- Sandown Toy Fair is one of my favourite fairs of the year. It usually delivers some very nice vintage toys and this one doesn't disappoint.
Let's see what we can find, let's see who can we meet.

Hi, I'm VTR Dave. A Brit on a mission to curate a high-quality and diverse collection of vintage toys, known as the VT aRchive.
A homage to the iconic toys of the 70s & 80s to be shared with as many enthusiasts as possible, right here on this channel. And who knows, perhaps in the future, on display in a public space like a museum. Now, wouldn't that be something!
Subscribe to stay updated as I search for vintage toys, lovingly restore them, delve into their history, and piece by piece, construct the VT aRchive.
As always, thanks goes out to everyone who supports the channel. Every view, like & comment is appreciated.
Stay safe & cheers!
Awesome walk around mate ! Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks Justin, appreciate that!! 👍
Nice collection and Tie Fighter too. Thanks for the tour of the show, Dave. Cool to see M.A.S.K. there too. Star Wars General Madine is appearing often at the shows. Nice Dune cards set. Thanks.
Thanks!! Very pleased with the Tie Fighter. Seems to be plenty of MASK at recent shows but not so much Dune! So, am happy with those cards at least 👍
nice to put a name to a face, i always chat to you when i stall at the NEC, such a nice person. great channel
Ah thanks!!! 👍 Which stall do you have at the NEC and I'll make sure to say a proper hello 😎
Looks like an amazing event there, Dave! I was salivating at a few of these Star Wars and Action Force/Man bits especially the Red Shadows Hyena, which I didn't see at NEC last month! Got a big Toy fair of sorts up here this weekend, so hopefully I can scratch that itch! 😃
Hey Dario!! 🤘 Sandown one of my favourites!! Yeah, plenty of Action Force at this Sandown from mint pieces to spares and parts. Hope you have good luck at your toy fair 👍
Great video Dave! Some excellent pickups there!
Thanks!! Yeah, pleased with the selection this time - great fair! 👍
Another great video, love it😊👍
Thanks!!! 🤘
Always good to see you. Some fantastic pickups, but the Tie Fighter made my jaw drop. Wow, that looks in great condition.
Very pleased with the Tie Fighter! First vintage Star Wars piece I've picked up in a while. Great to catchup with yourself and Georgie 👍
That was a nice TIE fighter dude, great contition! Glad you had a good day and hope you had a nice kip afterwards!
Cheers Dave for a nice little look around!
Been looking for a decent Tie Fighter for ages Dave - thought about this one for a while but now glad I pulled the trigger! 👍 Tried to watch the new Ghostbusters later that evening but fell asleep LOL
Some cool grabs once again. Really liked the complete Taco Terror. Also, enjoy the pace and tone of your videos. Please keep them coming. Thank you.
Thanks for your kind words about the style of my videos 👍 I've recently been getting deeper into Food Fighters - I mistakenly thought they were from the 90s which is outside my core collecting period so didn't focus on them. Wish I hadn't taken so long to realise 😎
Love watching your Toy Hunt videos. Always something different and your pick ups were amazing. Great to see some friendly faces in the crowd! BOE with a nice pick up also!
Cheers Mike!! 🤘 Did you see the Ewoks card!! BOE & I were saying you'd like that one 👍
@@VintageToyRush I would love that Ewoks cardback, makes me want to get to the UK as soon as I can for a toy hunt.
Great event Dave!!! Few things caught my eye in the background too!!! 😜 nice pick ups as always, for a second I thought that command centre was going home with you lol.
Larvel jones moc at £35! Would’ve come home with me too lol.
Gotta try and get to a sandown at some point 👍
Hey Luke!! You need to give me a list of your current wants - I can't keep up with all your new lines LOL And yeah, you definitely need to visit Sandown. You can stay at mine and we travel in together! 👍
Another great toy fair video Dave, always enjoy these. Some great pickups. I think I would open the Universal Monsters, would be excited to see them and their coffins and other features 😂 as they look great fun. That said, I have a bunch of Reaction Universal Monsters still on card 🤦. I’m also intrigued by those two Neanderthals on your desk in the video…who on earth are they? 😂
Thanks Scott!! 👍 So far, no one has said to keep them sealed 😎 Now, those two figures on the desk, good spot!! The one with the gold armour is from Action Man - he's called The Intruder. He's often hated by collectors, but I think he's great. It turns out, Palitoy borrowed the figure the Super GI Joe line where it originally had Silver armour, a different hair colour and no beard!!! I recently added the Silver one to the collection 🤘
General Madine continues to stalk your every move 😂 great video Dave
You can't reason with him, and he absolutely will not stop until Dave buys him
Ha ha - he's relentless!!! 😹
I will not give in and buy him... ever!!! 😎
That electro man is such a classic VTR Dave item I love it. I was walking around seeing so many things that I thought belonged on your channel 😂 Great pick up with the white tie fighter too, I saw that, it was a really nice condition one.
