Honestly I think I'm still not over Derrick's passing. The guy's huge library of work definitely had an influence on me growing up, and especially now. I think this sums it up though, instead of having those toys and items collect dust, they're going out into the world for new and younger fans to get their enjoyment out of them, it's part of his legacy. Not forgetting him anytime soon, design icon.
I’m glad his toys and merch is going to be enjoyed but other collectors but there is just something sad about his collection sitting in a random toy stores and people going through misc bins of his toys
His visual art style made Teen Titans fun, and my dad and I enjoyed watching several episodes because of Derrick. RIP, Derrick J. Wyatt from East Gotham City (in reference to Atlas roasting his fictional self in season 3).
It’s very rare I see a Transformers fan that’s not as into the toys. I think it’s really nice of you to give some of these incredibly rare stuff to your friend Alex. I’m gonna miss Derrick a lot, his work in Transformers has been monumental and changed the brand for the better.
Derrick’s left us nothing short of damn good memories, good shows, and good stories. Thanks D.J.W, hope you got a big smile and a sketchbook, wherever you are.
Derrick was an unappreciated genius. and only NOW find out that he was a toy collector too. His death will never not hurt, even though we're still able to celebrate what he left us.
What's sad is seeing his collection that must have been a pretty big passion of his broken up, dumped into bins, and pennied out for a fraction of what they're worth (as them belonging to him alone adds some value most people who walk into a toy store wouldn't realize unless told)
I'm honestly trying not to cry after finishing this video because Transformers animated was to show the introduced me to the Transformers franchise and after finding out that Derek J Wight was the one who made it that made me want to meet him but now he's gone and so are my chances as well.
This video is almost ethereal... I have so many emotions and I don't really know how to feel. Every one of Derrick's works mean so much to me it's sad seeing all of his things just kind of be shown like this. I appreciate it just wish derrick himself could have shown it off to us
Honestly bless you for putting all this effort in to try and rescue these things and make a proper video about it. Some of these finds are so cool- I never knew half of this stuff existed!
derrick was a genious, tranformers animated is one of those series that has a charm like no other it dare to do new stuff and new concepts with no fear for the past or future
God this reminds me so much of going through my dads collection when he passed. One of the few comforts is that something someone loved in their life can be truely appreciated even after they're gone.
That handheld video game is something I’ve spent many hours playing with as a kid and I’m surprised any of them still existed at all. Very cool to see it again and especially in Wyatt’s collection too
I still can't believe Derrick is gone. Sometimes someone passing doesnt really sink in until everyone else is left to pick up thr pieces and go through their stuff and whatnot. I LOVE weird tfa merch. The bumblebee bye bye boo boo thingie and the plush trick or treat pails are hilarious and are definitely the crown jewels. It's also very nice of you to send stuff to Alex; I think Derrick's stuff is in good hands in between you guys and the rest of the fans.
Found a graphic novel stamped "From the Estate of Derrick J Wyatt 1972-2021" while comic digging in Burbank. I was at House of Secrets and digging through the way back area, there were some older type graphic novels and I found "Excalibur: Weird War III" , something I didn't know existed but I have started collecting Excalibur. I take it home and lo and behold, DJW liked Excalibur too. I gotta go check out Blast From the Past. I saw that Leader Animated Megatron, I've definitley been wanting one of them.
I hope somewhere Derrick is ok with this. I would hate even after death if people were taking my years worth of collecting away to keep for themselves.
Yes and no, if I had children or family who enjoyed my collection as much as I do I’d give it to them, but if no one was interested then I’d do what D.J.W. Did and give/sell it to someone who can get as much enjoyment out of them as I once did… that is what Optimus would do imo
No but fr, these are some kinda rare figures that belonged to their freaking creator, I really didn't expect to see a bumblebee for 4 bucks and a black Optimus for 24
Hey Keyan Carlile's Transformer Channel, you are extremely lucky to have Wasp as a figure at 10:11. He would be very expensive to sell since he be one of a kind figure.
9:32 someone’s probably pointed it out already, but that looks more like a Cartoon Network Nood. I never knew they made real life vinyl figures of those!
I have to give you a huge thank you- I saw your original tweet and hadn't been to Blast From The Past for a few weeks. Now I go basically weekly to see what's new from Derricks collection- so far I've gotten Bulkhead, Ratchet, Wreck Gar, Battle Begins Optimus and Megatron and Deluxe Megatron from the WFC game. Now it's basically part of my Saturdat routine to go visit, looks through the bins and get something of Derricks
The Nemesis Prime Animated figure?!!! So lucky I've always wanted that I have a box of Animated figures it's the series where I really focused on getting the characters. Would love a chance to get that Nemesis Prime figure and it was just like 25$ that's a good deal then I hear him say he doesn't care about the figures and and my jaw drops like what's wrong with you XD . Also didn't know that Prowl elate garud figure existed
Too bad no Black out or Rodimus also i bought like 4 In box Arcee Toy r us exclusives and Ironhides if you know anyone who wants to trade for some transformers I have a whole Attic full im a big collector. The hardest one for me to get was Wreck garr
Hasbro Should release The Rainmakers in their Earthrise Mold F-15 Eagle Repaint just like Earthrise Starscream and The Earthrise 2 pack Sky Warp and ThunderCracker just like they did with the Siege Rainmakers
@@KeyanCarlileTF yes, but to honest I'm not sure if it's from animated it could very well be a generic Optimus ice pack, I'm not really sure where it's at
To think that even Derrick himself had a custom Wasp figure is just nuts. I'm really gonna miss him.
It probably even predates the episode that debuted Wasp
Yes! I ❤ wasp sm, I would sell a limb for that figure.
Honestly I think I'm still not over Derrick's passing. The guy's huge library of work definitely had an influence on me growing up, and especially now. I think this sums it up though, instead of having those toys and items collect dust, they're going out into the world for new and younger fans to get their enjoyment out of them, it's part of his legacy.

