To get a Holy Grail item to a collection is so cool! I'm happy for you Tony! You deserve this! It shows the type of person you are and what you mean to your fans and friends!
Wow! What a beautiful gift to you Tony! MVargo, dude! Outstanding man! So cool to see you finally get one Tony! Enjoy that thing and I can’t wait to see the video!
The looks on your face each time you unwrapped a figure and then realized there was a WHALE in the box were priceless. You had the, "Are fu#&ing kidding me!" look. Congrats on adding the W.H.A.L.E. to the collection. Look forward to the review video. Cheers.
Wow! The WHALE. What a gift! I'll never forget that afternoon back in 1984 when my mom convinced me to spend the $27 I saved on "lots of smaller things" instead of buying the WHALE. I've regretted it ever since. I evetually started restoring one I bought a few years back but I'm still not done.
As soon as I saw that bag of missiles in your hand I new exactly what was in the bottom of that box, lol. I also have one from when I was a kid, still mostly complete though a couple pieces are broken and need replacement. Still love it though, my brother and I got hundreds of hours of fun out of the Whale. 100% easily one of the top 5 best Joe vehicles ever. I totally understand your loss for words at being gifted such a rare and mint condition item as this. That's just awesome. =D
Tundra Stalker was my one and only Stalker I had as a kid. I loved that figure and with his kayak, mask and weapons made him awesome to play with as a kid. What a great bunch of Joes to be gifted!
That's a great mystery box! Ripcord was my first Joe figure as a kid, and every time I see one it brings back all those cool kid birthday party memories. Love the Whale! My friend gave me his when he moved during childhood and while of course it didn't have all the pieces, it still got my Joes from Point A to B. That's a great centerpiece for your Joes!
Awesome score Tony and what generosity from Vargo, super cool. Man it feels like yesterday when I was playing with the Whale in the bathtub lol, such an amazing vehicle. I’m sure they would HasLab a new version of the Whale, in either scale, but I would really love to see the Whale come back out. TerrorDrome and Whale are my 2 favorite Joe items outside of the figures themselves.
Great score. My dumb ass gave my childhood whale to my cousin a year ago. Boy do I regret that. I would never ask for it back but I sure do miss having it since I’ve really enjoyed digging all my Joes out of storage at my parents house. Great video Tony.
I got the Whale right after an amazing Christmas with money relatives sent . Right after my little brother did the same at Thrifty drug store .(western USA ) I still remember sleeping in a tent we got for Christmas and enjoying our new Whales . Nothing better than that memory . I have a great replacement Whale now and another half way there . Thx !
Awesome video Tony. Needed something positive today and that just did it! You just unboxed my childhood! I remember playing with that in the bath! Amazing generosity.
😁 By far - the best unboxing video I have ever seen! I'm a vet too - seeing the emotion on your face as you were going thru this truly amazing gift box was truly priceless! Congrats on being an ever growing part of 'real' people who enjoy collecting and have the ability to be articulate it about on RUclips. Subscribed! 👍
What an absolutely incredible package. Each item an excellent addition to any collection, combined a legendary gift! Congratulations to the newlyweds wishing you all the best. Cheers!
In the GI Joe world only two vintage toys I ever hear said in same sentence when it comes to Joe grails: Aircraft carrier and a complete whale. That's one very rare true Grail you got there. From a true friend.
Wow the utter shock and joy on your face Tony and lost for words now that takes a lot lol defo an awesome toy and very much a grail moment. I agree it's the gi joe equivalent to the millennium falcon. I'm on the look out for one but a beater at car boot sales as I never had that as a child ,it came out just as I started to stop playing with toys. roll on the review. As always awesome content keep up the great work
Christmas came early for you! That was an incredible unboxing video and well deserved. The Whale is one of my favourite GI Joe vehicles and I'm really looking forward to a review video...
No lie, I am genuinely a little jealous of that Killer W.H.A.L.E. That's not to say that Tony doesn't deserve it, he does. While I'm sure I'm not the first to state as such, I suppose that feeling of Christmas morning joy can be experienced at any age and at any point in time.
Was lucky enough to have a whale when I was a kid. That and the sea platform. They were the most played with vehicles I had by far lol. That’s awesome you have a whale now
So wonderful Brother. Congratulations on Your Vintage Toy Gold. Very Cool gifts. Thanks always for sharing Your passion and adventures. From Toronto Ontario Canada 😀 👍 ❤️ 🌎♥️🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯💯💯
Has anyone else noticed, that Hasbro's price increases have matched what consumers have been paying plus tax each time? 19.99 plus tax 22-23. Hasbro goes to 22.99. 22.99 plus tax 24-25, Hasbro goes to 24.99. 24.99 plus tax 26-27, Hasbro goes to 26.99. Next will be 26.99 plus tax, 30-32, Hasbro will go to 30 or 31.99, Deluxes will go to 35 or 37.99. If you buy it, pay the taxes they see it as the consumers are willing to pay that, so let's raise prices.
