The Canadian phrases on your new mug are also recognized by this American who grew up in a border town, watched Canadian televison growing up and has Canadian relatives. And as always, looking forward to the restorations of all you receive. Cheers from Buffalo, New York.
Thanks again for your unboxing video. I like watching the makeover as well. I had matchbox cars and trucks from the winter months and Tonka trucks for the summer months. Keep up the good work. From :Tennessee (USA)
That Mountie Bear will be kept VERY busy. Something about a Koala Bear, who does things. Bah! Kevin will corrupt that bear in no time..... And Marty will have to deal with the TWO of them. And never turn your back on a beaver!
It's a rainy day here in northern germany. But thanks to your unboxing video and my beloved cup of coffee it's gonna be a bright day for me. Thanks Mate...😁☕👍🏼👍🏼 Greetings from Cuxhaven at the northsea-shore 😁
A great video Marty. The Citroen is a really great looking car along with the DC10. I can't wait to see the restorations of these two. I think the photograph of the 8wheel tipper is one of coolest photos I have ever seen. Keep up the great work. 😀
i remember playing with that forklift when i was a kid in the late 80s. My aunt back then was a teacher, and she "confiscated" that forklift from one of her student. I never know that it was part of a set.
That was a really interesting un-boxing. I have never seen the trains before and you are getting some very nice looking industrial models too. Thanks for sharing this neat episode.
Just to let you know that Canada has two official language French and English. This is why there is French and English words on your mug. Same thing goes for the chocolate bar it is not from France but Canada. Keep up the good work. René from Québec.
@@stephenscholes4758 Let me educate you on Canadian history. Canada was a French colony within New France first claimed in the name of the King of France in 1535 during the second voyage of Jacques Cartier. Then came the British. Basically Canada was found by to countries France and Great Britain. This is why we have two official language. I found your comment very offensive. I should do some research on other country's history before making such narrow minded comment.
Nice to see you have had a 'Mountie' sent from Ontario. Nos bras meurtris vous tendent le flambeau, à vous toujours de le porter bien haut (To you from failing hands we throw the torch. Be yours tohold it high). The Stanley Cup is coming home. I just get too excited with the new season coming!
Very nice donations Marty, Claire is very generous once again! You can add me to the list of people who've never watched Game of Thrones or Harry Potter. Husky was Gorgi's budget line and was later renamed Corgi Juniors in the 70's, they're usually fairly cheaply made and less detailed than the larger Corgi cars.
I noticed that too quite few videos ago, and as someone who has a lot of film cameras that I shoot with nearly all the time would love to see him show them off one day.
Seattle, WA. The WA stands for Washington State in Northwest United States. The chocolate that he gave you that had a W on it is the logo for the University of Washington, I think.
Evil Ash yes. Our old GPS used to say “Make a right onto Western Australia 512” Instead of Washington 512. We even changed to accent on the GPS to an Australian accent just to make it more funny. 😀
Seattle, Washington. Fun fact, Seattle has very similar weather to London. And OLFA blades are the absolute best blades I've ever used in a utility knife.
Another entertaining unboxing video to brighten an otherwise wet, grey day here in Plymouth UK. Keep up the good work Marty.. BTW I love the mix of Restoration & Un Boxings...
That Ann Onymous gets around. She also writes a lot of songs and poetry, too. Actually, the sender is about 10 miles from me :) My brother did a spell at the Rochford factory. Actually, the original Lesney factory was near where I was born in London.
Hi Marty, Husky were made in Swansea Wales by the company who made Corgi Cars, and as one of the other posters commented, in 1970 they changed the name to Corgi Juniors.
G'day Marty I haven't watched Trones or Frazier also Southpark so your not alone. As for the truck I was looking to do the same except with a trailer. I found Cotter pins 45mm at Bunnings exactly what you need - as for the uprights - turn the pin around and run full length. Good luck 👍 These unveilings are excellent as I no longer get any presents - lmao. Take care 👍
WA. Washington State. I finally realized who you remind me of. One of the Three Stooges. Not necessary one in particular, maybe a hybrid. I agree the Matchbox of latter years are sad. And Mattel/Matchbox the worst. I love the original Moko Lesney Matchbox. You have a very good friend in Canada. Another fine unboxing. See ya Saturday.
Just a side note, you put Claire from Ontario. in Ottawa. Ottawa's writing is so much smaller, but you found it. LOL take care and God Bless from Florida. P.S. Also never saw one episode of Game of Thrones.
I would LOVE to see the Gran Fury made up to it's former condition. Well, a flashing lightbar would be awesome. Can't wait to see how you make the car up 😀 Edit: maybe you'll do a custom version of the NYPD to have a matching Superfast to the Kingsize models of the Gran Fury
Husky cars were made in Wales from 1964 to 1970 at which time they were rebranded as Corgi Junior. From what I have read they might have had an exclusive contract with woolworth for distribution.
His Marty. You might want to check on the first batch of models, some might be rare. The Citroen is excellent and deserves immediate restoration, it should be an easy one for you. Congratulations on your success, your rise to TH-cam stardom is meteoric but I wouldn't quit your day job just yet. 👍😉😊
The Basildon Bond van made by Lledo. When Corgi went out of business their chief die caster started a company, his name was Odell the reverse is Lledo.
Hi Marty, I found your channel less than a month ago and I've seen all your videos by now. I checked some other restorations in other channels but yours are the best. And the unboxings are great! I am from Argentina in South América. I'll be waiting for your next restoration this weekend! Diego González.
Hi Marty; the holes in the side of those Matchbox containers are for the forks of those Lesney forklifts. By the way, what is your present line of work? Getting a larger map is a good idea. Best wishes.
