Had one as a child, sadly my mother got rid of it as she thought it was too scary. I had an opportunity to buy one again mint in box in the late 90s for about $300 I regret not doing that.
It seems like maybe the benefit/profit return on the videos isn't or wasn't worth the hours it takes to film and edit them especially when you are already running a business all day. I think the point of the videos now are to make short videos to keep their name out there for people who are unfamiliar with the store.
What I loved about 80’s toy marketing is they created toys targeted at children for movies that were rated R or MA at the time like Aliens or Terminator knowing full well kids had either snuck in at the theatre to see it or eventually saw it on VHS at home
Thanks for the show I look forward to this every Saturday morning. I’m watching the Toy Attic episode where they came in to tour the store and interview you, that was really cool too.
Can you please try and make your vids a bit longer.I know you guys are really busy as is.Honestly it is one of the only highlights of my week.I am a fan from the UK.❤Love you guys.😊.
I to hope for the return of longer videos and new episodes of the podcast. I would love to see the Alien movie toys in detail. Did the Turtles van sell? Happy New Year all!
kenner alien toys were among the first tied to rated R movies. it's interesting that a thing can be more valuable because it was a failure. did you sell a turtle van transformer? tune in next week for the exciting conclusion!
9:35 - Happy New Year! I think it's a fun video that shows the guys hanging out during a lull in the day. Especially when contrasted with the busy con footage! (🤔 Similar to the opening scene of "Cars"... quiet... LOUD... quiet... LOUD!!! 😅) What better way to pass the time than to talk sales and challenge yourself to transforming a complicated toy without instructions?
great stuff. cool how you cut between transforming and the purchase. great lighting all over 😂😂😂. keep creating your work, that’s what we are here for.
AUSOME SHOW!!!! THANK U 4 SHARING!!!!! CAN NOT WAIT 4 YOU ALL'S NEXT CRAZY ADVENTURE!!!!! UNTIL THEN!!! ❤ HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! ❤😂🎉⚡️🧟♀️🧌📔💣💣💥🕹🕹🐶🐶🕷🕷🎖🏅🏅🏅🏅☀️🕰🕰🔥🔥🥈🥈⚓️⚓️⚓️🦇🦇🦇👕🌈🧟🥉🥉🌝📺🕯🕯🕯🎮🎮👍📢📕📕⏰️☄️☄️🕸🤡💢💢💢🦹🦹🦹⚖️🧟♂️🧟♂️🥇⏰️✌️😂🤣🤣
Don't be stubborn with modern Transformers, just use the instructions for the first time! I would never buy that thing after watching you guys manhandle it! That being said, you're 💯 correct; the packaging was a mistake and has held back sales. It should've been in a G1-styled box like Ecto-1 and the DeLorean. And yes, absolutely it should've been packed in van mode!
"I LACK PEOPLE SKILLS' Just the shirt you want your front line employee wearing while serving customers in your retail business lol. But I get the irony?
Love your store love collecting toys love watching you guys with the toys keep it up never stop and I can’t wait for you guys to bring the podcast back.
Recently transformed my G1 Megatron for the first time in years. Took me a minute coz I'd completely forgotten how to do it. Held my breath with every twist and turn thinking I'd break it, lol. Narrator: he didn't. P.S. Still haven't solved the Rubik's Cube, 44 years and counting 🤷♀😆
"Worst episode ever." Still think you guys should shoot these as a day in the shop; opening it up, closing it down, and all the best shenanigans in between.
The tmnt transformers crossover is my personal top 3 in all the crossovers it’s just the chunkiness of the toy that could be a pain but other than that it’s a solid toy with so many playable things todo with it. Also another great episode!
As soon as i get interested in the Aliens stuff you cut back to a man struggling to put a transformer together. If you haven't got enough content for a video, dont release one.
1:40 That’s BEEN my complaint about the modern Transformers. Why can’t it COME AS the “vehicle mode”❓😡 Some, once in awhile do, like “Legacy Blitzwing”.
I’m surprised that Ben Cooper Alien mask didn’t get called out back in the day. I probably don’t need to spell it out why. Another excellent Toy Federation video though.
Dude why not just read and follow the instructions on the TMNT Transformer? That Alien(s) collection was insanely rare, but I could never justify those prices. lol
Thank you so much for this amazing video! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
The turtle mode of Party wallop is meh at its very best. However the van mode is near perfection. I will never understand why Hasbro packaged it in turtle mode. Awful decision.
Love transformers but don't own any because of this reason. Lol I have a thunder machine Soundwave. Mash up I got but gifting it to a buddy just Because he can transform it with out breaking it 😂😂 YO JOE
Now is not the time to invest in new. Stick to Vintage. Get ahead of price dropping to move inventory. Dont spend too much ove rthe next six months. Wait and see what happens economically and plan to start buying again in September.
Any Kenner alien collectors or fans?
Had one as a child, sadly my mother got rid of it as she thought it was too scary. I had an opportunity to buy one again mint in box in the late 90s for about $300 I regret not doing that.
The aliens are still low price, I got all the marines a few years ago carded for about $65
Love all things Xenomorph, if anyone from Neca is watching this, PLEASE make more colonial marines 👍
@@underwaterlevelz1947 The 90s ones sure, but this is the large 80s one released for the first film.
Love the vintage kenner aliens
I really miss your 20-30 minute videos.
I'm with you!
First thing I look at. First guessed 14 mins. Seen 10mins. Smh
I don't recall any 30 minute videos. But for sure, they're typically 15-20 minutes...this is just unfortunately a shorter than average one.
@@Chalor.they have plenty of videos that are 20+ minutes and some that are 30+ minutes.
It seems like maybe the benefit/profit return on the videos isn't or wasn't worth the hours it takes to film and edit them especially when you are already running a business all day.