Me neither. I didn't follow him close enough to know that he was a toy guy this whole time, and I will be ashamed of that forever
I’m glad his toys and merch is going to be enjoyed but other collectors but there is just something sad about his collection sitting in a random toy stores and people going through misc bins of his toys
I will watch every episode of Transformers Animated in his honor.
His visual art style made Teen Titans fun, and my dad and I enjoyed watching several episodes because of Derrick. RIP, Derrick J. Wyatt from East Gotham City (in reference to Atlas roasting his fictional self in season 3).
@bradtobin839 what about teen formers.
I'd be careful with handling the Swindle figure.
The figure is very infamous for its purple plastic being very fragile.
I can unfortunately attest to this.
Hopefully someone with 3D printing experience can design us some replacement parts.
@@toysmostwanted there already is and I highly recommend

3:25 That's not Kup. That's Optimus Prime 😜
Hahaha, nice one
Can’t wait to check this store this weekend. ❤
Rest In Peace, DJW. 😔
Really wish I got the chance to meet Derrick he seemed like a cool guy
Me too
May he Rest In Peace
I'm still watching Transformers Animated in memory of him.

Derrick was a very hardcore true transformers fan, his collection is truly something incredible
It is still sad that he is gone but at least his legacy lives on. RIP Derrick. Your collection is seriously cool mate.
A red bulkhead huh? That would have been a good one for his mirror version.
Fully agreed
@@恩陶梁 glad you do
That handheld video game is something I’ve spent many hours playing with as a kid and I’m surprised any of them still existed at all. Very cool to see it again and especially in Wyatt’s collection too
I would love to have the trick or treat ones if they were in stores years ago.

Rest in peace Derrek.
You got animated nemesis prime for 24$!!!! THATS INSANE. It’s limited to 300 pieces worldwide. I paid around 400$ for mine!
Rest In Peace Derrick J. Wyatt.. 😢

@@tristengoetz7911 I guess
Why? Is it not a good feeling to have somebody else cherish these things as much as you did in their own collection?
Holy crap cheap TFA Toys?!
Jokes asides, I can hear in your voice just how much he meant to you. Thank you for sharing this with all of us
No but fr, these are some kinda rare figures that belonged to their freaking creator, I really didn't expect to see a bumblebee for 4 bucks and a black Optimus for 24
It still hurts that he’s gone and I’m glad that he gave us the best show I ever watched and all are one
That was nice of the owners to give you a ride.
sad that animated will never come back now but even sadder that DJW passed away… we lost a real one
I think the customs could have been made by a genius named Andrew green! He had a connection with the late DJW some how think through botcon
R.I.P. Derrick j. Wyatt
I saw that exact same TFA activity book in an airport gift shop in Orlando, FL (summer of 2011)
Hey Keyan Carlile's Transformer Channel, you are extremely lucky to have Wasp as a figure at 10:11. He would be very expensive to sell since he be one of a kind figure.
DJW always a legend RIP
A custom Wasp. What I would give to own that.
Now I really wish I should've gotten some of his Collection for my Transformers Synergy series.
That swindle for 15 bucks is a score
I definitely want the cups
those are Q Transformers. Lockdown’s deco is based on his animated appearance instead of his movie deco
Glorious absolutely deserves all the stuff you're giving him, and i know Derrick wanted nothing more than for his toys to be given to his fans
9:32 someone’s probably pointed it out already, but that looks more like a Cartoon Network Nood. I never knew they made real life vinyl figures of those!
Aw that's very cool. I was curious where his stuff ended up! ♥️

