Guess I'll follow the old routine and hopefully visit some flea markets in Cologne, Aachen, Landgraaf and across Belgium, which are mostly the most satisfying ones to buy model cars, amateur film equipment and movies or optical toys, old Tour de France toys and merchandise and books, lots of PEZ and nice Star Wars and other action figures 😊🇧🇪🤘.
I think it's so interesting that these hobbies that we have, that seem like a waste of time to people on the outside, actually end up teaching us so much about the world. For instance, both you and I collect vintage toys and have both been on tour with various bands. Both of those things have taught me, and shown me, so much about the world. They seem like two unrelated hobbies, but the things they teach you are very similar.
That's a nice haul with abit of variety too. The Black Lagoon Leo is probably my favourite piece. An excellent series Ed, always looked forward to a new episode 👍
I watched every episode on your channel and on NARC's channel about this trip. Its the stuff of dreams actually. Open road, toy hunting with friends. Really enjoyed it guys! 🤟
Oh wow, that's a MAJOR haul! Man, I would've been peaking on the flight home - just praying my suitcase full of toys didn't get lost in transit. Send toys to my nephews in Sweden all the time - only time I've had trouble was with a Spider-Man web shooter. Dunno if it was considered. a dangerous weapon or if it was the can of web fluid - but customs wouldn't let it through, haha....
I’ve learned so much from your channel about international versions of toy lines that were manufactured in other countries by local companies. I’m looking forward to Craig and Greco’s reactions to discovering the types of finds that you generally encounter at your toy shows and stores, can’t wait until November
Thanks for answering my question. 😁🤟🏻 Your videos are the most engaging and I love how you take footage in different angles. Love seeing all the toys together here. ❤❤
Senor love the haul!! I watched the whole journey!! # dibs I love remco as well senor! Quick question is remco also big in Belgium you are very knowledgeable!I've seen figures in your videos I've never seen thanks for the videos and knowledge
I believe there is some imported to france and germany but not really my area, it mainly due to the 5.5’s they made to get in on the motu succes and then learning from the other lines they did.
For sure a gibson player but will play fender as well. 🤣 I’m working on my 2 rigs as we speak. I might do one on here just cuz it’d be funny. Dunno if we would do a rig rundown on the Rotzak band channel. Would you really want to see that?
That's a great haul, and you all had an epic journey. The bathroom flooding on the RV would have been a site. But i can only imagine Thanks for sharing again. You guys are awesome
Ed! What a great haul, man! I loved watching the whole Ohio series. Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Ohio really is a great destination for toy collectors and I hope to visit there someday.
As a huge TMNT fan, do you have any of the original TMNT Mirage Studios comics? And do you have any TMNT memorabilia signed by Kevin Eastman or Peter Laird?
We didn’t realky get the og comics in belgium so that has been a tough one to come across. I do have a signed eastman vhs from the first movie. But the most fun part was probably meeting Eastman and getting to do a short interview with him 🤓
That Star Wars Tomart book was the thing that got me into collecting toys back in 97ish. There’s also a 3-volume set called ‘Tomarts price guide to action figure collectibles’ that covers a ton of 70’s-80’s toys. Really worth getting. Surprised they dont have a youtube channel 🤔
I actually had a Siobolus madball when I was a kid. Forgot the name of it until I seen those stickers you picked up. Thanks for sharing all the hunts & hauls of your Ohio trip. Glad it went well & you had fun. :)
What I love is that they're so dedicated to the fan base and now they even got Kevin Eastman in on this thing. He's autographing some of the cards that you can pre-order now that are of these steel so we can get a Kevin Eastman card if you want it to
I guess a lot of collectors ask abt how airport security handles hand-carrying toys coz some toys and their accessories may hav sharp points, which may not be allowed, plus some big toys may be used as storing "contraband"
Hi Ed! It's always my Pleasure, watching your Toy Hunting Adventures, on your Channel! Congrats!? You'd Hit the Jackpot Big Time! Love your Entire Haul, my Friend! 😎😎😎👍👍
Awesome to see your haul, that Creature Leo is sweeeeet!! I'm glad you got that green lizard guy that I sent over to Craig to give to you, hope he's a fun addition to your weird bootleg/ko figures. I went to Paris and Amsterdam a few years ago, but unfortunately I didn't really have any time for toy hunting, hoping to travel to the UK someday and that will definitely be on the top of my to-do list for sure
Amazing haul!! Tomato, Warrior Beast and Remco monsters were sick! I got a Gosalyn in Ohio too but she had to have her accessory glue dotted to her hand. 😂 Can’t wait for Attic boys to hop around Europe. Thanks man.
When you come to the UK you should visit Cosmic Toys in Dewsbury, amazing selection. Will you be sending out a schedule of visits so that people can come and meet you?
The prices in Tomart's are 'a bit' out of date 😜But it's still an amazing guide. I picked it up when it was released and it has always been one of my favourite merchandising books.
What is your advice for spouses and family members that might be dismissive and critical of the toy collecting hobby? Of family members putting down the hobby? I had a chat with my mom recently and she questions why I still buy toys even though i'm an adult. My dad questions it too but he was surprised when a man he met that is his age (60's) collects toys. And in my dating life I have had ex girlfriends who look down on the toy collecting hobby.
Just do what you love to do and adult collectors are becoming the biggest share in the action figure buying market so your not alone. Your dad’s favorite rockstar or sports dude probably collects as well
😮 I’m sorry I theorised the winnebago would be a bit whiffy after 10 days! I was totally projecting as I myself am a particularly gross-smelling dude. I didn’t mean to tar you guys with the same brush! 😂
Great pickups but even better shirt! Looking forward to next year already! Less Boston Mike though...he's definitely the heel of the trip with all his dibs.
I actually could tell that you weren’t yourself in some of the videos, if not all…. I could tell something wasn’t right…. I’m sorry to hear that you were going through something and hate to bring it back up…. Hope all is getting better ? Keep your head up brother !!
Can't wait for the documentary to come out definitely want to see those challenges and who won the pirizes. Nice pickups, that top toys mer-man is cool very cool of Narc to gift that to you thats my favorite motu character along with scare-glow. Definitely want to see what you got him. Also, love the pop-ins from Greco and Narc, definitely feel narc pain on the editing video parts because if i had to guess with all y'all together there was a lot that can't make TH-cam but hopefully make in the documentary, special features never hurt.
Where are you heading this summer? & will you buy toys there? 🤔
I have two collectors activities in july I can't wait for those day's to go hunting
We have a toy and die cast convention here in South Africa in July. Cant wait for that to come.
Guess I'll follow the old routine and hopefully visit some flea markets in Cologne, Aachen, Landgraaf and across Belgium, which are mostly the most satisfying ones to buy model cars, amateur film equipment and movies or optical toys, old Tour de France toys and merchandise and books, lots of PEZ and nice Star Wars and other action figures 😊🇧🇪🤘.
The episode with Froggy Flips was a real banger of a video! It's like watching a crossover or two of my favorite toy youtubers!
That was such a fun day 😁 it was for sure a great opportunity to get to hang with him

