Eternia Dreams' Ohio Toy Show Adventure: Vintage Toy Bonanza and Big Plans Ahead!
Welcome to Eternia Dreams, the ultimate destination for toy enthusiasts and collectors! Join Allan and Nicky on their latest adventure at the Ohio Toy Show Super Toys Event, where they brought an awe-inspiring toy booth packed with nostalgic treasures. In this episode, they showcase an extensive collection of vintage toys, ranging from iconic He-Man and The Masters of the Universe figures, G.I. Joes, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a Grayskull Playset, Wrestling Action Figures, Simpsons toys, and so much more!
Despite the impressive display, Allan reveals that this Ohio Toy Show was one of their toughest yet, financially speaking, with only $500 in sales. However, the silver lining lies in the incredible people they met and the numerous new subscribers who joined the Eternia Dreams family. Allan and Nicky express their gratitude to the community for the continuous support.
In a surprising turn of events, Allan spills the beans about a massive toy trade he's eagerly pursuing - a colossal collection of G.I. Joes. Never before has Eternia Dreams encountered such a vast assortment, and Allan provides a sneak peek into some gems like Starduster and Mickey Cobra from this extraordinary find. Dive deep into the world of G.I. Joe action figures as Allan discusses the history, rarity, and significance of these beloved toys.
The conversation doesn't stop there - Allan delves into the lore of Masters of the Universe toys and the timeless appeal of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures. Share in the excitement as they reminisce about the golden era of action figures and the impact these iconic toys have had on pop culture.
Looking ahead, Allan and Nicky reveal their anticipation for the upcoming Retro-Toy Con in South Carolina. Despite the challenges faced at the Ohio Toy Show, they are optimistic about the opportunities and connections awaiting them at this renowned event. Get ready for another weekend filled with vintage toy magic, exclusive finds, and the chance to meet fellow collectors and fans.

Who likes our booth set up?
The best
Pa-da-pa-pa-paaa… I’m lovin’ it!
Eternally Dreamy!👍
I love your guys booth set up.
Nice set up.
A really good seller is someone that brings item's that are actually going to sell and not put on display as a museum....secondly , wheel and deal .Some toy nerds are so damn stuck on the price they marked on an item . I used to set up at shows many years ago ... I always had a great time and sold most of my stuff...
As you see in several of our videos we keep our prices competitive and under the competition !
Would’ve liked a preview of what you setup in the booth mixed with the stories.
im not even a motu fan but that castle is so sick lol
Isn’t it!?
Hey, I saw you guys at Retro in SC. Ended up buying the vintage Kenner Y-Wing & Imperial Shuttle from you (I was the guy who didn't want the box lol). You guys were incredibly fair and super friendly & knowledgeable. So glad I found your channel! New sub.
Oh yea! We remember! Thanks for subscribing!
Wish this store was close to me..❤❤
Hello from the UK! Thanks for adding the video these shows look like great fun! I hope you got the Joe collection, it looked amazing!
Eternia Dream Booths at shows always look amazing
Nah!
They sure do! I remember the first one I saw at PowerCon 2022!
😂you guys are awesome! Starting to love these episodes 🙌🏽🙌🏽
So glad to hear that!
I know here in the UK the cost of living crisis and recession is hitting peeps hard. Is it the same over the US?
Your booth set ups are alway great!
Thank you!
It’s that time of the week. Lets goooo!
We've gone!
Makes me want to open a booth at a show!👍👍
Heck yea!
Saw you guys there! 👋
Heck yea!
Oh man, The South Dakota trip, I think I may have been on the evening news if it were me.. 😵💫😵💫 Great Show as always! I always look forward to watchin the Sunday Shows!
Had to keep calm
Man that was a good shot!
Pro level.
Excellent video. Great energy. Exciting to see you all expand your national brand besides hobby enthusiasts and to people like myself that will make a pilgrimage to your store and buy something because you both are so entertaining, educating, and passionate. It is the Pawn Stars and American Pickers effect. Visited both retail stores and spent good money after becoming fans of the authentic people running their own businesses.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate that.
