00:00Being a collector, you become a person that takes care of parts of history that without
00:10you would have been forgotten.
00:12That's a big responsibility.
00:16I have around 9,000 to 10,000 items, probably a little bit more or less somewhere in there.
00:30Hi, I'm Walter, and I'm a Wizard of Oz fan and collector and all-out historian of the
00:39American classic tale about Dorothy and her friends.
00:45At the age of three, I grew up in the era of the 50th anniversary, so a lot of people
00:51who grew up in the late 80s will remember that the 50th anniversary had rolled around,
00:57and so you couldn't go into a toy store without seeing Dorothy and her friends.
01:05My favorite character in The Wizard of Oz would have to be Dorothy, obviously.
01:09It is her dream.
01:10It is her journey that we are going on.
01:14The people she meets along the way are very familiar.
01:25My future plans with my collection is that someday I want to open a museum.
01:30I know that America's fairy tale needs to be seen.
