I have an idea how they found these M.A.S.K. toys.
I think someone in the company who owns the warehouse said, "Today masks are a high demand product because of the pandemic. Let's check our stock inventory of stuff if we have masks in one of our warehouses." And the other guy answered after looking at a dusty clipboard from the 80's, "Yes boss, we have boxes of masks in one of warehouses, but they are from around 30 years ago. I'll open it right away to see if the mask are still OK to be sold."
And the next is history.
Now all we need is a warehouse full of Masters of the Universe.
or gi joe
Star Wars 12 backs in original shipping boxes would be nice🤘$$$$$$$$$$$$
I hope this knocks the prices down on MASK stuff online. I’ve been looking in to getting some & a price break would be nice.
Must be storage units of Kenner Star Wars vintage figures moc out there somewhere
My God how amazing is this? A friend and I have dreamed of finding a warehouse full of original STAR WARS toys.
As late as 1990, I would find new 1977 on star wars toys for sale in Cincinnati. Back then nobody cared. I bought a 1977 packaged tie fighter die cast for $2. I wish I bought more.
As amazing as this is, I was hoping you were going to say that G1 Line of TransFormers was there, including the stockpile of mail-in reflectors.
I had no idea it was more than just MASK found in that warehouse. I really want to get in on getting the mint in box MASK toys, but kind of scared to find out how much they'll cost. Between asking pricing, shipping, and the custom cost.
I remember having M.A.S.K toysas a kid, they were pretty awesome for their time (they still are awesome). My only gripe was it was so damn easy to lose the helmet for the figures, which I did 99% of the time. Would love to see that series come back in a retro collection
I used to write to Kenner and they would actually send me a new one.
🤔 wonder how they forgot about a whole warehouse
Yeah, IKR?
If this were Star Wars, people would lose their damn minds and the economy would probably collapse lol
Cant they ship it the mask action figure to netherlands ther is good deals too do here i ask you i am masive fan and there are other masive fans
There's a guy in the retro game collecting community who collects boxes of games. It's gonna be a bad day for scalpers when he eventually sells it
I still have all of my Star Wars toys l had when I was a kid, and I don't know or care what the value is. It doesn't mean anything to me because I am not going to sell them. Just last year I had a buddy that was after some GI Joe figures, so I packed up the ones he wanted and sent them to him.i found out what other stuff he was after, and proceeded to pack up and send him my entire Joe collection for free(minus the two things I wanted to keep).
But I’m sure you wouldn’t be upset if one was worth thousands :)
You’re a true friend
@@aaronstepien2363 I had my time with them, but it was time for them to go to a new home. Their new life will not be in a box but on display at his house and knowing that makes me happy.
Martin Baker I gave a lot of stuff away that I wasn’t into to a lot of friend’s children myself. I totally get it. Keeps it rewarding on another level when you pay it forward
This is a really awesome toy find! I remember there was a toy website in the early 2000's called plasticdreams.com . I guess they went out of business because the site is gone. I remember reading a story they had about finding a bunch of vintage Kenner Star Wars figure cases and found a bunch of the carded vinyl cape Jawas in them. It's hard to believe that there would be old store stock still sealed in their cases like that locked away somewhere.
Ronnie McKinney I had a vinyl cap Jawa but my evil ex stole it and sold it for crack money
I believe there are a lot of NOS that is waiting to be discovered. I collect Kiss merch, and recently a reseller bought a collection of vintage Kiss posters and iron on transfers from the 1970’s. The prices are still high on them but nice to know that mint copies of these items are still around and are now easier to find.
I remember that site! Their physical location was nearby my house, and I always wanted to visit it. I looked it up a year or so later and, like you said, it was out of business. Rumor has it they were ripping people off. Not sure if they were selling fakes or just not shipping product. It's a shame.
@@mikecarlantone916 Wow! I wouldn't have thought that about them going out of business for those reasons.
@@mikecarlantone916 What city in New Jersey were they located?
This is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen! I love M.A.S.K.! 😛
That's amazing, I think the best way to think about finds like this. It's an opportunity not a loss. Because more people get a chance to enjoy something. Rather than being locked away because of some perceived value.
ppl saying this will destroy the value, but i disagree. the market will adjust, but no reason for it to collapse as some are suggesting.
Also depends on the condition of those boxes hot warehouse for 30 years
@@ThatJunkman that's true, and without even knowing just how many there are, it's impossible to say what affect it will have. it's not as if the market is suddenly flooded with thousands of every figure, there just may be a couple hundred of several figs.
as always, supply and demand. if you were to infuse the vintage 'star wars' market with 300 MOC DT lukes, i dare say the market value won't change significantly, if at all. throw 10K of them out there, and, yeah, the market on those *particular* figs will drop quite a bit, imo.
it's fun to speculate, but our guesses right now are just bullshit.
