That transformer, whether you want to call him skyfire or jetfire ( jetfire to me!) is the GOAT. My all time favorite toy maybe ever. It’s a Robotech Veritech design, that transforms in all 3 modes, AND it’s in the transformer line?!?!
I recently gave all my GI Joe and Transformers from the 80s and 90s to a local family with a bunch of kids and they LOVED them! I always thought I would have my own kids but that never happened, so I was glad they went to kids that would enjoy them as TOYS, not just sitting on shelves as artifacts of an age now near extinct. I still have many old Star Wars toys, but anymore I’m feeling the same way about those too. Especially now that Star Wars is damaged goods that store can’t even give away the product. It’s just so nice seeing those kids playing with the toys that brought me so much joy in my childhood.
Similar thing happened to my brother and I as kids. My dad knew a family whose kids outgrew their toys and they were passed on to us - toys from the 70s like Big Jim, Six Million Dollar Man, and the big GI Joes.
I remember shredding that Jetfire box Christmas morning. It still makes me smile thinking about it. I have every piece intact like it was brand new still to this day except the box 🤣 one of the coolest presents Santa ever brought me 👍 I still have my original Optimus minus a box 🤣
I remember as a kid, getting G1 Jetfire. And in my mind....he was the same character in the cartoons. (The childs imagination) I also remember being slightly disappointed that he didn't look anything like the cartoon Skyfire! Thankfully.... Fanstoys, Takara, NewAge, and Magic square have provided us with a proper Skyfire 40yrs later.
G1 Skyfire was the orignal design. When Hasbro purchase the Robotech, they changed the original design of Skyfire to Jetfire which is a design from Robotech Skull Leader.
Thats a 1985 jetfire cuz the 1984 version had the tatsutoku macross symbol on the wing still and it got fixed in the second run. same with the 1084 optimus. He had metal plates in his trailer and a grey roller, the second run took out the plates and roller is the more common blue version.
The vac metal on the Silverhawks is still beautiful. My Jetfire is super minty too with the gun clip. Don't think my box is that good but the Transformer is just as white. Took me SO long to get one I was happy with. Stickers weren't even applied. Great video.
Awesome video guys! Man, I really hate I let that Jetfire go. Glad I didn’t sound like a D.A., even though I am. lol Can’t wait to bring in some more things. Haven’t even looked through my StarWars stuff yet. You guys just made my Saturday! Thanks and much ❤for the Federation! The Toy Federation!
My dad had that Jetfire he bought for us to play; I’ve kept it but it’s far from complete and not in good shape. 6 kids ( me and my siblings)played with it and it shows. But still hold on to it to remember my dad.
Some great toys there. I remember getting that voltron for Christmas and thinking it was a cheap transformer. Jetfire was way to white. I have my one in a glass case and he has some yellow.
As good as modern transformers are, there is certain something with G1 originals, sure.some look nothing like the comics/tv show and the scale was way out, but they just had that something that allowed kids to have fun, the 80s packaging adds to that
Those are Dino Riders are awesome. I wish I knew about them as a kid. I had one of the guns, thought it was a Star Destroyer turbolaser or something haham. Hey, I have that blue guy. I thought he was a Sky Raider or whatever, since he's about the size as a MASK figure.
I should also say is someone who runs a store. 50% is an idea. I also factor shelf sitting time, and if it’s going to be a single item flip or MANY items that’s going to take a fair bit of work. There’s lots of factors that effect how you buy stock.
I remember in some previous videos you were talking about expanding the store. The floor is great but you need a nice large table to sort. Great video. Jordan from Toronto, Canada.
You had me at the title - I have a focus Jetfire / Skyfire display for some time - I even have a professionally done Skyefire Purple Jetfire including Decals that is super super clean tight joints - My boxed Jetfire isn't as clean as the one in the video but It is complete with the clip - Always be hunting...
Jetfire is probably my favorite childhood Transformer. I remember the one I got as a kid from a flea market was missing a hand. It got lost with other toys in a fire, but I managed to track one down complete, with one of the styrofoam inserts, for $200 back in the 2000s, not sure exactly when. It was my most expensive Transformer. None of the combiners even cost that much. Of course, one of my favorites had to be the most expensive! And yeah, I prefer the Jetfire name and design over Skyfire from the cartoon. The cartoon design was changed because of the whole Robotech/Macross fiasco. Not sure why his name was changed, though!
