Hope you show a video if you got to meet them at the convention. I would pay to get there autographs because in my opinion best live action daredevil and kingpin.
This episode is fantastic. I am always happy to see someone find a nostalgic toy piece from their childhood. I am delighted to see that Ryan found a piece (or two) from his childhood that brought pure joy to his face. I can still remember saving up the money I made from babysitting the neighbor kids when I was 13, so I could order an NES. I lived in in Izmir, Turkey at this time, and even after an order was placed it could take 30-45 days for an order to arrive. I remember receiving and opening the NES and feeling so "grown up", yet extremely giddy with childish wonder. Seeing another in this video brought those memories flooding back.
Another awesome episode!!! Thanks fellas! Really looking forward to seeing the Froggy Flips episode (if you show that footage)! Was super cool seeing you on his channel! :D
I had that Guns of Navarone playset when i was young. For years ive been trying to remember what it was called and who made it. Brings back lots of great memories. Thank you!
This is how you do business. If a fut like Ryan is willing to clean our your car,transport it home,and take a very long time to sell it,you got to hook him up. Love to see it
Do you know what……..in my 45 years, I’ve been a soldier, worked as a prison & police officer………I would absolutely love to work in this guys shop & live out my last days in peace & geeky quietness…….I would be happy 👍
I’m not even joking!……the crap I’ve seen & done………if I ever came to America to live from England…….I’d wanna work in a shop like that with a chilled peaceful atmosphere……..great vids 👍
Hey Ryan, just started watching. Your videos are great! One suggestion is to turn up the volume on the videos. They are pretty low! Except when you do the retro commercials, those are pretty loud haha!
@@toyfederation I do! I usually have to turn up your videos extra though. And then when you do the vintage commercials, those are normal volume and are much louder in comparison. Just a heads-up, you're free to do your videos as you please.
Unreal scores! 😮 Love seeing these kinds of treasures. As a 40+ year old kid...I really appreciate this kind of content. Keep up the great work guys! 😊
@@toyfederationmy dad recently piled up my old toys and I was lucky enough to find my Gen 1 Grimloc ❤ I remember the night I went to KB Toys in Waterville Maine at the Elm Plaza and saw him sitting there...I had to have it! The store clerk was a guy in his early 20's and he was like the coolest guy in the world cause he worked at KB Toys haha Funny how finding something like an old toy, a game, album or movie can spark a rush of memories and an urge to SPLURGE on something 😄 🎉 I need to look into this toy convention you are talking about...I do comic cons and STUFF with my Gwar approved character. Be cool to come see some toys!!!
20:20 I was wondering why that guy in the background was acting a little shady, pacing back and forth and eyeing the camera. Turns out he's a bodyguard
man, the robot and gyromite was tough. one of the first things i tried to play. getting those tops to spin and drop on the thing at the right time.. man. this channel is awesome for brewing up memories.
Man, you ate such a class act to deal with. Really know how to explain to people what they have versus what you know you can get out of them. The "modern" collection market must be so hard to deal with, especially when it's someone you obviously know. Think just because it's a well know i.p. and unopened it's worth $$$$$. When reality it's probably not even work the plastic box it's in. Keep up the awesome stuff
I respect your business and especially how you care about the figures when putting them together If I was into figure buying your business is definitely one of the places I'd come to to know I was getting genuine authentic matched stuff, I'm more into the gaming game collecting side
OMG. The Might Men and Monster Maker was my absolute favorite growing up. I spent SO much time with that! Now I have to see if I can track one down for my son to enjoy.
My biggest takeaway from your videos lately (besides that if you go to Retro-Toy Con that you are going to have a lot of fun) is how important it is to balance being genuine + patient + courteous with someone trying to sell to you, while also conveying a direct approach to your interest level + price points. Your content is a lot more levels than a Pawn Stars or American Pickers. Thanks for giving us a peek behind the curtains of your business.
He did have a lot of patience. That gentleman was just tossing stuff out there to see what would stick, “I know you didn’t mention having any of these in your store, but I have a forty five year old house wife, she works, cooks, doesn’t like to clean, I don’t take her out much and I haven’t checked out how much she is worth on EBay, would ya give me a hundred for her”? “Honestly we aren’t into human trafficking, we are a toy store”. “Okay, would ya give me ten bucks for her”?
Seein as im from the South myself , i like this guy! :D he,s just thinin out the hauls , & tryin to make a decent buck. Not a bad haul over all & the man didnt even have to rent a booth!
I understand the situation, the box had you distracted.."I just like the box". I too like cool old school toy boxes with great art or ones that bring back memories. As long as it wasn't just a plain brown box, I know some kids that are more entertained in plain boxes than toys.
The Vintage Toy World needs more like him . I wish my local buy, sell, trade Toy store had a owner like Ryan that's fair . I took a un-opened mint RTOJ Ewok Village , A Ewok Battle Wagon opened with the box and all the parts , a un-opened LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series X-Wing Fighter . I wanted 1200.00 for all 3 so i could by my daughter her first car . The guy pulled a Pawn Stars Rick move on me talking about storage , listing , shipping , etc. he offered 925. 00 . . .his final offer 1000.00 even he even stuck hid hand out to shake with a smile on his face , I told him no thanks he was lowballing me and i left . Here's the odd part he had a Ewok village in his display window no box and it was missing parts for 300.00
@NATIVESUNSETS65 Yeah... I was talking about the guy Ryan was buying from that kept saying hpw "honest" he was. In that scenario he would be the Seller and Ryan the Buyer.
I was completely unaware of the Iwa Jima playset until I started watching this channel. I LOVE playsets. That one especially looked like it had a great box. MASK Bolder Hill is still my all time favorite playset :)
Why does it have to end? So good, so much fun to watch. You guys do a great job. Love the Star Wars blaster info too. I only knew about the black blaster going with Stormtrooper Luke.
It's funny when you said you sometimes find a weapon under the trays when you get a star wars collectors case. I bought one on an ebay auction about 10 years ago, and when I took the trays out I found an Imperial blaster underneath! Lol. It probably happens a lot!
You should have the retro game store fill a cabinet at your shop and you do the same at his to cross promote each other. I'm sure the venn diagram has quite the overlap in retro toys and games.
Just discovered your channel, absolutely love it! Subbed! Would love to go to your store someday. You seem like a super nice guy who obviously know your stuff. You kinda remind me of Steve Buscemi. Mean that in a good way!

Yes your normal store episodes is perfect good vibe, nice interaction, nice veriaty of customers true passion and knowledge about the subject. Good example how Fair trade should be done. Subject i care little about but enough to find it entertaining and interesting. Keep it going i am expecting 10x viewers.
@@toyfederation Just the amount of times he said it. It could be just his habit when talking about his stuff, but it just felt excessive. But I also understand this is an edited video of an interaction and you probably have a relationship with this guy and know he's trustworthy.

Usually a good rule in life is , if a person continually tells you "I'm just being honest", they're lying their ass off.
In this case it seems like he was being honest. Be skeptical, but don't assume someone is lying based on that. It's kinda disrespectful.
Like the last president lol

I know nothing about reselling but those prices for all that Star Wars is awesome, wish I found a deal for a collection like this
