- Decided to make some changes to my unpacking videos and just make them my latest toy haul videos. I hope that´s ok.
In the video I mention a great website for 1/72 scale plastic toy soldiers.
Here´s the link to that:

Here´s also a link to the Revell German Engineers on that site:

I started a Facebook group dedicated to late 60s-70s toys and toys soldiers focusing on the memories and nostaliga they bring.

1/72 Esci were my favourite toy soldiers. Better for large scale battles…and a huge range.
Jerry part of the fun is watching you opening the packaging it makes your channel unique and the anticipation of what’s in the package😊
I think I will go back to that after the feedback I have got from you and a bunch of other people. Thanks man.
WELL DONE VIDEO AND GREAT HAUL SIR,I TOLD MY KIDS TO SELL ALL MY SOLDIERS AND MODEL KITS CHEAP WHEN I GONE.I ONLY HOPE WHOEVER GET THEM, ENJOYED THEM AS MUCH AS I DO. TAKE CARE
Bro why are you yelling
COMPUTER AND I ARE BOTH OLD AND BROKEN ,TAKE CARE@@thecoolratsofficialyoutube2720
These videos are a joy to behold. Sobering to think how old us 1970s dudes got, how did that happen?
Thanks! Well time moves on.
Missed the unpacking and watching the items revealed.Reminds me of Christmas as a kid.
Enjoyed it though.Happy days.🏴🇬🇧👍🫶
Thanks for the input. I`m gonna have to think this over.
@@toysoldiernostalgiaJust keep the pile of purchases out of camera shot and reveal an item (or group of related purchases) one at a time?
another cool video ! ps there are actually over 50 Airfix games..mainly board games but some like Bagatelle, Solitaire,...and of course just like the kit range and the soldiers, some are available in different packaging styles😁
Oh no, that many. This is gonna get expensive :)
Hello from Finland👋 I like very much yours video👌
Kitos!
@@toysoldiernostalgia ole hyvä!
I want to see more of the blue box sets.
I never saw these in the US as a kid.
I’m gonna make a video on the ones I have.
@@toysoldiernostalgia great, I look forward to it.
You get the best stuff! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for hanging out :)
Great video
Thanks.
Great video and finds! I love plastic soldiers review website since early 2000
I got Flight Deck for Christmas 1975 I think. I dont remember playing with it that much in 1976 though. 😀
I guess it was fun a few times then it kinda get repetetive.
@@toysoldiernostalgia pretty much yes, that was it exactly. I moved on to Action Man and Six million dollar man figures.
Excellent. Thank you for this.
Thanks man :)
Always wanted the Flight Deck as a kid can still remember the TV ad for it
I nagged my parents for the Flight Deck. Such a powerful ad. Father Christmas never brought one. When I learned that a friend of mine got one for his birthday, I just had to try the toy..
What a disappointment. Take off. Land. Repeat.
And that was all it did. No skill required. No flashing lights. No sounds. No Action Features. No missiles. Just a very basic plastic Phantom. Up, Down, Done.
It got boring very fast.
(I still want one though).
That´s what I figured from just looking at the instructions. I guess it would have become boring quit fast. But that said I think I would have used the control panel and stick a lot and just played like I was a fighter jet pilot.
@@toysoldiernostalgia This was only my opinion. I would probably have done the same as you and made my own Aircraft Dashboard. I am looking forward to seeing you play with this old toy.
Decimalisation in Great Britain took place in early 1971. 89p would be the equivalent of; 7/- 5d. (That's 7 Shillings and 5 Pence), said as 7 and 5. or written in shorthand 7/5.
That would be a lot of money for 1971. My best guess would be that your 89p (89 New Pence) Toy would be post Oil Crisis (1974) i.e. the mid-1970s onwards. Perhaps 1976 to 1978.
I hope someone else can double-check my guesstimate for you.