An excellent series Ed, always looked forward to a new episode 👍
I agree the black lagoon leo is splendid 😁
I love kislux that on the butterfly bag it says auguri / tanti auguri which means happy birthday
Thanks for watching
I watched every episode on your channel and on NARC's channel about this trip. Its the stuff of dreams actually. Open road, toy hunting with friends. Really enjoyed it guys! 🤟
Can’t wait to do it again 🙏
What a great variety of stuff. I like the killer tomatoes stuff. The Tiger Shark is awesome and the Toxic Cursader Box item. Awesome buddy.
Thanks buddy 🙌
Oh wow, that's a MAJOR haul!
Man, I would've been peaking on the flight home - just praying my suitcase full of toys didn't get lost in transit.
Send toys to my nephews in Sweden all the time - only time I've had trouble was with a Spider-Man web shooter.
Dunno if it was considered. a dangerous weapon or if it was the can of web fluid - but customs wouldn't let it through, haha....
Probably just cuz it has a fluid 🤷🏻
My Calibos from Clash of the titans is missing its tail too! 😂
Well i guess im looking for a calibos tail now 🤣
I’ve learned so much from your channel about international versions of toy lines that were manufactured in other countries by local companies. I’m looking forward to Craig and Greco’s reactions to discovering the types of finds that you generally encounter at your toy shows and stores, can’t wait until November
Its gonna be good to see what they go crazy over for here 😁
Thanks for answering my question. 😁🤟🏻 Your videos are the most engaging and I love how you take footage in different angles. Love seeing all the toys together here. ❤❤
you gotta start a museum at some point. lol ....charge admission then use the money to buy more toys.
That could work 😏
Senor love the haul!! I watched the whole journey!! # dibs I love remco as well senor! Quick question is remco also big in Belgium you are very knowledgeable!I've seen figures in your videos I've never seen thanks for the videos and knowledge
I believe there is some imported to france and germany but not really my area, it mainly due to the 5.5’s they made to get in on the motu succes and then learning from the other lines they did.
what a great set of videos! to discover your a les paul man puts you up even more! ow the question is; guitar rig video? Ed retro rig rundown!
For sure a gibson player but will play fender as well. 🤣 I’m working on my 2 rigs as we speak. I might do one on here just cuz it’d be funny. Dunno if we would do a rig rundown on the Rotzak band channel. Would you really want to see that?
ED do yu have any jim lee turtles ? I never seen any in your collection
I do, they’re in this video 😅
Cant wait to see your USA sidekick Greco meet your Europe sidekick, Matty!
It’s gonna be wild to see them cross the streams 🧙🏻♂️
That's a great haul, and you all had an epic journey. The bathroom flooding on the RV would have been a site. But i can only imagine Thanks for sharing again. You guys are awesome
Thanks buddy 😝 next time ill film all of the mayhem!
Ed! What a great haul, man! I loved watching the whole Ohio series. Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Ohio really is a great destination for toy collectors and I hope to visit there someday.

