First time watching here but I had to say I love that Nightcrawler with the sword you’ve got on your shelf.
So many people overlook him being a Master Fencer.
Hey welcome to the party pal! Good call on Nightcrawler. I originally only got him to complete the team but he’s actually low key one of the best X figures they’ve made!
I never would've expected Skinny Pete from Breaking Bad to be a British, toy collector.
At the start of 2020 I was being compared to Henry Cavil. Now I'm skinny Pete. This year really did a number on us all.
Lmao
Church!
I recently picked up a TMNT Hex action figure with two left feet! It may not be worth much but it’s really cool to know it escaped the assembly line!
Lol that wouldn't be so rare for Hasbro, their quality control can be a little lacking at times!
Nice consider your self really lucky!
It has to be worth something but definitely more to you
Great video! I’m just getting back into figurines and it has brought me so much joy. Nice Nightmares on Wax playing in the back 😉
OMG same here! Going through some physical issues so i decided to revisit my childhood and happy times. Bought Hot Rod, Arcee, Galen Marek, Wonder Woman, Nightwing, KOTOR game, Mafia game. Like you my friend, it is making me so frikin happy🙂 GREAT VIDEO..SUBBED
Hey good job spotting Nightmares on Wax! Great background music.
Dude that is a fantastic collection you listed there!
Very entertaining Video, thank you. I'd enjoy it even more if you would display more pictures of the models or show them for longer. Keep up the good work ;)
Thanks for watching Dave. I've absolutely taken notice of that advice and in future videos keep focus on the pictures for much longer!
Amazing level of detail in this video!
It's your boy Bleuuuuuu showing some love and you got a great channel love seeing the expensive items
Hey thanks for the love Bleu! :)
Great video, great list, i like your style, quick and to the point, subbed. I'm so happy to get back into the toy market after years. So much happy 🙂😻
Hey thanks Mauigio, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Welcome back to the Toy Market! :)

One of the best things I've ever seen was about 30 years or more ago it was an unopened 12 inch original "Terminator" figure that came with a "rejuvenation unit" so you could actually flay the flesh from the Terminator's battle chassis and then put it in the rejuvenation unit and rejuvenate (remould) it's flesh
It was in a sealed box that was twelve or thirteen inches high and about ten inches wide
There were no windows in the box and my description is from what I can remember from the box art on the outside
At the time I thought this would be the ultimate unopened collectable ever
👋🏽Hello David. Great video and content. Your personality and presentation sucked me in and kept me watching. 😃✌🏽
Thanks Lenny! What I lack in technical accuracy I try to make up for with enthusiasm. Thanks for checking out the video! :)
About Computron, I remember going into my local Woolworths (RIP) and purchasing Strafe who was one of the arms as an individual toy. I remember the card showing on the back that he was a combiner and also showed the other pieces that made up Computron, but I never had any others. So they were available individually too.
I'm hearing that a lot. Maybe they were sold in different formats around the world. Also RIP Woolworths!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour I think so, did they have store exclusives back then perhaps? Cool video btw!
@@vandalworks45 I also had Strafe that I bought as a single carded figure. It was not a store exclusive because I bought mine at a local retailer called Richman Gordman. I had two others (Afterburner and Lightspeed I believe) that I bought as singles. The Computron set was actually quite a bit rarer (in my opinion) and it MIGHT have been an exclusive at Toys R Us. There were store exclusives way back when, but not to the (ridiculous) degree we see now. And PS- I miss Woolworths.
This is true I remember getting the orange cycle guy on his own in the 80's also
We must have grown up in the same area because i bought the motorcycle figure by itself when i was a kid in Irvington NJ don’t remember if it was Woolworth’s
Your videos would be vastly improved if you allowed more time to focus on the slides with the photos of the figures, rather than cut away from them quickly. Less face time please and more time to view and admire the figures that you’re describing. Thanks.
