This is still one of the best toy related videos of all time. I have to come back at least once a year to watch it. Probably the kindest thing anyone in the history of the global toy community has ever done.
I recently discovered your channel and have been doing a deep dive. This almost brought a tear to my eyes. Thanks for sharing your experiences on this trip and connecting with other people across the world with common interests. This is how communities should be.
Mr.French, I thought i had seen everything, and i am not an emotional man, but the way you have handled this whole situation, with class and dignity, has restored my faith in humanity. this video literally brought tears to my eyes. you sir, are awesome.
I often come back to this video to watch again when I need my faith in the collector’s community to be restored. This is what collecting is all about… human connection. One love!!!
This channel is categorically the best channel on TH-cam. You guys are gold. The world doesn’t deserve you. Unbelievable honour and love. Lost for words watching this!!
The IMPORTANT Part in ALL of this... IS Retroblasting/Michael taking on this assignment.. On one hand, it's sad to the length and resources Michael/Melinda had to go through to PROVE CERTAIN people wrong. On the OTHER hand it goes to show WHY Retroblasting is OUR place. Retroblasting represents US.. individuals that grew up loving these toys, went on to become educated, professionals, have families of our own.. Retroblasting Represents US, regardless of color/faith/class...Representing the heart , character US fans have carried over into adulthood. WE all know ( and I personally) agree with the position on the Sail Barge.... REGARDLESS of that feeling the joy of seeing Brent Finally get to enjoy something he has worked hard on is all the reward Michael need. I tip my cap and have the utmost in respect for this man ( and Melinda too) for their efforts.. Ladies and Gentlemen THIS IS CLASS...THIS IS COMPASSION.. THIS is Retroblasting to the core..
Thanks for leaving such a kind comment, man. It's an honor seeing you post here. And thank you again for your support during the whole hoax debacle. - Michael
This is why Retroblasting is my favorite vintage toy review channel, its not about the views, its about connecting with people. Michael deserves all the warm hospitality and I am so happy for him. =)
@@JONNYSORENSEN_AU I don't know, all I know is a person to me is defined by their actions. As I once heard Men make promises, Heroes keep them. What I mean is anyone can this n that and promise anything. Its their actions that define their character/ or lack of I know this guy never promised jack but I think if he stands up as a man and say yeah I was wrong and I apologize I think will go a long way with a lot of folks on YT
Kylie had to be in this video ; ) Hats off to the Retroblasting team. Retroblasting doing what needs to be done and whats right and then go the extra mile. Really enjoyed this video. The smile on Brents face when he opens the box, priceless. This video made me feel good.
This.... This, is what makes RB the heart and soul of the collecting community. How many people would make the hero's journey that Mike made? Very few, I'd wager.
This is amazing what you did for Brent! Thanks from all Star Wars and toy collectors in general for helping the Barge get home! You literally went the extra mile!
I knew you guys would comes through. I never had any doubt. Not only are you good collectors,but you're great people. Love ya,Mike,Melinda and everyone at RB.
This is not B.S. I had the same problem and I'm from Sydney, the East coast and my barge is at a friend of my brother in law's house in California. My barge will come in September when my brother in law attends his friend's wedding. So no.....this story is very true unfortunately.
@Tony Nasser Cool, when I backed the Barge I was wondering if they would release it for Australia ( although you got it on ebay) and they did, along with Europe. Did you get the making of the Barge booklet too?. That is one thing I got thru Hasbro easily.
@Tony Nasser I had the same thought.....now or never basically. Don't worry man because money comes and goes and this is a dream Star Wars vehicle in the making from 1983. I just bought a 1980 Hankin The Empire strikes back pinball machine last month and I don't regret a thing as it's very rare only 350 made here in Australia. If you want it bad enough, don't procrastinate about getting it as it may pass you by.....just get it. Just waiting for my Sail barge now lol.
Amazing story. My respect level for Michael and Retroblasting has reached an unmeasurable level. I’m so proud of your efforts to make this happen. Congratulations!
This was the best thing Retroblasting has ever done in its history. Against all odds, you made the impossible happen. I'm so happy for Brent to finally get his barge, I'm happy for you, Michael, that he got benefits and rewards for his efforts, and not necessarily just material ones. But, most of all, I am very proud of you, Michael, for seeing it through to the end. That is the act of a real friend. And I salute you, and feel proud to know you and call you friend. 😎👍
This ending is one I NEVER would have expected! An exemplary effort done by exceptional people. Very proud of RetroBlasting and thank you for sharing this with us!
Meanwhile, at the Legion of Doom, Danoby2 angrily wrings his hands in anguish at his humiliating defeat! You haven’t seen the last of me, Retroblasting!!!!!
@@JeffreyPiatt A month ago doesn't do much for the people who wanted to secure the barge a year ago when it was being crowdfunded...Hasbro should have had an international shipping option... period. If they did, this whole debacle would never have occured. If Super7 can do it, why can't the largest toy maker?
