I'm 34 and I have a ton of childhood memories from Toys R Us. I've never seen one of those statues before but that thing is awesome!! Great find and buy!
Your wife is the real hero of this channel. She must have hero tier patience when you say "oh I've just spent 1500 dollars on a 6ft plastic giraffe." Hahahaha.
Hi Rick - Thanks for popping in my Whatnot hat sale - Amazing Channel - I look forward to going through your video library. Love everything about your videos - fantastic editing, music, vid clips - great stuff man.
Mad Respect for paying the extra hundred bucks instead of taking advantage of the inside info the employee gave you. You could tell the guy had a lot of sentimental value attached to it. Class act on your part.
Another classic episode from Retro. Great pickup. You need to park that in front of the house and get Pee Wee Herman’s house going on. Great episode bro. Always delivering the 🔥🔥
I love the mystery men movie, a seriously underrated movie 😁 What a cool place Rick! Thanks for sharing. All the best getting Geoffrey home. Wow that had to be one in a million find😮
Rick, your videos have such great production value and never miss a beat. You’ve come such a long way 👍 Also, we’re about the same age. Watching your videos is such a treat. I love seeing toys, games, and movies that I haven’t thought about in decades. I definitely look forward to your videos every week. You are a true ‘90’s historian. Please keep that torch burning! 💪
The stuffed Leonardo came out around the time of the movie. I remember mom buying my Donatello from a grocery store back in the day. I can't remember if it was to promote the movie or the cereal. Could have been both lol
Hey Rick, your video is awesome! Glad Geoffrey is going to a new home. Keith is my father and he is also very excited that Geoffrey is going to have a new life
Try pods moving and storage . They can ship that to your pad . You can always take it to a con and it will sell for sure. It will be a huge draw to your booth as well
Hey. I own a moving company in Duncan sc. I’d be more then happy to load it up and deliver it to you. I’d be very fair on price just cause I love your channel. I do have license and insurance.
I checked it out on Saturday as I was told that macys near me had a Toys R Us in it now. It was a small section of a few isles of toys, unfortunately not at all what I remembered of Toys R Us.
Me and my younger brother totally had all 4 of those big stuffed TMNT figures when we were kids. Pretty sure we got them at Excalibur or Circus Circus in Las Vegas playing the games back in like 1992.
I have always loved Toys R Us. Yes, there is a Toys R Us store in the American Dream Mall in New Jersey-and yes I was there-but it isn’t the same. Great find, Rick. If I bought it though I would probably be sleeping in a dog house specifically made for me lol
Awesome find in the wild! When under pressure to why said find was acquired, drop the retro Rick "It's for my son" line and all will be forgiven! 🤣. What an awesome piece of 80's and 90's Nostalgia! 🤟🔥🎃
Awesome find Bruh!! On the last part when talking to the wifey, It would be a good time to use that “Ah they gave it to me” voice over 🤣🤣🤣 Super Nostalgic find 🔥🔥🔥
I think someone’s gonna be slipping on the couch for the next couple weeks till he recoups that $1500 lol, that’s a insane deal. The last insane deal I saw was Game Chasers a few years ago buying a big Sony display and merchandise shelf, but also nabbing two more cabinets that turned out to be N64 game cabinets that were painted over with black latex paint.
Oh man I had that plush Leonardo when I was a kid! Seeing that brought so many memories flooding back! Did ya'll pick up that plush because u can flip it and make $60.00.
Thank you my Brother, but I have no clue what That is and how to receive something. Lol I'm 34. I just love the memories your channel gives me. Thank you retro Rick!
High Temps and high prices. That sounds about right for the barnyard. It's local to me and after a couple of trips, confirmed I'm missing nothing at all.
You missed the Jingle all the way Clamshell VHS March 4th. 2021 Haggled at the Flea Market and it worked video.😞😉 Just in case you missed it probably it will surface at another Flea Market or Good Will.👍😊
You dont need a uhall you can rent or borrow a suv or van. Maby even a hatchback car that the seats fold down. Build a padded frame so you can lay it back. Basically cuild half a wooden box out of 1x3s and osb plywood. Wrap it in 2mill painters plastic and buy a few cans of spray foam. Spray a layer on the bottom the lay it in and fill the rest with foam. Then cut the foam up to take it out.
What do you guys think I’ll be doing with the Geoffrey statue? 😃
Give it to that Phoenix Resale guy! 😂jkjk it’s so cool
Slap the Retro Rick logo over his name and paint it purple I’m guessing
Apologizing to the wife 😂😂
gonna sell it on WhatNot! lol
You and Geoffrey will be sleeping outside after the Wifey sees the bank account lol
Love the call to the Mrs. at the end. That conversation needing to happen is the first thing that popped into my head following the purchase 🤣
😂
Following the purchase? Homeboy isn't home she might be gone when he gets back. That is kind of a pre-purchase chat.
@@Playalives sometimes is better to ask for forgiveness than permission
I wouldn’t even risk some carrier handling Geoffrey. Just make a family vaca out of it with a uhaul. Road trip!
Agreed
The dreaded call to the wife after spending $1,500 on a 6 foot statue lol
Her last comment was priceless... "I have a bunch of questions"
We've all done it
Lmaooo
It was fun seeing this play out in video form! Good memories! ❤
You were hilarious in this one hahaha
@@retrorick thanks man! It was a memorable moment to find that Geoffrey!
I'm 34 and I have a ton of childhood memories from Toys R Us. I've never seen one of those statues before but that thing is awesome!! Great find and buy!
It's always a good day when Rick posts
The king of queens such an underrated show..a bit like yours. Always a treat to watch
"How much did it cost?" That's the crazy thing, he just gave it to me.
I swear you getting Geoffrey to your house is probably going to be like the plot to some road trip comedy movie.😆
Your wife is the real hero of this channel. She must have hero tier patience when you say "oh I've just spent 1500 dollars on a 6ft plastic giraffe." Hahahaha.
Hi Rick - Thanks for popping in my Whatnot hat sale - Amazing Channel - I look forward to going through your video library. Love everything about your videos - fantastic editing, music, vid clips - great stuff man.
The Leonardo plush I know for sure was a carnival game prize. Remember seeing at carnivals in the late 80s.
I have a Michaelangelo one somewhere.

