Jordan is hitting the road with assistant Julia for her first ever toy dig in, what better place than, America's Playground: Las Vegas. He is on the hunt to find vintage, Buck Rogers action figures for a star of the show, Felix Silla. Jordan also has Julia set up digs for him while in Vegas in order to add new toys to his inventory. Julia has been working for Jordan for over a year now and is making it clear that she's ready to take on more than just the office. What better way to initiate a first timer, than by heading to Viva Las Vegas! Although they are in a party town, Jordan makes it clear to Julia that it wont be all fun and games. The first collector the duo visits, Dorothy, specializes in '80s toys. Her garage is filled with boxes holding her toy collection. Dorothy has a plethora of girl toys from the '80s and Jordan hopes that he has hit a jackpot. Without a pause, Jordan offers to buy a Rainbow Bright tea set for 25 bucks. "Miss Vegas" gives Jordan a run for his money when they roll the dice for an LJN Michael Jackson doll - which Jordan moonwalks away with for an easy 30 bucks. The big find is a stunning set of Mattel's Princess of Power collection which Jordan swiftly picks up for $465. The next stop on the Vegas voyage is to "Dan-Mart." Dan's garage-turned-toy store puts Jordan in toy heaven - until Dan breaks the news that he's only looking to sell a few items. This gets Jordan worried that Julia set him up for a dig that won't turn much of a profit. Jordan purchases some C-3PO's cereal for a mere 15 bucks and drives away with an Indiana Jones Convoy truck for $90. He then digs up a set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cave Turtles, which after a tough haggle - he finally takes away for $250. For their final dig, Jordan and Julia head over to Movie Mike, who is a movie prop designer with a second passion for science fiction toys. Jordan comes across a Nightmare on Elm Street Freddy Krueger glove replica, and accepts the $200 asking price without hesitation. Jordan then makes a $75 deal for Mattel's computer Warriors game, and becomes the owner of a full set of Black Hole action figures for $310. When Jordan comes across a full set of Buck Rogers action figures, he makes a deal for the five of them for 60 bucks Before they leave, Julia has Jordan meet up with the mystery Buck Roger's buyer in the middle of the desert. When the limo pulls up, it's Twiki himself, Felix Silla who offers Jordan 800 dollars for the set. Though this trip was expensive, Jordan and Julia acquired toys that more than cover the cost, while satisfying a member of TV history.
KISS n' Tell
Jordan is extremely motivated to find the best KISS memorabilia after he gets a surprise call from rock legend, Gene Simmons. If he passes this challenge, he could advance his career by adding a high profile client like Gene. Steve and Jordan head to the first dig- The Wayne Toy fair in New Jersey. After Jordan finds other vintage items like a Vespa scooter for $1000, a Planet of the Apes Action Stallion, and a Gomer Pyle lunchbox, he scores a pack of KISS underwear. Then Jordan comes across a rare KISS view master that is initially scooped up by a competitor. After haggling with his competitor, Jordan wins the item and feels confident that Gene will be impressed with his new buy. Jordan and Steve leave the flea and get a call from Julia on a new lead. They head to Long Island house of Victoria, an avid rock memorabilia collector. Steve purchases some Where The Wild Things Are action figures, and Jordan gets vintage Michael Jackson pins. Luckily, he uncovers a radio-controlled KISS van that he convinces Victoria to sell to him for a whopping $1100. Confident that he has plenty of rare KISS items, Jordan heads to Los Angeles. Gene Simmons is not impressed by Jordan's first two finds. But it's the radio-controlled van that has Gene's full attention. Will this be enough to pull in this Rock God as a permanent client, a chance of a lifetime?
Battle for Seattle
Jordan is in California to stock up his inventory before he heads to Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle. His goal is to sell $15,000 worth of merchandise, and with $3,000 already spent on convention costs - he only has a budget of $5,000 left to spend at his digs. Jordan's first stop is toy collector Steve, who is said to have a one hundred thousand dollar collection. Jordan's hopes are quickly crushed when he finds toy rival Mark just leaving Steve's house with boxes and boxes of toys - including a rare Mego Star Trek enterprise set. Jordan is in toy heaven when he first lays eyes on Steve's stash. After numerous offers on multiple toys, he realizes that Mark already bought most of the toys Steve was willing to part with. Steve then reveals he has an entire garage full of doubles that he wants to sell - and more importantly, that Mark didn't see. Jordan pulls away with an Over The Top Sylvester Stallone Arm Wrestling Game for $45 and a lot of Spawn action figures for $75. Jordan sees that Steve really doesn't want to get rid of many toys so he leaves and heads to the next dig. Victor recently took all of his toys out of storage after nearly 40 years and has no idea what the toys are worth now. Jordan happily scoops up a bundle of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle action figures for $300, a pair of Jurassic Park dinosaurs for $175, and a pair of Star Trek Don Post masks for $300. Although Victor's stash gives Jordan a little boost in inventory, it's time for him to pull out all the reigns and he calls up a secret weapon. Jordan flies to Miami, FL to meet up with Jose who has worked on some of the most popular toy lines in the eighties. Jose doesn't fail to bring the heat and Jordan splurges on a Thundercats Lion-O and Mumm-Ra for $1800, which could potentially make him double that amount at Comic Con. Jordan makes it to Seattle and the battle begins. Mark bets that Jordan wont be able to sell the Thundercats toys he recently purchased and that he can make more sales. Jordan starts to hustle and quickly, the Jurassic Park set and a Star Trek Mask fly off the shelves for almost $600. But it's the Thundercats set that Jordan really needs to sell that will give him the boost to beat Mark in sales. After a lot of failed attempts at selling the duo, a courageous buyer makes a $3500 deal that puts Jordan ahead in numbers and pride. His profit is over $20,000 and the battle for Seattle is won.

