Meet Donna and Nick Echols, the wonderful duo behind Dadzilla Nation! This family-run booth has a unique history rooted in both family and fandom. The nickname “Dadzilla” was born when their kids started joking that if their toys ever went missing, it was because Nick had “sold them on eBay.” With a household filled with Godzilla figures and a sense of humor, they officially changed their eBay store name to honor the family’s playful spirit.
Donna and Nick have been avid collectors for over 30 years, gathering unique and hard-to-find retro and vintage toys and video games long before it was cool. About a decade ago, they dove into the world of retro gaming, connecting with fellow enthusiasts at conventions and eventually joining forces with Game Central Station. Their journey led them to Charlies Collectible Show, where they instantly felt at home with the warm community and enthusiastic visitors. Now, they’re proud to be permanent vendors, bringing their curated selection of action figures, vintage video games, and classic Legos to CCS fans.
Dadzilla Nation is more than just a shop — it’s a nostalgic journey down memory lane, filled with treasures that spark memories and joy. Donna and Nick are passionate about helping others relive their childhood through their carefully chosen items and friendly prices. Stop by, say hello, and let Donna and Nick help you find the perfect piece of nostalgia to take home! 🧸
