    Time Blaster Toy Cast has been a huge inspiration for me. Hearing so many collectors’ stories, perspectives, and passions has really highlighted why this hobby means so much—and why it’s more than just “toys.”

    After making a recent career move, I’ve finally been able to focus on this hobby in a real way, and it genuinely makes me so frickin’ excited and happy. I’ve started going through my childhood toys, reconnecting with that nostalgia, and even launched an Instagram page @supertommystoys to ... more

  • A pleasure each week

    Greetings from Canada! The guys at Time Blaster Toycast are one of my favourite listens each week. I first found them through my shared love of WWF hasbros but have stuck around to learn about so many other fun toy lines from when I was a kid. I started a Mortal Kombat GI Joe collection before I knew it and haven’t looked back. Keep up the awesome work and hope to stop by the shop one day.
