toy show I've ever attended. Period." What were some of the rare prototypes and production pieces our fellow Star Wars collectors purchased at Xenia? And what was the show really like? Join host David Quinn for a series of conversations with the Star Wars collectors and toy dealers who attended and vended. Learn about the trends and insight gathered from the show, and why Xenia has become one of the most popular shows in the country!

If the expense of returning to in-person toy trade shows has you a little worried, then there's a year-round toy trade show platform that you need to know about. In today's episode we take a behind the scenes look at Toy Fair Everywhere, a year-round, 24/7 virtual trade show that is changing the way the toy entrepreneurs and buyers connect and do business. The platform functions as a product discovery tool for buyers and a wholesale ecommerce site for sellers. You can make, nurture, and grow new connections inside the platform, and make your entire product catalog available to only those who you are serious vetted buyers. What once started as a virtual stand in for New York toy fair during the height of the COVI-19 pandemic, is now a mainstay in the toy industry. This tool will allow you to continue conversations that may start at in-person events, and turn leads into sales. Listen in to today's episode to learn exactly how this platform works and why it may be ideal for your toy business.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:For the links and resources mentioned in this episode, head over to the episode page at www.thetoycoach.com/77

The Chinese toy market is on the rise! With an average annual growth rate of almost 20% and the implementation of the two-child policy many in the industry are looking to develop hit toys for the over 236 million children under age 14 on the mainland. Today I interview China market expert Kirsten Ytterbo to discuss the opportunities and challenges of selling to China. Previously she spent almost 5 years in Shanghai and Hong Kong as a Merchandising Manager for Toys R Us and she is the former Senior VP of King Bee Toys. She has immersed herself in the culture and has some great advice to share! Listen in as we discuss what brands resonate with the Chinese market and what cultural faux pas to avoid. In contrast to the US adult collector market why is the China market comprised almost entirely of purchases for children? Learn why top brands in China are splitting into 2 pricing tiers. We also discuss the impact of Tmall.com and online shopping in China. Listen, learn and enjoy the show!
