I'm 34 and I have a ton of childhood memories from Toys R Us. I've never seen one of those statues before but that thing is awesome!! Great find and buy!
Your wife is the real hero of this channel. She must have hero tier patience when you say "oh I've just spent 1500 dollars on a 6ft plastic giraffe." Hahahaha.
Hi Rick - Thanks for popping in my Whatnot hat sale - Amazing Channel - I look forward to going through your video library. Love everything about your videos - fantastic editing, music, vid clips - great stuff man.
I love the mystery men movie, a seriously underrated movie 😁 What a cool place Rick! Thanks for sharing. All the best getting Geoffrey home. Wow that had to be one in a million find😮
The stuffed Leonardo came out around the time of the movie. I remember mom buying my Donatello from a grocery store back in the day. I can't remember if it was to promote the movie or the cereal. Could have been both lol
Rick, your videos have such great production value and never miss a beat. You’ve come such a long way 👍 Also, we’re about the same age. Watching your videos is such a treat. I love seeing toys, games, and movies that I haven’t thought about in decades. I definitely look forward to your videos every week. You are a true ‘90’s historian. Please keep that torch burning! 💪
Another classic episode from Retro. Great pickup. You need to park that in front of the house and get Pee Wee Herman’s house going on. Great episode bro. Always delivering the 🔥🔥
Hey Rick, your video is awesome! Glad Geoffrey is going to a new home. Keith is my father and he is also very excited that Geoffrey is going to have a new life
Try pods moving and storage . They can ship that to your pad . You can always take it to a con and it will sell for sure. It will be a huge draw to your booth as well
Me and my younger brother totally had all 4 of those big stuffed TMNT figures when we were kids. Pretty sure we got them at Excalibur or Circus Circus in Las Vegas playing the games back in like 1992.
I have always loved Toys R Us. Yes, there is a Toys R Us store in the American Dream Mall in New Jersey-and yes I was there-but it isn’t the same. Great find, Rick. If I bought it though I would probably be sleeping in a dog house specifically made for me lol
I think someone’s gonna be slipping on the couch for the next couple weeks till he recoups that $1500 lol, that’s a insane deal. The last insane deal I saw was Game Chasers a few years ago buying a big Sony display and merchandise shelf, but also nabbing two more cabinets that turned out to be N64 game cabinets that were painted over with black latex paint.
Hey. I own a moving company in Duncan sc. I’d be more then happy to load it up and deliver it to you. I’d be very fair on price just cause I love your channel. I do have license and insurance.
I checked it out on Saturday as I was told that macys near me had a Toys R Us in it now. It was a small section of a few isles of toys, unfortunately not at all what I remembered of Toys R Us.
Mad Respect for paying the extra hundred bucks instead of taking advantage of the inside info the employee gave you. You could tell the guy had a lot of sentimental value attached to it. Class act on your part.
Thank you my Brother, but I have no clue what That is and how to receive something. Lol I'm 34. I just love the memories your channel gives me. Thank you retro Rick!
Oh man I had that plush Leonardo when I was a kid! Seeing that brought so many memories flooding back! Did ya'll pick up that plush because u can flip it and make $60.00.
Awesome find Bruh!! On the last part when talking to the wifey, It would be a good time to use that “Ah they gave it to me” voice over 🤣🤣🤣 Super Nostalgic find 🔥🔥🔥
You missed the Jingle all the way Clamshell VHS March 4th. 2021 Haggled at the Flea Market and it worked video.😞😉 Just in case you missed it probably it will surface at another Flea Market or Good Will.👍😊
Awesome find in the wild! When under pressure to why said find was acquired, drop the retro Rick "It's for my son" line and all will be forgiven! 🤣. What an awesome piece of 80's and 90's Nostalgia! 🤟🔥🎃
High Temps and high prices. That sounds about right for the barnyard. It's local to me and after a couple of trips, confirmed I'm missing nothing at all.
What do you guys think I’ll be doing with the Geoffrey statue? 😃
Give it to that Phoenix Resale guy! 😂jkjk it’s so cool
Slap the Retro Rick logo over his name and paint it purple I’m guessing
Apologizing to the wife 😂😂
gonna sell it on WhatNot! lol
You and Geoffrey will be sleeping outside after the Wifey sees the bank account lol
Love the call to the Mrs. at the end. That conversation needing to happen is the first thing that popped into my head following the purchase 🤣
😂
Following the purchase? Homeboy isn't home she might be gone when he gets back. That is kind of a pre-purchase chat.
@@Playalives sometimes is better to ask for forgiveness than permission
I wouldn’t even risk some carrier handling Geoffrey. Just make a family vaca out of it with a uhaul. Road trip!
Agreed
The dreaded call to the wife after spending $1,500 on a 6 foot statue lol
Her last comment was priceless... "I have a bunch of questions"
We've all done it
Lmaooo
It was fun seeing this play out in video form! Good memories! ❤
You were hilarious in this one hahaha
@@retrorick thanks man! It was a memorable moment to find that Geoffrey!
I'm 34 and I have a ton of childhood memories from Toys R Us. I've never seen one of those statues before but that thing is awesome!! Great find and buy!

