Re: New business name for collectables store! HELP!

How about:

Down Under Collectibles

or just

THE STORE

(I'm sorry, it's getting late over here, maybe I have some better suggestions tomorrow... :))
 
Re: New business name for collectables store! HELP!

i still love whoever said "get to da choppa collectibles" - but it's way out there...
 
Re: New business name for collectables store! HELP!

Whatever name you take be sure to include the word 'figure' in it. Like 'Figures Down Under' or something like that. Easier to Google when anyone's searching for 1/6 figures.
By the way, is it possible for you to move up to Brisbane to start your project?, then it will be easier for me to buy all this stuff.:D
 
Re: New business name for collectables store! HELP!

There's three that I know of:

Card Mania
111 Ryrie Street, Geelong
https://www.cardmania.com.au/default.htm or their online order website https://www.popcultcha.com.au/

Just Collectables
212 Chapel St, Prahran
https://www.justcollectables.com.au/

Minotaur Entertainment
121 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne
https://www.minotaur.com.au/


In my opinion, Popcultcha is very good; they have pretty much everything you see at Ikon's site (they are the wholesalers of Sideshow & others in Aus): https://www.ikoncollectables.com.au/index.php

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the info, man! Yeah, Popcultcha are great. I buy most of my stuff from there. I'll have to check out the other two stores. Thanks again!

Re: New business name for collectables store! HELP!

personally, i would want to appeal to the culture of the business... the sense of "etiquette" collectors have... appealing to the masses is easy, but the social behavior and conventional norms of the hardcore collector can be demanding...

to reflect this, i would call it COLLECTIQUETTE
 
Re: New business name for collectables store! HELP!

Good luck with the business ChaserFan!

My suggestions:

TOY MASTER
HOBBY AUSTRALIA or HOBBY NATION
COLLECTIBLES4U
FIGURE SOURCE
PLAYTHING
TOY WITH ME
COLLECTORS EDGE - just a pun on Leading Edge franchise with that one lol

..hope these give you some ideas :)
 
Re: New business name for collectables store! HELP!

Hey guys. First time I've gotten around to posting...

Name suggestion: A Fistful of Dolls

For A Few Dolls More?

hah

Btw, Just Collectables has closed down :( it's now some fashion store (needed another of THOSE on chapel street) with a few figures left in there...nice touch I guess. It was taken over by some new owners some time ago and they really...didn't seem to know what they were doing, or talking about...They stopped getting a lot of good stuff that would always have been a given with the previous owners, started putting cardbacked stuff on racks that damaged the packaging...could see it going downhill and now it's gone...such a shame

my brother and I are always discussing the possibility of one day opening such a store..

another great place for figures is Platos Records, in frankston. They sell a tonne of heavy metal music and tshirts but they also get a lot of figures, and they have a lot of older rarer stuff out the back I think..and occasionally get in some of the huge items, like one of the lifesize Chucky dolls etc..

You probably ARE best with a name that has 'figure' or 'figures' in it...maybe not Collectibles, cos it can be spelt either 'collectibles' or 'collectables' (I believe?) which can make it annoying for people to look you up on the net...I dunno

I also do love Get To Da Choppa Collectibles though...