The turtle van does have storage for all the accessories and weapons. Its actually a great design.
What I loved about 80’s toy marketing is they created toys targeted at children for movies that were rated R or MA at the time like Aliens or Terminator knowing full well kids had either snuck in at the theatre to see it or eventually saw it on VHS at home
Yeah back then it was understood that kids liked violent action too.
its funny seeing you guys struggle with the turtle party wallop you guys are obviously not turtles fans or transformers fans lol
This episode is missing 15-to-20 MINUTES.
Miss the longer vids
Dumbest thing about the tf turtle van is NOT making it Metalhead, which was teased in a vintage retailer catalog from Playmates but never released. 😮
this is like saturday morning cartoons for adults raised in the 80-90s
I was hoping the end scene was the turtle van being sold lol would have been a nice bookend.
Why so short?
Wish u guys would have more 20-30 min videos , the short ones r good but I miss the longer ones .
The 20-30min vids were the best
That Alien target is incredible! Never seen that before. The box itself is a work of art
Thanks for the show I look forward to this every Saturday morning. I’m watching the Toy Attic episode where they came in to tour the store and interview you, that was really cool too.
Can you please try and make your vids a bit longer.I know you guys are really busy as is.Honestly it is one of the only highlights of my week.I am a fan from the UK.❤Love you guys.😊.
10min video is too short. I really enjoy the channel and seeing the shop. I look forward to the weekend for new videos!
I’m guessing that kids weren’t too keen on spending 30 minutes to transform that…hence the poor sales 😂😂
Fighting with that transformer was the worst intro ever 😂
“I’m so close!” Still trying to figure it out five minutes in 🤣
That Transform but was like watching an old man open a jar...
I to hope for the return of longer videos and new episodes of the podcast. I would love to see the Alien movie toys in detail. Did the Turtles van sell? Happy New Year all!
Yeah i normally not comment, but i wait all week for a wonder episode and love the material, but at least 20mins would be nice if not more.
Great video! I liked the mix of shop and convention footage.
Way to short. Hopefully it was just slow and the longer videos will be back soon.
If it's anything like the podcast, I wouldn't count on it.
"too", not "to".
videos are getting too short!
So did the transformer sell by the end of the day?
Im glad to know I am not the only one who struggles for hours to make a transformer a vehicle
WE NEED LONGER VIDEOS PLEEEEEEASE!!!!!!
We need more toy federation uploads in 2025
Videos keep getting shorter and shorter.
kenner alien toys were among the first tied to rated R movies. it's interesting that a thing can be more valuable because it was a failure. did you sell a turtle van transformer? tune in next week for the exciting conclusion!
I really want that Space Ghost figure on the counter!
I remember having that Alien Figure. So mad I didn't save my toys. Also, Transformers are more complicated to transform than back in the 80s.
9:35 - Happy New Year!
I think it's a fun video that shows the guys hanging out during a lull in the day. Especially when contrasted with the busy con footage! (🤔 Similar to the opening scene of "Cars"... quiet... LOUD... quiet... LOUD!!! 😅)

great stuff. cool how you cut between transforming and the purchase.
great lighting all over 😂😂😂. keep creating your work, that’s what we are here for.
We gotta get rid of that AI tv transition in 2025
Love alien stuff. Got it all new and sealed...except for that blaster set. It's too expensive and nearly impossible to find.
I'm looking for the deeper meaning in this Lost-style editing.
I get it if it was not cost effective or was a giant pain in the 🍑 but I can’t be alone in saying I REALLY miss the podcasts!😢
Happy New Year All!!
Wait all week for a 10 min video...
That blaster target set is the best 😁
Ed u are the best also man, love ur channel.
@ thanks Tyler 🙏

The struggle was real with that Party Wallop. 🤣🤣
My favorite part of the week. Toy Federation!!
I respect the engineering behind the newer transformers, but I prefer the simplicity of G1
Happy New Year Toy Federation 🎉 Looking forward to some more great content in 2025.