Thank you for the feedback. I very much appreciate that and have already tried to implement exactly that approach :)
are you saying he's too ugly to be on screen all the time? You are rude!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour Rarest wrestling action figures actually Linda McMahon although many believe she's never been released she was actually part of a $199.99 ToysRus exclusive Christmas set with a lot of other wrestlers, Vince,Shane and Stephanie McMahon were also part of this set. Want to say it was 18 figures with weapons and accessories. There's been only a couple found loose and 1 complete set showed off by an online distributor Ringside collectables.had this set in the 90s myself
Agreed. And if making a video on rare toys and high prices, include the price. Kinda lazy.
@@historyofvideogamesandmyop2913 Theres a Hasbro Rhythm N blues Greg Valentine that is extremely rare and Zach Ryder paid over 10,000 for it. I think there are only 2 of them in existence.
I had those original light saber figures. I tore the tips off of the light sabers because it didn’t make sense why they were there. No regrets. Loved playing with them.
That's the spirit my friend! As long as you enjoyed the heck out of them as a kid then that's all that matters!
Cool video dude, awesome energy. You sound a little like Simon Peg, lol
Hey thanks so much Jonas. I've not had that comparison before but I'm a huge Pegg fan!
I still have my two vinyl Jawa's from 1978 and the Australian version had a longer cape and a different colour than the USA version. Another Star Wars figure that was never released on card was the blue snaggle tooth, finding one with perfect silver painted boots is difficult, it also has two version of different feet. My favourites are my shogun Godzilla from 1977, I still have the two versions, one is from the USA and the other was made in Japan...also a perfect in box shogun Mazinga, never played with. Plus 1000's of others, I really need a bigger house.
Oh man i'm going to have to look up those Shogun figures!
We had a vinyl caped Jawa when I was a kid, but we hated it because of the cape, so we had a second one with the cloth cape and for the life of me, I have no clue what happened to either, but if I had of known the value of a vinyl caped Jawa, I would have cherished it for sure.
In regards to why the rocket firing Boba Fett was never released, was some kid choked and I think died from a rocket firing ship toy from the original Battlestar Galactica series.
Thanks for the info Dee. You seem to be spot on about Boba Fett, lots of other folks have mentioned that being the case.
LOVE UR VIDEOS AS ALWAYS!
Aw thanks Po!
I remember getting the Computron box set in Christmas of 1987 or 88. That set in addition to the original Devastator was the only transformers I never got rid of. I’d say my Computron is 85% complete due to missing accessories and one or two of the smaller transformers with a broken/missing head to attach with and wings busted off. I also had the 1985 complete set of Aerialbots that combined with Silverbolt.
Man if I went to school with you I would totally be angling to always come over and play with that Transformers collection!
I wanted the Constructicons/Devastator so badly as a kid. Parents got me Grimlock and Insecticons instead.
Concise and clean. Keep it up. Maybe 15 or 20 long but really well done
Hey thanks so much John. It's true that maybe the one thing I would benefit most from is an editor! :)
Cool video. To the point and very informative. Any info on the Star Trek line?? Maybe ? Lol
I'm a new subscriber. Looking forward to future videos.
Thanks.
Hey welcome to the channel bud. Unfortunately I know very little about Star Trek. I ned to do some research!
Great video. Computron was released singularly though as i brought them when they first came out & still have them 'opened though'.
Hey Thanks for the info bud. Seems it was different in different regions.
I really like the background set up. Those figures and statues all look sick together. Very easy on the eyes
Thanks man, I kept that set up for a while
David saw you on XManny s vid. Shit s sad man... hope my man pulls through! Glad to see there s no stopping you though!! Stay healthy physically and mentally!!!
Loving all the different subjects for vids, very inspired!
@@fitzroy_4272 sad, but hopefully it s for the best for him!
I'm happy that Manny is doing what's right for him. This youtube hobby should feel like a fun escape, not an overbearing commitment. I'm sure Manny is going to do a get job at getting himself sorted and I wouldn't be surprised if we see him back on YT better than ever at some point!
