Thank you Mike for this video! I remember that store when I was a little kid back in the 1970s! I remember I purchased a Star Wars plastic model set there!
Finally, you're taking us in some of the cool stores on Hollywood Blvd. As you say " believe it or not" ,in the 60's I used to get off the RTD bus and go into that store and buy magic tricks every week. The magic counter was on the right side of the store, where the wigs are. The guy working there would demonstrate tricks for people. The store was much different back then. More toys and magic stuff. Thanks for the memories Mike.
The good old magic trick stuff. In primery school we youst to buy sume. The fake smock U blow into but thay look so real we would hide and pretend we was smocking behind the sports sheed lol. 😆🤩👌 Flash back s ..
I was born in Germany many moons ago and came to Hollywood in 1957, age 12, and basically grew up in Hollywood and graduated from Hollywood High in 1962. It was so awesome then. Hollywood Blvd. was so clean, we didn’t have to be afraid, oh what a glorious time. I like you and I enjoy your videos ❤. Tschüss, mach‘s gut!!
Mike I used to work at Larry Edmunds in the 80s-I’ll bet you were a customer! We did get a good number of German tourists in the summer. Also, your fave MJ came in *frequently*-also to the magic shop. I waited on him once-made me so nervous, and it was obvious enough he was laughing at me! In a nice way. He had the same mask on we’ve all been wearing lately. 😊
Hollywood Toys & Costume sure blows away the Halloween seasonal pop-up rip-offs. I saw a couple of masks of US politicians - you quickly passed by them and didn't say a thing. Thank you for that and an even greater thank you for this you of one of the greatest fun costume stores in the world.
I love looking around big old stores like that. I could do that all day... So much history & many stories. Wonder how many older businesses are still around like that place? Thanks for the tour have a great weekend 😊
Man as many times I’ve been to Hollywood I never knew that store existed and if I did know I would have went in there in a hot minute so I must thank you GIV for taking me on a tour of the store and showing the many amazing things they have I mean I think that store is incredible especially being there that long so now the next time I’m in that area I’m definitely going to check that store out thanks so much for showing off a truly great store now with that being said peace ☮️ love ❤️ and happiness to you GIV and I’ll see you on the next vlog adventure wherever it takes you peace ☮️ out ✌️
Jamie Lee at the right place! And another Halloween movie coming out! Is this the end of her? Muahhh. Love these store! Totally awesome! But just remember, when we was younger those things were made a lot better, and most were metal, not plastic
I used to live a couple of blocks north of Hollywood Bl., on Grace Ave, 1980-1993, would walk down to the Bl., and window shop from Vine St. to Past Chinese Theater and back!
Keep up with your great videos. Before you know it, tourists will start to see you and saying "omg is GIV, the Germany guys who films in Hollywood, can we get a pic with you". Thank you for sharing.
What a great video you did this time mike. You're getting much better at what you do. I know you're not religious guy but I pray that God is with you everyday and directs you toward his light. I know you have a great heart for humankind. And I would be honored to meet you one of these days. Keep up the good work my friend and keep your eye to the sky because our father up there has your back.
When I was a teenager I loved going to British Imports on Hollywood Blvd and buying heavy metal T-shirts like Scorpions, Accept, Ozzy, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden. I miss the Hollywood of the 80s.
GIV ALWAYS ADMIRED YOU WHAT YOU DO YOU PUT YOUR HEART AND SOUL IN TO YOUR VIDEOS WE ALL ENJOY THEM I WANT TO SAY TO YOU MIKE THANK YOU👍 KEEP UP WITH YOUR GREAT VIDEOS📽🎬❤👍
It was the chomp heard 'round the world when, on Jan. 20, 1982, *Ozzy Osbourne dined on a bat* while on stage in Des Moines in front of 5,000 or so witnesses. An issue of Rolling Stone in 2004 ranked the bat-biting No. 2 on its list of "Rock's Wildest Myths." Thanks Mike for the video. ❤👍
Thank you so much bro German Venice for showing me the awesome Halloween costume store in Hollywood it was awesome to see all the stuff thank you so much for sharing have a great day be safe sincerely Suszie ♥️😀
I've been in here but just the one time, I don't remember buying anything, I just looked around. Another store that's been on Hollywood boulevard for a long time is the supply sergeant just down the street, it's been there even longer than this store, supply sergeant's been around since 1948.
I can only imagine how fun it would be to visit a place like this with the GIV! "For anyone who might want an extra brain".. only the German in Venice would thing of such things.. You crack me up Mike and blow my mind and brain! lol.
That prop Mony was cool. Some thing like Banksy stencil. Guy from UK made. He was going to throw it of top of a building but ended up doing atm stencil an had it spitting out Mony note s
How did I miss that as I walked the whole strip and all the stars I liked and I took pictures. Didn’t see you on Venice Beach either 😂 I must need to come back 😂
Hahahar 🤩😆 the freeky clown 🤡..I so sounded like one lol 😂....thanks man for showing me around. Places. As I not bean to USA but wish I had back in 96. Still my dream to get their one day add
