- Sandown Toy Fair is one of my favourite fairs of the year. I haven't been to a fair for a while so looking forward to having a good browse for some vintage toys.
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!
What would you have taken home? As always, thanks for your support... cheers Dave 👍
If the price was reasonable, I'd bring home some of the M.A.S.K. carded figures and boxed sets, as well as a number of the varied brands of carded figures at the show.
Oh yeah! Plenty of MASK to choose from - really good quality too! 👍
Great video Dave and it sure looked like a brilliant fair. I wouldn't have minded getting a look at the vintage and classic Lego, thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks Jeff! 🤘 Yeah, that Lego stall had some amazing sets 👍
Great pickups, and it's always a pleasure meeting up with you. Appreciate the shoutout, thank you.
I'm still getting over our conversation on the way back from lunch, lol
Cheers Stu! 👍 Makes you think though doesn't it 🤣
Great video as always Dave!
Cheers! 🤘
Wow, boxed vintage Pirates Lego, there's something you don't see every day! Awesome work and brilliant pick-ups as always Dave!
Cheers Scott! Yeah, Adam and I were looking through all that vintage Lego! Pirates, Train sets, Technic - all sorts 👍
What an awesome toy fair! So much awesome stuff! Excellent pickups too mate. Great video
Thanks Nate! 👍 Always love attending Sandown, good crowd and always something to pickup 🤘
Looks like a great show and you got some nice pieces for the collection!
Thanks Dave! 👍 Perhaps one day we'll see you at Sandown?
Fantastic little video sir. 😁 There were some great items themed towards things I enjoy that I hadn’t seen before, like the official 007 bulletholes or Back to the Future board. Great grab on Japanese Lee records and Dune!! 🔥 Thank you for sharing.
Thanks!! 🤘 Yeah, those Bond bullet holes were tempting! but very pleased with Bruce vinyls and Dune 👍
Cool variety at the show, and some nice finds too. The Computer Force carded figures and items are unique and good to see. Thanks.
Thanks! 👍 One day I should do a Computer Force video - really cool line! At the moment, trying to collect them all before they hit prime time 🤣
@@VintageToyRush Thanks Dave. A new Computer Force video would be cool to see in the future, yes.
Awesome video Dave. So many great items and your pick ups were fantastic as always. Going to look into Crystar because of you, LOL. I can't believe what Vectis Auctions had...Just WOW!
Cheers Mike! 🤘 Yeah, very pleased with the pickups... I will warn you though, those Crystar figures are not easy to find!! I've found most of them in the US 👍 Some cracking items in Vectis and also the other new auction house Oberon!!
Great video again mate, thanks for the pic, was a pleasure talking to you as always.

Cheers Rob!! 🤘 Finally, you have a card in the collector album 👍 Good to chat as always!
Love watching your videos always cool calm and collective. Loads and loads of interesting amazing things there. Great video 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😉👍
Thanks Andrew! 👍 Sometimes it takes a while to notice all the things LOL I try to focus on the vintage stuff in the videos, but there's way more!!!
Looks like there were some awesome toys at Sandown this weekend! My favorite three was the carded Fall Guy Truck. The A Team Boxed Corvette and wow! That Matchbox Licensed to kill vehicle set was amazing!! Glad you and the lads had a great time!
Cheers Shabby!! 🤘 Never seen those Fall Guy vehicles before, but love them. I was tempted LOL And yeah, awesome James Bond set!! 👍
Great pick ups mate and great to meet you today 👍
Cheers Keith! 👍 Good to meet you too even if it was too brief!
Very cool and what a variety they had this go around. I heard some familiar voices there in the background! Great vid and overview as always!!! 👍🏽
Thanks Gary! 🤘 Yeah, quite a gang there today! Some really cool items too 👍
Way to go,Sir Dave.Acquiring another Coleco Rambo action figure.
Ha ha! Can't leave Rambo behind! 😎
Cool 😎 video!
Thanks BOE! Good to see you again even if briefly 👍
Great video as always. We don´t collect the same stuff but it´s still great fun to watch your videos. Cheers.
