When we used to do Star wars weekends,we got all the usual suspects,Jeremy Bulloch,David Prowse,Warwick Davis,but I think my favorite was when I got Billy Dee Williams to sign my Book adaptation of Brian's song.
Oderus Urungus Dave Brockie of GWAR and a bunch of the band's current lineup and some doodles from them. Sexecutioner Chuck Varga just sent me a Christmas gift ❤ one of his new Tiki mugs and it had a sweet personalized autograph. Zack Wylde from Black Label Society. Bam Margera, Brandon Novak skateboarders. Made them both custom decks for their collections. A whole bunch of rock and roll stuff. Ari Lehman First Jason. Ari, Zack Wylde, BAM Margera, Brandon Novak and a few others have my art in their home 😂 I tend to go for photos and memories at cons as opposed to autographs buy I have a few from some movie stars I have had the privilege of spending time talking too and they were kind enough to sign up a photo with their thoughts of our meeting. I actually have a fake autograph from Ernest P Warrel, George Bush Sr haha I also had a real Oliver North photo/autograph as a kid...I used it as a dart board 🤣 Not sure WHY he sent me that photo but I will never forget that. I really want COBRA COMMANDER but he has been dodging me for decades...😂 Sorry to ramble
15:36 There is a man that is truly happy in his work. He got to tick off his book and gave him so much joy. Love this channel and the good vibes it brings.
Man, I love every video these guys put out. The trades, Ryan just talking about the finds he loves, weird comic stories. I love when they go to shows, the parking lot hustles. I love when the old rival store owner comes in, when kids come in with their dads. Every video is just super wholesome and chock full of kick ass toys. It gets bonus points for them not being Pawn Stars greedy assholes lol
Every toy collector on the planet: "I need to go to Toy Federation. You can't find this stuff anywhere else." Ryan: "I go to the gas station 100 feet away to buy my rare toys." 🤣
Ry i just wish your videos were 30 minutes or longer. Can't get enough of your content and checking out your inventory in your store. Incredible brother!
Working in a toy store like this would be both a dream and a nightmare. Mostly a nightmare because I wouldn't be able to talk shit about funko pops in front of customers.
I get it I don’t collect them either but…I did have to get the funko special edition (had to preorder through GameStop) aliens siguorney weaver in the loader…I had to get that as an aliens fan👍🏻
Those pull back toys are fun. And they are small enough to have on an office desk. And yup well opened figure cards that you can display are perfect. Best of both worlds.
Beautiful flagg ship!! I need one of those another awesome video guys love the vintage cant wait till summer when I visit my parents and i get to go to your store
I'm hooked on your channel because I'm amazed at your knowledge of all the different lines of toys. Cause it's so interesting to me even though I only collect vintage Star War figures, and that's hard enough to keep straight. Thank you for the entertainment.
When I was a kid, all there was, was rocks. The green army men came along. When my grandmother was a kid all she had was dirt. And she had to walk miles without shoes avoiding dinosaurs 😂❤
I sold my entire GI Joe lot of carded and loose vintage Joes recently was way to much and I took a BIG loss unfortunately.. guys that run the Pittsburgh toy show came down and bought My entire Collection
As a Gi Joe ARAH collector myself I love it when a fellow collector adds another to their personal collection that is needed. I can totally feel the joy come right through the computer screen. Great content. Thank you for sharing.
That last 2mins of that set build is wild. That'd be the coolest thing to have had as a kid. My brother and I would setup all the sets of lincoln logs, trains, and some hot wheels through out the living room.
I have a Jeremy bullock signed boba fett figure as well as a signed picture of him next to his boba fett costume (it’s very cherished) and he has a great signature..the way he does his J is awesome👍🏻
10:36 We had Toys R us in Hialeah which was next to Miami but i still went to Lionel playworld because they had the biggest Gijoe wall of figures ever.
An interesting fact about GIJoe issue one was there are actually far fewer direct edition copies as there are Newsstand copies , Jim Shooter the EIC at marvel has stated he had to send Newstand editions to comic shops at the time because direct editions had such a lower print run they needed newstands to make up for the shortfall in demand, also at this time the ratio of Newstand to Direct was about 70 / 30 as comic shops were still primarily a rare thing in 1982 especially in rural America.