Great to finally meet you Dave and thanks for letting me get a pic with you, an absolute gent 👍🏼
Hey Kev!! It was great to meet you and your now in the collectors album 👍 Oh yes, Electro man is pure VTR!! I thought long about the Tie Fighter but really glad I pulled the trigger on that one. Hope you picked up some goodies! 🤘
thank you so much I have messaged both so hopefully they still have it so I can get it
good luck!! 👍
Was nice meeting you yesterday and thanks for featuring my stall on this video. Very much appreciated.
Great to meet you too! I like to feature dealers in the videos - helps both yourself and buyers who may not have been there 👍
Love your channel and love your content brother. Keep up the good work!
Ah thanks!! Really appreciate that 🤘
So much cool toys out there. Love what I see. Great haul 👍
Thanks Chris!! 👍 I think you'd love Sandown!
Just fantastic pickups mate
Thanks Brian! Sandown is always good to me 👍
Nice work Dave, some awesome pick-ups as always! I highly recommend setting the Burger King Universal Monsters free, they're inexpensive and they display great outside their plastic prisons!😆
Cheers Scott!! 🤘 Perhaps I'll have to let them free, but I just find it difficult knowing they've been bagged for probably 30 years 😎
Excellent stuff Dave, plenty to feast the eyes on and nice pickups too. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers Jeff!! 👍 Funny how you can always find something you've never heard of before!!
Fantastic video!!! Some incredible peices. Lose Graded Laser light He Man...and Skeletor!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩And seeing my mates stall! Michael Bates of Raiders of the loft toys! 😉👍
Thanks Andrew!! Oh yeah, Michael had some great items - I was very tempted by the Knight Rider on his stall 👍
Another super episode VTR, awesome pick ups. The white TIE fighter looks brand new!
Glad you had a great day
Hey Dez!! 👍 Had a great day, relaxing while browsing and buying - it had been a full-on week. Love the Tie Fighter, glad I pulled the trigger as I was having difficult deciding LOL
Great pickups Dave! Nice to watch the goings on as I was unable to make it. I’m happy you made it through the Jet lag! I would have needed several strong coffees 😂. Hope to see you at the next one.
Thanks!!! 🤘 Damn that jet lag! I was looking forward to watching the new Ghostbusters film in the evening but fell asleep half way through 😎 Would be good to see you at the next one 👍
Awesome vid as per usual.
Some great pick ups too.
I must make the journey to Sandown one day.
Thanks! 👍 If you're in Cornwall, that's a long journey but definitely worth a visit. There's the Shepton Mallet and Exeter (I think) fairs that are a little closer!
@@VintageToyRush yes I am.Ive been to them.I also did the NEC this year.So I'm willing to travel.
Keep up the good work.
Man there was a great mix of stuff there! Gutted we couldn’t make it for this one. Good few of the gang there too! We will have to hope we can get to the next.
Great video as always Dave!! Lovely pickups too!
Hope you can make the next one! Definitely one of my favourite fairs during the year. Will you be attending Echo? Really pleased the pickups, especially Electroman, that one is right up my street 👋
@@VintageToyRush I’m sure we will be returning to Echo in October, yes! 👍🏻👍🏻
See you there?
@@ALandLTA-Adam yes, I aim to be there in Oct 👍
Great video and pick ups
Thanks Kezz! 🤘
3:18 I have that Frankenstein Monster game from the 70s, I had it as a kid and had to get it back in my collection so my kids and I could play the game just like I did as a kid. 💪😎
That's awesome!! I loved the box, never played it though. Did your kids enjoy the game?
Great job and nice to see you nice 👌 plus all the other RUclips dudes!
Thanks BOE!!! 👍 It was good to see you and watch you make some awesome pickups 👍
Electro Man is incredible 💪🤩
Never even heard of him till this show!! So took a punt and am so glad he's in the collection now. Been looking through my Toy-Ventures magazines and of course there's an article on him and Zogg (the enemy) 🤘
At 1:00 into the video, I'm sure I heard somebody shout "Shabby!" 🤣🤣 That GI Joe Command Centre is fantastic. At only £75 too! Bargain! Glad you had a good time our Dave!