Can't wait to see that joe collection
It’s coming!
6:54 Jeez, who's collection is that? Mark Bellomo's?
Hahaha
Definitely an awesome setup. It hard to get people to buy if they just window shopping. It hard to justify the show when it doesn't make much also
We like the show though. Just an off year. Next week you get to see our favorite show!
@@eterniadreams did look like a good show
Between Customers, have a Lego Set to work on, or even MOTU MegaConstrux.
That’s a great idea!
@@eterniadreams Glad I could help. I plan to do something similar at our local Toy Convention in June.
I would like stuff like this to happen closer to my area, I really enjoy looking at all the neat toys and collectables but in the current economy and the price of gas its got to be tough to be a vendor I know if I went to a show I would only be able to spend about $200 at most because the day trip alone with gas and food would be about $200 I could save some money by going alone but its more fun to take the wife and the extra hands are helpful too
0:15. Man, I'd be like,: That's ok. I get that you don't wanna sell, but I'm gonna take your stuff with me. Now open up before I go Big Bad wolf on your door."
Hmmm
Booth is neat, shame the show wasn't buzz, but the Bee was cool 😎
He’s always great!
zGREAT 👀ING TOY'S!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! GREAT LUCK ON EVERYTHING!!!❤😂👍🙏
Ole bumble bee
Love you guys, I've been selling toys for over 25 years and I can't move carded stuff at all. I've got vintage piles if stuff. I do the big shows like kane County and Xenia but people seem to be more about video games, loose figures and they just don't have funds for stuff anymore. I feel your pain bro. I'm known as mad hatter toys
Could be that people have no space for more “carded stuff”. After all, it doesn’t do anything. Just sits there.
It’s a tough market for sure.
Why isnt there anything like this in Texas?? EVERYTHING that I watch and love: Toys, Retro Movie Drive-Ins, Horror Conventions, Podcasts... its all located in the mid-west/northeast. You guys would kill in the southern states, especially Texas: Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth. C'mon, WE WANNA BUY ALL THIS SHIT!! NOBODY IS DOING THIS DOWN HERE
We sell online. Dallas Vintage Toy Store is in Dallas.
It’s nice that you could turn that disappointing South Dakota experience into a win.
Yes it was
I think its the economy modt of the vendors at the last chicago toy show were complaining
It looks good to me. MCCORDS TOYS DALLAS TX.
?
I was saying that your Booth looks good.
Ah. Thanks!
I have a signed Jimmy Hart the new Mattel Legends figure. I had gotten it signed by him yesterday if your interested in buying.
Reach out to us via Facebook
I like the people who run the show and the customers are nice but this show was my worst of any i think i did $460
Oh wow! Really?
Talking about Thanksgiving? Damn this is an old vid
Yes. We always have 3 months worth of content. This is pretty standard. 👍🏽
Not to be rude...but what you should be doing is watching your booth so shit doesn't get stolen (And yes, I'm a dealer in collectibles). And yes, as a dealer, even I get tired of watching the booth....especially when no one is in the booth. A good show is where someone is coming into the booth constantly.....and buying.
We are watching the booth.
Nobody wants to oay vintage prices when they can go to Ross or Ollies and get stuff for under $10...
Agree, the market is changing. It seems like it's all showing up at outlets lately. I even laugh at target retail prices.
Yep, that’s why we focus on vintage and not the new stuff.
Agree and disagree. For parents buying toys for their children, sure, go for the discounted retail on newer toys. But there's still a HUGE market for vintage collectibles. These pieces are rare, in obviously limited quantities, and hold a lot of nostalgic and collectible value for adult collectors. Big thanks to people like Eternia Dreams, Toy Federation, and others for curating and appreciating these special pieces of our childhoods!
@@thedisposables5885Great comment and spot on