Great video, lots of childhood memories there. I have an 80s boxed GI Joe, lots of original starwars figures and vehicles and some others from He-man and Transformers. Doubt any are from your list though. Oh to be a kid again and what seem like simpler times.
That's the power of nostalgia!
WOW... thank you for taking me back to my childhood. I do remember collecting the Dick Tracy and TMNT for the longest time. Back home in Puerto Rico, it was tough to get some of the figures since the supplier won’t not bring them in if it didn’t sell in the US. No internet so my mom had to call my uncles in the US give them a detailed description and then I would get the toy. I’m pretty sure these and a lot more can be found at random garage sales. You would be surprised the ton of treasures you can come across for a cheap price.
Hi Julio, thanks so much for watching. Man it really makes me appreciate how lucky we are today with online ordering and availability. It's so interesting to hear of other peoples collecting experiences. I'm excited to get back to garage sales and see what treasures I can find!
I’m telling you garage sales around the USA are just full of surprises. Couple of years ago this guy who’s hobby is collecting old photos bought a stack of photos somewhere between Texas and New Mexico. This guy paid not even 20 dollars, but of all the pictures there was one that stood out from the rest. It was a photo that included 6 men one of them wearing a distinctive bowler hat and a lady. After consulting experts and getting the picture enhanced ..he acquired a picture that was showing Billy the Kid and the Regulators in Lincoln County when they first got together.
Wow super cool collection my friend :)
I had Vix and it was awesome! Nice fun video good job
For years of my childhood I had the Masters of the universe movie taped on vhs from tv along with willow on the same tape. :) used to watch it all the time. Great movie! Fun fact, I think “gwildor) or whoever, the little guy with red hair, is the same actor as the town wizard in willow. They have the same voice so I figured that out as a kid lol
MOTU and Willow is an amazing 80's fantasy double bill!
He is also the same actor who played Screwball in Legend. Which is another fantastic fantasy film.
Billy Barty was the actor...he was in so many things. My fav with him is Time Bandits.
Your videos are great you deserve a lot more subscribers
Aw thanks owls. Glad you give you hoot! Thanks for being one of the subscribers!
that was deeper than i thought, ;) .. I was thinking like 2011 Tygra, 2010 Motuc Fisto & Ram Man or Sotu unmasked Vega..always full of surprises David...wasnt able to relate except Toybiz ML, & 90s tmnt figures, but still cool picture of your generation's toys..lol!
Oh yeah, this list went waaaay in to the deep cuts. I mean, Dinosaurcers?!
i’m surprised a vintage MOC scareglow didn’t make this list. keep up the ongoing good work Dave
Time for a new list!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour keep the good stuff coming!
The Cara Dune joke at the end was kind of true. A guy came to my local comic store and bought every Cara Dune figure they had, he told the owner he was buying everyone he could find. Right now people are buying them up but they aren't going to be worth crap down the road.
I have to admit that while I have no idea what the future holds I hope that karma kinda works itself out in this regard!
This was great, some are cheesy looking but I would still love to have them. The package looks awesome
Thanks man. They’re definitely a mixed bunch!
When I was a kid I had all of my dads 80s Star Wars toys. I had an original millennium falcon, Yoda’s hut, a Hoth diorama, a ship from ROTJ specifically for storing the individual figures that was humongous, the slave 1, the original Luke’s Xwing, various troopers and droids and whatnot. My dad put them all in his girlfriend at the time’s house and since she literally never went there and would just stay at my dads all the time the place flooded in the winter and I lost them all.
Ah man the longer I was reading that list of amazing figures I was just waiting for the tragic conclusion and you didn't disappoint. Flood damage! Man I'm sorry to hear that!
Great video and content!
Thank you so much my friend!
I had one of the Mego Spiderman figures back in the 70's and the Superman and Batman ones. Had the massive plastic Batmobile too for the Batman figure. My mum bought them from a huge toyshop in Sheffield called Redgates. Someone told me it was the biggest toyshop in the uk at the time. I remember it being absolutely massive with several floors to it.
Ah man I miss the excitement of running around toy shops!