Wow.....just wow!
😮...How im the fawk does a warehouse just go untouched and unnoticed for over 30 years...❓❓❓ 🤔...Strange...👌🏼
something like this happened back when i was collecting POTF2 figures. i think it was a princess leia figure that was a variation going for like $40, then out of the blue a warehouse of them was found and the price just flopped.
I thought you were talking about the Jim Carrey mask at first
They'd better not try selling them for 100s of dollars.. like it was a whole ass warehouse FULL that to me seems like flooding the market
That is an epic find! =O
I don't have Facebook, but is it known which Mask toys they all have?
Welp, there goes the value!!
Wow what a find Seriously I would love to find something like this
Thanks junkman keep up the great work
Imagine what these collections will be worth in 150-200 years. In 2220, that Star Wars collections will be worth 5 real spaceships!
I think people use the “I collect these for the investment” line, because they are embarrassed to be an adult toy collector and it’s the only way they can justify their hobby to “normies”.
good point ;)
Had MASK toys as a kid. My favorite was RHINO. Very cool find indeed.
Something similar has happened with old Star Wars toys back in the early 90's. There was a liquidator store similar to Odd Lots / Big Lots that had bought a warehouse full of old toys that included cases of the 1985 Power of the Force Star Wars figures. I bought a case and really wish I had bought the rest now.
i need a Switchblade with Miles Mayhem pronto!
Mine is in rough shape, I played with it so much as a kid lol
. I would love a new one.
I want some
I know him for his art! Amazing that this was discovered by him, he's a really nice person too.
it was Marco that found it, he just help him with it
Sometimes karma works out and good things happen to good people
Top men....
OMG !!!
I had quite a few M.A.S.K. toys growing up- most of them I bought with my own money, which was a big deal for me personally. I really don't know what happened to them... I'm pretty sure my mom donated them to the church rummage sale or something- but I wish I still had those old things!!
Thanks for sharing this info, Junkman! Might head over to FB and see just how far out of my price range these vintage toys are!😁
If you find any vintage Star Wars hidden away JM make sure I'm on that list⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If I opened that door and saw all the M.A.S.K toys I would've nut myself lol
Hello Junkman. If you happened to go before me. Could you find it from the biggest place in your heart to write me into your will. If I The Amazing Junkman should die before his time and before my excellent friend Thomas Namtvedt, he is to inherent the golden Indiana Jones littlt Budha Egg thing behind me here on the desk. ...I THINK IN TRUE JEDI SPIRIT YOU NEED TO HELP THE STAR WARS COMMUNITY. Love Thomas*Nammis*Namtvedt May the Force Be With You.
Wow. You just know there's many more forgotten warehouses just waiting to be found. Just packed with old anything.... ? Trippin!
A box with OVP Beast Wars Transmetal Airazor and Terrorsaur was found in a Warehouse here in Germany. I buy Airazor for only 28€ 🙃
I love hearing about these finds 400 Star Wars video is how I found you junkman
Even if you could go back in time and buy a case of 1977 Star Wars toys, yeah they would be worth a lot of money right now; but you would’ve lost that money I’m not investing in something in stocks or bonds. So if you want to head and bought $5000 worth of Star Wars toys and I invested my $5000, I would have a lot more money than you right now after you sold everything.
So there is not much point in investing long-term. If you can find those exclusive figures everybody wants and then sell them right at the perfect moment, you can make some good money, especially if you have scalper programs on your computer
Let see I would keep 3 full sets of both the M.A.S.K. and Sky Commanders, 1 to remained boxed, 1 for display, and 1 to play with just because I'm a collector doesn't mean I can't play with them. As for the rest full fill other collectors dreams of completion only charge 5 dollars over shipping cost and send the toys out. Hey were all collectors we know the struggle of trying to complete a collection and the frustration of not getting the item were so close to getting, might as well help other collectors out and make people happy.
....Quote of the fucking decade..."we collect vintage toys cause we love em....."
mask was my favorite back in the day..still is...that and transformers of course.
I adored them as a kid, It had me asking why this toy-line has never reappeared…? Nostalgia for the 80s is hot right now… Hasbro/Kenner, what are we waiting for?
This is literally a child’s dream come true.
Conversation with the finders was great, a real crazy story indeed
I hope playmates finds a warehouse full of vintage technodromes
This is the stuff dreams are made of! I've always imagined myself getting a shot at something great like this many years after their release. I wonder if they will sell it all off? I also think it's great they are getting back to collector's who will appreciate it. I'm curious if these will actually be cheaper to buy since there are so many of them. Would definitely love Matt Trakker's red car!
