Vintage TOY HUNTING at Nerd Base UK~ Polly Pocket, My little Pony, She-ra, Carebears - 80s girl toys

[@winifredchan7939]

Finally got sometime to watch your video! I miss your videos and you as well, really enjoy and the price of polly pockets are fair❤ thanks Lau❤

[@disneywithben1501]

I live near Nerdbase, love that shop

[@dollydaylight3437]

Great toy hunting, I enjoyed seeing the Polly pocket finds and then some of the mighty max/he man merchandise too

[@LauSkypainter]

Thank youuu😍 Yes, it was quite overwhelming to see all of this amazing stuff. And then to decide what to spend my money on and not to overspend🤣

[@dollydaylight3437]

@@LauSkypainter I understand that lol :)

[@wendyterry3989]

So glad you had a brilliant time Lau looking forward to your haul xxx

[@LauSkypainter]

Thank you so much 😘😘😘 (btw. the haul is now online ☺)

[@chillkindaguy5]

Yes! an adventure to Battlesbridge!!!

[@Kirschhh_]

Wow! Nerdbase sure had a lot of stuff. Even turtles washi Tape 😂
I was surprised to see the aladin castle next to the Cinderella castle. I didn't know that existed! 😮

[@LauSkypainter]

Yes, the shop is very very cool. Yupp, vintage Turtles Washi tape. Except, it was not called "washi tape" back then😂😂😂
Oh yes, there is also a Beauty and the Beast Castle and several more of the bigger Disney playsets (Mulan, Alice etc.) but as I'm not collecting them, I don't really talk about them on my channel😅

[@RachelRetro]

Oooh the Teeny Weeny Families windmill! It would have been hard for me to resist that! Haha 😂 Pretty plain inside, but soo pretty from the outside. 💗 I think I would have had to get one of those Care Bears magazines as well! 😍 So fun to see so many Polly Pocket items all laid out like that. Such a dream! Haha 😂💕
Mighty Max! 😍😍 The ones with hair are Mighty Max! They’re called Dread Heads/Hairy Heads. They could be clipped on to your backpack or whatever. I think they’re generally not as cared about haha but I’d still love to have some in my collection!
What an awesome store! Such a fun experience. Thank you so much for taking us along with you! 💕💕💕

[@LauSkypainter]

Yes, I mean the windmill directly caught my eye. It is really cute from the outside. But I think it is one of those miniature toylines, that I just don't have space for. When I found the tea pot playset at a flea market a while back, I also decided to leave it there. But the price was really good. So I hope it will find a place with some other collector😉
I was really thinking about picking up at least one of the Care Bear magazines😆. But when I had filmed them, I was already satisfied~ haha.
Sometimes when I have something on camera and know I can show it to you like this, I have the feeling I don't need to buy it anymore😅
Gosh, yes, soooo many Polly Pocket items 🤩🤩🤩 it was sooo hard to choose. I changed my mind so often that day. Put things back, put other things in my cart, only to pick back up the other thing again ~ aaaah
The Mighty Max also were so tempting 😆
Ah ok, so the ones with the hair also belongt to Mighty Max. I was really not sure. Thanks😉
And thank you for your comment💗💗💗 appreciate it so much 💝

[@Rachael8989]

I hope you had a good time in the UK Lau! I live in Essex and never even knew about his Nerdbase! I will have to try and make a visit there! My daughter would go crazy at the Polly Pocket section! 😍💖

[@Emerald_Gaming_]

Yay, i love these toyhunting videos

[@LauSkypainter]

Yeah, me too 😍 that's why I do them~ haha
Thank youuuuu😊💗💗💗

[@esther5726]

😍🥰
incredible place
Windmill is from Teeny weeny families
The pink unicorn had to be "uni verse"
Darth Maul is a "Squinkies" and could be added to jewelry

[@LauSkypainter]

Aaaah, that's what the toyline was called (Teeny Weeny Families) I remembered that one day we found the little tea pot from that toyline at the flea market but I couldn't remember the name.
Which pink unicorn do you mean? In the grab box in the end?
And the tiny Darth Maul goes to "Squinkies"? I have to research that😆 Never heard of this before.
Thank you 😉💗💗💗
And yes, the store was so much fun ❤