Hello Marty! Here is a video I found to "remove paint from plastic models", quite slow process thougt, pitty is in Brazilian portuguese but basic is 2 spons of caustic soda/L and he waited 12hs, but amazing result. Cheers Brother!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Out of that first set you can use the yellow fork lift to move the containers off of the flat car and truck. On the real fork lift like the orange one the steering section tips back toward you so that you can be comfortable driving it. Huskey and Corgi Junior are the same company the Huskey were a little bit lower end cars than Corgi Junior.
If memory serves, Husky was made by Mettoy in Wales. (the same folks that made Corgi Toys) I think they were later discontinued in favor of the Corgi Juniors line. I had/have a number of them. Great video as always!
Hello. At 14:50, you open a Husky model. They were made in the UK in the 1960's, and only available from branches of F.W. Woolworth's stores. There were lots of different models, and of vehicles not made by Lesney/Matchbox. They also made models of cars from film and TV, often with cool working features. At the end of the 1960's, the maker of Husky Toys (Corgi/Mettoy) re-branded the line as 'Corgi Juniors'.
That Citroen was beautiful. The Lamborghini used to be a childhood favourite of mine. There’s such a contrast between the Hotwheels and the Matchbox. Hotwheels used to advertise on TV and were toys rather than models. I think they blindsided Matchbox. Theirs were all American hot rods and custom cars. Superfast tried to make Matchbox similar but better quality and lost much of their scale model feel and detail. The wheels seemed over sized, under detailed and the models built around them. Then they escaped into the fantasy designs with the lurid moving details. It looks like a knee jerk response to the brash newcomer from Mattel stealing the scene. Thanks for introducing us to the pre Superfast models, they are often very surprising. Restoring them and treating them like scale models really lets us see them again through adult eyes. You should do an exhibition somewhere showing how the models started, evolved and ended at Lesney. The man from Rochford may be a good lead. Someone might even have an archive. Thanks for being brilliant and playful whilst bringing these toys back to life. Great work!
Great channel and make over videos. I too have never watched an episode of 'Game of Frones' oh well, such is the cross I carry. I still have not gotten over missing out on the 'mobile crane give-away' 😠👎 As Matchbox moved into their 'Super Fast' wheels era, they seemed to loose their crisp lines and great details: Head lights, grills, shut lines, etc, etc. They all look a bit cheap, mass produced volume toys for the mass market? Cheers for now. Regards to that Kevin 😉👍(from Edinburgh, Scotland)
Marty I don't know if you figured it out yet but If you notice on the two transport containers that they are two slots toward the bottom on either side , this is for the yellow fork lift , notice the forks are the same distance apart as the slots are.
Maybe Marty you should ask for some Dark Chocolate Hershey Makes Dark Chocolate Bars as much as they make other candy bars becides Cadbury and many other good brands. Looks like the plane you have is one of those Commerical Jets could be a Boeing or an AirBus? And look like Kevin is going to have some fun playing with that Canadian Bear.
Choo-choo, Marty you are a classic! Nothing like being yourself and being so at ease.
Lol my wife and I both started laughing when you made the train noise! Marty, thank you for another great video.
Hmmm seemed practiced as well lol :-)
The Canadian phrases on your new mug are also recognized by this American who grew up in a border town, watched Canadian televison growing up and has Canadian relatives. And as always, looking forward to the restorations of all you receive. Cheers from Buffalo, New York.
THANK YOU...for sharing. Enjoyed.
I have never seen GOT either. And only one of the Harry Potter movies. But never miss one of your Videos
Same!
Me too and I haven't seen star wars either!
PPLLLLEEEEEASEEEE!!!! POOPPING PANTSSS!!!
Thank you Marty for another "Christmas " video! They always brighten my week as much as you makeover videos do!
Thanks again for your unboxing video. I like watching the makeover as well. I had matchbox cars and trucks from the winter months and Tonka trucks for the summer months.
Keep up the good work. From :Tennessee (USA)
Thanks Clive. Marty likes your beaver. Kevin has another new friend! The Constable mountie bear should keep them in line!
Loved the little scratch when you mentioned the flea treatment. Good stuff, as always.
Can’t wait to see the Airbus getting done I like watching the planes being restored
I'm looking forward to the video on that Swissair DC-10, two things that aren't around any more. At least not in their original form ;)
That Mountie Bear will be kept VERY busy. Something about a Koala Bear, who does things. Bah! Kevin will corrupt that bear in no time..... And Marty will have to deal with the TWO of them. And never turn your back on a beaver!
P.M. Laberge 😂😂
It's a rainy day here in northern germany. But thanks to your unboxing video and my beloved cup of coffee it's gonna be a bright day for me. Thanks Mate...😁☕👍🏼👍🏼
Greetings from Cuxhaven at the northsea-shore 😁
Really funny see your videos,unboxing videos,and really helpful your restoration videos.
Never give up what you are doing Marty.
Checking my mailbox daily Marty, so looking forward to the crane!!
Awesome video Marty please keep them coming ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
A great video Marty. The Citroen is a really great looking car along with the DC10. I can't wait to see the restorations of these two. I think the photograph of the 8wheel tipper is one of coolest photos I have ever seen. Keep up the great work. 😀
Marty, the flat car with container, fork lifts and Mercedes truck with container were part of the Matchbox Container Port set from 1976 or so.
Agreed, the train and truck and the forklift are all part of a set. You use the forks to lift the crate from train to road. :)
i remember playing with that forklift when i was a kid in the late 80s. My aunt back then was a teacher, and she "confiscated" that forklift from one of her student. I never know that it was part of a set.
That was a really interesting un-boxing. I have never seen the trains before and you are getting some very nice looking industrial models too. Thanks for sharing this neat episode.
There is an old, bad joke.
If it had been invented anywhere but Alabama, it would have been a Teethbrush.
"I'm going to stop touching it now" made me giggle like a 9 year old boy.