Holy 💩! That’s totally awesome,but will probably drive the prices down a bit.
Wow this is an amazing find and im not a huge fan of toys. I think collecting is a good investment for tbe collector and the family ir friends that benefit when the collector passes on.
Yes, put all of those mint condition collectors items next to swimming pool. Real fucking smart.
Wow!!! That is awesome!! Like finding lost treasure!!!
If that exists, is there a warehouse where thousands of Kenner Star Wars toys ended up unsold? I will hold out hope now!
A couple of months ago I was excited to find a Firefly w J Lo in excellent condition at a thrift store. For some reason, that feels a little less special now.
That's crazy those were found. As a 90s baby, it would be amazing if there was a warehouse with figures from the Power of the Force 2 line.
As far as collecting figures/toys that could be worth something someday, a part of me does wonder if some of the unopened figures I got from the '07 and '08 lines might become valuable in the future. I also have an unopened Force Awakens version of Monopoly (without Rey; bought it in early 2016 amidst the "where's Rey?" outcry) and an unopened Force Link First Order Starter Kit from the Last Jedi line (Toys R Us exclusive; bought it a couple of months before Toys R Us closed its doors).
COOL on the Mask stuff! I love the Fred Sanford thing at the end of the video! lol
I nevaer knew this exsited
Good lord, that is a maximum crazy discovery!
Hi God bless you @rls1123rls i like lot toys kenner m.a.s.k
I guess now we know what Hasbro based their current distribution method on.
Its always awesome to see a time capsule of vintage toys found.
Where you at Junkster?? Junk and drunk mate?!! Lol!!!
Junkman its ok. I already have some masks at home. I wear them when I go out.
Holy shit I would of lost my mind mask is my all time favorite cartoon and toy line
neat. Just like all the atari cartridges they found buried in that landfill.
I'd like to buy one of each item, please. My credit card is ready.
Love your new room
thanks
Seeing all that is awesome and would be so cool to find. A modern archaeologist!
Is there a contact to get ahold of to purchase any of the items found?
its like winning super mega lottery for a 9 year old boy.
What are the newly uncovered toys selling for?
Different prices. Depends on what it is. Hard to say over all.
@@ThatJunkman M.A.S.K., mainly.
Also a warehouse of wheeled warriors would be badass
I'll take a case of rhinos an green motorcycle.
I saw two cases of POTF I got my ticket to Chile 😛
Wonder if any boulder hill play sets are in that place?
You collect collectors plates for a investment
Holy crap it's the end of raiders !!
That is an Indiana Jones level find LOL. Awesome!
Yes I bought expensive toys for years, new and old, Star Wars, Transformers, MASK, LEGO, a little G.I. Joe, World's Smallest Matchbox cars, and others. I bought them because of my love for the toys and recreating by childhood by re-buying old toys, or toys I wanted as a child but never had. It may sound silly but they make me happy and I get a good feeling from them.
I didn't buy them to make money and yes vintage toys, videogames etc are a terrible way to try to invest, anyway, if you study it, as you said.
Early into my collecting, I had a mini-find of a semi medium size box full of G1 Transformers and Thunderhawk and Firefly, latter had driver from Volcano for some reason. I did re-buy Thunderhawk and many of the Transformers later on in better condition.
I LOVE MASK, it is my favorite cartoon and toy line from the 80s specifically. I have etter and clearer childhood memories than G1 Transformers due to re-watching VHS recordings many times. Of course it didn't last and go onto become the juggernaut Transformers did, sadly. All I had was the submarine portion of Pirhana. Probably from a garage sale. My family probably figured they were too expensive to buy, especially for a kid my age. Looking at original prices and adjusting for inflation, that theory checks out lol.
As an adult I bought MASK's Thunderhawk, Rhino, Gator, Firecracker, Condor, Firefly (still need pilot as he wasn't in that box,) Hurricane, Raven, and Bulldog. My childhood memory was Bulldog was VENOM and I do like it better that way heh-heh. In my defense he was introduced as a VENOM agent but was really with MASK. :) And Venom's Switchblade, Piranha, Jackhammer, Scorpion, Vampire, and Manta. Don't have Razorback which was one of my favorites as a kid! :( And of course Shark. :( I got the entire series of fan-made DVDs because the officials weren't out yet.
