We all love our collectibles, but behind every piece on the shelf lies a story of how it got there.
One key piece of each collectible’s journey is the store from which it was purchased, and since 2020, Nacelle — the studio behind The Toys That Made Us and The Movies That Made Us (Netflix), Behind The Attraction (Disney+), and Icons Unearthed (Vice TV, Amazon Prime Video) has been shining a light on the brick and mortar retailers that foster community among toy collectors.
Today, The Pop Insider and The Toy Book have your exclusive first look at the trailer for A Toy Store Near You Season 6, debuting Christmas Eve on Amazon Prime Video. Check it out!
As we enter our sixth season, the show seems to be picking up momentum, which is amazing for a show that’s been on this long! From day one, It’s a dream come true to be able to help shine a spotlight on these small businesses that are so important to our communities.”
