I've also seen episodes where he either flat-out lied or made huge errors about the history/rarity/value of certain items. I swear it was done just for the sake of the show to build drama.



I don't think that's him. The guy we're talking about has a show on the Travel Channel called "Toy Hunter". See below:

Toy Hunter : TV Shows : Travel Channel

When he went to Wonkos in Austin and found Kiss toys in the back room like that is really a thing there. Wonkos USED to be cool but the guy sold it to someone else and they moved the location. Now they just have leftover stock from the last store sitting in windows being sun bleached! They are more into RPG games, I go there every once and a while and regret it every time. The stink of B.O. and desperation hang heavy in the air. Too bad. But yeah, that place does not have anything worth while, just somewhere for the Toy hunter to find something Gene Simmons already had.
I still watch the show though, just to see some of the toys he finds and wonder where all of these flea markets and weekend sales are.