Fantastic toy's I was wondering how much time do you get to play with them...😅
As I´m a very serious adult I do not play with toys.................;)
@@toysoldiernostalgialol - that's what we all say!
Seriously though, you get these items from your childhood because you're nostalgic for the way that they made you feel (and the fun you used to have playing with them) but when you get them you can't recreate it because you're no longer that child.....
Hope that makes sense - I'm off to rampage my way through the prehistoric world that is my overgrown garden with my Aurora Prehistoric Scenes Allosaurus.....😊
@@jeffholt9437 these days I get my kicks just setting them up kinda like I would have as a kid. Then I can just imagine how the set up would have played out.
On Monday I had some old 1995 Burger King Disney army men toys delivered from Ebay.
Flight Deck's main problem (once you get it working) is getting the Phantom Jet up in the air to begin the landing. An assistant to take turns with is helpful. This was solved (sort of) with Super Flight Deck.
I want to get the Super Flight Deck so I can compare.
@@toysoldiernostalgia it's problematic because the main part of super flight deck was a huge rubber band which operated the catapult this exerted huge force on the toy (particularly the connection between the f4 and the deck) and also perished so getting a working model isn't that easy.
I remember those girl-legos.
I might have had a set. I think it was just a family of figures. Not sure.
I had the moon-lander which used the same figures. That was a big cool set.
I think I had the moon lander as well can`t remeber for sure. Think I got it when we were in Legoland.
@@toysoldiernostalgia That's funny, I got the moon lander when we were on summer holiday.
Love the LEGO's, I had some of thoes back then. Absolutely Love all Airfix. Well done video
Did you have those different rooms?
@@toysoldiernostalgia Had one or two rooms and a few smaller sets. Because I mostly collected Rum(Space) Lego. There I have almost all the sets from the first series with white and red figures. And I still have them. All other Lego has been sold.
@@jesperpedersen6589 the old Lego space sets were so cool.
Enjoyed the video but to be honest didn’t mind your other format. Liked the commentary building up the opening, then the reveal and finally the back story as to why you bought the item and what it meant/means to you. Each package was a surprise as you got to it. I’ll still watch but here’s a vote for the occasional cutting the package open unboxing as well. Cheers!
Great thanks for the feedback. I`m still up in the air on how I want to do these videos.
I like the unpacking, we dont have to rush through the toys.
@@ropeburnsrussell exactly, like Christmas morning from across the pond :)))
It's hard to think Leggo was a third division toy back in the 70s. I completely ignored it as a child. Fast forward to now my nephew is can't get enough of it.
Here in Sweden it was huge already back in the early 70s. I went to Legoland in Denmark for the first time in 1975.
I'm afraid the you are right about Flight Deck. It was very disappointing.
I remember the advert and how much I wanted a set for Christmas.
I didn't get one and was so sad, but my friend did and I remember thinking that it was a bit of a waste of time.
I remember the flight deck missed out on that poor mom she just couldn't afford it
98p, definitely sounds more 1980’s in pricing than 70’s. Back when I started school my school dinners for the whole week were under 60p!
Coll, thanks for the info. Blue Box has made all these toys during such a long time so it´s hard to realy know if they are 70s or 80s as they are all the same.
I figured anything without a barcode should be before 1985-86 something. At least if they are made in Hong Kong or China.
Agreed early 80's. School dinners were subsidised though so probably not the best comparison. However around that time a chart 7" single could be bought for 99p or less
Nice haul
Thanks :)
@@toysoldiernostalgia you are welcome.
There is a YT channel - Robert Gagne- and he has a massive collection of Airfix which he used to buy in the US when he was a kid. It's likely Airfix soldiers went through MPC as they sold a lot of Airfix kits. The cent price was probably a US production -quite a few may have appeared in US Army PX stores. 98p for the Blue Box toys seems right nice copies of Herald/Britains figures
Thanks for the heads up on Robert Gagne. I went and subscribed to his channel.