What a cliffhanger. Did it sell?
"I LACK PEOPLE SKILLS' Just the shirt you want your front line employee wearing while serving customers in your retail business lol. But I get the irony?
That alien stuff. Great figures.
“So the robot turns into a bug?”
Awesome look at the Alien line. I never knew the Halloween mask existed.
Who don't you 20 to 30 min video.
Love your store love collecting toys love watching you guys with the toys keep it up never stop and I can’t wait for you guys to bring the podcast back.
Recently transformed my G1 Megatron for the first time in years. Took me a minute coz I'd completely forgotten how to do it. Held my breath with every twist and turn thinking I'd break it, lol. Narrator: he didn't.

"Worst episode ever." Still think you guys should shoot these as a day in the shop; opening it up, closing it down, and all the best shenanigans in between.
Funny seeing that Alien toy and commercial geared towards kids considering the movie is not.
The tmnt transformers crossover is my personal top 3 in all the crossovers it’s just the chunkiness of the toy that could be a pain but other than that it’s a solid toy with so many playable things todo with it. Also another great episode!
2K was a bargain for all that Alien stuff!! so awesome
I wouldn't pay $9 for that Alien toy, nevertheless $900.
Alien Halloween costume I had that not sure if it was 1979 or 80. Awesome episode.
Wow that was a task to remove from the plastic mold at the beginning Holy Toledo!
“I lack people skills” on an employees shirt, sad.
Can you make more videos of you transforming more transformers
I like the mashup video. Gonna have to get that turtle van transformer now!! 👏
Snowing in Cincinnati right now ☃️
I seen the leg break on social media
I love your videos, but I wish they were longer
Yes finaly some real Alien shit,i just love it :) more more of Alien stuff :) And Happy New Year to all of you :)
As soon as i get interested in the Aliens stuff you cut back to a man struggling to put a transformer together. If you haven't got enough content for a video, dont release one.
5:36 awkward bois moment
We need a look at your collection, I bet it's wonderful
I love that turtle van, I bought it when I first saw it at target, but I have seen them warming the toy pegs
I love the shorter videos, I didnt have the attention span for the long ones.
1:40 That’s BEEN my complaint about the modern Transformers.
Why can’t it COME AS the “vehicle mode”❓😡
Some, once in awhile do, like “Legacy Blitzwing”.
Awesome!!! 😎👍👽:)
I’m surprised that Ben Cooper Alien mask didn’t get called out back in the day. I probably don’t need to spell it out why. Another excellent Toy Federation video though.
I keep seeing the Transformer Party Wagon but can’t decide if I want it in my collection.
I agree the box art on the tmnt transformer could of been alot better!
With Transformers with 30+ steps, to prevent breaking & buying another, I'd prefer to Think Inside The Box...the instructions are inside the box.
I own that turtle transformer, and it is awesome. Sitting next to my original on card turtles.
Dude why not just read and follow the instructions on the TMNT Transformer?
That Alien(s) collection was insanely rare, but I could never justify those prices. lol
ALIEN Action Figure from Kenner
ryan you were in my neck of the woods when you were at CCS i live about 30 min from there
why are the videos cutting off so short
Thank you so much for this amazing video! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Ryan, get a pair of readers. 1.50. Trust me.
I collect MP and G1 Transformers but with the Party Wallop, my lack Party Wallops are all I need.
Love the vintage #norepos another awesome video guys
The Transformers today I break or come dame close when transforming them
The turtle mode of Party wallop is meh at its very best. However the van mode is near perfection. I will never understand why Hasbro packaged it in turtle mode. Awful decision.
I always wondered what happened to Daniel-son after he won the tournament.
Lol hey there's the spaceghost figure I got from yall
Love transformers but don't own any because of this reason. Lol
I have a thunder machine Soundwave. Mash up I got but gifting it to a buddy just Because he can transform it with out breaking it 😂😂
YO JOE
SPACE GHOST!!!!!
i have to follow a youtube video of how to transform them
I’m guessing the transformer doesn’t sell cos it’s impossible to transform……lol
Now is not the time to invest in new. Stick to Vintage. Get ahead of price dropping to move inventory. Dont spend too much ove rthe next six months. Wait and see what happens economically and plan to start buying again in September.