I don't know why a first-world , non-European country would want to speak anything other than the universal language (English)

I think Marty's got himself a Canadian sweetheart!

I like your camera collection. Looks like you got quite some treasures there :)
I noticed that too quite few videos ago, and as someone who has a lot of film cameras that I shoot with nearly all the time would love to see him show them off one day.
Great unboxing video. Your videos always make me smile, because your very funny and you do very nice presentations/repair videos and unboxings.
Same here Marty, I've not seen any G.O,T either. Another great video, I think I get as excited as you just watching the unboxing.
Seattle, WA. The WA stands for Washington State in Northwest United States. The chocolate that he gave you that had a W on it is the logo for the University of Washington, I think.
Willy Wonka chocolates should come in a gold wrapper.
Correct. The Purple W was for the University of Washington
This is not the first time i've seen an australian mix up Western Australia and Washington USA.
Evil Ash yes. Our old GPS used to say “Make a right onto Western Australia 512” Instead of Washington 512. We even changed to accent on the GPS to an Australian accent just to make it more funny. 😀
Marty, that yellow fork lift can be used with the containers on the train and lorry. I used to have that set when i was younger.
"I don't know much about aircraft" - No wonder you were in the RAF, Marty ;)
This Toledo, Ohio (USA) boy appreciates the Jeep T-shirt.
Seattle, Washington. Fun fact, Seattle has very similar weather to London.
And OLFA blades are the absolute best blades I've ever used in a utility knife.
Another nice positive vlog Marty.
Love these videos Marty! Wow, Southend on Sea - I live 15 minutes away in Benfleet! Hi Jason.
Great video, it was nice to see you open these cars so I can look forward to the future restoration videos on them!
The Citroen DS had 4 headlights, two were fixed and two turned with the steering so you see where you were steering.
The early models (1955-67have 2 headlight , and fixed , they add 2 the 2 directional in 1968.
Another entertaining unboxing video to brighten an otherwise wet, grey day here in Plymouth UK. Keep up the good work Marty.. BTW I love the mix of Restoration & Un Boxings...
Hi Marty, What more can you say Fantastic, love the unboxing , All the Best Brian 🤗
That Ann Onymous gets around. She also writes a lot of songs and poetry, too. Actually, the sender is about 10 miles from me :) My brother did a spell at the Rochford factory. Actually, the original Lesney factory was near where I was born in London.
Guess I am one of the few, didn't grow up around television and still do not have it in the home. Great vid Marty.
You and Julie are so cute. It's fun to see you guys have so much fun with this. I'm sure you'll be receiving packages of dark chocolate shortly. lol
The Citroen DS is a scarce model.
You won't get one for less than $20 AUD unless in a lot...and it arrives in Marty's box gratis.....
It always make me happy to see your unboxing video cause it's entertaining on your og styles. Keep up the good work..👍
A pleasure as always
Hi Marty, Husky were made in Swansea Wales by the company who made Corgi Cars, and as one of the other posters commented, in 1970 they changed the name to Corgi Juniors.
It would be nice to see you taking a tour of the matchbox factory.
@8:07 "My flea tablets!" I'll bet you were just itchin' to get 'em! :D
G'day Marty I haven't watched Trones or Frazier also Southpark so your not alone. As for the truck I was looking to do the same except with a trailer. I found Cotter pins 45mm at Bunnings exactly what you need - as for the uprights - turn the pin around and run full length.

