Yes, in our country it is labeled as Voltron 84. 18 inches. Complete set is 157 US Dollars. Voltron Fantasy Jewel 12” 88 US Dollars and The Voltron Gx21 10 3/5 inches costs 389 US Dollar
Love this channel. No phoniness. No fake laughter. No put-on-folksy nonsense. Just people talking how people in business talk. Polite, but to the point. Such a breath of fresh air.
One idea. You can have a fixed station in the store with a nice backdrop, lighting, mic and a phone on a stand where people can show off what they have bought and maby tell a short story on why they bought it. Some short clips you can post on SOME. Keep trucking guys. Love this stuff :)
Heh, that Mythic Legions Headless Horseman in the background, is that the same one from ToyLanta you had in the booth? To answer your question: I think folks do still collect Voltron, at least updated modern versions, I just don’t know how sought after vintage is. I know there’s the infamous one of Go Lion/Voltron that had to be pulled from shelves ( I don’t remember what markets or how widespread) that had lead paint in the sets. I remember reading or watching something about it. The only I would say to watch out for with the Lion set is the hip ratchets where there’s a spring under tension by a screw. The plastic socket had a tendency to split loosing all tension. It did on mine as kid to where my folks took me back to the store to ask for a replacement one. I get the replacement and eventually it did the same thing. My dad tried to fix it but it was fragile plastic. At least my folks were trying to teach me something at an early age not settling for a defective product.😂
One of my favorite episodes so far, it was all over the place, but I have to believe there are days like that in the store. This keeps it real, love it!
Dang are these videos addicting brother, especially the way they are filmed like a Netflix series🔥 love the store and hustle you guys put in, hope to one day visit your store!
very busy shop today keep the videos coming.. great watching to see what people are buying and trading in...them Stargate figures and ships over here in the uk a few years ago boxed i think i got £20 for them both they where flooded over here in bargain toy shops lol
Ha. It hasn't happened but we wouldn't allow that to happen either. Last week or the week before I didn't buy something and Travis did. Does that count?
@@toyfederation I would say almost. I remember Travis making the deal after you passed it up. That's what's rad about the Federation, you've all got your unique tastes and the patrons benefit from it. I would only buy Transformers, Robotech/Macross, Halo and TMNT!
sigh...Devastator....the one set I always wanted since seeing the Constructicon set walking through Sears as a kid. I have still never forgiven my parents lol. Thanks for the content and memories!
@@toyfederation Thank You! I still joke with them about this today. They went back to Sears that Christmas and they were sold out. Ah well I got Omega Supreme later lol,
Love when Ryan starts on a big new box of items that a customer brings in for trade or sale and on top are item's that are new to him. You can tell he gets as excited as an 8 year old at X-mas.
Thanks for an incredible episode. You really spoiled us with a ton of nostalgia feels in this one. Also, as someone who had a parent give away all his childhood MOTU figures when I went to college and looking to reassemble for a fun project - this puts into perspective how rare the carded ones are and instead my focus should be complete "loose" figures. Thanks.
My gosh, Transformers, Voltron, customers trading. I so enjoy watching this episode. I wonder how you guys going to tackle the future He-Man toy lines,, the reissue is not selling in Asia.
Ryan! You’re a monolith over there man! Dang toy bank tycoon! I havnt started to buy any of the toys of my childhood, mainly just video games at the moment, but I know if I walked in your place, would not be leaving empty handed.
I have the set of 6 figures (i think about 5 or 6 inch)(mint) Mego Star trec and ship's main control station case (average condition) . About 15 years ago looked up crew figures and were about $50.- each. All had cloth/velvet clothing and plastic figures. In todays market what should i expect......on low end? Thanks.
Great seeing those Stargate Figs , I've collected all Sg1 Figs from diamond select exept one or two of the special figs and got a few multiple times to set up the different versions of the Sg1 one Team . I wish they had made more of em but the detail is just great.
Please can I ask a question? Where can I get those acrylic cases you display your carded figures in? I have some sealed vintage Heroquest sets that I would like to protect in acrylic cases like those.
