The next few years were »ó°èµ¿Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç<br /> lean and chaotic. Nick recounts a stream of mishaps that exposed their inexperience, like making products copied from the internet.

"We'd breached all of this IP [intellectual ÀÌÃ̵¿¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç<br /> property]. We didn't know what IP was, or patents."

Products had to be pulled in favour ·¹Çø®Ä«½Å¹ß=·¹Çø®Ä«½Å¹ß<br /> of new ones and fresh ideas. Nick would sit on the phone all night, ringing retailers all over the world, searching for clients.

The Walmart bite helped, and ¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç½Ñ°÷<br /> he quickly got a "tiny" showroom up and running in Hong Kong. All he could afford, it was a far cry from typical toy showrooms - large, open spaces he later discovered were central to the industry. That room also became his part-time home as he lived between Hong Kong and mainland China.

"I used to unroll a mattress and sleep under the table," says Nick. "I'd wash at public bathrooms."