Buying 4 Bonaduce
Jordan is at Seattle Comicon where 70's child star, Danny Bonaduce has just stopped by his booth. Danny explains that he never collected The Partridge Family memorabilia and wants Jordan's help in tracking down a vintage Partridge Family board game. If he can find this game, Danny wants Jordan to join him on his radio show and sell the toys he got him, live. Jordan and Steve visit their first dig, Jason, who is said to have a huge 80's collection. They come across a lot of superheroes and Sci-Fi toys, but can't seem to find Partridge Family. He grabs a bag of Batman Chips for $8, and a Ms. Pac Man table-top video game with stuffed animal for $40. Jordan also races away with the Hasbro Ricochet Racers Spider Man set for $100. Jordan and Steve pack up the car and head to the next toy collector's house, where they hope to find some Partridge Family toys fast. Along with a Star Wars Episode I trailer reel, Jordan also snags a Partridge Family Laurie doll for $180 and a rare Partridge Family bus for $750. It's the Milton Bradley board game that gets Jordan really excited because he's almost 100% positive it's the one Danny is looking for. He grabs all his new treasures and heads to one last dig to find a few more toys to help seal in Bonaduce as a new customer. Josh owns a toy store called Time Bomb and has some great vintage treasures. Jordan grabs a $35 The Fonz pillow, and a Partridge Family lunchbox for $150. He also digs up a vintage Unicycle and remembers seeing a photo of Danny riding one on the set of The Partridge Family. Jordan buys it for $60 in hopes of impressing Bonaduce and his listeners. He heads to the radio show and starts showing off the goods he's just purchased. Danny immediately buys the board game for $20, and immediately rejects the $1200 Partridge Family bus that Jordan really took a chance with. Jordan then gives Danny the vintage Unicycle as a gift and Bonaduce is in bliss. Jordan proves he can really think outside the box and has another star client for life.

He needs to meet his sales goal of $20,000 in order to purchase a stash in Louisiana that he's been dying to get his hands on. The only problem is that the owner will only sell it to Jordan in one lump sum so he needs to make a big profit in Chicago in order to afford it. On his way to the first dig, Jordan picks up aspiring toy dealer Travis to show him the ropes of the toy business. Travis mentions that he wants to go to C2E2 because he's never worked a toy convention before. Jordan tells him that if he does a good job on the next few digs, then he can help out Jordan in Chicago. En route to their first dig, Jordan and Travis spot a yard sale and decide to check it out.

Their next stop is to visit another toy dealer Steve, who is trying to sell off the remainder of toys in storage. As a fellow dealer, Steve knows the values of these toys very well so Jordan will need to really hustle in order to get some good deals. He scores a Hot Wheels Service Center for $75 and a Remco McDonaldland playset for $175. Travis finds a super rare carded Star Wars Boba Fett Droids figure that Jordan needs for his booth.

Rob takes Travis and Jordan into the GI Joe annex where they find the GI Joe USS Flagg Aircraft Carrier; the largest toy ever made! They buy it unsealed for $4000 and are ready to head to C2E2. At the convention, Jordan sells the Alvin & The Chipmunks van for $275 while Travis makes $275 sale himself on the Transformers Jetfire.