You just showed you in it for the love of the game. What toy guy in his right mind would get a variant comic, go back to the retailer, and demand a copy with text? Giving up the misprint for a common. Love of the game
Funny, I grew up in Miami and still think of Lionel PlayWorld as my favorite toy store. The two I remember were the one on Coral Way and 87 Ave, and the other in Hialeah. Still have several PlayWorld bags actually. I'm 45 years old and still collecting till this day. I drive by the shopping center all the time and imagine that PlayWorld where it once stood.
Another great episode. I call those 12 backs with the figures you showed that were opened Mock Moc's. How would I go about buying from your store if I see something I like? Thanks
Love the store and love the channel. It’s hard to find sincere people like Ryan and everyone that works there. That alone makes Toy Federation more special than any other toy store I’ve been to.
Great vid as always. I cant believe the variations in Joe's, to get them all is a nightmare. The ship at the end is looking a lot smaller now. I had a friend who had 1 when i was a kid and it seemed massive then. We used to have the aerialbots sitting on it and they looked tiny. Keep up the good work. (1 day im coming to your store)
Can’t wait to make that trip from Florida and visit your store. Do I have to let you guys know when I go and trade some toys in? Or just show up? Thanks for the awesome vids!
Always fun to watch your video and telling stories about the toys you have a great knowledge of your toys and it show that beside being a seller you are a passionate about toy collecting. Too many times I met so called seller/collectors who knew nothing except $$$
i dont think I can have the patience to complete the entire gijoe run or the funds lol. it seems stressful. plus there is so many variants like green gloves Copperhead and all the versions of Steel brigade and yellow neck Serpentor.
Like Kramer once told George Costanza’s father “this episode scratches me right where I itch Frank”! I remember Joe number one was always worth way less than issue number two, and you used to be able to pick it up for 15 bucks in NM condition. Times have changed.
Nothing is more challenging than seeing a blue collar man who could at this stage be almost a grandfather expecting that big return from toys after making a life of it...and all right under the roof of the ailing mother
@@toyfederation my apologize no disrespect just seeing these men come in selling their collection hoping for a major return after making a life of it... reminds me of the father...
What signature do you have!?
David Prowse Darth Vader signature framed and on the wall. Very nice signature.
I am on the lookout for a Jeremy Bulloch.

Jeremy Bulluch ( original boba fett),
You are right on Jeremy Bullochs autograph. I have one when I met him and his wife. He was a true gent. 👍🏻
As a man without the means to re-own the lost toys of my misspent youth, this channel helps me at least revisit my memories. Thanks!
Work hard safe some money and buy not the most expensive you can dude
@@jeroenm1984 congestive heart failure & spinal stenosis with claudication say "nope".
@@jeroenm1984 Health issues prevent that plan, but I agree with the sentiment.
@@michaelstopher1471
I am verry sorry wish you the best
Greetings from the netherlands aka holland
My sentiments exactly. I don’t necessarily want to buy all those cherished toys but I’m glad someone is doing it
15:36 There is a man that is truly happy in his work. He got to tick off his book and gave him so much joy. Love this channel and the good vibes it brings.
Yea!
Honestly seeing Ryan go over a bunch of stuff he just thinks is cool is twice as entertaining as the avarage trade, should be a regular segment.
Man, I love every video these guys put out. The trades, Ryan just talking about the finds he loves, weird comic stories. I love when they go to shows, the parking lot hustles. I love when the old rival store owner comes in, when kids come in with their dads.

It gets bonus points for them not being Pawn Stars greedy assholes lol
@@BlacksburgEV fair enough, it is all good, I just really liked seeing Ryan as a normal collector for a minute, felt like a nice change of pace.
this is great. No scumbagary, no drunk fools, just a vintage buy-swap-sell toy store. Awesome
scumbagary = new favorite word 😂
@adam_collects lol drunk fools?
I love the USS FLAGG time lapse at the end!
Yea!
Every toy collector on the planet: "I need to go to Toy Federation. You can't find this stuff anywhere else."

