What began as a childhood dream has grown into a community built around comics, toys, friendship, and unforgettable events.
A Childhood Dream
50Million Toys and 50Million Comics began with a childhood dream of mine. I’m Paul—better known around the community as Paul50—and I always wanted to build something around the toys and comics I loved as a kid.
I started small, selling extra toys at a local flea market. Over time, that little setup grew into retail stores, more than 13 flea-market booths, local shows, and plenty of fun events.
More Than Toys and Comics
As the years passed, the focus grew beyond buying and selling. We began hosting Comic Book Swaps, bringing collectors together to trade, sell at friend prices, discover big and small keys, and share their knowledge. Those events helped turn a group of collectors into a real community of friends.
That same spirit inspired the 50Million Comic Gauntlet: a full day when we visit comic shops throughout our area as a group, support local businesses, buy comics and toys, take photos, and have a great time together.
Join the 50Million Community
50MillionToys.com is the home base for everything we’re building. Here you can find upcoming events, learn about the Comic Book Swap and Comic Gauntlet, and connect with us on Facebook and Meetup.
Whether you’ve been collecting for decades or you’re just getting started, you’re welcome here. I can’t wait to meet you at the next event.
You're AWE50ME!