Let me know if you see Nemesis Prime’s weapons while you’re there!
0:06 Rest in peace
Derick. J Wayatt: The main character from Transformers Animated is Bumblebee, because i like him
Thank you for sharing this 🖤
The Nemesis Prime Animated figure?!!! So lucky I've always wanted that I have a box of Animated figures it's the series where I really focused on getting the characters.
Would love a chance to get that Nemesis Prime figure and it was just like 25$ that's a good deal then I hear him say he doesn't care about the figures and and my jaw drops like what's wrong with you XD .
Also didn't know that Prowl elate garud figure existed
Wow. For fans of both transformers and Power Rangers, we lost two legends. One for each franchise. All in the same year.
Too bad no Black out or Rodimus also i bought like 4 In box Arcee Toy r us exclusives and Ironhides if you know anyone who wants to trade for some transformers I have a whole Attic full im a big collector. The hardest one for me to get was Wreck garr
I wish to complete the animated toy line but nothing compares to having all the prototype/unreleased stuff that I’ll never obtain 😞
Hasbro Should release The Rainmakers in their Earthrise Mold F-15 Eagle Repaint just like Earthrise Starscream and The Earthrise 2 pack Sky Warp and ThunderCracker just like they did with the Siege Rainmakers
2:53 I used to have the handheld game, but I gave it away.
That’s dope
2:57 the figures don't look that bad.
Okay so off the rip, I really feel like Wyatt's collection belongs in a museum, if you feel me.
I’m going miss this guy
I hated the idea of TFA. Then it became one of my favorite versions on Transformers. He'll be missed.
0:52 Some random Transformer-adjacents like Death Garrigun and Tobot C.
I bought that Death Garrigun yesterday lol. I had to have it as soon as I watched this video.
I saw that custom Wasp and I figured it was his
Very sad. He will be missed.
bummer I live far from burbank I also had a transformers animated thermos but lost it. I got it from middle school
Keyan will took over Transformers Animated Srason 4. PLEASE DO ITTT!!!!.😃😃😃
Man this is amazing.... but there is still one thing I am wondering about.
Rip djw😢 - SAVE ME A VOYAGE BULKHEAD OR PRIME
Wish I had a piece of his collection
God, I miss Derrick.
I know I’m saying something crazy, his sister might still have some drawings somewhere.
Will there be TFA Astrotrain?
12:21 I used to have that bumblebee, but I think I broke him as a kid.
I got turbo boosters 3mm but they're yellow my transclear plastic ones are glued to prototype booster adapters.
Nooooooooooooooo! I'm going there immediately
I used to have swindle, but he broke.
russian bulkhead thats funny but yeah rip derrick i miss him too
Only have Lockdown and Ratchet.
First of all o7 Derrick, but also how much for that black soundwave? Lol
i wonder y they diden't to what avitar did for season 4 and just make em into comics. i would love to read those
Maybe a letter could he writen. I am also curious if there was any other ideas he wrote down but never shared.
Wow, you’re lucky.
I’m jealous
You knees ever get tired from alex?
How you throw them ouch.
I live kinda close to the store
dude dennis Moulton mentioned of The pilot I told him you have it but not allot paid attention so 🤷 🤔 just hope the fans wouldn't knockdown the door
You should have Tara Strong sign your sari toy.
Is it just me or are these things likely to sell for a lot of money?
Dude! I want to watch TRansformers content not cry!
13:58 Ben 10 omniverse!
Aye yo I’ll take your entire stock I’m serious I’ll take them all name your price
I wish I could read so I could understand wtf people are saying in the comments
This comment is satire
I will offer you 100 usd for the wasp figure.
I have the Optimus
The Optimus ice pack?
@@KeyanCarlileTF yes, but to honest I'm not sure if it's from animated it could very well be a generic Optimus ice pack, I'm not really sure where it's at
