  • A Toy Distributor
    2024/12/31

    Forecasting demand for 40,000 different products, arranging for model kits to traverse the globe from Chinese factories to mom-and-pop hobby shops, and enduring random customs inspections with Alan Bass, a hobby kit and toy distributor. Why can't shops place orders directly with factories and cut out distributors? And what is it like to discover your childhood toys were actually samples given out for market research purposes?

    You can find Alan's brick-and-mortar hobby shop, AAA Hobbies and Crafts, in Magnolia, NJ. His online store is at MegaHobby.com. And his hobby kit and toy distributor business is Stevens International.