🤣
Ha
Ry i just wish your videos were 30 minutes or longer. Can't get enough of your content and checking out your inventory in your store. Incredible brother!
LOL at the Barbara Streisand part!
Great right?
Working in a toy store like this would be both a dream and a nightmare.
Mostly a nightmare because I wouldn't be able to talk shit about funko pops in front of customers.
I get it I don’t collect them either but…I did have to get the funko special edition (had to preorder through GameStop) aliens siguorney weaver in the loader…I had to get that as an aliens fan👍🏻
Those pull back toys are fun. And they are small enough to have on an office desk.
And yup well opened figure cards that you can display are perfect. Best of both worlds.
Having the Flagg with every loose Joe/Cobra standing on the deck in display would be a gold mine display
Yes it would!
Beautiful flagg ship!! I need one of those another awesome video guys love the vintage cant wait till summer when I visit my parents and i get to go to your store

Loving how much the inner child came out @11:15
Thanks
When I was a kid, all there was, was rocks. The green army men came along. When my grandmother was a kid all she had was dirt. And she had to walk miles without shoes avoiding dinosaurs 😂❤
You forgot "Uphill, both ways"
Rocks and sticks....... never forget the sticks 😁
Definitely should add more playset building time lapses at the end of your videos!! That was sweet! Keep up the great content fellas!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I sold my entire GI Joe lot of carded and loose vintage Joes recently was way to much and I took a BIG loss unfortunately.. guys that run the Pittsburgh toy show came down and bought My entire Collection
Oh wow!
The time-lapse Flagg building is genius!!! Loved the video guys👍cheers
As a Gi Joe ARAH collector myself I love it when a fellow collector adds another to their personal collection that is needed. I can totally feel the joy come right through the computer screen.
Great content. Thank you for sharing.
Even if signed those funko pops are useless to me lol!
Another fun video. It's always great when you can add a piece or two to your collection.
That last 2mins of that set build is wild. That'd be the coolest thing to have had as a kid. My brother and I would setup all the sets of lincoln logs, trains, and some hot wheels through out the living room.
Love shop videos, and this one had a little bit of everything. I like how the title of the video teased the end. Thanks for a great vid!
Love your channel and I'm not even a toy collector.
That’s so great! How did you find us!?
@@toyfederationthe great Froggy Flips sent me here. I love his channel and he did a video on visiting your store and the rest is history.
Every episode is like a walk down nostalgia ave. Really enjoy it guys. Thanks!
I have a Jeremy bullock signed boba fett figure as well as a signed picture of him next to his boba fett costume (it’s very cherished) and he has a great signature..the way he does his J is awesome👍🏻
10:36 We had Toys R us in Hialeah which was next to Miami but i still went to Lionel playworld because they had the biggest Gijoe wall of figures ever.
That's where Ryan grew up.
I liked the Flag being put together !
Love your new workshop and table!
The HasLab Hiss came with a 6 inch Mickey Mouse Cobra Commander

Shout out from Chris and Zion from Oregon!
That guy with the Joe’s, he brought you some nice stuff. Straight Arms are the best looking figures of all time.
Always cool to watch! Hopefully, some day soon I can hang out and pick a few things over there.
We’re waiting for you!
I always look forward to Saturday now.
Love that!
I had to laugh and feel the pain of "Found out there are 3 versions.....and that's a problem!" Also fantastic pickup of the mickey CC.
Very cool to see some of the figures I was lusting after at Retro Toy Con actually come into the store!
Yall need a quick fold out table or 2 for sorting and appraising in the lobby... doing that on the floor has to be getting old lol
My Saturday morning is complete. Thanks guys!
Morning!
is this for online pvp too?

Nice to know what kind of started you down your path and maybe one day get to see your man cave with your personal collection.
Mickey Mouse Cobra Commander and the Flagg Aircraft Carrier. Love it!! Yo Joe!!!
I love this channel, I love vintage GI Joe but not so available here in the UK, so I’m collecting classified so I can have a decent Joe collection
Another great episode. I call those 12 backs with the figures you showed that were opened Mock Moc's. How would I go about buying from your store if I see something I like? Thanks
Fun gas station find on the pull back. I still have my original Stinger.