From bikes to toys to videogames!!! I'm a Toys R Us kid, I hope Geoffrey has his right hand!!!
I love the mystery men movie, a seriously underrated movie 😁
What a cool place Rick! Thanks for sharing.
All the best getting Geoffrey home. Wow that had to be one in a million find😮
Good luck getting is home man. That thing is crazy
So much joy had from the statue now will just sit in you room. The addiction is real. Lol
Awesome video Rick! The journey of this "bizarre" flea market purchase is not over yet!!
Rick, your videos have such great production value and never miss a beat. You’ve come such a long way 👍 Also, we’re about the same age. Watching your videos is such a treat. I love seeing toys, games, and movies that I haven’t thought about in decades. I definitely look forward to your videos every week. You are a true ‘90’s historian. Please keep that torch burning! 💪
Ah man... The employee that works there and the smiling children that used to visit the statue need a new mascot.
Yet I love the random impulse!
You did the right thing , go with your gut , you will never see another one , and will bring joy to lots of people 👍
That road trip can become…
Retro Rick the movie 😂
That’s why I get so pumped for mondays and Thursdays cause as the channel grows so does ricks addiction and I get to come along for the ride
Super awesome you guys stopped at the barnyard flea market. Its maybe 20 min from my house and I prob swing there twice a month.
Man oh man that's going to cost you an upgrade on the Wedding Ring lmao!
The stuffed Leonardo came out around the time of the movie. I remember mom buying my Donatello from a grocery store back in the day. I can't remember if it was to promote the movie or the cereal. Could have been both lol
The Geoffrey statue is so cool. Definitely never seen one IRL that hasn’t been in a toys r us. Awesome find!
Take a shot each time Rick says “dude”. 😂
😂😂😂
Or bro
It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. That Geoffrey was worth every penny, bro. Good job.
4:25 Rick why u Rob this lil kid off a dollar let him make his money he doesn't know better 😂😂😂
What did I win
Those Beetle Borgs were awesome!
YES!!! So happy you bought it Retro!!!!!!! This was freaking awesome!!!! Can't wait to see how the hell your gonna ship this bad boy!!!!!
Man as a die hard San Antonio Spurs fan. That trash bin was 🔥 I would of copped instantly. Video was Fuego as usual. Good finds.
Hey Rick, your video is awesome! Glad Geoffrey is going to a new home. Keith is my father and he is also very excited that Geoffrey is going to have a new life
Retro Rick And NES Addict great duo they will do well at the flea market the more the merrier