Great video! What are the tracks playing in the background? I actually taped one of the tunes off of the radio 22 years ago! However, I've never been able to find the song title.
Oh gosh I made this so long ago I’m afraid I’m not sure either!
I had a lot of these toys as a kid, i remember playing like heck with
Computron
Technodrome
Eternia set was the base of the bad guys
Castle greyskull was for the ggod guys
And i had that i think its called snake mountain? From he man, had the rubber snake you wore like a glove! That was a good one too!
When i see how valuable all the toys I had as kid are today is crazy!
Oh and DinoSaucers had a cool intro song!
Right I'm going to jump in to youtube now and look up that theme song!
Wish I had a few of these... Oh well. Great content. 👍
Thanks Marby. I'd Love to have a few on these in my collection too!
Thank you for doing this video.
Good list. Glad i have my computron from many years ago.
Worth holding on to!
I miss toyfair magazine
A classic from the 90’s!
Of all the figures I ever bought, the ones that have probably appreciated the most are the 12-inch sideshow Universal monsters both in color and in black and white. Of course a lot of sideshow 12-in figures sold out very quickly back in the day. I was lucky enough to get multiples of the 12-in creature from the Black lagoon in both color and black and white. I had always wished they would have made those 12 in Universal figures with glow in the dark parts kind of like the old Aurora Universal monster models.
Ah man yes those are classic!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour
I got my Joe's and my Munsters displayed everywhere. I even keep my Hot Wheels tracks out. It's the stuff dreams are made of.
Greatest American Hero?? Love him! Oh and my favorites The Last Star Fighter. Believe there are some prototypes out there.
Those really are some retro classics!
They were going to make last starfighter toys??
I love collecting toys especially action figures, I've been at it since 1996 and there is nothing like owning rare figures. My favorite toys are Godzilla, Jurassic Park and nowadays Fortnite
Those new fortnite figures really do look excellent. I don't even know the characters but the designs are awesome.
How weird I know of you through an old friend and you've been recommended to me by the yt algorithm.
Hey the algorithm is working! Welcome to the channel bud! :)
Hey Dave I just started collecting again and I collect the DC multiverse I have a yondu marvel legend with his little flying arrow thing is that worth anything
Hi Greg. That’s a nice figure. I don’t think it’s crazy expensive.
Cool just wondering getting rid of all legends
Great list!
Thanks Jerry!
I was a very serious collector of 1/6 figures, had over 250, some extremely rare, and a decade ago my home of 23 years burned and destroyed almost all of them. Insurance paid the going rate for each one according to ebay and other auction/sale sites. Got a good ROI, but I would rather have the toys.
Ah man that's a heart breaker. Still thank goodness you were insured! On the bright side it just means you get to enjoy building your collection all over again!
Great video! Couple more that are pretty hard to find is the Mego Black Hole 3.75 Humanoid and S.T.A.R. figures. They were wave two of the figures that were only put out in Canada and Italy because the movie did poorly at the box office and merchandise did not sell well.
Great suggestions!
I actually had a couple of the robot action figures from 'The Black Hole', back in the day. Wish I had been able to talk my mom into buying the space ship, but no luck. Got super lucky in 1985, mom bought me a G 1 "Jetfire" Transformers toy (a direct repaint and repackage of the Takatoku Macross VF - 1 transforming mecha fighter). good times, man
☺
I understood the MacGuyver Simpsons joke immediately. I had seen that classic episode dozens of times. "Aunt Selma has only ONE HOUR to live!!!"
Lol always come here for the deep cute Simpsons references!
When I watched the video came a very old memory of my toys in childhood. And I think I must have Vlix still in my old chest! I need to look for ir...
That's why I love these old retro look backs, so many great memories. And due if you have Vlix that's crazy! I'd love to know if he's actually in that chest of yours!
Do you remember or have the Inspector gadget McDonald’s character that had a bunch of separate parts that made it up?
I never heard of that. Time to do some research!
