Who Watched the premier of Toy Hunter on Travel Channel?

Yesterday was the season premier of Toy Hunter on Travel Channel and I am looking for feedback on show.

For those who are not familiar with Toy Hunter – it stars extraordinaire Jordan Hembrough (@jordanhembrough )

owner of Hollywood Heroes in Ridgewood, NJ, who travels the US looking for rare and highly collectible toys.

Here is an excerpt taken from the Travel Channel page:

“In this season of the Travel Channel’s Toy Hunter, Jordan finds the picks of a lifetime for struggling business owners, annual toy events and even a few celebrity collectors. He’s out of his comfort zone, so he has to set his search into high gear. The stakes are higher, the haggles are tougher and the payoffs are much greater than before, because he’s hunting for more than just himself — this time, people’s livelihoods are on the line if he doesn’t deliver! It’s a high stakes toy game with demanding players that could potentially set him up for life!

Will Jordan be able to track down the ultimate find that he needs? Will he be able to stand up to all the hype that is buzzing about him now?

Find out on Travel Channel’s new series, Toy Hunter, which premieres on Wednesday, August 15 at 10|9c.”

I was able to score a press release kit and had a chance to watch the first episode a few weeks before the show aired. It was interesting to see how the final show aired compared to the first take.

I enjoyed the show and plan on watching the rest of the season. I have spoken to Jordan before and he is a stand up guy who is very into collectibles. I am really anxious to see what if he finds a few holy grails – if anyone out there is a collector, they will know exactly what a holy grail is and have one of their own. I will try to schedule an interview with Jordan in a few weeks.

What did you think of the show? What did you like/dislike?

Here is a video taken from Comic Con that fits perfectly:
