As I have a house full of comic books, I have avoided getting into toy collecting, but every time I see those 70's galactica figures, my will power gets weak.
Loved those things as a kid!
"Toy Show Regerts" was my favorite part.
Those monster records really stood out when I was watching the first half of the video. So eye-catching, the artwork is just perfect.
That Ben Cooper Godzilla is hilarious. It may as well say "Dino" from the Flintstones.
I remember having one, but thought it was just a dinosaur ! I remember the bowed legs of it and that it fit my index finger in it's mouth PERFECTLY like it was attacking me.
Love the Chuck Mangione kinda music😂
3:15 Remember DYNAMITE Magazine ? They had a Vampire comic strip called Count Morbidia (sp?) that looked like this . Kinda.
its ok I also want the Spock out of anything Star Trek set related too
So much Star Trek stuff! Would have loved to be there. Enjoy your new purchases!
thanks so much!
Evel Knievel in the red jump suit… eluded me back in 70’s…
I had the Marvel stamps. They were sold in bookstores like Walden Books and such.
The records are definitely cool I listen to them online so cool. if I had them I'd probably want to draw the covers
i remember the DC stamp book from the mid 70s. it educated me about everybody in DC (at the time)but i only got one batch of the stamps
Great COM MIX, wow! 8.5 GRADED GI JOE!
The older I’ve got, the more I want the background scenes or play sets to my favs. Like Ultraman’s Science Patrol center, Logan’s Run DS HQ, Captain Dolby’s Office to yell at Hutch & Starsk or 3 Co.s Apt., lol 😂
The hockey patch with dracula is awesome. The coffin bank I had as a kid. Would pick that up for sure.
I've found that I avoid carded stuff after it gets past a certain dollar amount for that reason...the need to open vs destroying re-sale value if you ever have to sell. Most of my collection is loose (and often beaters) as a result. Great haul!
I discovered this a LONG time ago. Most of my collection is in slightly off condition . Thus - NOT a lot of big dollar value. So I can see keep it. No guilt. I am sitting on a vintage sealed tube of 1971 Vampire Blood that keeps shooting up in value ! LOL. I'm like STOP !!! I wanna keep it !!!!
I didn't make the Burlington show because I was hanging out with Dr Oblimon but we did go to Niagara Falls and while Castle Dracula is still there the giant billboard sign that has been up on the roof for 40+ years is sadly gone. It will undoubtedly be replaced by something technically "better" but I'm sure it won't be half as charming.
Oh no that sign was so iconic.
I have a soft spot for the Lake George House of Frankenstein ! First went there in 1975. I remember the Kong Kong exhibit- he was holding a classic fuzzy hair Hasbro G.I. Joe. Stayed that way for YEARS . And we were always like "Someone who works here is gonna NAB that G.I. Joe " and sure enough - the next year- he was replaced with a recent Barbie !! MAJOR score at my local flea market: The ORIGINAL brochure from 1973 when it opened! It's that one where you cut out the mask . One of the exhibits - aside from Monsters - had "Real Crime" folk. Of which one was CHARLES MANSON !! How crazy is THAT >? LOL. Our House of Frankenstein had its own GIFT SHOP with everything you'd need! I bought an orange coffee mug- that I kept for a DECADE before it shattered. They are VERY hard to find now.
I’m amazed that Canadian toys look almost like American toys.
Now, sadly, and knowing what looks like... I need that Godzilla Jiggler.
He'd be great to hang with both the Shoguns, The Popy figs, and my 6 and 12 inch imperials.
WOW ! your comment just reminded me !... I had that Godzilla jiggler but thought it was just a generic dinosaur and I DID have it battle my 3.5 inch Shogun Combatra !
@@paulwalsh2344 That's Awesome!
House of Dracula comic book!!
It's nice to see some board games at the toy show.
🖤🖤🖤
Is it weird that I want a set of 8 inch Star Trek Megos and a set of Planet of the Apes Megos, but only so that I could get Dr.Zaius, Cornelius, Dr Zira and Gorn figure and have them wear the Star Trek uniforms ?
Probably right ?
Man I would've been all over those monster records. Do you remember what the vendor was asking for them?
100 CDN for the lot.
@@BrickMantooth Not a terrible price given they were still sealed.
How in God's name did you find the will power to pass up the monster records?
I too would have had to play them.
Thanks for the shout out! I really like those monster records. That artwork is great. No, I wouldn’t open them.
I wouldn't open them either and then go an a grail hunt for opened ones...
You gotta jump on Power Records stuff Brian.... esp sealed.. cmon man plus they are all on youtube.. you dont even have to open them and play them.
Maybe next show.
"Reckless" toy show purchases? No such thing. Buyer's remorse is a pointless phenomenon. Put the items aside until the inner nagging voice quiets down, then it'll be like somebody else gave it to you.
It was sarcastic, trust me.
No Regerts.
Did some Toy Stores in Tennessee a few days ago, thought about Brick 🧱 explaining all his toy NOS feels, got a ton of dealios. Video it all forgot to take pics. Smacking my head now.
The vintage 1978 Mattel Battlestar Galactica Colonial Scarab in box and the Cylon Raider and Viper parts caught my eye. As well as the carded Death Star Droid and Ewoks.
Interesting... I would have bet those Universal Monster records would have gone home with you !
Great video as always. I had the Castle Dracula colorforms circa 1976. It was one of the best they made back in the day. Now they are about $ 150 US in the box on ebay.
I liked the look of that Kong bank - but seriously there was a bunch of stuff that gave me pangs.
I think a METAL Evel Kneviel RV & Rocket Sled would be more appealing than cheap flimsy plastic, now I have to customize, and not the greatest at DIY stuff….I’d need to hire someone, lol 😆. Dang, quadruple my cost, lol 😂
Star Wars Duel death set never seen that before il buy it..
Nice video job 👍👏
Thanks for the visit
Wow! A real Colonel Steve Austin, Mint in OG Box 📦 only $160. Was it a REAL ORIGINAL 📦 ? Or a Copy, which is Still Super C@@L…I have to know, lol 😆.
Yeah it was the Canadian box too.
Wow! Kewl! I think Early 1980 was when Mass Production kicked in for a lot of different things…
I love playing "Pick the stuff Brian bought".
He frustrates me all the time though because I'd have bet money those Universal Monsters records would have gone home with him.
@@paulwalsh2344 Same
Oh yeah they were very tempting but I had just purchased so much.
Issac wasn't on this trip as your dashboard crew?
I left in a hurry.
The House of Frankenstein was a highlight for me when my mother would take me to Niagara falls!
Was it a wax museum then?
@@BrickMantooth Pretty sure it was, but I loved the gift shop they had great masks for sale!
The 9:00 Godzilla caught my attention in the thumbnail not because I recognized him as a Godzilla, but he was my favorite rubber T-rex as a kid. But mine was brown with a yellow/green belly and red eyes.
That was a feast for the eyes!!! I thought you were going to go for the Super Joe outfits. I rewound the video to take a look at the Zaius figure. I didn't think you would pick him up but I would have (price pending). Making a "Hanging w/ Dr Z" figure out of it would be hilarious.
Spock / Dr. Zaius team up when???