The king of queens such an underrated show..a bit like yours. Always a treat to watch
It's always a good day when Rick posts
Hi Rick - Thanks for popping in my Whatnot hat sale - Amazing Channel - I look forward to going through your video library. Love everything about your videos - fantastic editing, music, vid clips - great stuff man.
"How much did it cost?" That's the crazy thing, he just gave it to me.
Good luck getting is home man. That thing is crazy
I love the mystery men movie, a seriously underrated movie 😁
What a cool place Rick! Thanks for sharing.
All the best getting Geoffrey home. Wow that had to be one in a million find😮
So much joy had from the statue now will just sit in you room. The addiction is real. Lol
Mrs Retro
"I have a bunch of questions"
😂😂😂
Awesome video Rick! The journey of this "bizarre" flea market purchase is not over yet!!
From bikes to toys to videogames!!! I'm a Toys R Us kid, I hope Geoffrey has his right hand!!!
The stuffed Leonardo came out around the time of the movie. I remember mom buying my Donatello from a grocery store back in the day. I can't remember if it was to promote the movie or the cereal. Could have been both lol
That’s why I get so pumped for mondays and Thursdays cause as the channel grows so does ricks addiction and I get to come along for the ride
Those Beetle Borgs were awesome!

The Leonardo plush I know for sure was a carnival game prize. Remember seeing at carnivals in the late 80s.
I have a Michaelangelo one somewhere.
I swear you getting Geoffrey to your house is probably going to be like the plot to some road trip comedy movie.😆
You did the right thing , go with your gut , you will never see another one , and will bring joy to lots of people 👍
Another classic episode from Retro. Great pickup. You need to park that in front of the house and get Pee Wee Herman’s house going on. Great episode bro. Always delivering the 🔥🔥
Super awesome you guys stopped at the barnyard flea market. Its maybe 20 min from my house and I prob swing there twice a month.
That road trip can become…

Great pick up. Reminds me of the conversations I have with my wife. You paid how much for that shirt, sign or statue. Well, if it makes you happy 😂
Jay Jay! He’s our man! If he can’t do it…no one can! Gooo Jay!
The Geoffrey statue is so cool. Definitely never seen one IRL that hasn’t been in a toys r us. Awesome find!
Try pods moving and storage . They can ship that to your pad . You can always take it to a con and it will sell for sure. It will be a huge draw to your booth as well
Awesome video man!
First off didn’t know you were in SC. That’s my stomping ground. Bring the statue to next years South East Game Exchange and I’ll buy it from you lol
That's literally ten minutes from where I live! I'll miss seeing Geoffery but I'm pumped that he's going to you!
Me and my younger brother totally had all 4 of those big stuffed TMNT figures when we were kids. Pretty sure we got them at Excalibur or Circus Circus in Las Vegas playing the games back in like 1992.
those Big bad Beatles borgs are sweet!
I had that giant leo and we use to wrestle with it
Good luck dude on the shipping:) Awesome video rick and again a GREAT find:) Toys "R" Us forever:)
Awesome....what did i win bro:) i acknowledge
Geoffrey omg! Childhood memories rejoice! When they replaced him for the bloody star I cried for months!
YES!!! So happy you bought it Retro!!!!!!! This was freaking awesome!!!! Can't wait to see how the hell your gonna ship this bad boy!!!!!
Ah man... The employee that works there and the smiling children that used to visit the statue need a new mascot.
Yet I love the random impulse!
I'm addicted to your videos 😍
Rick my man you are crazy for buying that huge statue.
Take a shot each time Rick says “dude”. 😂
😂😂😂
Or bro
It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. That Geoffrey was worth every penny, bro. Good job.
Very lucky for both of you
Beatle boreds we're the best 💯 Glad you got them all
That statue was in the biggest toys r us in ney York before It closed
Geoffrey statue display WOW Keep for awhile then auction with a reserve super sweet✌️😊
I have that same addidas t shirt on that the kid had on around 4 minutes in. 😁😁
Here in Canada they started to use the Geoffrey mascot again in the stores. Pretty amazing stuff getting that statue!
I have always loved Toys R Us. Yes, there is a Toys R Us store in the American Dream Mall in New Jersey-and yes I was there-but it isn’t the same. Great find, Rick. If I bought it though I would probably be sleeping in a dog house specifically made for me lol
We have a toys r us near where I live
@@moldman3686 that is cool. I believe there will be more Toys R Us stores in the near future.
I think someone’s gonna be slipping on the couch for the next couple weeks till he recoups that $1500 lol, that’s a insane deal.

I love this!!! One day I’ll have one. Very cool!
That's a find right there. Looking forward to seeing these projects you're working on
That statue is badass!
I would buy the Geoffrey as well, nice find!

RAD..I guess some Macy's are bringing back a mini version of Toys R Us..
Actually all macys will have mini toys r uses in them by the end of October
I checked it out on Saturday as I was told that macys near me had a Toys R Us in it now. It was a small section of a few isles of toys, unfortunately not at all what I remembered of Toys R Us.
This episode should have been called dude bro dude bro
Toys R Us will be wanting that back
Gargoyles was such a gem of a cartoon.
