Excellent video! Must say I love the intro music and the hype you create around vintage Star Wars items. It makes the collecting and appreciation for it so cool! And you make it about the items being iconic,nostalgic and one of a kind and not about the investment. And you cut out the waffle and get to the point…keep em coming!
THANK YOU for the kind words and spot of encouragement MRK! That does mean a lot to me! I have fun with it and love creating these videos for you. Thank you SO much for watching and commenting my friend!
GREAT Addition! I should have included that, but THANK you for dropping the knowledge on me! I had no idea that was also a distributer of the SW line! Thanks Kiwi!
I am Australian and currently binging your buying run series and came here to say the same as Kiwi Droid re Toltoys even though I know his comment is a year old it is timely now with the recent AFA50 Toltoy carded vinyl cape Jawa going for an astounding US$49,000 at auction in the USA last month. Vinyl cape Jawas were very common in Australia when I was a kid and I was miffed when I was given a cloth one one birthday as it didn't match any of the others in my collection. Sadly none of them survived to my collection today. Also just an aside, as an Australian I don't recall ever seeing a Toltoy branded card here. All my surviving cardbacks purchased from toy shelves in Australia from 1978-1985 are straight Kenner.
Great terminology recap Joey. Great to have a single video to cover it all. And your MOC is ++++++. 😉 Another stellar entry. Catch you next episode my friend.
Thanks FD!!! I’m glad the videos are useful to you and I’m honored that you are watching my friend! If there are videos that you’d ever like me to cover, just let me know! MTFBWY!
Insightful video. Thanks! I have the Early Bird set from Christmas 1977. My figures came late January 1978. They came with the little white pegs that would hold the figures onto the carboard display. I never thought about collecting so I tore the figures out of their card and played with them. If I buy figures I buy them loose.
Thats awesome that you have the early bird set!!! I would love to collect that one day just for the historical aspect of that piece. Thank you for your comment and thoughts, Jef. MTFBWY
I never heard of that one! I guess there are plenty more out there and more that I’ll probably hear for the first time coming up lol. Thanks for watching Zuckuss! Always an honor to read your comments
As always, great Video Joey. I remember being confused on all those acronyms also. Congrats on that MOC Lando. Also, I think Top Toys was the distributor for Argentina!
Yea I left out a few that I should have included, that one especially. There is also the AU distribution that I didn’t include. So many! Thanks for watching Javier and I hope all is well!
Back in the day factories in Europe (& I’m not sure where else) used imported parts from Hong Kong that they would paint and assemble…hence all the variants. The “raised bar” was used to cover up the Made In Hong Kong C.O.O..
Hi Joey, here’s one I hope no one else brought to ur attention. I have a moc of the Gamorean guard & it’s called a “mim”. Meaning, made in Mexico. Lily Ledy made figures for the American market & that’s how that happened. They do say Kenner on the front but it says on the back “made in Mexico”. Please double check urs & show it on a future episode if it happens to be a mim.
Awesome again Joey! Took me ages to get used to all the terms when I started buying online years ago. Love that Lando MOC. Definitely worth getting it graded. Can’t wait to see what grade it gets. I’m guessing 80 🤘 Take care dude
Another term that is used on ebay is Vintage "Complete", this is usually a warning that the figure is considered complete because it comes with repro cape and/or weapon(s)
I have been BURNED by that "Complete" term on eBay!!! I may do a deep dive into eBay buying, so that would be a GREAT one to include! Thanks for watching Derek!
Well Joey check that spelling on your Palitoy - 'Brittish' just the one 't'' on that matey...all these anachronisms gave me a headache too when I got back into collecting again, even some groups have 'group' anachronisms which make it twice as hard! Love your Lando, so much temptation just to rip him straight off and play with him 😂 Another awesome episode and I'll be checking out Hitchville l8tr on 👍👌
Hahaha yes all of these items I get in sealed cards I do always have that temptation to rip them open and play with them. But the preservationist in me wants to keep them MOC for other generations to see what these looked like as you saw them on the shelf. That’s why I have a loose collection as well :). These are meant to be held and played with also. And thanks for the notes on the spelling :). I appreciate that!
Another winning video; thank you for sharing! I was thinking about my figures that I sent into CAS, four months ago, for those people that say time goes by quickly, I suggest they send some figures to get graded, time moves like molasses (hehe).
MOSC -Mint on Sealed Cardback one thing to be aware of is regional differences. Both in NY and in the Seattle area, the clubs refer to a MOC (Mint on Card) as a cardback that is mint and the figure is mint and as new but the bubble is allowed to be open. -where a MOSC is a mint cardback and figure where the bubble is also mint and this has never ever been opened. Mint on Sealed Cardback. What I am wondering is if this designation of MOSC is just regional to the PNW and the NE states or if it’s a term that is on its way out of fashion?? What do you think? No longer necessary or is it a regional thing? Thanx for another great video, Joey.
Thanks John! I’ve seen that term on one of the Facebook groups, but only a very few times. I have to search and see what region that person was from. That’s got me wondering now! Thank you for watching brother and I hope you and your fam had a great holiday
That’s a damn straight card my friend! You’re right those ROTJ bubbles are notorious for yellowing! And You know me, some of my fav COO are NO, PBP FTW when it comes to my troopers! Manage to snag any MISB recently? Then again I heard you sometimes like them loose LOL 🤓, as long as they are tight!😉 MTFBWY
DOH!!!! It happens! I placed a comment and pinned it! I HATE making mistakes! Thanks for catching that Michael! And thanks for watching! Sorry for the mistake
@@thepadawancollectorofficial lol I think its a parody from an episode of Dexters Lab. they're at a barbie convention and they open a mib toy. everyone on the convention floor is shocked in horror while chanting "nrfb" repeatedly as they are then forced into a Klingon style death battle.
At 9:23 I say 1997 - But mean to say 1977 - Sorry for that mistake.
That MOC is great. Makes you feel like a kid again and seeing it in the stores.
The nostalgia factor is in full effect whenever I get an MOC or a boxed item! Def takes me back to the Toys R Us isles! Thanks for watching Raging!

