    Episode XXXIV "Friends with Benefits"

    This week on I’ve Got a Bad Feeling About This, host Chisel is joined by Jonathan Fallon and special guest Seneca for a deep dive into the weird, hilarious, and sometimes chaotic world of the toy collecting community. Episode 34, “Friends with Benefits,” isn’t about romance—it’s about the kind of friendships you build when you spend enough weekends digging through toy bins, setting up tables at conventions, and arguing over whether that loose figure is “complete enough.” The crew talks about how they first crossed paths selling toys, the toy shows that brought them together, and the strange journey of a certain show that kept moving from place to place as the community followed it. Along the way, they share stories from the trenches of the collectible world: The good – the friendships, the finds, and the thrill of the hunt.The bad – tough deals, weird buyers, and the occasional toy-show drama.The ugly – the moments that make you question your life choices while standing behind a vendor table for eight hours.From working toy stores to setting up at toy shows, the conversation jumps between behind-the-scenes stories, collector culture, and the kind of inside jokes that only make sense if you’ve ever spent way too long debating the value of a plastic figure from 1987. It’s a laid-back, laugh-filled episode packed with stories from the toy trenches, memories of how the crew met, and a reminder that sometimes the best part of the hobby isn’t the toys—it’s the people you meet along the way.

    Big Mac Attack

    Episode 33 cranks the hyperdrive straight into drama as Chisel and the Millennium Fallen dive headfirst into yet another legendary rant from the one they call the quote-unquote Big Mac — the self-proclaimed king (and chief exec energy) behind the ICC. If you follow the toy-show circuit, you already know the name… and you probably know the vibe that’s coming. The guys break down a fiery tirade about why certain celebrities allegedly can’t appear at his events while somehow popping up at other toy shows without a problem. Is it politics? Ego? Behind-the-scenes contracts? Miscommunication? Chisel and Fallen pick through the claims, the tone, and the fan reactions — all with their usual mix of sarcasm, side-eye, and collector-culture insight. Expect plenty of commentary, strong opinions, and a few “wait… did he really just say that?” moments along the way. But this episode isn’t just about one rant — it’s about pulling back the curtain on the messy, complicated side of fandom collecting: the rivalries, the rumors, the business drama, and the weird power struggles that most fans only hear whispers about. Whether you’re deep in the toy-show scene or just love a good fandom meltdown story, this one promises plenty to chew on. If you like your collector talk spicy, your industry gossip dissected, and your Star Wars-flavored sarcasm dialed up to eleven, Episode 33 — “Big Mac Attack” — is ready to drag you to the dark side… and maybe make you laugh while you’re there

    Ross Con Rebellion

    Episode 30: “Ross Con Rebellion” finds Chizzle and the Millennium Fallen diving headfirst into the strange, frustrating, and sometimes hilarious world of Star Wars figure hunting at discount retailers. From surprise Vintage Collection and Black Series finds to collectors stumbling across figures they never saw at full retail, the hosts break down how Ross Dress for Less and similar stores became an unexpected hotspot for Star Wars collectors — and why the phenomenon has earned the nickname “RossCon.” The conversation pulls back the curtain on the behind-the-scenes workings of retail distribution, explaining how unsold, canceled, or redirected inventory can end up in off-price stores long after collectors gave up hope. Chizzle and Fallen also tackle the topic of retail arbitrage, exploring how some collectors score deals for their own shelves while others flip discounted figures for profit, fueling both excitement and resentment within the hobby. Rounding out the episode is a candid discussion about Hasbro’s handling of The Vintage Collection, the ongoing frustrations with availability at major retailers, and the feeling of “TVC denial” many collectors experience when figures seem to vanish at full price only to resurface later at a discount. With plenty of humor, collector empathy, and a few well-placed rants, “Ross Con Rebellion” captures the chaos of modern Star Wars collecting — where the Force may be strong, but the clearance aisle is stronger.