@@NESADDICT we try our best week in and out enjoy the week from one retro great to the both of you from the 80s to now so much collecting
Geoffrey omg! Childhood memories rejoice! When they replaced him for the bloody star I cried for months!
Bruh king of queens was my teenage era comedy show I’d watch after coming home freshman year
First off didn’t know you were in SC. That’s my stomping ground. Bring the statue to next years South East Game Exchange and I’ll buy it from you lol
Try pods moving and storage . They can ship that to your pad . You can always take it to a con and it will sell for sure. It will be a huge draw to your booth as well
Hey. I own a moving company in Duncan sc. I’d be more then happy to load it up and deliver it to you. I’d be very fair on price just cause I love your channel. I do have license and insurance.
Gargoyles was such a gem of a cartoon.
That's a find right there. Looking forward to seeing these projects you're working on
Great pick up. Reminds me of the conversations I have with my wife. You paid how much for that shirt, sign or statue. Well, if it makes you happy 😂
Rick my man you are crazy for buying that huge statue.
That's literally ten minutes from where I live! I'll miss seeing Geoffery but I'm pumped that he's going to you!
Jay Jay! He’s our man! If he can’t do it…no one can! Gooo Jay!
RAD..I guess some Macy's are bringing back a mini version of Toys R Us..
Actually all macys will have mini toys r uses in them by the end of October
I checked it out on Saturday as I was told that macys near me had a Toys R Us in it now. It was a small section of a few isles of toys, unfortunately not at all what I remembered of Toys R Us.
Rick you are out of control and I like love it!!!
Me and my younger brother totally had all 4 of those big stuffed TMNT figures when we were kids. Pretty sure we got them at Excalibur or Circus Circus in Las Vegas playing the games back in like 1992.

We have a toys r us near where I live
@@moldman3686 that is cool. I believe there will be more Toys R Us stores in the near future.
Here in Canada they started to use the Geoffrey mascot again in the stores. Pretty amazing stuff getting that statue!
Awesome find in the wild! When under pressure to why said find was acquired, drop the retro Rick "It's for my son" line and all will be forgiven! 🤣. What an awesome piece of 80's and 90's Nostalgia! 🤟🔥🎃
I'm addicted to your videos 😍
Good luck dude on the shipping:) Awesome video rick and again a GREAT find:) Toys "R" Us forever:)
Awesome....what did i win bro:) i acknowledge
Geoffrey statue display WOW Keep for awhile then auction with a reserve super sweet✌️😊
Toys R Us will be wanting that back
The man was probably right he would of said yes to $1,400 😬😅
I’m betting he would have taken anything over 100 lmao it was a broken statue anyway
Awesome find Bruh!!
On the last part when talking to the wifey,
It would be a good time to use that “Ah they gave it to me” voice over 🤣🤣🤣
Super Nostalgic find 🔥🔥🔥

Very lucky for both of you
This is Geoffery's new job after Toys "R" Us closed.

Mystery men! Love it
Thank you my Brother, but I have no clue what
That is and how to receive something. Lol I'm 34. I just love the memories your channel gives me. Thank you retro Rick!
That looks a like a trade between Ricks!
This episode should have been called dude bro dude bro
High Temps and high prices. That sounds about right for the barnyard. It's local to me and after a couple of trips, confirmed I'm missing nothing at all.
Awesome video man!
I have that same addidas t shirt on that the kid had on around 4 minutes in. 😁😁
NESAddict is the man!
Naw dude you are!!
Thank you so much for the free SNES game from the whatnot giveaway. I can't wait to receive it.

Memories seeing that! 🤘🏻🤘🏻👌🏻
Damn Retro you not playing around great find bro
You can pay people to ship if for you like in the show Shipping Wars.
Cool toys and video games
Thats such a cool buy big G
You missed the Jingle all the way Clamshell VHS March 4th. 2021 Haggled at the Flea Market and it worked video.😞😉 Just in case you missed it probably it will surface at another Flea Market or Good Will.👍😊
On hot wheels, I think you should look for the acceleracers vehicles. Those are popular to early 2000s kids
You dont need a uhall you can rent or borrow a suv or van. Maby even a hatchback car that the seats fold down. Build a padded frame so you can lay it back. Basically cuild half a wooden box out of 1x3s and osb plywood. Wrap it in 2mill painters plastic and buy a few cans of spray foam. Spray a layer on the bottom the lay it in and fill the rest with foam. Then cut the foam up to take it out.
Amazing pick up Rick !!!