My brother and I had a great childhood as far as toys we didn't have everything but we had a lot. Sadly my parents didn't care for the toys after we grew up and I still don't know what happened to 90% of our toys. My dad decided to put them in the back shed in cardboard boxes which I don't understand why. So much stuff was ruined because of mice and other animals. I keep all my stuff now in plastic totes with tight lids.
love dino riders, I still have quite a few including the T-Rex. While the ones you got are complete and in good physical condition the armor on the raptor and Triceratops had severe UV damage, the armor should be a light grey and not the weird tan color, sadly all to common for these toys, luckily they can be retro-brighted like old GI joes and stuff. absolutely love that toy line and the first 2 episodes at least were really good.
I had a pull back and release (i forget what there really called) knightrider dicast car as a kid it was the best hard wearing ,take a licking keep on ticking stunt car i ever owned it was awesome . Whenever it got beat up i just coloured over it with a marker pen or enamel paint
Would it? Just cause it’s listed on eBay doesn’t mean anything unless someone is willing to pay. There’s a lot of overpriced stuff on eBay. Jetfire is nothing special but a Bandai clone. Brand new in box Bandais sell for half the price. 400 is reasonable considering he’s selling to a business.
@@user-ib5mx8ro4kIt’s not a clone at all, it’s a Takatoku Toy figure from their Macross Series. Bandai bought out Takatoku Toys at some point. Hasbro just slapped “Transformers” on the box just like they did with the Diaclone and Microman toys.
Us guys are all just big kids at heart for my 50th birthday a few days ago i bought myself a MP44 optimus prime .if those dad cuts are from 1 person they sure were spoilt as a child
Do you call it Jetfire or Skyfire?
Skyfire will always be Skyfire. Just like Bluestreak will always be Bluestreak and not Silverstreak to me
I call it a rip off of Robotech
@@jcbvortex22which is a rip off of macross
Definitely jetfire
G1 Skyfire✌
This should be a tv show I love it that much
That transformer, whether you want to call him skyfire or jetfire ( jetfire to me!) is the GOAT. My all time favorite toy maybe ever. It’s a Robotech Veritech design, that transforms in all 3 modes, AND it’s in the transformer line?!?!
No ur gonna call it a Skyfire.....
Ya that’s a Macross design I had to pause the video and take a good look at it 👀 lol 😆
@@SouthernSavage-ne1zhlol. I get why you would/should, but I grew up with it as jetfire. Sorry, 35 years of hard-wiring
It’s a VF-1 Valkyrie
@thewalruswasjason101 Alright well I'll let it slide this time I guess. I really didn't want too but I guess I will . God bless
It always amazes me how you remember all the accessories that are needed for so many toy lines
This is soooo breath taking to still see people holding on toy toys/art after all these years... Thanx to u guys n these amazing videos n content
Had to show my support and bought my TOY FEDERATION T-shirt!! Love the channel!!
Awesome! Thank you!

Its amazing how clean that Jetfire is. Unreal
DANG, that Jetfire is so fresh!! Nice to see some Transformers on here 🙏🏼

Those Retro Toy Con exclusives look so cool! I wish I could travel there to check it out. Hope the con is super successful!
Awesome Kelly's Heroes shirt. Love that movie
I like taking note of what t-shirts everyone is wearing. I saw Ryan's Kelly's Heroes shirt and was like "That's a cool one."🙂
The "Dad Cut'' just hit me in the feels
These videos are like prozac,instant mood boost!
G1 Skyfire was the orignal design. When Hasbro purchase the Robotech, they changed the original design of Skyfire to Jetfire which is a design from Robotech Skull Leader.
Please don't forget to insert more of the older commercials for the toylines eh, I miss those. Cheers :)
That last NES GIJOE game was epic. All of it. Good stuff
Ryan’s face be lighting up when trades come in. It’s crazy to have that feeling of nostalgic.
Love the channel! Brings out that nostalgia of my inner child that couldn't wait for Saturday to roll around.
Silverhawks what a great cartoon and toys. I never owned them growing up in the 80's. Still love the opening them song to this day!