My little brother had that. It was from the Matthew Broderick film. Neat toy. I had the 80s Galoob one based on the original cartoon. Both are awesome toys!
Maybe Computron was only sold as a box set in the U.K., but in the states they were sold individually as well, as were all combiners. He's no more valuable than any of the other combiners mint in box or loose.
Great review 👏.
Thanks man!
i had the technodrone and it was still in great condition right up till the day my house burned down in 1993 ...taking every one of my huge collection of TMNT toys with it.
Oh man that's heartbreaking! I feel for you!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour i kept most my turtle figures mint even though i was only 9-11, when i hit 11 i just packed them up technodrome too with all it's accessories nothing was missing .. then the house burned down when i was 12. yes it's heart breaking.
Missing allot of figures!!! You can probably do a whole video just on the rare gi joe Brazil and Venezuela line
Time for a updated list!
Very good video really enjoyed it
Hey thanks so much Ian, I had a lot of fun throwing it together!
The ether has alot of stuff trapped in it. Nice video!
Occasionally it will randomly spit them out on the shelf of a second hand store :)
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour Nice 😅🎉🤗
damn i had a technodrome as a kid. this really makes me wish i still had it
Hey at least you enjoyed it as a kid! :)
excellent just found ur channel new sub here
Welcome to the party pal!
How about the alien Kenner from 1979?
And the Enemy Visitor from "V" TV series ??
Great top!!
Great suggestions bud. I’d imagine they’re pretty rare!
ugh, I had the Jawa, Vader, Spider-Man, and Beret GI Joe as a kid.
Ah man, I feel for ya. I've been thee too!
God I can't believe how many of the Mutants Ninja Turtles, Transformers and Star Wars characters I have bought my son's over the year's.
Too bad we don't have the Optimism Prime anymore.
I was surprised that there wasn't and Ghost Busters toys.
We had the car, the station and all the other toys of that line. The power packs the traps. Everything.
I had a Glow in the dark ghost mansion that I loved.
It wasn't popular I wonder if whatever made it glow was that safe.
I was a Christmas gift,1964(?) I can't really remember.
I think it had something to do with the Adams Family, or the Munsters (?).
I can't really remember.
But loved playing with it.
Great segment.
Thanks.
✌❤🇨🇦🐈
Gosh those are some real retro classic you listed there. Man now you mentioned it I'm also surprised at the lack of Ghostbusters. I loved those toys as a kid.
yes!! love figure top lists . 30 is a large amount!! WOW 🏆
make more videos like this? thank you
Definitely more like this to come!
My brother and I both got a transformer one each , the only new in box bug one we ever got as kids we got for Xmas. And I got the two headed dragon from the bad guys, snd he got the big spaceship that was middle of computron. So yah they must’ve been sold separately cuz I remember him opening it
Ah those found like fun childhood memories. I think they must have been sold in different formats around the world.
I thought for sure a Disney The Black Hole Humanoid with boots would have been on the rarity list. I still have mine, as well as Old Bob and STAR.
Ah I haven't heard of that one. Might be time already to make a second list!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour yes, it was another “only released in Canada” figure due to poor sales. Very rare now
By combutron, do you mean the big body guy or the whole set? because i know that the smaller parts were sold seperately for sure. I knew 2 who had the white plane and one guy with the orange bike.
Just picked up that Bishop (BAF) Marvel Legends figure today! probably one of my favorites, Toxic is a close second, with Archangel coming in as well
Yeah Toxin looks awesome!
Wow, this is ONE amazing comment from you there buddy. And we all care because of why?
I had three of those damn vinyl cape jawas in the late 70s.
Rocket firing Boba Fett was never available to the public. I believe there was a high profile story of a child choking on a small toy piece at the time, which forced Kenner to scrap the feature pretty late into the design process. Only prototypes and mock-ups exist, hence the rarity
That makes a lot of sense. It's interesting as many folks claim to have owned him as children. It must be a Mandella affect situation! :)
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour Oh it was so late into production that it was well advertised and photos of the firing rocket figure were everywhere. That's one explanation for why kids would be so familiar with it
The specific toy piece responsible for choking a young boy was a rocket fired from a Battlestar Galactica vehicle. The rocket from the Boba Fett figure was about the same size, shape, and colour as the rocket fired from the BSG vehicle so I am sure that played a big role. (Just think about the legal and financial trouble they would be in if another kid got seriously hurt or worse from a toy part very similar to one that they knew killed another child.)