Thanks, really appreciate that! Checked, I am subscribed to your channel 👍
@@VintageToyRush and I´m to yours :)
Love your videos. I wish I could fly to the UK to hunt, great stuff in the footage.
Thanks, appreciate that! 👍 Well, if you do ever hit the UK, let me know! I'd love to to do some US toy hunting (I assume you're based there) 🤘
I really need to get to Sandown again next year. Such a great selection. Some nice pickups from another great video!
See you at Echo Dave?
Would be great to see you at Sandown again!! Yep, heading to Echo, looking forward to it 👍
That looks like an amazing event, Dave! Sandown is very far from Edinburgh, but hopefully I can make it down there one day! 😁 I did recognise the Fall Guy truck at 5:49 and remember having that break apart toy as a kid! Another very enjoyable vid! Glad you had a good time with some nice pick-ups!😀
Cheers Dario! 🤘 Seems a few people have recognised the Fall Guy truck... amazing you had one as a kid... never seen them before but was very tempted! Perhaps, one day we'll see you at Sandown or maybe a trip to Scotland is required 👍
Great video Dave!
Cheers Flux!! 🤘
Always fun to follow you at a Toy Fair Dave 😊 So much vintage goodness! Straight up...Sectaurs ❤ I would need a second mortgage if I went on a toy fair in UK or USA 🤣
Thanks for sharing mate
And congrats on the Crystar and Dune figs. Both lines are rare for us Aussies 😔
Cheers Matt & Andy! 👍 Ah yes, Sectaurs - glad the spider hand puppet was in a plastic bag, wouldn't have picked it up otherwise LOL Very pleased with the pickups, both those lines not that easy to find in the UK either!!
For me the best toys in the vid the centurions great to see what Sandown has to offer
Yeah, Centurions very nice! although becoming more difficult to find complete - also demanding higher prices too these days, at least here in the UK
@@VintageToyRush for me a holy grail cannot find them at reasonable prices
Awesome Dave!!!! Always great seeing your exploits at the toy fairs, and what wicked pick ups!!!!! My favourite is the Rambo!! I was hoping you were gonna tell us the price you paid lol.
But I’m off to message a seller now as I spotted something in your video I need!!!! 😃👍
Cheers Luke!! 👍 You know me, I'm never gonna leave Rambo behind... ha ha I sound like Colonel Trautman 🤣 Now, I'm intrigued by what you saw... but that's why I label the dealers. Several buyers/sellers have made connections from these videos 🤘
Yet another great vid.I would love those Bruce lee vinyles you picked up.
Im hoping to go to the next one.. 1:13
Thanks!! 👍 Yeah, love those Bruce Lee vinyls - never knew such a thing existed. Did you leave a link to the Sectuars spider cause I hate spiders. I collect Sectuars but will never have that in the collection 🤣
Excellent video dude, great to look about with you again. I reckon I would've come away with those Karate Kid figures. It's a line that i seem to be getting fonder of by the day, and I really liked them to begin with!!
Nice pickups, glad you found some more Computer Force!
Have a great week man!
👍🐵
Cheers Dave! 👍 You have impeccable taste... actually those Karate Kid figures had decent prices and one was from series 2. Reminds me though, I need to finish watching the latest Cobra Kai episodes. And Yeah, happy to pick up some Computer Force... my plan is to control the market and make my retirement fund 🤣
Awesome video VTR. Nice acquisitions from the fair. Interesting to see the Thrapston (no e!) stall there. It's about 10 minutes drive away from me, but sadly I don't think they have an actual shop.
This video really gets me excited for the NEC show!
