Oh man I so wanted Tin Can Alley as a child I put it on my birthday and Christmas lists but I never got one. Now I’m 10 years old and really sad all over again. 😂😂😂
Same here wanted one didn't get it but a friend of mine did. It was fun to play with for about 10 minutes then it was go outside with the BB guns and shot cans bottles little army men shooting thumb tacks ect. BB guns were certainly a lot more fun
Thats very nice. I know they do make nice toys these days but back then toys were magic so much excitement went with having something like that Wow! Superb!😮😯😲👍🇭🇲✌️
Oh Jerry man you have pulled me right back to the 1970s! 😮 My mum got me the Airfix Diving Submarine for Christmas! I seem to remember TV adverts here in the UK for Tin Can Alley as well. Amazing job thank you man 👏
I had a submarine that worked the same way that came from a cereal packet. It was a lot smaller obviously, about a quarter of the size. You probably remember Tom Good from The Good Life.
There is nothing like not growing up. Lol. I did not have a lot of money to spend as a kid, so my Airfix collection was limited. I wanted to buy some of those soldier sets featured in the comic books in the 60s and early 70s but never got around to it. I had forgotten some of those sets were actually games with a board (playmat) and rules. Then were a lot of sets I was not aware. I grew up in a small city with only a few small hobby shops which only had the boxed soldiers. Hobby shops in a larger market area probably carried the larger sets. I found two fold out ads for a line called Atlantic in a 1979 wargame (Panzer Force). One had Far West Kits, Far West Wargames, WW II Wargames, Nato Armor Kits, WW II Armor Kits, Far West Story and HO scale Modern Armies and Armies of WW II. It is great to see you opening up these old sets. Rock on!
omg i can FEEL the search light move in my fingers on that gun emplacement set, having soldiers run up the steps and also the Coastal defence "circles" which held the barrels of the gun. wow you have a new subscriber!
Jerry, your videos are so fantastic. Whenever I need a break from the stress at work, I'll put one on. Those childhood memories, mostly on stuff you dreamed off but never got. All the best from Rami, from Finland, born 1973.
The Timpo toys are very nice. I had some of each of those as i still remember my childhood days. I love the crusaders so much. They were well made toys also Roman soldiers and cavalry were superb. They don't make them loke they used to.☹️😣🙁🤫🇭🇲✌️
The submarine brought back a lot of memories. Mine ended up lost in action in the depths of the local pond, as did most of my friends' subs! I have a theory that every pond in Britain has at least one of the subs in it! Great video.
The box art on that Timpo castle is AWESOME!!! Congrats on all your great hauls!!! Love your collection. Im going to score me one of those Timpo castles sometime soon.
@@toysoldiernostalgia ha ha agreed- they would mesmerize me for hours on end....speaking of which- it was hilarious when you said "crap ton" as I say that all the time and my adult aged children all think Im the only one who says that lol.
There's lots of very nice surprise items in this video. I use to have a small variety of Timpo figures the Crusaders i loved and Knights were good also had a couple of Roman cavalry and foot Roman soldiers. All gone just memories now. Ive seen them now on eBay buy i don't have a big wallet or deep pockets. Another super collection of wonderful toys.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️
You have some interesting toys i never seen before. The Timpo Castle never had that board games totally missed. Im seeing in your collections toys i missed out on. Im very jealous even though i have lots of good items but mostly models. And I've lost my energy to be building anything. If im working on something i stop then months would go by and it would be still unfinished. But i still collect and im almost out of space. And have a family member sister still hoping to rid of my collections. And second sister is like me likes to collect but totally different interest.☹️☹️☹️😣😣😣🙁🇭🇲✌️
Lovely stuff 😊 I had the pontoon bridge and the gun emplacement but neither in a set. I wanted tin can alley but never got it sadly, although I remember the TV advert has Chuck Conners in and my partner, Laura, remembers him as "The Rifleman" from a TV series, so I guess him advertising the shooting game makes sense.
Absolutely delightful stuff. Thank you for showing us all these toys. A few of my friends had the games and whatnot (The lucky sods). There was an Ad on Telly for the Tin Can Alley Rifle Set, back in the day. No-one knew who the bloke was. The way the camera lingered on him, suggested he was meant to be famous, but we didn't know him from Adam. I didn't find out 'til recently that he was Chuck Connors, star of an old North American TV Show called 'The Rifleman'. Whoop-di-doo, big deal. Nonetheless, the toy was highly desirable, but it was nowhere to be found. And so we got our hands on Air Rifles instead. And is why the NHS is still popular today. Thanks again for bringing Christmas Day back, albeit for an all-too-brief spell. Cheers.
As a 70’s kid I also never had Tin can alley however I was lucky to have for chrimbo was the dark tower electronic fantasy game still got it still works and the simply brilliant matchbox race and chase hours of fun playing with my brother the ramp was ace 😊
Hi, this video took me back to my childhood the best game you unboxed which me and my brother had was 10 can Ali I remember we’ve still got it somewhere up in the attic great videos great memories thx DSM Uk🇬🇧☺️
i had the castle when i was 6 maybe , but my brother sat on it and bust it hes was only 2 grrrrrrrr and i had pontoon bridge it was very cool thanks great unboxing
Edit : Oh wow ! My cousins in England in the late 1970's at Xmas morning, well, they got TIN CAN ALLEY like yours. With my brother and cousins we would spend all day playing with TIN CAN ALLEY until, reluctantly, it was time to go to sleep !.... 😂
1:18 I believe I once had a similar plastic castle 45 or 50 years ago, my parents aren't alive anymore so there's noone left I could ask... 😕 Most of the games I had /have are European I don't recognise most of these. 10:20 Never heared of the company Lionel, but I had some smaller scale Fleischmann and Märklin stuff. 12:30 Anything gun related was probably forbidden in my country. 🙂 15:10 On a very limited scale I had a couple of Airfix 1/32 and 1/72 scale military buildings and fortresses. Not a set with several parts. 15:40 The coastal defense fortress I had separately, without the figures and vehicles. 16:52 I'm familiar with the gun emplacement I think one of my friends had one. 17:55 Never seen that submarine! 😀Oohhh how I wish I could remember what the toy stores in my neighbourhood were selling 50 years ago...
Oh man, I got Tin Can Alley one Christmas in England, loved it. Had no idea who Chuck Connors was and even what Dr. Pepper was. Brings back great memories. I also had the assault sets.
@@maninthewilderness3208 I 've seen him in a few shows since, at the time I had no clue. I might need to try and fin d the show online somewhere to see if I remember it.
Chuck Connors American actor. Seen in western films. He also appeared in other roles sometimes as a bad guy character. Played as an Indian in westerns and as Jeronimo if you've ever heard of that Indian character from true story of the American west. To name some.👍🇭🇲✌️
Just sold all my Timpo at vectis auctions, Tuesday this week, take a look had some great stuff, putting my airfix collection in there next, sad but needs must
I was looking at a few of those. But it ends up to expensive to buy from Vectis at the moment with the high cost exchange rate at the moment together with their fees. That ww2 play set was realy nice.
Hi TSN, Chuck Connors was a special breed of cat (the host of Danger Freaks a real life stuntman profile show ) and a well mannered family man, murderer in Rifleman. He should have left with his family if he really wanted to protect them, but every day he got to kill some new bad folks (always men) that showed up in town. You might Know him from a few Doug McClure movies as well. Great vid always makes me smile when the nostalgia kicks in
@@toysoldiernostalgia Hi TSN. We in Australia got a lot of US and UK shows and most of our toys were from there too. After the war up until the early 70's Australia had a no Asia import thing happening except for products from Hong Kong (part of the Commonwealth) LOL we had no Chinese or Japanese toys until after then.
@@caw25sha The Jungle Outpost was originally only in 1/32nd scale. Don't know if they did a 1/72nd. Similar to the Strong Point which they did eventually release in both scales.
Lionel is normal 3 rail track. Yes airfix, triang /Hornby copy for ho/00 scale. Even bachmann has done the general in several scales. The general is a famous wild West loco, used in building the union pacific and I think it was used in most western flims. It is a Baldwin 4-4-0 a fair bit of information via Google
i dont know why my comment didn't work. Anyway great video and that Lionel is 0 scale 1:48 and could be run om tubular rail and i think you could use a classic blue marklin transformer in europe. thanks !
Chuck Connors one of the greatest Western stars of the 1960s and 1970s....Lol! You obviously are not as old as me! The Rifleman, Branded ("Scorned as the man who ran") etc etc
It's really sad that since computer games and consoles came into being, "real toys" have been in decline, perhaps it's because they require an active imagination to make them work
Very Nice, Steer-n-go here in Brasil was called Piloto Campeão (Champion Pilot) and it had two versions (70's and 80's) the following video is 80's version by TROL (the same that made local Playmobil) ruclips.net/video/l6DMsDnsEYc/видео.htmlsi=Bz9fjx4R80um1bLG