Mego Robin with a removable mask is rarer than the Mego Spiderman.. Not many were released in the market before they changed Robin with a non-removable mask.. For the marvel legends line, for me the Baf Apocalypse in black variant is the rarest.. You need to find 6 figures the came with the black variant parts.. Love these kinds of vids.. Keep up the great work..
Hey thank you so much for the informative comment and encouragement!
I owned the Green Beret GI Joe as a kid,but as kids do,he got pretty beat up and eventually thrown out.If only I knew then I would have treated him better.
Hey as long as you had fun with him!
Some of these figures are rare and really rare and insanely rare but this would not be my top 30 respectfully of course I appreciate your content I can think of a dozen or more figures that should be on the list
Time for an updated list then!
Be interesting to see what the Cara Dune figure from The Mandolrian will be worth.
Apparently there is some out there there that got made prior to Gina getting fired.
This is definitely one that will be fascinating to see play out.
Makes me glad I got cara for a decent price at the same time the controversy happened with Gina. Probably one of my grail figures along with captain rex
I got one at a show for 20 bucks in mint condition.
Do you have the weapon X wolverine in the halo cryotube?
I sure do. He looks great in there. You can find them on eBay.
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour I may have to steal that idea, It looks great
The original Marion Ravenwood action figure from 1981 and not many released and now worth around $4000 packaged.
I'm surprised the white Boba Fett Prototype didn't make the list.
Was that tidbit about Computron only being in a box set outside of the US..? I bought each piece separately as a kid.
So did I. I was going to message the same thing.
Yeah i'm definitely hearing that loads of people bought them individually. Maybe it was a UK / US thing or maybe the list I read was just plain wrong! :)
In the US Computron was sold as 5 individual figures, as I have Scattershot!
In my opinion Transformers got lazy after the epic 1986 movie, when most happened in space. Nothing had to look like anything anymore and most of the line was written off as “sci-fi” awkward hunks of crap. “How do YOU KNOW what an alien spaceship looks like?”. It took the “Robots in Disguise” completely out of the equation.
Hasbro/Takara also didn’t have to worry about licensing space junk. Even though, I seriously argue, it’s the companies like Nissan, Lamborghini, Walther, Lancia, GM, Chevrolet, Porsche that should have been paying Hasbro/Takara, not the other way around. Silly humans.
That’s so interesting, I never thought how backwards it was that the toys essentially paid to advertise the cars!
I was happy to see Computron/Techonobots here. I have a ScatterShot that belonged to my older cousin. He only had the 1 Technobot and I'm sure there were sold separately
You’re right! I think there was some mixed information
You did a great job with this 📹video🎥and it was very fun, as well as informative, and easy to follow and listen to. My one issue is however, ME! I was a 70's kid. So I had the Mego figures. Even the mail-in Kid Flash, Aqualad, Speedy, and Wonder girl. I remember getting them out of New York. I got Kid Flash and Aqualad first, then Speedy, and I broke down and got Wonder girl too. I had all of the DC and Marvel mego figures. Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, and even Sir Lancelot & the Black ⚫Knight⚫ too. My main toys were Mego, Hot Wheels, and Tyco. Then in 1978 EVERYTHING CHANGED. 🌟Star Wars!🌟 My first two were C3-P0 & R2-D2. Then Luke and Vader. Then Han & Chewie. Next Leia. But the Jawas were so hard to get initially. We had a Toys R Us down the road about 2-3 miles, and we had another smaller store Toy Country USA about 1 mile away. I can remember walking in, we knew the owner. He just sighed and pointed 👉 to the display. One of the tall racks, with multiple pegs that you could rotate in a circle. 