    This is full vibes of watching Anthony go to a toy shop and buying a basket full of his favorite sealed 80s/90s toys.
    This is all of us back when we were kids with our birthday money going wild at Toys R Us.

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing, if only.....I worked for Toltoys in the 70's and 80's and we imported toys into Australia for wholesalers/retailers. Kenner being one of the major companies we dealt with. Seeing all those Star Wars brings back so many wonderful memories. Imagine if i had kept one of everything but it never even crossed my mind to think of them as an investment. 💰💰💰

    Crown Point Toys & Collectibles is a GREAT store, I'm in Chicago so I trek out to Crown Point when I can to stop by this store, which unfortunately isn't often enough. But every time I've shopped there I've found some great stuff and they have overall some extremely reasonable prices. Plus there's a bunch of other cool stores as well as restaurants and breweries within walking distance or a very short drive so it makes for a fun day trip. I'm hoping to stop through there next week actually! Enjoyed the video, cheers!

    Makes you wonder how rare some of this stuff is when it seems like there’s so many out there sealed. I think in the 90's people started to preserve the toys more than open them unlike in the 70's and 80's. Still very cool to see all these. Seems like this stuff is all in the midwest unlike the two coasts. Anyhow, I wish Elliott went on the trip. Love that kid! He’s so intelligent like his father and mother!

    • @lanceknightmare
      @lanceknightmare Год назад

      That was the same era I used to play with action figures. I would come up with the most basic plots in my head. The action figures would eventually end up battling each other. Those turtle figures which have the white circular joints are really good. If an arm falls off you can just put it back on. The plastic pin joints on the other hand like with the Power Rangers in Space figures . Once an arm or a leg falls off it is off unfortunately. My all time favorite figures were the Batman and Robin era figures. Even though they did not have the ball joints, these figurines were made very durable. All of the small accessories like swords and plastic suits were pretty cool as well.
