30 Years Hunting The World's Weirdest Toys!

30 Years Hunting The World's Weirdest Toys!    / @mattwaltonchannel   What does a lifetime spent hunting toys, movie memorabilia, collectibles, comics, action figures, and pop culture treasures actually look like? At the Short Circuit 40th Anniversary Convention in Astoria, Oregon, we met someone who might have the answer. His name is Billy Galaxy, owner of one of the most unique vintage toy stores in America. What started as a quick stop at a vendor booth turned into one of the most fascinating conversations we've ever had at a toy convention. Billy has spent more than 30 years buying collections, traveling the world, searching for rare collectibles, importing vintage toys, and tracking down pieces of pop culture history that most collectors have never even seen before. From rare Japanese movie memorabilia and theater exclusives to vintage Godzilla collectibles, Star Wars grails, G.I. Joe treasures, imported toys from Australia and New Zealand, and even ALF jeans discovered underneath a table in Germany, every item seemed to come with a story. One of the things that immediately stood out was Billy's passion for Japanese collectibles. During our conversation, he showed us original Japanese movie tickets, theater promotional items, movie programs, Ghostbusters memorabilia, Goonies collectibles, and rare Short Circuit pieces that were only available overseas. These weren't reproductions or modern collectibles. These were authentic pieces of movie history that survived for decades. As collectors ourselves, we thought we had seen a lot. We were wrong. The deeper we dug into Billy's booth, the more unusual the stories became. One minute we were talking about Star Wars collecting and rare Rocket Firing Fett collectibles. The next we were discussing vintage Japanese Godzilla figures, obscure kaiju history, and collectible footprints that few toy collectors have ever heard of. That's what made this conversation so memorable. Billy isn't just a toy dealer. He's a historian. He's a collector. He's a storyteller. And after three decades of buying, selling, traveling, and hunting for rare collectibles, he has accumulated knowledge that simply can't be learned from a price guide.