🎶 Oh I wish it could be Christmas every day 🎶
Takes me right back to when I was a little guy. Love these uploads, great stuff.
Great to see your enthusiasm for these things. I'm so impressed by the quality of the box art. I'm 66 now, so remember the era you collect from.
Hard to not get excited with these toys :)
Thats very nice. I know they do make nice toys these days but back then toys were magic so much excitement went with having something like that Wow! Superb!😮😯😲👍🇭🇲✌️
Had the submarine and fort as a child...loved them. Never had tin can alley either ! ❤

I had the Tin Can Alley. It was the coolest toy.
yes I had it too the gun was awesome! , the fence part eventually broke but I had the gun well into my teens

Some great stuff there Jerry. I think you might have to open a visitor centre to see your collection as it’s getting so big and interesting. 👍
One day hopefully I can afford a space for the studio and the collection. Then anyone can stop by and have a look.
Those 3 assault sets!!
Be still my heart, id have mowed lawns all summer for those.
If i come to Sweden can i come over to play?
Of course. Stop by anytime :)
I painted the castle when I was kid, took ages but looked good I thought.
Tin Can Alley was always the gift I never got 😢
Sorry to hear that. Hey, just choose another Toy, yeah ?? 👍

Very cool. Funny how the WW2 play sets have many post war tanks in them.
I know. It makes no sence.
I have suddenly realized how spoilt I was as a kid, and I never knew. We were so lucky then to be alive.
I think The General is the locomotive from the Buster Keaton film of the same name, made in the 1920s.
Great thanks.