Lionel Playworld in Hollywood Fl. I spent a good.part of my childhood in that store too my friend. 😊
Enjoyed the episode as always. Makes for a great Saturday morning!
What is the value of the voltron at 8:51?
Great video. Where's the guys from last week?
Good question!
The FLAGG!!!!! Was that a complete one and did the electronics still work??
Man that RARE FACTORY f up is going too be worth alot later in life i already see the $ 0:41
Haha, it was funny to see him say $800 because you could tell he really wants the deal to work.
Great show as always
Love the show guys, Keep it up. I keep recommending it to peeps I know!
Wow that model at the end was massive. How much does something like that go for?
Is the razor crest the prequels ship? Is its name ever even mentioned in the films?
I really need to visit this store!!
Sweet Dragons Lair shirt! I definitely regret selling my full sized arcade machine of it
Love the store and love the channel. It’s hard to find sincere people like Ryan and everyone that works there. That alone makes Toy Federation more special than any other toy store I’ve been to.
Thanks so much for the kind words and for subscribing to our channel!
That play set at the end is huge
Lionel Playworld in the Westchester Mall!!!!
I want that vintage Flagg so much for my dining table 😆😂😂
Oh, you meant that kind of Flagg! I was wondering how a Mickey Mouse Cobra Commander could incite RUclips's wrath. 🤣
I'm so glad I got to watch the end this episode...so jealous.
That was a nice mm cobra commander , still looking for a lazer pistol for mine
Barbra Streisand 🤣, that look on your face.
Look how fast Ryan can build a Flagg!?!?!?
Great vid as always.
I cant believe the variations in Joe's, to get them all is a nightmare. The ship at the end is looking a lot smaller now. I had a friend who had 1 when i was a kid and it seemed massive then. We used to have the aerialbots sitting on it and they looked tiny.
Keep up the good work.
(1 day im coming to your store)
Can’t wait to make that trip from Florida and visit your store. Do I have to let you guys know when I go and trade some toys in? Or just show up? Thanks for the awesome vids!
Portland Sea Dogs love to see it
A staple!
I miss my shopping bags of joes. Mask. He man. Wwf figures. I love the passion you guys have. So freakin awesome
Almost everything in that man's store I had as a child and at the age that I am now I like watching this
Do you have all the camouflage variants of the original Recondo figure?
Always fun to watch your video and telling stories about the toys you have a great knowledge of your toys and it show that beside being a seller you are a passionate about toy collecting.
Too many times I met so called seller/collectors who knew nothing except $$$
Another great episode! Thanks guys!❤
YOUR SHOW'S KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!! THANK YOU!!! KEEP THEM COMING!!!!❤😂🙏👍
Thank you! Will do!
The Sail Barge is my unicorn.
Is there an ebay store?
Probably a Haslab micky coco from the Skystriker lol
That FLAGG is so nice!
Another Saturday, another video. Cheers! 🥂
Enjoy!
The coolest toy store on the planet!!!!
Do you guys get any terminator Kenner in? I’m looking for a terminator bio-flesh regenerator with a box.
We have them for sure.
Classic army men and tank. That was 90% of my childhood
i dont think I can have the patience to complete the entire gijoe run or the funds lol. it seems stressful. plus there is so many variants like green gloves Copperhead and all the versions of Steel brigade and yellow neck Serpentor.
Hey Ryan Hasbro, coming out with another starduster in the classified line
Cool, it would be neat if they did it as a mail away.
Is the baroness for sale
Best episode yet..OT Star Wars and Joes
The best!? Really?!
Like Kramer once told George Costanza’s father “this episode scratches me right where I itch Frank”! I remember Joe number one was always worth way less than issue number two, and you used to be able to pick it up for 15 bucks in NM condition. Times have changed.
Yes they have
prefer without music for sure.
What are you asking for the barge?
@toyfederation what camera did you use to film this?
Fisher Price!
Just awesomeness getting you're hands on a mickey Mouse.....I been looking for years for 1 of those for my personal collection.....great content
MM are tough ones, I still haven't found one!