98p probably sits in the 70s / 80s ok, forcthe Bluebox toys as some of the Matchbox kits were around that price bracket for the cheaper ones and perhaps £1.50 for the bigger examples. 😊
Great thanks 😀
Lego certainly 70's, my sister had a set in that range, I forget which one but it wasn't one of those you have there.
Great job done, man!
By the way, do you have Exin Castillos from Spain? Sets to build castles from little blocks, you know.
I always wanted it as a kid, have only small one because they were wuite expensive.
Yes I have the same set with box that I had as a kid. Took a while to find one but I eventually did. I have a video on it on my channel.
I wonder if the Airfix 1959 boxes with the 50c were early export boxes for the US. Re-boxed Airfix kits were sold in the US by MPC in the 1960s, so those boxes may have been among the first exported to the US before MPC took over. I remember getting a kit builder around 1977/78.That started my first serious attempts at modelling, rather than just putting kits together without painting. Was also the start of my hate/hate relationship with enamel paints! Didn't discover acrylics till the late 1980s.
I´m gonna have to do some research on those boxes.
Flight deck; the toy that took hours to set up before you got to play with it for 40 seconds before the line broke. And super flight deck which took even longer to set up and broke even faster.
Wow thanks again for your video Jerry! I love looking at your ever growing collection! I have to ask if you live in a massive house because you buy so much stuff, I don't know how you fit it? Maybe you're planning to move into a mansion? Haha, thanks again buddy I love the videos!
Thanks for all the nice comments. I live in a three bedroom flat and there´s toys pretty much everywere :)
98p sounds like mid to late 1980's prices I remember boxes of Airfix 1/32 scale soldiers being 35p around 1977
Great. Thanks :)
Looked like a Woolworths price sticker. "That's the wonder of Woolies"
Very cool stuff! Do you have any of the 70’s era Evil kenevel? Stuff ?
I don´t have any Kenevel stuff. Were they great toys?
Yes they were I had the stunt cycle with his trailer that came with a ramp so you could jump is bus. They have re released the stunt cycle you can find videos on you tube . ✌Canada✌
This guy must have the most understanding wife in the world. Where did you find her?
I have a girlfriend that is the best. When she stays with me she says it´s like living in a toy shop. No complaints :)
98p is probably about right, I was paying £1.25 for Star Wars figures in 1982.
So maybe late 70s early 80s.
Yes, not too much earlier. But even then Star Wars had the licence markup. Action Force were a good deal cheaper.
I was lucky enough to have Super flight deck....not sure what the difference was..The colour of the aircraft was better in the original.
I think its still at my parents house
I think on the Super Flight Deck you also launched the aircraft.
@@toysoldiernostalgia you sre correct ....next time im at the folks ill dig it out.Got a big garden now .😀
Have you heard of PLASTIC WARRIOR magazine ? For collectors of plastic figures
Yes I´ve heard of it but have not got any of them yet.
@@toysoldiernostalgia you should subscribe, it's right up your street
This must be an earlier video. But it's great as usual lots of nice classic toys. Most I haven't seen before. I used to like Lego but not much anymore. I only used Lego when I was making a building for my soldiers and walls to hide behind also. Nise video as always. Sad faces is because I don't have any of those nice toys anymore.🙁😣👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️
I filmed it this week so not very early :)
@@toysoldiernostalgia From George. Sorry I thought it was an early video. Thanks for clarifying that. Good show. I still collect model kits and figures that are made currently. That's action figures by brand called Neca. It's to do with movie characters. And the odd Aircraft model here and there. My latest two items is a 1/48 scale F-4 Phantom by Italeri multi national markings in service with and I'm waiting for a diecast model 1/43 Truck and fuel tanker1955 Peterbilt 281. This is a movie Truck from a 1970s Steven Spielberg movie called 'Duel'. It's impressive I love the film so I looked for it and bought. I payed a lot. But as you know yourself we just have to have somethings we want when it comes to toys especially. Good to see those loads of boxes unpacked.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️