I liked seeing the Stargate stuff. My brother and I had some of those figures. Horus and Anubis, they were very cool. Didn't have any vehicles or anything. I loved the movie but could not get into the TV show. Oh, and you can't go wrong with Devastator!
Most of these ‘toys’ never get played with since taking them out of the package dramatically drops their value. It’s mostly speculative buying with the hope of selling it to someone else for more than you originally paid. Just insane to me. Mostly not kids enjoying a toy but grown men ‘collecting’. So MUCH plastic crap! Aren’t we living with enough plastic already?! End of rant
My heart breaks for that poor girl looked so disappointed about monster high dolls... as a girl dad i bet he was super excited take his baby get her some. It hurt my heart...
you have a very special channel here. i enjoy these videos so much. that green cheap helicopter you pulled out of that lot i had as a kid. i put joes in it and played with it to hell and back. do you have that sky striker deal on video?
That snake eyes movie baroness goes for like $10 ….probably less lol them snake eyes movie classified figs are in every clearance bin across America right now …….I got one just for the body and put a different head on it but I think I paid $9 for it and that’s the only reason I bought it
Why Would Anyone Want a Playmates Voltron Or Trend Masters When You Have Matchbox Voltron 1 & 2.. I Still Have My Original Voltron 1 in Box i Bought Back in The 80's..I've Spent Several Yrs Gathering Part's To Form 2 More ,Also Panosh Voltron Was Sweet To Collect..im Still Missing Helmets 😢
@@Matt_Wilson01 The value of an item is just that, the value someone puts into it. My value of Voltron was $75, that's what I was willing to pay on clearance, since obviously nobody else valued it at full price since they went clearance at GameStop too. Someone on eBay has put green crumbley bits says it's a screen used Slimer, and is asking $5,000 for it. I am not willing to pay $5,000 for green crumbley bits, but maybe that's what it's worth to someone else.
You hit the nail on the head. If masterpiece transformers taught us anything, its that the collectors that grew up in teh 80's are willing to pay for the 80's. I love that masterpiece finally transform like the cartoon made them look, but ALSo the missing link Optimus prime is a great call back. its how the toy should have transformed ( though they saved money by repurposing the diaclones line). Classified has legs, but in the waves, they need to make sure they give us some real american hero with the proper articulations. Its a license to print money. Stop it with the scarcity hasbro. Your leaving money on the table.
Thing with tmnt and x men they reused old figures later on in new packages. In smaller stores that never sold those types of toys like dollar general and big lots. Original figures just diffrent packefes off they went off the shelves at places like wal mart k mart etc.
If you notice a lot of our trades are happening on top of our comics section. It’s very small. We don’t really do comic trades. We have several amazing comic shops in town and we push that business to them.
I guess as far as Classified goes, I always can't figure this out. Why do you want an exact replica in a six inch version of what you already have a 3.75" version of? What's the point? Yes, the movie figures aren't great, but ignoring that there was nothing wrong with any of the first couple waves of Classified. If the most damning criticism is it isn't ARAH enough then... oh well? To me, especially Snake Eyes where he has a billion variants (Hi Desert SE coming soon!) already, like... who cares if it isn't exact? And then you run into issues like Baroness and Lady Jaye where when you slavishly appease people who do want exact 1:1 of ARAH, it sits on the shelf and warms hard. To me figures like the Arctic BAT are perfect, because it's a different variant of something we're familiar with. IMO A BAT is the best Classified figure so far.
I remember I used to have a Gobots rock lords, brown plain rock that essentially looks like a turd, I think I got it on clearance sale at Woolworth or best ,
@toyfederation ... i never gave that option much thought! But yes, on multiple devices, I've tried to adjust the volume. The audio is noticeably lower than other comparative videos on TH-cam.
Is Voltron still popular with collectors?
Definitely ! Love the lion and vehicle Voltron!
The Voltron 84 is popular. The Netflix and Vehicles… not that much.
Love Voltron. Voltron 1 is my favorite need one loose.

