“Some folks may think we are sales only, but we are always interested in buying toy collections, especially Kenner stuff due to the Cincinnati connection,” Sawyer said.
The Toy Department will offer a wide range of collectible toys made over the last 50 years, including Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Transformers, Care Bears, superhero toys and Funko Pop merchandise.
