VintageToysandVinyl
The 2026 Toy Show Season has come racing out of the gates! With already THREE Ancaster Toy Expos and a Burlington Toy Con in the bag, I've had the opportunity to sell (and buy) a lot of great stuff locally, which is my focus these days
With recent events in the US and increasing shipping rates across the country, there is no easy solution for mail order toys right now. So I have been trying to focus on the Southern Ontario Market instead. It's not that i didn't before, but I find buyers are getting increasingly frustrated with mail order woes and sellers who do not know how to grade their items. Providing collectors with a place to purchase locally seems like the best route right now, until things get better out there.
Keep an eye on my Events page where I will keep you up to date on where you can see me next. And keep in mind I will always do private showings upon request.
Anyway, for those that are visiting for the first time, Welcome. I am Jason, otherwise known as Thee Collector. I am a dealer in vintage toys and vinyl with over 30 years of experience here in Hamilton, Ontario... I also, as the name implies "collect". So not everything is about selling. A rather large part of why i have a website is for BUYING!
Unfortunately the good vintage stuff is not readily available via distributors like modern collectibles and I rely on people who are ready to sell their collections to curate my own stock for local Toy and Record shows. So If you, or someone you know, is looking to sell their vintage (or non current) toy or vinyl collection, there are many ways to reach out to me via this website, including contact info at the bottom of this page.
Currently I am looking for any toys from the 70s and 80s. The more odd or unusual, the better, however I am also always buying the more common stuff like Star Wars, Transformers, GI Joe, Shogun Warriors, Thundercats, He-man, etc...
If you REALLY want to pique my interest, I am also looking for 60s and 70s Horror toys, figures, pins, costumes, posters, Japanese robots and everything GODZILLA! I am also always in search of 45rpm records... the small 7" ones as I still DJ with those exclusively (more on that in the "About" section above.
If you're ready to sell, I have a page that lists some of the ways to make it easier for me to purchase your items. Just click on "Sell Your Stuff" at the top of the page and let's get started
And for those of you wondering where i'll pop up next selling my curated wares, I will make sure to list those upcoming shows in the "Events" page, also at the top of this page