11:05 It's not an authentic WHALE unless it breaks straight out of the packaging. 😄 (My childhood one had 2 broken bits straight out of the box.) On a serious note, this was a hellacious, generous gift box!
I can't find a good condition whale for love nor money , I don't like jealousy however I have to admit , I'm jealous watching this , although its lovely to see the genuine joy on your face , the authenticity of your video content is awesome ,and it's obvious to all watching that we get to see the authentic ,genuine real you , not some screen version that's doesn't represent who you are . That's why I keep watching , I don't comment often or get involved with livestream chats etc etc , I just want to say I really love this channel , great reviews on lots of different collectables and most importantly the honest opinions given , That was a bit long winded , keep up the fantastic work .
First time ever comment on anything website...Wow I wasn't aware the whale is like the holy grail... I have 2 mint condition..I loved playing with it when I was a child...now wife gets upset becuase it takes up space on the shelf lol...thank you for dedication on your video stream... now i know about the whale and knowing is half the battle...G.I. Joe..
i have thought about making a toy channel before, mostly stopped by having absolutely no knowledge or experience at all in editing and so on and having no equipment. but yeah if i ever do make a channel and it were to get at all popular would be TERRINLE at doing unboxing videos. i am just a VERY reserved person and i do not react at east not publicly and that would make me feel terrible if someone sent me some really cool stuff, but likewise i would feel really cringe if i tried to put on a show about it. which is kind of weird because i enjoy giving people i like things that i know they have wanted. i also wouldnt want to do unboxing videos because frankly people may send me really cool stuff but i spend a decent amount of time just getting rid of things i dont actually want or have room for. now i would feel bad having something given to me that i dont really want and perhaps have even gotten rid of already because i have focused my collection more. anyway im not sure why i am rambling like this, about me me me. congrats on the grail Tony. and great gift MVargo97.
Congratulations too all on wedding and whale. There you go make a video of you setting up the toy with parts of the wedding inserted you can call it the wedding in the whale lol again congratulations
I’m glad it finally got there. I sent it two days after the Big Ben box. It just took another month to get there 😅
You’re very generous. As a viewer, I really enjoyed watching the unboxing and the effect your generosity had. Thank you 🙏
Mike got Tony over there about to shed a tear🥺
You really pulled out all the stops Mvargo
Congrats to you as well...
What a super gesture for friend and fellow collector. Guarantee he was dancing around his house after video.................
To get a Holy Grail item to a collection is so cool! I'm happy for you Tony! You deserve this! It shows the type of person you are and what you mean to your fans and friends!
This is what makes our community fantastic. Generosity rarely seen in the world today. Made my day thanks Michael and Tony.
HOLY WHAT THE HECK?!?!
Man that's just awesome gift.. What a super cool dude. Congrats to him and his wife.
Wow! Awesome box of goodies! That Whale is a fantastic looking toy.
Well played Mike and many congrats on your wedding. Much love to you both.
Great box of stuff! Especially Cutter and the Whale. Also - congrats on the wedding MVargo!
Wow! What a beautiful gift to you Tony! MVargo, dude! Outstanding man! So cool to see you finally get one Tony! Enjoy that thing and I can’t wait to see the video!
Wow! Man my jaw hit the floor as soon as you held up the scout cycle! Enjoy man, that's one I missed as a kid but always wanted.
The looks on your face each time you unwrapped a figure and then realized there was a WHALE in the box were priceless. You had the, "Are fu#&ing kidding me!" look. Congrats on adding the W.H.A.L.E. to the collection. Look forward to the review video.
Cheers.
I can’t wait to see this baby on the Tidal Creek with the Moray in hot pursuit! 💥💥💥
We need more weddings on the channel! Such a great box of gifts! A Whale... OMG
Awesome act of G.I. Joe kindness, from the equally awesome MVargo97.
Great reactions from Tony, too.
Congratulations to MVargo97 and his new wife.
6:21 That's actually topside
That's awesome, this is why I love this community. So jealous, but extremely happy for you Tony.
I love how instinctive Tony's reactions are in this video
Wow! The WHALE. What a gift!
I'll never forget that afternoon back in 1984 when my mom convinced me to spend the $27 I saved on "lots of smaller things" instead of buying the WHALE. I've regretted it ever since. I evetually started restoring one I bought a few years back but I'm still not done.
Wow! It's amazing how generous some folks in this hobby can be. Very happy for you. Also, I am a new subscriber. Thank you for the content!
The Whale is an all time best Christmas present I got. But, some 40 years later in mint condition is amazing. Congratulations.
As soon as I saw that bag of missiles in your hand I new exactly what was in the bottom of that box, lol.

