Amazing what you can do with AI these days! Dude thank you so much for all the drives that day it was so great getting to hang with you. Did you see anything in the vid you didn’t see while at the shop?
@dazejason that’s what makes these so fun to do. I discover new things constantly and learn about them but had no clue on the pricing for it. 🤓 next time i’ll try to buy it 😁
So many toys, so little time! I'm a big fan of Crash Dummies, so it was cool to see those boxed vehicles and the Junkyard playset. I'd never seen that Big Frank before, that's sweet!!
I’m from the US I enjoy your videos, the different stores & toy shows, the toy variants, but the best part is the shared knowledge & pure joy of it all thanks keep them coming
@@EdsRetroGeekOut Where I live there isn’t many retro toy stores, & they don’t have that great of a selection of old vintage collectible items it really hard to get certain gems unless I order online from somewhere else. So I enjoy watching your videos, it’s like I’m on the hunt with you & your fellow toy hunters 😁
Ed, the "cow" in the back at 13:50 is the Minotaur from Crossbows and Catapults game. It was like an expansion thing. You put the projectile in between his horns and then it flings it....normally pretty expensive.
The mighty max mail away brings back memories. As a kid I got that one and the Droid invader by saving the tokens on the back of Kellogg’s Coco pop’s cereal boxes. I think you could choose between Mighty Max and Polly Pocket
Sweet we’ve been trying to figure it out and bumped onto those. They had a couple of mail away promotions. So very cool to see it there with the shipper.
I don’t know if anyone’s said it but the bull is from a board game called crossbows and catapults. I’ve got it somewhere it’s arms are meant to move up and down I think. The one I have doesn’t anymore
I love seeing buddies on toy hunts! I miss those days! I still collect but not so much vintage anymore(but still love it and own a lot) so I order online. Glad everyone is finding stuff. I like seeing Mighty Matty in the vids and Andy’s happy face at the end 😂
Watching these makes me realize how much random stuff I had as a kid. We didn't have a lot of money, but my mom was HUGE into yard and garage sales. So, I ended up with a ton of toys that I got simply because she or I liked the way they looked. Probably 75% of the toys I had, I didnt know what toy line or TV show/movie they even came from. So watching these is cool because I often find out a little history to some random figure I had.
The Joker van is from Ertl, I’m surprised to see that in the UK. They made farm toys mainly but jumped on the Batman ‘89 band wagon when the movie came out, no one else was doing it. I had the smaller version as a kid.
@@EdsRetroGeekOut yes I did but I either sold them cheap, donated them or gave them away. One of my biggest regrets tbh. However I bought the SW Micro Machine Collector's Edition (A New Hope) set for £10 last week. I had this set when I was younger and got hit with nostalgia lol.
Love fact you went to Nerd Base & Retro Hunter. - Retro Hunter is like 10 mins from me and Ally who owns it is a great guy. I’m in there pretty much once a week lol
always good stuff. it would be fun to check out all these cool toy sellers in europe. also, gotta give some cool points to your mighty max friend for the "righteous pigs" t-shirt.
I picked that Extreme Dinosaur at a carboot sale for £1 but sold him! Wish I’d kept him for myself now I’m focusing more on collecting grails than making profit 😬
The first store has the top floor dedicated to marvel and dc superheroes with some power rangers and retro games thrown in. Dude I loved seeing that one boxed the JP compound 😎
@Jedi_Daniel i was fortunate to find one at a flea market years ago without the box 🤓 for sure a great set that you could recreate a lot of the movie scenes with. But you’re right you really don’t see it that often. The mobile center playset from the lost world movie is even more uncommon.
@@EdsRetroGeekOutThe Mobile Command Centre is one I would really love in my collection. Likewise with the Compound, never seen it loose or boxed in the wild. Alot of TLW just never made it to Australia unfortunately.
Lmfao 😁 You guys are checking out the games.....I'm gonna go check out the toys. Hellyeah Ed!!!! Matti has been hardcore on those Mighty Max. That's awesome.
@EdsRetroGeekOut That's easy...The Toys!!!! All the way....I mainly like the classic games only. And I usually just buy collections of games or download games to my switch. Toys I'm on....Motu, Transformers, G.i. joe, Go-bots, Rocklords, Sectaurs, Super Naturals, Food Fighters, Tmnt etc. Horror figures!!! Horror and Motu are my top choices
Was at Nerdbase only on 7th Oct and wondered why it was a little empty on the good stuff that day, picked through that same box of mini figures Andy did. Yes that lighting in the game area needs improving, i have to use my phones light as a torch when going through it. Not had any luck haggling on vintage prices there though, prices seem fixed. Seems a influx in Toxic Crusaders, Bucky O'Hare being traded in since the reissues announced. Fortress Of Fangs is rare, Nerdbase only got that in around Aug, never seen another there.
@@EdsRetroGeekOut Id normally agree on the haggle rule in retail stores, however these are second hand items with no RRP where condition / completeness dictates value and are subject to massive price fluctuations / demand changes on eBay.

@EdsRetroGeekOut yeah I recall the comic from back then. And I've been trying to find up the comics too. I collect a lot of 80's stuff. Most of it things I wanted and never got as a kid. I was born in 75 and grew up with all the cool 80's toys and video games.

The Evil Space Aliens from Power Rangers were great, i had that skeleton Bones as well. They looked just like the monsters in the show, good design.
They are pretty sweet but got that sufubi feel so kinda feels cheap compared to the rangers
