leokimvideo | Last Thomas Toy Found Popularity Of Thomas The Tank, LEGO & Toys From 5 Years Ago Triple In Price! @leokimvideo | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Its sad when your favourite toy shop closes and has that final sale to sell off stock. Toymate Chatswood has ended a 7 year run of amazing toy retailing. I investigate what toys are sold out at a 20% price reduction. What I witnessed was almost identical to the scenes when Toys R Us closed in Australia. The top most popular brands disappear first. LEGO is easily the best seller when the price is reduced, Nerf Blasters, Barbie and My Little Pony also do well. But best of all Thomas The Tank toys are also near impossible to find.
Toymate an Australian toy retailer was founded in 2005, it rapidly expanded bringing a toy store experience that was unlike anywhere else. Against the high prices that Toys R Us were doing when Toymate opened it didn't take long for the word to get out Toymate had an incredible range of toys and collectables that were set at a very good price. There was also a 10% members discount. It's a toy store that never fails to impress and it's incredible what you will find when looking around the store or their website. When Toys R Us finally folded retail selling in Australia during 2018, Toymate did pick up on some of the old Toys R Us locations. And this suited the BIG retail experience Toymate is known for. The Chatswood Chase lower level store was a tight squeeze and the good news is this closure is more to do with relocating to a larger retail space.
I have taken a lot of photos in the Chatswood store back in 2017 and 2018, you see many in this video. And now looking back at these toys you see some really special toys that have become prized collectables that can pull huge money on eBay. It's surprising how in only a few years some toys can easily double their price online. Maybe Toys are a better investment Vs Gold.