MVargo, you made a certifiable bad ass speechless 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Congratulations Tony! That is PURE 100% AWESOMENESS! I built mine over a year plus timeframe and it was a blast to do. Happy for you dude
Tundra Stalker was my one and only Stalker I had as a kid. I loved that figure and with his kayak, mask and weapons made him awesome to play with as a kid. What a great bunch of Joes to be gifted!

I felt those feelers! Whoa! I said to myself I’d be speechless opening a box like that! One of the best toys ever. Congrats Tony!
Great score. My dumb ass gave my childhood whale to my cousin a year ago. Boy do I regret that. I would never ask for it back but I sure do miss having it since I’ve really enjoyed digging all my Joes out of storage at my parents house. Great video Tony.
Fine quality toys from a top Gent. Lovely. 🤴
The look of wonderment on your face!! Pulled me right in. Clearly a deserving sense of appreciation.

😮 So many childhood favorites in there! (And really looking forward to the classified Torpedo)
I remember having that figure(Stalker) when I was a kid. I don't recall the kayak having a gun on it originally though.
That was so incredibly generous of him. That is amazing, congrats on the new addition to your collection!
I love how you were saying you really wanted a Killer Whale, then boom there it is. I just restored one myself, they are beautiful.
That's actually many of my favorite joes of the entire original run, great gift.
Congrats on the W.H.A.L.E,I still remember getting mine for my birthday back when I was a kid.
There are truly some amazing people in this community
Amazing gifts from m vargo 97. I use to have the whale. Great unboxing Tony.

No lie, I am genuinely a little jealous of that Killer W.H.A.L.E. That's not to say that Tony doesn't deserve it, he does. While I'm sure I'm not the first to state as such, I suppose that feeling of Christmas morning joy can be experienced at any age and at any point in time.
Youre a good man Tony, you 100% deserve all the love others rain down upon you.
I had the Whale for my birthday in the late 80’s or early 90’s from Toys r Us. Such a cool toy I had loads of fun with it🙌🙂
Was lucky enough to have a whale when I was a kid. That and the sea platform. They were the most played with vehicles I had by far lol. That’s awesome you have a whale now
So wonderful Brother. Congratulations on Your Vintage Toy Gold. Very Cool gifts. Thanks always for sharing Your passion and adventures. From Toronto Ontario Canada 😀 👍 ❤️ 🌎♥️🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯💯💯

@@AnalogToys Eh it's a Hasbro license, close enough =p.
Our community has some really great members
My jealousy levels are sky high at the moment !!! Happy for u though Tony 👍
Whaaaaatttt! 😱
Dude.. so good to see this.. and so happy for u. 👌🏼😄
That's awesome. I wanted one of those as a kid, but got the Cobra MORAY instead. Which I thought was a good substitute.
Wow holy 🤩 Yo Joe toys. Congrats MVargo
Incredible unboxing!
Jeez Louise! That is simply amazing!
not Cutter version 2, that is Topside
11:05 It's not an authentic WHALE unless it breaks straight out of the packaging. 😄 (My childhood one had 2 broken bits straight out of the box.)
On a serious note, this was a hellacious, generous gift box!

OMG what an amazing gift! Great video my friend!
Like a kid on Christmas day Tony,Fair play.
You have awesome friends. Hope to be one myself …beautiful gifts. You are loved
The figure with the Navy logo is not Cutter, His name is Topside, Naval combat Landing Ops or something like that.
That one figure is Topside not v2 of Cutter,he came as part of the battle corps line I believe.
Very generous. Awesome toys.
It’s like Christmas morning for you :)
Congratulations! Lucky guy!
Christmas came early for Tony
now we need a will it float? vid.😅😅 congrats.👍👍

Holy flying sh*tballs, that's a hell of a unboxing.
Super lucky dude 👍
