Hi, I'm VTR Dave. A Brit on a mission to curate a high-quality and diverse collection of vintage toys, known as the VT aRchive.
A homage to the iconic toys of the 70s & 80s to be shared with as many enthusiasts as possible, right here on this channel. And who knows, perhaps in the future, on display in a public space like a museum. Now, wouldn't that be something!

Wow, boxed vintage Pirates Lego, there's something you don't see every day! Awesome work and brilliant pick-ups as always Dave!
Great video Dave, looks like a good day. Those Dune figures looked great. I'd have probably been rummaging for Vintage Star Wars myself, still plenty to collect, and am hunting for a canopy for my AT-AT. That said having watched the Rambo films this Summer I may have been tempted and the A-Team is always calling to me ... I know one day I'll be dipping into those :-)
Awesome video Dave. So many great items and your pick ups were fantastic as always. Going to look into Crystar because of you, LOL. I can't believe what Vectis Auctions had...Just WOW!
Must of just of missed you at Sandown yesterday. Are you going to Kempton Park next month?
Omg I had that Fall Guy truck! I remember a friend got me one as a birthday present when I was about maybe 5 years old. Never knew what happened to it. I maybe broke it and my mum chucked it away.
Very cool and what a variety they had this go around. I heard some familiar voices there in the background! Great vid and overview as always!!! 👍🏽
Looks like a great show and you got some nice pieces for the collection!
Looks like there were some awesome toys at Sandown this weekend! My favorite three was the carded Fall Guy Truck. The A Team Boxed Corvette and wow! That Matchbox Licensed to kill vehicle set was amazing!! Glad you and the lads had a great time!
Looks like an amazing toy fair, so much cool stuff 😍 6:44 Logan's Run MOC! Just wondering, is that custom or bona fide vintage? Because I've never seen it before...
Talented skill to be able to have the patience and understanding to restore this flying Dragonfly and other items restored. Nice work!
Way to go,Sir Dave.Acquiring another Coleco Rambo action figure.
Cool variety at the show, and some nice finds too. The Computer Force carded figures and items are unique and good to see. Thanks.
Dave 💪🚬🤠
Love your videos. I wish I could fly to the UK to hunt, great stuff in the footage.
Great video as always Dave!
Great pick ups mate and great to meet you today 👍
Great video. Might see you at the NEC at the end of the month
Cool 😎 video!
Great video as always mate, the funny thing is I picked up them Rambo sticker set and thought I’m gonna grab them and gift them to Dave, then got distracted so glad you picked them up lol. I’m now jealous you have the Pepsi can box computer warrior, although I’m more than happy with my loose one :)
Looks like that Dune figure has the same weapon as one of the Thundercat figures (Tuska Warrior)- both by LJN so makes sense on the mold reuse.
Yet another great vid.I would love those Bruce lee vinyles you picked up. Im hoping to go to the next one.. 1:13
Do you know the toyline at 7.43 ? Cheers!
Silverhawks I think
Great video as always. We don´t collect the same stuff but it´s still great fun to watch your videos. Cheers.
Excellent video dude, great to look about with you again. I reckon I would've come away with those Karate Kid figures. It's a line that i seem to be getting fonder of by the day, and I really liked them to begin with!! Nice pickups, glad you found some more Computer Force! Have a great week man! 👍🐵
Awesome Dave!!!! Always great seeing your exploits at the toy fairs, and what wicked pick ups!!!!! My favourite is the Rambo!! I was hoping you were gonna tell us the price you paid lol. But I’m off to message a seller now as I spotted something in your video I need!!!! 😃👍
Love watching your videos always cool calm and collective. Loads and loads of interesting amazing things there. Great video 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😉👍
Great video chap. Very nice pick ups as well 👍
Great video Dave 😎 Great pickups but my eye kept wondering to the ISP-6 mini rig on your desk. My favourite mini rig as a kid. I really must pick one of those up at Echo if I can. Really upset I wasn’t able to get there this time and meet up with you all. Hopefully see you at Echo mate. 🙏
What would you have taken home? As always, thanks for your support... cheers Dave 👍
If the price was reasonable, I'd bring home some of the M.A.S.K. carded figures and boxed sets, as well as a number of the varied brands of carded figures at the show.