5 or 6 pegs high 6 across. There on the middle race sat 4 Jawas. The ones with the plastic capes. I got 2 of them. I remember the joy of FINALLY SEEING THEM! Back then obviously in the 70's we didn't have media at every turn. Pictures of new figures, reviews, etc. You had to wait until you found one or a friend did. I look back at the Mego figures, playsets, Star Wars figures and playsets, and the Hot Wheels cars and tracks I had.......and lost. Just the cases of Star Wars figures I had! OMG! The first one was my favorite. It only held 24-30 figures. It had 2 trays and each had spots for 2 big guys like Vader and Chewie. 2 smaller spots for R2-D2 & R5-D4, & the middle had 8 spots for regular guys. It was set for 12 per tray. But if you tried you'd get a few more. But on the BACK of the trays there were PEGS. Pegs that your figures could be stuck on. You could have them "posed" and the pegs kept them there. It was a cool little extra. The other case was a C3-P0 that held 30 I think? And Vader who also held 30. I'm not sure. It may have been 24 each. But I loved Star Wars and the figures were my new favorite toys. The X-Wing and Tie Fighters were so cool. Luke's Landspeeder was my favorite. I loved Hot Wheels/cars/etc, so that was epic! I never got the Millennium Falcon/Han Solo's ship, and the AT-AT, the Imperial snow walker also was too pricey. I was given a choice over three toys. The Falcon ship, the AT-AT, and what I picked, the Death Star Planet Playset. It had the trash compactor, a big gun on top. 3 levels. I should have gotten the AT-AT. I can remember going out in the winter, and shoveled snow for money. Cleared driveways, sidewalks, etc. Either I'd get $2-3.00 sometimes $5.00, and one dude gave us $0.50 and he had ICE 2"thick! Cheap! LOL! We would go out and make money so we could get a Star Wars figure. Back then 1 driveway could be 1 figure. Maybe. But after a huge storm, I can remember buying 10 figures.
So many memories! So many wonderful memories! Some bad as well but overall for me the 70's were amazing. Great toys, awesome times, cool people who allowed 8, 9, & 10 year old kids to make $20.00-30.00 in a week.
Sadness is all of those toys are gone. Either given away, lost, stolen, foolishly left somewhere. Whatever the reasons, many memories are gone. Now that said, I NEVER have "SCALPED" toys. Meaning I have never bought figures, say Marvel Legends figures or Star Wars Black Series figures with the intent on selling them. Same with Hot Wheels. I NEVER collected or bought them to profit off them. I collected/collecting because I ENJOY IT! The memories are priceless! I've seen fights over toys. Over a case of Hot Wheels? Really? This hobby was a group of great people who love a particular franchise, organization, whatever. A 🚗Car🚗, a 🤖Robot🤖, a 🦹♂️🦹♀️Superhero🦸♂️🦸♀️ , a 🧟♂️🧟villain💂♂️💂, a 🦖Dinosaur🦕, or even a 🐟🐟Fish🐠🐡. Now it's become a HUGE problem. Covid-19 created a lot of jobs lost. It also created opportunities for people to TAKE ADVANTAGE of other people! And boy do they love to do that!
Sorry for the "downer" part. Your video is excellent! Thanks for sharing it with us. Take care!
Hey thank you so much for the wonderfully detailed comment. Though you may have parted with the figures they did for a time provide a whole lot of joy and that is what's most important!
Wouldn't the "Wonder bread" He-Man be rarer and more expensive than Faker? 🤔
I'm not familiar with that figure. He may well be. I was just going from some random list I googled! :)
I think you mean "Wun-Dar the Savage He-Man" , many call him the "Wonder bread" He-Man but that's not the correct name .
Won dar is one of the most mysterious figures ever made...everyone believed that he was a mail away for wonder bread ....he goes for 4000$ easily
@@chrisguss8454 In this video you can hear a little more about him :

$4000 is a little much , you find him arround $700 with luck for $500 or even much less .
