About

Raised on the best toys, cartoons, video games, heavy metal, and horror.

Collect & Destroy is dedicated to the mission of never growing up. Every day is an adventure, traveling the world in search of the coolest new and vintage pop culture treasures, toys, comics, movies, music, and so much more!

Collect & Destroy officially launched in 2019, but this journey really started decades prior as I (Baxter) traveled the globe, playing in hardcore bands, releasing records, designing merch, and collecting everything from action figures to screenprints, vinyl records to lunchboxes, VHS, wax packs, and designer toys.

As a music obsessed, film watching, pop culture enthusiast, with a professional background in retail marketing and design, Collect & Destroy has become the creative vortex where all of my worlds collide!

Collect & Destroy is more than a website, podcast or online shop. It’s a state of mind, a family of collectors, musicians, artists, and monster loving maniacs! Whether it’s discussing the definitive Top 5 albums by our favorite metal bands, debating the greatest horror franchises of all-time, or simply catching up on all the latest and greatest toy releases… it’s all a day in the life at Collect & Destroy!