Your videos are one of the highlights of my week. Thank you!!
Got jetfire for christmas as a kid...need another one for my collection!
ALWAY'S,THE BEST TIME'S WITH THE TOY MAN!!!!THANK YOU!!!!!❤😂
I love your videos! I hope to come out and visit some day. Its just really cool seeing the store from the owner perspective!
It's an amazing store. I'm lucky to live twenty minutes away. Definitely worth the trip if your in the area.

Saturday morning cartoons I love yall!!!! Garner NC is coming to visit soon!!!!
Awesome video guys! Man, I really hate I let that Jetfire go. Glad I didn’t sound like a D.A., even though I am. lol
Can’t wait to bring in some more things. Haven’t even looked through my StarWars stuff yet. You guys just made my Saturday! Thanks and much ❤for the Federation!
The Toy Federation!
You should do a video of your shed with all your old toys and post it on youtube eh. :)
Great video again guys
My dad had that Jetfire he bought for us to play; I’ve kept it but it’s far from complete and not in good shape. 6 kids ( me and my siblings)played with it and it shows. But still hold on to it to remember my dad.
yo the box of NES carts and we didnt get to see them!! there was some $$ in there.
Time for my Saturday morning cartoons.
Some great toys there. I remember getting that voltron for Christmas and thinking it was a cheap transformer. Jetfire was way to white. I have my one in a glass case and he has some yellow.
Skyfire was my favorite Transformer
Those Silver Hawks were so clean. I find them out here in Michigan every so often but they are never in that condition! Awesome video!
Just love watching this channel amazing toys people ace forget the world problems and play with toys ❤
"I don't know what it is but I'm buying it" Statement of the year!
super awesome video the memories of the time love it
As good as modern transformers are, there is certain something with G1 originals, sure.some look nothing like the comics/tv show and the scale was way out, but they just had that something that allowed kids to have fun, the 80s packaging adds to that
Always a fun video. Love seeing all the things I collect on your channel
He’s stuff is in such great shape!
Those are Dino Riders are awesome. I wish I knew about them as a kid. I had one of the guns, thought it was a Star Destroyer turbolaser or something haham. Hey, I have that blue guy. I thought he was a Sky Raider or whatever, since he's about the size as a MASK figure.
He'll always be Jetfire. ... And a Phoenix Hawk LAM to me.😍
Let me show these Silverhawks (on top of a sweet Voltron set) - well played! Pretty minty and white Jetfire for being 38 years old.
I'm 100% Team Jetfire!
Devintage gaming it up in the back!
I should also say is someone who runs a store. 50% is an idea. I also factor shelf sitting time, and if it’s going to be a single item flip or MANY items that’s going to take a fair bit of work. There’s lots of factors that effect how you buy stock.
Find a Jetfire like that. Then hit me up. Sold.
Shout out to the federation
Just love the way these vids just randomly end 😂
How do they randomly end?
There's nothing wrong with it, just used to an outro
Best robot toys of the 80’s and today . I like to refer him as macross line though not as transformers line just because his from that franchise.
I remember in some previous videos you were talking about expanding the store. The floor is great but you need a nice large table to sort. Great video. Jordan from Toronto, Canada.
We like the floor
The knowledge these guys have is insane, especially when it comes to smaller toy lines and their accessories. 😳
You had me at the title - I have a focus Jetfire / Skyfire display for some time - I even have a professionally done Skyefire Purple Jetfire including Decals that is super super clean tight joints - My boxed Jetfire isn't as clean as the one in the video but It is complete with the clip - Always be hunting...
Dino riders are the best
I absolutely love the Captain Power.
I love this show. It’s like Pawn Stars only unscripted and less bald.
I liked when I offered a trilogo Yakface CAS 75 to a local store knowing I wasn’t gonna get retail, and they offered $300.00

Ryan....................Kelly's Heroes one of my favourite war movies.....👍👍❤
It's a great film!
I love the Transformers
Love that gi Joe game for Nintendo, I use to play it all the time because of snake eyes. Also, the second one released by Capcom is really good too.
My brother and I had a great childhood as far as toys we didn't have everything but we had a lot. Sadly my parents didn't care for the toys after we grew up and I still don't know what happened to 90% of our toys.