Love that Warrior Beast and Advanced D&D
😎 80s lines at their best!
Nice Shai Hulud shirt, Ed! SH and Poison the Well are two of Florida's best!
Ive been really into Strongarm lately as well 🤓
@EdsRetroGeekOut Hell yeah! I went to their final gig. Further seems forever was pretty good at first! Imo
Thank you for answering my question about the food! 24:02 , I love the videos keep going
Loved the entire thing! Really nice watch
Thank you Roy 🤓
I actually had a Siobolus madball when I was a kid. Forgot the name of it until I seen those stickers you picked up. Thanks for sharing all the hunts & hauls of your Ohio trip. Glad it went well & you had fun. :)
3:39 ah yes Xenia Ohio, the illustrious town that iconic movie Gummo was filmed in.
Wild. Second Gummo reference I've come across in two days 😂
A place with a lotta history
So cool that I think I saw a sledgehog from treasure monster toys in there
Yes 😁 really impressed by the quality on those 🤘
What I love is that they're so dedicated to the fan base and now they even got Kevin Eastman in on this thing. He's autographing some of the cards that you can pre-order now that are of these steel so we can get a Kevin Eastman card if you want it to
Just had JoeFest here in my hometown and was stoked to put everything I’ve learned from the Attic Invaders to use and got some cool pickups.
Sweet dude what did you pick up? 🤓
Love this episode and the Shai hulud shirt as well - one of the greatest metalcore bands of all time!
Back when it was metallic hardcore 🖤
It was cool to see everything all together you got a ton of awesome stuff!
Your Barnyard Commando figure is my favourite pick up. I got pretty stoke you found one. 😁🥰
I guess a lot of collectors ask abt how airport security handles hand-carrying toys coz some toys and their accessories may hav sharp points, which may not be allowed, plus some big toys may be used as storing "contraband"
Hi Ed! It's always my Pleasure, watching your Toy Hunting Adventures, on your Channel! Congrats!? You'd Hit the Jackpot Big Time! Love your Entire Haul, my Friend! 😎😎😎👍👍

Amazing haul!! Tomato, Warrior Beast and Remco monsters were sick! I got a Gosalyn in Ohio too but she had to have her accessory glue dotted to her hand. 😂 Can’t wait for Attic boys to hop around Europe. Thanks man.

Froggy is turning out to be the nicest man in collectibles.
He is 🙌

Some excellent stuff you got.
Excellent video.
Hello from the West Coast of Canada.

They all look pretty epic, been looking for them for a long time. 🤓
I have villains tigershark ( T-Ray) I like tourttle Jim Lee!!!
Awesome
28:40 Oh NARC, don't sell yourself short. You are so a historian.
Yet the history of geography continues to elude him
Great Impressions

They probably have hobbies and interests you don't understand either -- maybe when they talk about it, find something relatable about collecting?
Ive been playing in bands the past 15 years so the toy thing is the least of her concern 🤣
Just do what you love to do and adult collectors are becoming the biggest share in the action figure buying market so your not alone. Your dad’s favorite rockstar or sports dude probably collects as well
Dope shirt.
Thanks 🙌
cool
Thanks for watching 🤓
You’re bringing them to the UK in November?? 😂
You have warned them about the weather I hope?
😏 i hope they don’t bring any mogwai
Eddie goes Japan 🇯🇵 would be so awesome! 🤟
49 more states to do....turtle power!

Doing pretty ok now that I have coffeee
😮 I’m sorry I theorised the winnebago would be a bit whiffy after 10 days! I was totally projecting as I myself am a particularly gross-smelling dude. I didn’t mean to tar you guys with the same brush! 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Great pickups but even better shirt! Looking forward to next year already! Less Boston Mike though...he's definitely the heel of the trip with all his dibs.
🎉
Thanks for watching?
My mom (and my GF) will kill me if I buy these lot.... LMAO....

What a haul indeed I'm still not a fan of the newer turt figures 😅
Thanks buddy 🤘

Greco filmed? Why? lol
We’ve given up on why he does film 🤣
🤘🏼
Thanks for watching
I actually could tell that you weren’t yourself in some of the videos, if not all…. I could tell something wasn’t right…. I’m sorry to hear that you were going through something and hate to bring it back up…. Hope all is getting better ? Keep your head up brother !!