Even as a kid I thought the G.I. Joe cartoon was stupid because it was about a war where no one died. But I liked the toys and their file cards, had a few, became interested in the comic years later after learning about it. I have a few vehicles and Joes from various time periods. We had a fire in the early 90s on New Year's Day (or Eve?) and my brother and I lost our Battle Wagon vehicles we got for Christmas and I haven't gotten another one yet. :(
I LOVE Transformers. Foggy original childhood memories but good ones of Generation 1 Transformers. I could remember Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Hound, and Deception jets clearly. Probably also helped from that children's book telling their origin story. I distinctly recall one Autobot rescuing another from a lake, which was from the opening miniseries it turns out. As a child, I only had Jetfire, the Go-Bot "Future Machine," and a Generation 2 Autobot ironically called Go-Bots. An orange race car with a water gun and color-changing hood. The idea was he was gung-ho about the cause and like a cheerleader or yell leader, as in "GO, 'BOTS!," therefore Go-bots! Yeah lol.
As a kid, I bought Jetfire and the Future Machine at a flea market. I remember Jetfire was missing a hand and of course all his weapons and accessories. I loved that the head turned into a gun turret in jet mode and was fascinated by the double-faced Autobot symbol, rub stamp (rub to change color to reveal affiliation) and the cockpit. Something about those old sealed interiors behind windows on old Transformers. Especially the smoke colored windows. :) Sadly Jetfire and Future Machine went up in the fire too. I still had Go-Bots, though the front of the car/shoulder armor was broken off and the weapon was gone. So it must have been bought after the fire. I thought for sure my brother got a Generation 2 jet or plane but I never found it in my/our stuff, and I cannot remember which one it was. Maybe he got something else that day instead. I will ask him about it some time.
Fast forward to adulthood, Future Machine was one of the toys in that $20 flea market box. I had to re-buy Jetfire for $200, but he was complete, and with a styrofoam insert, no box. My favorite childhood Transformer was the most expensive. D: I re-bought Go-Bots and a water shooting Decepticon dune buggy called Jetstream to go with him. I got back into Transformers with Beast Wars and got all the current line, at that time, late Transmetals and Transmetals 2, got previous characters and then G1, more Transformers than I can count or name. Also Beast Machines. I bought some VHS episodes from Rhino Entertainment, and then fan recording copies of the whole series from a guy on a Geocities website around 1999 or so, since the full series was not out officially yet. I definitely need to upgrade that or convert them to DVD and then digital. I have the full series of Beast Wars and Beast Machines on DVD.
WHEW!
I will edit or reply to add Star Wars, LEGO, and World's Matchbox Cars later. I gotta catch a nap. :) Great video thanks for telling us about this, Junkman. :)
Good story!
@@aaronstepien2363 Thanks!
What a wet dream come true. Good for him. Dam him too!
I did not want to watch this but I did.... I want those toys....
I wish I could buy them
I am an un-boxer
I want to hold the toy in my hand
So if we join this Mask FB group we can find out how to purchase these toys?
yes
Where can i buy some!!!!!!????
I saw a Tamiya RC car. Sweet
You need to type in ( Frank Beech toy shop Wales. ) They found an abandoned toy shop in the UK full of vintage toys and boxed star wars.. great photos...
I’ll check that out
@@ThatJunkman Its the dream find of a shop we all look for and know are still out there... and kind of sad to see the end of small independent toy shops.
That is really cool!
So are these on eBay now?
Lucky...
Annunciate
Whoahhhhj
That guy doesnt have to work anymore, for the rest of his life. Each indivudual package is worth hundreds to over a thousand. And each box has like 6 packages. So a box could be worth $3000-$6000. Those toys came with comic books too. All of it prestine and taped airtight.
Its like finding the tomb of King Tut!!!!
👏👏👏 J.M that was a very good point you make about investment's & really if a person is just collecting to resell, then they arn't really a collector, more like a finance broker. On the flup side, I would love to get some of that stuff. Cheers👍🏻🍻
Ive had probably 1 toy miracle somewhat similar to this on a much smaller scale..In 1997(here in Philly)there was a model shop run by this old man,that’s been there since at least the mid 70”s.By the 90’s I never see the store open anymore.But thru the window I spot an old Star Trek rpg I use to play in the 80’s buried under a bunch of models.So one day I look in the window again and the old man is there but the store is closed..So I knock on the window and he lets me in..Long story short,I found some really cool stuff in there including a carded 12 back Jawa,a mego carded SpiderMan,Robin and Hulk,a carded Leia(Bespin), a M Jackson figure boxed,a planet Apes cardboard playset,and a neat set of welcome back korter figures all carded..My best toy day find ever!
Wow, thank you for sharing this story, Junkman! That is incredible. I recently went into the attic and pulled out all my MASK toys. Just posted a video about them yesterday. Thanks again for this story - incredible!
Hey Junk,You had a good toy day a while back.Nothing like this but you found a vintage SW ROTJ Figure before K-mart went down..That’ll probably never happen again