Visionaries loved the cartoon and the brief comic run had a lot of the figures too. Only had a couple of supernaturals figures didn’t know much about them.
Only Andy could be cold blooded enough to keep toys in packages.
Ha!! 🤣
I need one bro where I can buy this
Well, to get hold of this old stuff, go to eBay, FB groups, Toy Fairs, .... 👍
Thanks bro
Hi. Have a look to the new 1/12 Ateam van from Ramentoy. It’s perfect for your 6” figures
Nice! I'll definitely take a closer look. Thanks 👍
You are more brave than most! Great Job 👏 ❤
Thanks! I just like taking this stuff apart and seeing how it works 👍
Having all the bounty hunters was the best when I was 12
Fantastic! Collect them all!! 👍
@@VintageToyRush I still have round 30 of them 😁
Great repair 👍🏼
Cheers Kenny! 🤘
Goddd i misss my kight ridder toy car am so getting me another one
Yeah do it!! 🤘
Another masterful repair Dave! Also I am with you 100% on the repro issue. Context is important. Great video mate!
Thanks Nate!! 🤘
You have to use a special clear coat. Alclad II Aqua Gloss coat. It still will dull but much less then with that what you have used.
Thanks! 👍
Another excellent instalment from the VTR library. Brilliant video as always Dave, love watching these, and 100% the correct decision to change that band! Keep doing what you do my friend 👍
Cheers buddy!! 🤘 Maybe, possibly, perhaps there might be a small chance of doing a repro video in the future! Well, maybe not 🤣 Thanks for the support as always 👍
What an awesome restoration! 100% agree on replacement parts of and when they make sense. Super excited about the next one! 😉👍🏽
Cheers Gary! 🤘 I've started the research, gonna be a fun project!! 👍
I've said it before but your nature is so peaceful to watch. I feel like if I was a pigeon I'd wait all day with my family by the park bench just so I can enjoy a breadcrumb from the most pleasant human being in England. Coo... Silliness aside, always a pleasure watching your videos, keep up the excellent work. Ps great pacing as always 🎥 as you film the toys, gives is time to really enjoy them 😊 I uploaded a vid recently, have a nosy if u feel like it, it's only short😊 But no pressure! Take care😄
"I feed the pigeons, I sometimes feed the sparrows too, it gives me a sense of enormous wellbeing. And then I'm happy for the rest of the day, safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it" - your comment reminded me of this classic Blur lyric !! 🤘 Thanks for your kind words and feedback. I will definitely take.a look at your vid!! 👍
Lovely job VTR. Another vintage toy saved! Repro v original, that's an interesting and a very divisive discussion! Things, like you say, are never black and white. What do you want, a toy that's almost broken but factory 'fresh' or a toy that's been repaired with new parts that make it work. For me, I'm with the latter. You'd certainly be a brave man to do a video on the subject!
Thanks Dez!! 👍 I'd love to have a conversation on repro cause I think it's a broad topic touching on all aspects of collecting. But that conversation has always been focused on pro vs anti repro and as you say it that leads to divisive discussion (and abuse) very quickly! 😎
If folk are losing their minds over swapping a laccy band out you really all need to get out more!
It's a minefield!! and you're right, I need to get out more, regardless 😎
Dave 💪🚬🤠
Jon!! 🇬🇧 👌 🇺🇸
Another great one Dave! Keep em coming!
Cheers Flux!! 🤘 Working on the next one already 👍
Maybe you can use some resin glue to fix that wing tear i believe it cures clear
That's a possibility, thanks! 👍