As I just commented on someone else's post, I literally had tears in my eyes throughout most of this video! It's not about my anger towards Hasbro anymore, it's about the EXCEPTIONAL human beings at Retrobalsting. I could write a literal essay on the impact you have just made on me. All I will say is, if someone would have told me around seven years ago when I saw your VERY first video, and even four years ago when I finally subscribed to your channel, that that a collector/retro channel would help restore my very faith in humanity, I would have laughed almost hysterically. All I will say is that you Michael and Retroblasting are no longer reviewers of pop/geek culture heroes, you ARE literal heroes to me!!! I'll Message my sentiments to you in full later, but I want the whole social media WORLD to know that NO other TH-cam channel compares to Retroblasting!!!! NONE!
this whole situation is messed up I give you guys a huge salute for keeping your cool with that TH-cam who gave you a hard time Brent is very lucky to have friends like you
There is so much darkness in our world. This is a definitive example on how to be your fellow man's sunlight. Been with this channel since day one. Bravo Retroblasting. You're more than a channel. You are a role model.
Been waiting for this. We see this as an end result of an unfortunate situtation but what I appreciate is the fact that someone can do this that a bigger production company cannot. Imagine the cost, time and effort retroblasting spent to make this happen. Hell the planning process along is hard enough. Props to you retroblasting... this should not be the end result your move Hasbro and that other channel...
When I commented on your second video about Brent’s Barge I did not expect at all that you’d attempt to bring it on a plane but I’m super glad it worked and Brent was able to get his barge. Also I think the barge qualifies as a rare sculpture haha
I have always been impressed with the integrity of everyone involved with this channel, and if there's anyone out there who can't (or won't) see this as proof of that, they are truly blind. Thank you for sharing this journey with us.
Once again, Mike, Melinda, and the the entirety of the Retroblasting crew, along with those outspoken members of the community who aided in the positive resolution to this literal adventure, you are truly a class act. Hat's off to you for your cander, true grit, and honorable souls through this endeavor. Finally, to Brent, I hope the sail barge is as great as you hoped it would be!
I have been a subscriber for a while. I just came upon this old episode. How awesome of you, brother. I was in a very bad spot personally when this was happening. I am so happy to think that while I was going through that terrible time, there were good people, and good deeds were still taking action. Thank you, Michael and Melinda.
Yeah, that is a beast of a flight I remember it from Westpac years ago. Hello to your Dad, Melinda and all the crew who made this possible 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽!!! This solidified my loyalty to RB!!!
Great video and a job very well done. Really pleased that Brent got his barge and that you had an awesome time and made new friends doing it. Retroblasting, you are definitely a truly special channel. Well done.
This puts retroblasting that one step ahead of your average TH-cam channel, they care wholeheartedly. I’m proud to be a subscriber, and congratulations brent. Mike and melinda made happen what hasbro refused to do. And no coffee mugs involved..😂
Never a doubt in my mind RetroBlasting would make this happen! Touching story. You truly evoke the morals of our beloved heroes from the eighties. It's hard to find the words to put together . Until All are One, cheers ReroBlasting🙏
Wonderful. It's great that you could get the barge to Brent. Also love Brent's accent. It's the same accent as Peter Jackson to my ears. Viva la Retroblasting.
i knew it. You guys went above and beyond with this. like you do with everything , i suspect. i did not know how you guys would pull this one off , but you did. in true Retroblasting fashion ! I only can take my hat off and say "well done" .
Rewatching this almost a year later. What an awesome thing to do. Just one more example of retroblasting’s credibility and devotion to being an incredible group of people.
Michael, you are such an amazing person. If the world was more like you, it would be more of a beautiful place to live in. Every other channel on youtube should strive to be like this one.
Dude ,you are not crazy. Wish the world had more like you. I met a new female friend in Cardiff UK through her store on Ebay of all places. I'm actually planning to go to Cardiff next summer to meet her in person.
Michael, what a incredible thing to do for brent this proves anything is possible through collecting and fandom. this plan getting the barge to Melbourne Australia was impressive. what an amazing task for you to take on!
While this is an extremely thoughtful gesture, it will also go down as one of the biggest "fuck you's" in TH-cam history. Michael traveled all the way to Australia to deliver, not just a toy, but to also deliver his middle finger to all the naysayers. Brilliant.
This has been one of my favourite videos you guys have done. Not just for the mission to Brent but the life event that happened for you Michael getting to meet people you’ve known for 20 years. I could tell how much it meant to you to meet your friend that day at the vintage toy fair. So happy for Brent to get his special delivery but also very happy that old friends were found and new friends made.
Rewatching this, such a great episode displaying the generosity of people. If you've lost a little faith in in humanity ... or you work in retail, give this episode watch or rewatch as a reminder there are still good people out there!
A tear is brought to my eye by this. Its the talk of childhood and toys out of reach, that despite the difference in years (I'm a child of the early 2000s) that kicks up a nostalgic sadness in a recent High School Graduate.
27 Haters out there can't get over the fact that you are a man of your word. SHAME on those haters and anyone else that thumbs down this video. #RetroBlasting4thewin