another amazing video passing on great knowledge onto all the padawans! Than you as always
Thank YOU Dave for all the amazing content that YOU create. I am about to finish watching your new camera video today :)
Another informative video, thank Joey- another distributor for your list is Toltoys which distributed the Kenner line in Australia and New Zealand.
GREAT Addition! I should have included that, but THANK you for dropping the knowledge on me! I had no idea that was also a distributer of the SW line! Thanks Kiwi!

Thank you Mopar! And thank you for watching my friend!!!
Another great video! Also MOMC - Mint On Mint Card!
I’ve never heard that one before! I guess I need to add it to the book lol. Thanks for watching my friend!
Watching your videos are very helpful as I start my vintage collecting journey. Thanks!
Thanks FD!!! I’m glad the videos are useful to you and I’m honored that you are watching my friend! If there are videos that you’d ever like me to cover, just let me know! MTFBWY!
Great Lando MOC !
Thanks brother! It was the first MOC of this run and I had to get it graded :)
If you need to catch up on past episodes, here is the ENTIRE playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLpie6yd_DzKMgLFbBo7zTot-QAEplXRda.html
Fantastic vid on all the initialisations that we have to navigate! Nice MOC ROTJ Lando BTW!
Thank you Soda! And thanks for watching!
Awesome vid! Thanks heaps. So much gold in here for newbies like me. 😎😎😎
Thanks Phil! And thank you for watching my friend! I hope all is well
The card is great! Bubble undented, yes it's yellow, but no big deal, I see that being graded an 80 to 80+. Worth grading. Nice hunting
Hey wampa! Yea I hope so! That’s the one I’m most looking forward to getting back :). Thanks for watching my friend!
You've come a long way in such short period of time. Great episode!
Thank you DMR! And thank you for watching my friend!
Great video! So informative! I want to learn more about the COOs and factories!
Yea I might do another one just on the factories and COOs. That could fill an episode lol. Thank you for watching my friend!

Great video as always. I've never heard of NOC. I knew MOC was figure mint on card and MOMC mint on mint card

The term raised bar comes up alot as well.i still don't know what it is.anothergreat episode
If you look at some of the country of origin stamps, they are on a raised bit of plastic (the bar). This isn’t the case with all figures though .
@John Bolton is correct. I've only seen them on a few figures and NONE that I own currently. Thank you for watching Retro!
Thanks guys you learn something new every day
Back in the day factories in Europe (& I’m not sure where else) used imported parts from Hong Kong that they would paint and assemble…hence all the variants. The “raised bar” was used to cover up the Made In Hong Kong C.O.O..
Great video, as always!
Thank you Die! And thank you for watching!
Great video congratulations on your moc lando 👍
Thanks Andrew! And thank you for watching!
Hi Joey, here’s one I hope no one else brought to ur attention. I have a moc of the Gamorean guard & it’s called a “mim”. Meaning, made in Mexico. Lily Ledy made figures for the American market & that’s how that happened. They do say Kenner on the front but it says on the back “made in Mexico”. Please double check urs & show it on a future episode if it happens to be a mim.
I have a lily Ledy loose gammy but my Kenner MOC is a made in Hong Kong. But that’s a good tip to check out!
Awesome again Joey! Took me ages to get used to all the terms when I started buying online years ago. Love that Lando MOC. Definitely worth getting it graded. Can’t wait to see what grade it gets. I’m guessing 80 🤘
Take care dude
I would love an 80! Thank you for watching my friend!!
This is a great episode i was lost about general mills I thought it was a cereal toy inside box or something lol
Haha! Thanks for watching my friend!
Great video. Very informative 💪😉
Thank you Deano!!!
Excellent video and congrats on the amazing Lando card. I love how MOCs look but with a little one at home I am afraid of them getting opened lol.
Haha that would be quite the discovery to make having a little one open up a boba Fett MOC lol. Thanks for watching Paul!
@@thepadawancollectorofficial luckily my lesson was learned with a moc mandalorian vintage collection figure so no real loss.
Good video. Just subscribed