LOL I can hear your name clearly now - there can't be another Shabby 🤣 Jules I think picked up the Command Centre - was too big for me 😎 It was good fair, quite a few our crew there this time 👍
Burger King Universal Monsters are awesome, I have a few but had them all as a kid, I opened mine 💪😉
They have to be opened don't they!!! 💪
Didn’t know that this was on? I was o holiday anyway, still sad to have missed it
Toy Fair vs holiday.... yep, I'll take holiday every time 😎 Hope you had a good one!
@@VintageToyRushyes it was brilliant thank you
Man, I love your tie fighter! Are you gonna work on the electronics?
I need to test them, they should be working 🤞 If not, I'll probably just do a quick motor spin off camera 👍
@@VintageToyRush spoken like a guy who knows how to easily fix stuff! The opposite of me! Lol
@@billpaulk1058 LOL Do you have one that needs fixing?
@@VintageToyRush on no, nothing like that. If I did, I would watch videos like yours to figure it out. I live in Texas and I used RUclips to learn to smoke briskets. Just enjoy your hunts a fix it videos
Have you got the details of the guy selling the Action Force command centre please?
Hey there! There's 2 in the video - One was on the table of Another League Toys www.alvintagetoys.co.uk/ and the other being sold by instagram.com/totaltoys82/ - best to message them via those sites 👍 Hope that helps 💪
Regarding Mr Madine, I would recommend picking him up! I saw 👀 on your video a minty carded Palitoy Madine! Madine is the rarest Trilogo carded figure! The Taiwan COO with green hair was one of the first variants that I became aware of: probably via an old Brian’s Toys catalog. I picked up the Lili-Ledy Madine recently! Many moons ago I bought a Sample Madine on a TESB Hoth Luke card a real treasure piece!
Ha BOE!! I'm not sure I want to buy a Madine - he's been relentlessly pursuing me on my toy hunts!!! 🤣 Mind you, with your deep knowledge perhaps it's time to keep an eye out for the one the rarer ones 👍
OPEN THEM!
Ha! I wish I could be so decisive 😎
Dave, any idea on how I could find, make, a lunar style surface to put my Manama force toys in? It’s going to be displayed on top of a clever cube
I'm not really into making that sort of thing but one idea that comes to mind are those lunar lego bases. They're square and obviously have all the lego studs, but that could be a starter!!
@@VintageToyRushyes I have got some of those on my eBay list as a possibility 😂 cheers, that is the kind of thing I need
Gotta open the Burger King toys, they look too nice on the shelf!
Think that has to be the way!! 👍
General maydean anywhere dave?🇬🇧🤠🇺🇸🍻
Ha ha Jon!! 🤘 He's everywhere 🤣
You were in the U.S. recently? What was going on in the states?
Hey Tim!! 👋 Yes, I was at the Atlanta Motorsport Park courtesy of my son who won a place at motor racing academy for the week 👍 It was a great experience for the both of us.
@@VintageToyRush I didn't know you have a son?
Gutted: both sold
Ah no!! Can't believe they're so popular. Are you on any of the Action Force FB groups? Someone may sell on there, or know one for sale 👍
Need a good sark figure !
Will keep an eye out - don't see too many Tomy Tron figs at the shows! 👍
@@VintageToyRush me either ! You just don’t see them very often. Trying to find Buck Roger’s figures, Starroid Raiders, airfix eagles and more ! Just so people can see the history and development of toys from the 70’s.
what follows Sandown? SanUp.
I've no idea how to respond to this 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve been looking for a computer warriors Pepsi can for years
Hi Rebecca, where are you based? If UK, I would suggest buying directly from US! That's what I've done 👍
@@VintageToyRush thanks man. I’ve seen one on lulu Berlu website in France but would prefer to find one in the uk a bit cheaper if possible
I think they're quite rare in the UK, but patience always wins. I wish you luck in finding one 👍
@@VintageToyRush I had one when I was younger but my dad used to travel a lot with work so no idea where he got it from. Thank you 🙏
One thing about you Brits ..the sellers are older guys …never see many kids at these shows…
Some of the sellers look like mafia types🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Careful!! You don't want Mafia turning up on your doorstep 🤣 There's a variety of sellers and I would say a new generation of younger ones are coming through 👍
Hey OOK, I 100% agree, probably one of the most boring and pointless waves ina long time!! Yet another mandalorian, a nd Huyang is just plain wrong!! He's beige fir God sake!! Hasbro is ruining tvc, bring us some original figures fir christ sake -and if they could be from OT even better! Hope you get better soon👍
Hey, maybe this comment was for Only One Kenobi 💪