[@Marybaeza-gt7cz]

What an awesome store! We have stores like that out here a bit pricey but worth it!! A fun video, thanks!😁

[@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784]

Good to see some women who collect vintage toys, it definitely seems to be a more male dominated hobby on RUclips. Due to the location of those bins at 51:02 i often just skip browsing through them so well done for making the effort

[@LauSkypainter]

Thanks for the comment ✌😉
Yes, absolutely. I mean, I watch a lot of those male toyhunters and vintage toy collectors and I do enjoy the colorful, crazy boy toys from the 80s and 90s as well. But I don't know any women who does the same but for the vintage girl toys. Most female toy collector youtubers are not going out hunting or are just into dolls and new toys or are collecting the same stuff as the men 😂.
That's part of why I do this content. I would love to watch it. So I have to do it myself 😅
I looove digging in bins. Always hoping to find the good stuff hidden under junk 😂 Then it feels extra rewarding when you found something 😋 And I mean, we found some bits and bobs in there ✌

[@Bubi_Blau]

Yeah a new toy hunt! Fun video and I am just half through. What a nice store!

[@LauSkypainter]

Yes, the store is amazing. I wish we had something similar in my area. Or better not 😆 otherwise I would spend all my money there 🤣

[@Bubi_Blau]

​@@LauSkypainter lol yes! Imagine it would be next door... 😄 I already saw so much I would want.

[@mombeach]

What a great video! I wish I could toy hunt with you. Looks like fun! 🎉

[@LauSkypainter]

Thank you soooo much~💗💗💗 I always think that it must be annoying to go toyhunting with me🤣 It takes ages, then people have to wait because I'm filming or even they have to film ME doing the toyhunting. And obviously when 2 people hunting for the same stuff, there is always a little bit of a "rivalry" going on😂 That's why sometimes it's better and easier to go hunting alone at your own speed😉

[@beverlystreight4319]

Another great toy hunting video 😀

[@LauSkypainter]

Thank you so much💝💝💝

[@janiceallen2901]

The BEST 👌 I have been a subscriber for years, and this was just wonderful to see, I would love to visit such a wonderful place! 😘💕 Janice 🇺🇸

[@LauSkypainter]

Thaaaank youuu 😘💋💗💗💗
I'm sure you can find a similar shop somewhere near you. As you are from the US~ there are tons of super cool retro/ vintage toy stores.😉

[@PizzaVoodoo]

What a treat 💝💝 amazing vlog!

[@LauSkypainter]

Thank you so much 😊✌💗💗💗

[@vintagegaudi]

Oh such a fun video I love it 🥰 wish we would have such amazing Stores here 😅
And great finds you have made :)
From the 2 Barbies I think the pink trousers one wore is from pink n pretty barbie so maybe it is her 🤔 and ghe angel face is really cure ☺️
With the Pollys I think I would have gone completly wild and took all😅 always when I find them in the wild my brain is out and I take them ecxept when they are overpriced 😅

[@LauSkypainter]

Thaaank you ^o^
Yeah, there is also nothing comparable to this store where I live. So it is even more fun to visit other places and find such stores there😻
Oh yes, Pink'n Pretty Parbie would make sense. It's the right era and the shiny light pink trousers go to her. So I think you are right!💗
The empty Polly Pocket were really affordably priced but some of the Disney ones and some that had dolls in it, were the typical "online prices". So I could contain myself~ haha
Also I mostly don't pick-up doubles and I had a lot of them already (lucky for my wallet)~
But I understand what you mean🙈

[@vintagegaudi]

@@LauSkypainter Yeah I can imagine that ☺️alway fun to hunt also in other countries 😅☺️ and great if they have that kind of stores ☺️
I only recognise the trousers because I found one lately and remembered it 😅 othetwise I would have said yeah pink trousers 80's dolls 😅🙈
That is amazing when you have the discipline to pass on pollys 👍☺️ but I can understand when they are overpriced and yes when you have them double it makes no sense to buy more ☺️ I did buy 2 Barbies double because I did not remember them and then its like the risk to take it or leave it behind 🙈
But you have found adorable stuff ☺️