This is still one of the best toy related videos of all time. I have to come back at least once a year to watch it. Probably the kindest thing anyone in the history of the global toy community has ever done.
This is why I will be a lifelong fan of this channel.
I agree
Same!
I am so proud of Retroblasting, you go the extra mile for fans. I knew my Terror Drome belonged with people of such integrity and honor!🙂
This is why we love RetroBlasting! Very best wishes from Worthing, West Sussex, UK

nice to see that there are people with such principles to go way above and beyond to help others 👍👍
That was a nice touch bringing broken Vader slong for the trip.
Safe travels to you.

Thanks for leaving such a kind comment, man. It's an honor seeing you post here. And thank you again for your support during the whole hoax debacle. - Michael
I hope danoby2 is enjoying that big plate of crow he's eating right about now.
i did leave a message with him about the fantastic compitition he said he'd run if the barge got delivered :)
You mean "''A' TH-camr?" What a schmuck.
Give him some hot sauce 😁
Crow? He's gonna have to eat a plate of pterodactyl after this.
@UCW7Nw8Gx5YhCeU__Rd3WP0w he took them all down then went silent.
You're not a hero, you're a g*dd*mn LEGEND, man! Nicely done!
I am a collector from New Zealand, he is absolutely right about collection outside of the US. Thanks for happening us out Retroblasting
Retroblasting delivers in more ways than one.
Fantastic job guys, hope Brent enjoys the barge!
That was super cool of you to do this for that fellow! Much respect, Sir!
This is absolutely incredible. You've done what Hasbro were incapable of doing. What a fantatsic video and what an amazing outcome!
This is why Retroblasting is my favorite vintage toy review channel, its not about the views, its about connecting with people. Michael deserves all the warm hospitality and I am so happy for him. =)
We all had a great time. Showing you around was just as much fun for us. Andrew
Wow it's been two years already? Again very kind of you Michael to do this. The ultimate fan helping another ulitmate fan!
To quote Darth Vader. "This will be a day long remembered."
Hate to say it but there's a missed opportunity. Would have loved to hear Broken Vader say that.
I would bet my entire toy collection that this would be happened!!
Well done guys, well done!
Looks like old Danny boy is going to have to put down the half-naked dolls and film a apology video pretty soon. Great job, Michael!
considering what d-bag he is, I doubt it very much
@@Cavillier1970 but click baiting TH-camrs who make false accusations are known for their integrity amd heartfelt apologies right?
@@JONNYSORENSEN_AU I don't know, all I know is a person to me is defined by their actions. As I once heard Men make promises, Heroes keep them.