@@paluxyl.8682 You can find him on you tube and ebay
I have that Ghost Rider toy,made by Fleetwood. Same card back you showed in the video too.
Oooh nice, now you know he’s worth a few quid too!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour yeah now i do. When i got it it was in the 200-500 dollar range
I have a marvel legends series 2 or 3 I think, it's the one with the hellfire club comic and pedestal with their thugs in it but this particular one has 2 left hands.
I remember that set with the goons. Makes for a fantastic diorama piece!
What about Slash & Samurai Leonardo from the OG TMNT toys or the original die-cast Lion Force Voltron? How rare are those?
I honestly never heard of the Crimson Dawn Psylocke or silver shirted Luke Cage(power man). An awesome educational video, David. No 🐃💩. I used to have a bunch of Mego figures as a kid. If only I kept them on card.
Ah you wouldn't want to have missed out on the fun you must have had playing with them!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour 😁True.......so very true😁.
Holy shit! I have a 90% complete computron. I just grabbed it along with some games I picked up at a yard sale. No idea it was hard to find.
God bless the random yard sale!
Ha!!!!! There is NO way you found one complete at a garage sale dude.....BUT at least you got 3 seconds of fame on here claiming you did. Some people just have NO idea what they're talking about, one of those people are you.
Really surprised you didn’t include anything from Kenner’s Jurassic Park lines. The Carnotaurus “Demon” series II and Thrasher T-Rex from the chaos effect line can both fetch over $1,000 sealed in box!!
Hey great recommendations. Those are definitely going in the next list!
I love the excitement and the enthusiasm. Back in the day, I collected a hell of a lot of 12 in GI Joe's, the Original 18" Kenner Alien figures (I think I have four 18-in figures, three boxed with the instruction sheet), and all kinds of sideshow 12 in figures. I bought all the sideshow Planet of The Apes figures in duplicate. Nice video and very nice presentation.
Thanks so much for watching. I'm glad the passion shines through! :)

No question about that. The problem is, they make so many great figures, it's hard to find room.
I have Computron. Here in the USA we could buy the Technobots separately, which I did. I'll have to see how much it's worth.
Thank you for the info! It seems that they were released in different forms in different regions.
I had the technodrome and shira with horse when I was younger.
Ah man I would have been jealous in the 80’s!
computrons autobots were sold separately. I had the motorcycle and the sports car. I remember seeing them sold in stores.
I've been hearing that a lot. Maybe it's a UK / US difference.
ToyBiz's unreleased wave from the Iron Man line did see a few Dark Aegis figures given out as prizes to winners of a contest
Ah interesting. I didn’t know about that.
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour It was a contest done through Toyfare magazine.
The Technobots were absolutely released as individually packaged specimens.
Ah thank you. It’s seems there was some mixed information
Its hilarious how the rocket powered Boba became a thing in mandalorian
That’s fantastic service done right!
Weren't there rocket firing mandos in clone wars?
I think the McFarlane Spiderman is definitely a modern day rare figure. I cant find one below $200!
Ah man tell me about it! The box set recently went back on sale in the UK but I couldn’t justify £150 for just one figure that I needed!
I've seen the recent vintage one going for£ 70-100.
That was only 20 quid 6months ago.
Dude I grew up playing with about 10 of these toys on this list I definitely grew up with He-Man GI Joes Transformers and of course Ninja Turtles
Man I grew up with those exact same collections. Children of the 80's!
I had that Jawa as a kid. I also had telescoping lightsaber Darth Vader. The lightsaber broke quickly. Wish I still had some of them. Never had the Millennium Falcon, but did have Slave 1, a Snow Speeder and a Darth Vader display case along with a ton of figurines.
I was from the same generation!
I always tried to find the Blank as a kid when I found out why I was like huh? No wonder.
Lol finally it all makes sense!
Hulk Hogan pro wrestling 1981 Popy Sufobi figure. Actually that entire wrestling line is a pain to find.
Gosh I’ve never even heard of those. Great suggestion. I’ll look them up!