[@user-jv4rb8xr6m]

A absolutely beautiful place and a amazing video loved watching it and as i live in England i may have to go and have a look. 😁😉

[@LauSkypainter]

Thank youuuuu 😘💗
Yes, I loved the store. Especially as I don't get to experience similar stores in Germany. I don't know any.
So if you get the chance, head on out there. Even Battlesbridge was worth the visit 😊✌

[@user-jv4rb8xr6m]

Thank you i am definitely going to have to have a look summer holiday trip here we come.x😁

[@tammygabriel5506]

My daughter had the whole collection of Polly Pocket when she was little , then when she grew older she did not want them anymore. We sold them at a Garage sale and I could just kick myself now.

[@LauSkypainter]

Oh yes... you are always smarter afterwards...😅 But if you are not into any sort of toy collecting at that point, then you are not expecting those "random" kids toys to become so collectible and popular 30 years later~ haha

[@s.f.8867]

Interessanter Shop. Ulkig, die billigen Comics waren eingepackt und die teuren nicht. Da klebte das Preisschild dann direkt auf dem Heft.

[@LauSkypainter]

Haha~ hast Recht 😆 wer weiß~ vielleicht hat jemand die Care Bears Hefte schon so dort abgegeben.🤷🏼‍♀️
Der Shop hat aber auch Massenweise "richtige" Comics. Boxenweise. Marvel, DC, Dark Horse usw. Die habe ich um Video glaub ich kaum gefilmt. Ob die in Folie waren oder nicht, weiß ich allerdings nicht 😆

[@elbenstern223]

Tolle Sachen hast du da ergattert,richtig cooles Video🥰😍🤩

[@LauSkypainter]

Danke dir 💖
Ja, ich war so mega froh, dass ich Sachen gefunden habe, die auch wirklich in meine Sammlung passen 🤩

[@LauSkypainter]

Comments are open 😉❤

[@Mallory0410]

Adore you Lau! 😊

[@LauSkypainter]

Awww~ thank you 😶‍🌫💗💗💗

[@charliwebb_]

Hope you enjoyed London! I never hardly find G1 pony's here! I think everyone born in the 80s has twigged they are worth something 😅 💜

[@LauSkypainter]

Thank you, yes I did.😁💕 Are you from London? I also almost never find G1s in the wild where I live. But such a dedicated toy store does not really count as "in the wild" for me.

[@charliwebb_]

@Lau Skypainter I'm from Newcastle upon Tyne in the North of UK but I visit my London friends often! Yeah that's definitely not a wild shop haha - even flea markets and charity shops here I never see them anymore! ♡

[@rewghob]

The UK is not great for toy hunting. Have you ever been in the Netherlands? Some of the people on fb groups from there get great stuff.

[@LauSkypainter]

It's definitely on my bucket list to do some toyhunting in the Netherlands.
But I wouldn't say the UK is bad for toy hunting. Especially in terms of retro/ vintage toy stores and cons, across the country there are some awesome ones as far as I see on other channels.
This is something that Germany does not have to offer at all.
I can't say anything about car boot sales/ flea markets there since I did not have the oportunity to do some.
But yes, the Netherlands seem to have an awesome flea market culture.

[@houstonnettles8504]

Love your My little pony toys so much Sophia MARIA 😇🤓😁💖💜❤️💜🤎💙

[@StealMyCoffin]

Surprised you didnt go to camden market? they have a few collectable toy stalls there and many vintage shops in general!

[@LauSkypainter]

I've visited Camden Market before on other London trips and I like it but in terms of toys never found much. This time I also researched online beforehand and the one vintage toy seller that I wanted to visit in Camden Town apparently has stopped selling in his store and switched to online entirely 😬 So it did not make sense to me to go to Camden Market again. We were also limited on time since the main reason we went over was for STAR WARS Celebration.
But this was almost a year ago so maybe there is more to be found in terms of vintage toys again today in Camden.😉