Gotta love that they repackaged the macross fighter and slapped transformers on it.
That’s what makes this toy cool
Love yall at toy federation will probably stop by to see what new transformers yall have or if anything piques my interest
Better late than never .Thanks for the awesome video.
Positive vibes!
I personally love the siege jetfire and the masterpiece jetfire better than the original g1
CAAACHING ON THE VIDEO GAMES!
You have got to apricate a guy who wears a "Kelly's Heroes" shirt. Woof woof woof.
Jetfire is My favorite transformer. I had one in the 80s. I think Macross sued them for using their design.
My birthday 17th November 1987 was born and still loving Collectibles
I need a Kenner Knight Rider. Dang that one looked in great shape.
Met the turtles at Retro Toy Con last year and cant wait to see whats in store with the X-Men this year.
Its an 85 jetfire, the 84 version has the macross symbol on the wing. Which obviously got removed due to copyright issues upon the re0release.
I was a kid with ocd and I did the dad cut.
I found a CIB Jetfire at a thrift store, but someone colored his red over with black sharpie. Is it still worth anything?
love dino riders, I still have quite a few including the T-Rex. While the ones you got are complete and in good physical condition the armor on the raptor and Triceratops had severe UV damage, the armor should be a light grey and not the weird tan color, sadly all to common for these toys, luckily they can be retro-brighted like old GI joes and stuff. absolutely love that toy line and the first 2 episodes at least were really good.
I have a jetfire complete in a box and six more loose😊
Let me know if you want to let it go. I drooled over that as a kid. Got one after working jobs. And my kid brother destroyed it.
I had a pull back and release (i forget what there really called) knightrider dicast car as a kid it was the best hard wearing ,take a licking keep on ticking stunt car i ever owned it was awesome . Whenever it got beat up i just coloured over it with a marker pen or enamel paint
Wish there was a spot like this up in NY
I’m pretty sure the wwf bendy was a Taz. Go check solds on that alone. Damn.
i think it would be very fun to work at a store like this. i think I would enjoy it a lot. to bad u live so far I would stop by your store!!
You guys ever gets starcom toys in the store? They were such great toys and I don't ever see them around.
The transformer at the start I remember my big brother got it for Christmas and I was so jealous lol. Cool toy, it was a blatant ripoff of Robotech
Not a ripoff but a rebranding. It’s the only reason I got this one because I was into Macross
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
#dad cut i love it man i wish i could make it to retro con maybe next year another awesome video guys!!!
Was it me or the mic bad in this episode felt like it was peeking a lot or it sounded like if u were underwater
First is best. What an odd time to post. U should be saving this show for like 8.55 a m. Or 9.13 a m. Or even stretching it to off kilter 9.55 a m. ❤😂
What
What was in that other bin?!?
Vidya games. That's why he took the 1 Joe item and sent him to the game store.
That Joe game is over $300 on price chart if it had the manuals.
toy federation are the dad cut!
All of my GI Joe cards have the "dad cut" and I did cut them myself
Dude $400? Big pass. Jet fire near mint in box? Pretty clean? Nice box? I know it incomplete, but that would go well above $400 in its own on eBay.
Retro Con looks awesome
Would it? Just cause it’s listed on eBay doesn’t mean anything unless someone is willing to pay. There’s a lot of overpriced stuff on eBay. Jetfire is nothing special but a Bandai clone. Brand new in box Bandais sell for half the price. 400 is reasonable considering he’s selling to a business.

No music in this ep, I miss the music tbh. It's so good
There's definitely music in the episode. haha
Us guys are all just big kids at heart for my 50th birthday a few days ago i bought myself a MP44 optimus prime .if those dad cuts are from 1 person they sure were spoilt as a child
Gun clip attaches to the arm FYI
Hard mode: try tracking down a MISB sealed GERMAN Jetfire that marks him as the leader of the autobots. Those are impossible to find.
I still want a bob & Vincent and run your eBay store. 🤣 Fyi, I took wear nothing but adidas
The WWF bendies, if that was Tazz it is the holy grail of bendies??????
I was just at a toy show and a Jetfire in not as good of condition the guy wanted $500😂