Is he the guy who said he'd give away a sailbarge in a raffle if Retro posted proof it was delivered to Brent in Australia?
Kylie had to be in this video ; ) Hats off to the Retroblasting team.
Retroblasting doing what needs to be done and whats right and then go the extra mile. Really enjoyed this video. The smile on Brents face when he opens the box, priceless. This video made me feel good.
Man, it looked so much faster with a music montage, a map, and a few red lines.
Class. That's what what this. Class and honor.
This.... This, is what makes RB the heart and soul of the collecting community. How many people would make the hero's journey that Mike made? Very few, I'd wager.
Firstly: Brent, kudos for a DAMNED nice home!
Secondly, bless you Mike and Melinda and the community for making this happen. Absolutely fantastic.
This is amazing what you did for Brent! Thanks from all Star Wars and toy collectors in general for helping the Barge get home! You literally went the extra mile!
One of the best and genuinely heartfelt videos I've seen on this platform. Good on you! Cheers and continue to be blessed Mr. French!
I love how this actually happened dang i respect this channel's dedication and drive. This will be one of my new fav collector's channels
What a great opportunity to do the right thing and meet more collectors! Great job.
i don't get the 54 dislikes. This is the most positive video i've seen in a long time.
Best video of 2022!!!
I knew you guys would comes through. I never had any doubt. Not only are you good collectors,but you're great people. Love ya,Mike,Melinda and everyone at RB.
11 : 30 That's not a knife !
We needed Paul Hogan to bust through the wall like Koolaid Man at that moment !
Now THAT'S a knife !
I was thinking the exact same thing!! Great minds think alike!

The only con artist in this situation was Danoby. I'm certain he doesn't care and never actually did.
Hasbro's utter incompetence never ceases to amaze me...its a shame it takes a TH-cam channel and fan community to do what Hasbro won't. Cheers!

Michael's Big Day Out.

I’m so glad to see this video. It’s nice to see the story brought to a fitting end.

26 plus minutes of seeing the best in humanity! Right on, you did real good, real good>
Hi Michael's Dad!!!
Regarding the jacket.... leather never retires... it just gets better over time.
7:49 I was waiting for that!!!!!! LOL!!
You folks are heroes. I would venture to your town just to shake your hands.
Great experience, Michael! Thanks to share it with us!
Never a doubt in my mind RetroBlasting would make this happen! Touching story. You truly evoke the morals of our beloved heroes from the eighties. It's hard to find the words to put together . Until All are One, cheers ReroBlasting🙏
What a great story. You showed it to the doubters! I think the tour was great and Brent was happy about so much commitment.
Man you guys are so awesome! I'm glad the sail barge got to where it belonged!
What an amazing feat, a trio to remember, such support to make this happen,, friendships made, just an epic. Bravo Mike and Melinda!
Awesome Job Taking The Barge To The Other Side Of The World.👍
Wonderful. It's great that you could get the barge to Brent. Also love Brent's accent. It's the same accent as Peter Jackson to my ears. Viva la Retroblasting.

So damn proud of someone I’ve never met. Top job! Love this channel so much.
Michael, you are such an amazing person. If the world was more like you, it would be more of a beautiful place to live in. Every other channel on youtube should strive to be like this one.
Mike and Mel, this is just simply amazing; I salute you both. If you two ever get to South Florida, drop me a line - drinks are on me.
Dude ,you are not crazy. Wish the world had more like you. I met a new female friend in Cardiff UK through her store on Ebay of all places. I'm actually planning to go to Cardiff next summer to meet her in person.
