    Born in '75 and had a huge Star Wars collection as a kid in addition to a lot of the other toys featured here, all of which I gave away as a younger adult. Not counting ex-wives, I don't collect anything these days but love watching these videos as they really take me back to simpler times. They also remind me how lucky I was.
    Keep up the good work!!

    How far back do these toys go; 1950s? 60s? The shop looks amazing, although I am unfamiliar with most of the things shown on camera here. Anything Marvel is outside of my knowledge base. I wouldn't know a Clark Kent from a Spiderman. Star Wars toys were not a thing when I was a child. Sure, there were rumours of such toys, but we never saw any. Anything animated from the 1980s onward was not made for me. Even so, I could spend a whole day in a shop like this. I must go back to the place where I grew up and visit this shop in Pompey. Excellent stuff. Cheers.

It would be filled with original Star Wars stuff, Japanese Transformers, original Japanese Kinnikuman and Dr. Slump and similar stuff, along with all the toys we wanted for Christmas in the 70s and early 80s. Lots of Hot Wheels/Matchbox, robots, games, all the good stuff! I just wish we had money when I was a kid so I could have had all the Star Wars figures. At least I had Boba Fett and a Darth Vader watch…