I love your unboxing Mail videos looks like Christmas ... hehehe thanks for sharing. Greetings from Cantabria

She snatched that chocolate! LMAO
~ Marty, now you have Constable Bear to arrest Kevin when he gets up to no good, LOL!!!
Marty great video you scare me to it always seems your going stab your self when open some of your boxes, your videos make me happy.
His Marty. You might want to check on the first batch of models, some might be rare. The Citroen is excellent and deserves immediate restoration, it should be an easy one for you. Congratulations on your success, your rise to TH-cam stardom is meteoric but I wouldn't quit your day job just yet. 👍😉😊

I used to love the Matchbox trains I used to wish they'd released some track for it even if it was just something slotted like a BRIO track.
Hi Marty; the holes in the side of those Matchbox containers are for the forks of those Lesney forklifts. By the way, what is your present line of work? Getting a larger map is a good idea. Best wishes.
another great unboxing video, greetings from canada, awsome mug!

Don't know why I love these so much...but I do
The bear came unarmed - what here is one and here is the other - ha ha!
I love how you can tell where anonymous sender #1 will come from just from the box. Lonsdale box from JD Sports? That's gonna be Essex!
If memory serves, Husky was made by Mettoy in Wales. (the same folks that made Corgi Toys) I think they were later discontinued in favor of the Corgi Juniors line. I had/have a number of them. Great video as always!
I sure matchbox did a range of trains. Watch no outtakes. Can't wait to see the plane makeover. Call the bear Sarge?
Or Dudley Doright
Two Potter movies no books, no Game of Thorns either, not my thing. Really like TH-cam videos, like yours.
Love this Citroen ds19 .
Me too, Mate. My father in law drove two of them and he was sad when Citroën stopped making them 👍
Yes , but his successor the CX was good too ( in my taste ).
@@TheQuirkyGarage1999 👍😁
Lamborghini Marzal. Only one ever made!!!
I was disappointed to learn from TimeRider that Hoveringham is not, as I was hoping it would be, the hub of the British air-cushion vehicle industry.
Awesome video marty!! I also love the shirt, I own a jeep grand cherokee
I had the Fork truck when I was a kid
I love unboxings even more then restorations. However, I still love restorations :d
Always wear pants in that Lamborghini. The windows, the windows.

Top of the morning to you and your's sir.
The Hoveringham Foden is still on the road in the UK.
Great channel and make over videos. I too have never watched an episode of 'Game of Frones' oh well, such is the cross I carry. I still have not gotten over missing out on the 'mobile crane give-away' 😠👎

I hate to say it, but, you may need an individual map of the UK. The Mountie Bear is cool. Enjoyed the video.

Hah! I've got the same loco and container car! (But the container has a different sticker)
Maybe Marty you should ask for some Dark Chocolate Hershey Makes Dark Chocolate Bars as much as they make other candy bars becides Cadbury and many other good brands.

Nice Marty!!! hope soon I can send you a package from Mexico with nice goodies cheers
Brilliant unboxing Marty, and with the couple of bulldozers I sent, you could do a construction makeover??
More awesome gift packages buddy and loads of really nice Diecast

Husky models were called Corgi Junior later on...
Those boxes on the train have holes in the bottom for the fork lift to lift them.
I have not seen any single episode of GOT too.
It's the Aveling BARFORD not Bedford roller Marty and that drawing cannot be of you - too much hair ;p