I'm a toy dealer in the uk lockdown killed my shop...
So good to see you guys good and strong I envy the US toy market your shop is amazing
I know I have already said it, but you guys are on your way to having the best vintage toy channel on TH-cam. Content is so so good.

Holy moly! I wouldn't be surprised if in a few episodes we see a three way trade where two traders want each other's items. Has it already happened?

@15:29 that mafia moment. what to do with voltron! lol
idk why but the main guy is so charismatic and likeable.
Super intelligent and has an amazing memory as well.

Oh god I'd forgotten about inspector gadget... He's kind of a kids version of Robocop 😅

Every time I see just a glimpse of the carded Joe's on the wall I get excited. Like, ooh, that's Crazy Legs!!
Yea!
Love the show. Love the shop. I’ve never been there. If i have i would need a second mortgage to buy everything. Wish they were closer to NJ!
They also put on a toy convention every year in SC called Retro-Toy Con. Crazy amount of toys and vendors from all over.
Come on down
Do you guys have an Ebay store?
Love the channel, y'all. Your approach to selling/collecting toys is down to Earth, savvy and thorough. Wish I could come shop. Hope business is good.
Why can’t you come!?
@@toyfederation Haha, the store is a bit far from where I'm at. Let's just say that. 😹
Too bad
Glad i found and subscribed to this channel..thanks guys great shop!!
Toy Federation is the new Toy R Us. 😂
Should we rent out the old Toys-R-Us building in our town?
@@toyfederation Please
On that Voltron, there was a gift set that had all of them included. I saw it at TRU.
Sure you have but have you use magic eraser on the cape bleeding?
I have the set of 6 figures (i think about 5 or 6 inch)(mint) Mego Star trec and ship's main control station case (average condition) . About 15 years ago looked up crew figures and were about $50.- each. All had cloth/velvet clothing and plastic figures. In todays market what should i expect......on low end? Thanks.
I could literally work in your store everyday and never get tired of it, so much nostalgia, great content!!
You and me both!
Always dealing in the stuff I collect and love. Devistator was one of the first transformers I had to have when I started collecting
Great seeing those Stargate Figs , I've collected all Sg1 Figs from diamond select exept one or two of the special figs and got a few multiple times to set up the different versions of the Sg1 one Team . I wish they had made more of em but the detail is just great.
I grew up watc Voltron in the 80’a never got anything from the line. Today I live vicariously through watching this channel.
Please can I ask a question? Where can I get those acrylic cases you display your carded figures in? I have some sealed vintage Heroquest sets that I would like to protect in acrylic cases like those.
There are several companies that make them. Just google cased for carded action figures. Or ebay. They usually run about $5 a case.
Your channel it got me toy collecting now. Love your content brother keep em coming!!!
Does anyone remember the Voltron recall in 1986? My mom took mine away to send it back to the factory. It had lead paint on it.
Yes. Yes. And Yes! Keep it up gang. I love this channel!
I felt bad for the guy who missed out on the Monster High stuff with his daughter, but it's all part of the game
I just found this channel, I love what your doing.
Glad you’re here!
Channels growing, leaps, and bounds
We really appreciate and like your videos. I would love to see more.
Great video, so cool to see the Gobot the guy bought man, reliving my childhood. Thanks guys for the awesome videos, keep them coming
When I click and see a 25 minute Toy Federation 🍿
What a beautiful shop
Apart from the beanie babies, I mean funko pops
Best comment/comparison ever!
Lots of action in this video!!!
Wow my kid has a bag of moster high stuff is the spare room....hmmm
That dude in the mustard shirt name should be interruptus Maximus… Jesus take a breath big guy lol
I liked seeing the Stargate stuff. My brother and I had some of those figures. Horus and Anubis, they were very cool. Didn't have any vehicles or anything.
I loved the movie but could not get into the TV show.
Oh, and you can't go wrong with Devastator!
All Funko Pops will eventually make their way to the ocean and kill and poison us all.
Im scared how much plastic is used on funkos

Hey! I think I saw yall at SEGE and JoeFest. I was a vendor at both. I didnt realize yall had a TH-cam channel till now. Really enjoy the content!

Great idea!!

Great war room negotiations
Please! What was that cool winged dragon figure on comics behind the voltron figures?? the one with the orange claw! I'm fascinated by it! @10:46
That snake eyes movie baroness goes for like $10 ….probably less lol them snake eyes movie classified figs are in every clearance bin across America right now …….I got one just for the body and put a different head on it but I think I paid $9 for it and that’s the only reason I bought it
Oof. Yea.
Another great episode!
Thanks! Favorite part?
I was in 7th grade when Captain Power came out and I remember how awesome the commercials made the toys look.
Yep but the toy itself…
I wish y’all would get an online store
Loving the uploads 🎉
Thanks!

Feel like your staff would be crazy good at jenga
$200 for a loose playmates Voltron. I got all my lions for like $75 when they went clearance.

Saturday is here !!!!
Ha! Your comments are like clockwork! Love it!
Good morning
‘’It’s weird’….. u know’ that should be on a tee
Voltron 2 was shown in the U.S. but it was in Spanish on Telemundo Saturday mornings
You should have a table off in a corner so folks can place all their tradable goods. Probably dont have enough room but you can make some.
boost the vid, very cool
Dont let people set toys right on top of the comics…I mean come on people.
That always makes me cringe a bit, like why would you assume that's an agreeable table top?
Yeah. Absolutely ridiculous. And the last toy is this big heavy transformer lol. Such a moron.
Yeah
Man did that young lady look deflated about missing out on Monster Higb stuff
Love your videos. Reminds me of Pawn Stars. Great editing and very entertaining.
Every. Week . Love it boys!❤
Just curious never see any comic book trades or comic book buys, do you take those in or sell some??

Id love to see the guys secret stash cuz dayummm
Ever buy or sell robotek? Only thing I ever saved in the package.

I would save all the carded he man until you have quite a few then sell them as a bundle whoooo 😁🇬🇧😎✌️
I guess as far as Classified goes, I always can't figure this out. Why do you want an exact replica in a six inch version of what you already have a 3.75" version of? What's the point? Yes, the movie figures aren't great, but ignoring that there was nothing wrong with any of the first couple waves of Classified. If the most damning criticism is it isn't ARAH enough then... oh well? To me, especially Snake Eyes where he has a billion variants (Hi Desert SE coming soon!) already, like... who cares if it isn't exact? And then you run into issues like Baroness and Lady Jaye where when you slavishly appease people who do want exact 1:1 of ARAH, it sits on the shelf and warms hard.
To me figures like the Arctic BAT are perfect, because it's a different variant of something we're familiar with. IMO A BAT is the best Classified figure so far.
Unpopular opinion
I remember I used to have a Gobots rock lords, brown plain rock that essentially looks like a turd, I think I got it on clearance sale at Woolworth or best ,
What did the guy ask for that sold out? I couldn’t make it out. Was it Monster High?
Monster High
Yes.

It is?