Had no idea Thrapston were so close to you - he had some amazing quirky items 🤘 Roll on the NEC... looking forward to meeting up 👍
Great video chap. Very nice pick ups as well 👍
Cheers Kezz! 👍
Great video Dave, looks like a good day. Those Dune figures looked great. I'd have probably been rummaging for Vintage Star Wars myself, still plenty to collect, and am hunting for a canopy for my AT-AT. That said having watched the Rambo films this Summer I may have been tempted and the A-Team is always calling to me ... I know one day I'll be dipping into those :-)
Thanks Scott! 👍 I really wish I got into the Dune figures years ago - they're decent! Plenty of Star Wars there although Echo may be better shot for something like the canopy. Let me know when you start on Rambo and A-Team - can probably help you out 😎
Great video. Might see you at the NEC at the end of the month
Thanks!! Yep, aiming to be at the NEC - if you see me, say hello 👍
Great video Dave 😎 Great pickups but my eye kept wondering to the ISP-6 mini rig on your desk. My favourite mini rig as a kid. I really must pick one of those up at Echo if I can. Really upset I wasn’t able to get there this time and meet up with you all. Hopefully see you at Echo mate. 🙏
Thanks Martyn! 👍 I've been showing recent pickups on that part of the desk in the last few videos - wondered if anyone noticed LOL The ISP-6 has just arrived from Gary! One of my favourites too. Looking forward to Echo... and your challenge 😎
Great video as always mate, the funny thing is I picked up them Rambo sticker set and thought I’m gonna grab them and gift them to Dave, then got distracted so glad you picked them up lol.
I’m now jealous you have the Pepsi can box computer warrior, although I’m more than happy with my loose one :)
Ha ha! I'll send you an invoice for the Rambo cards 🤣 Yeah, finally got the Pepsi Can and a few others too 👍
@@VintageToyRush sure lol - very cool line, love my Pepsi can
Omg I had that Fall Guy truck! I remember a friend got me one as a birthday present when I was about maybe 5 years old. Never knew what happened to it. I maybe broke it and my mum chucked it away.
Ah man, that's amazing! Never seen those Fall Guy vehicles before. Was tempted! 👍
@VintageToyRush it's the first time I've seen one in over 40 years I bet. So cool that there's a few still out there!
Looks like an amazing toy fair, so much cool stuff 😍
6:44 Logan's Run MOC! Just wondering, is that custom or bona fide vintage? Because I've never seen it before...
Yeah, Sandown is one of my favourite fairs. The Logan's Run cardback is a custom - I believe they customised a Battlestar Galactica figure to go in there 👍
Dave 💪🚬🤠
Cheers Jon! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
💪🤓
🇬🇧🇺🇸💪
Looks like that Dune figure has the same weapon as one of the Thundercat figures (Tuska Warrior)- both by LJN so makes sense on the mold reuse.
Interesting! I know nothing about Thundercats, a line/cartoon I never really got into. But that makes sense 👍
Nice computer force, you got some before, hoping the nec will be as good as
Looking forward to the NEC! 👍 and yeah, am slowly building up a Computer Force/Warriors collection
Fun video dude. Who had those Bill and Ted figures?
Thanks Ollie! 🤘 Nerdbase had the Bill & Ted cards 👍
@@VintageToyRush cheers :)
Just FYI, the crysknife that Paul is holding (with the yellow crossguard) belongs to Rabban. The one that goes to Paul has a small circular handguard painted black with the handle. So Rabban is complete but Paul is missing 2 accessories.
Thanks! I'll dig into some carded pictures. I actually have 3 knives so probably do have the appropriate accessories just not with the correct figs 👍
@@VintageToyRush Ah that's good! They are pricey little things
Was hoping to get to this one, but I have far too many Transformers toys on pre-order right now, so couldn't risk it moneywise :).
Ha!! I've only ever pre-ordered one thing (except for Kickstarters). It was the 3 figure pack for Tron - it never arrived. So I stay clear of them LOL
I have that matchbox news van but on its own not in a set
Nice!! Looks cool 👍
Has the dune figure got the same gun as the thundercats tusker warriors?
Very likely! Someone else commented they do share the same weapon 👍 I'm not really into Thundercats but both are by LJN!
Do you know the toyline at 7.43 ? Cheers!
Silverhawks I think
Yes, Silverhawks 👍 Hardly ever see them at the UK shows, especially complete.
@@VintageToyRush thank you. beautiful figures! don't think I've quite got the funds to be chasing that rainbow!
