Great choices! I'm 51, so a lot of those really do pull at the old nostalgia heartstrings. My Top 5: 1. Super Powers Collection (Kenner, 1984-1986) 2. G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (Hasbro, 1982-1994) 3. Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (LJN, 1983-1984) 4. Star Wars (Kenner, 1978-1985) 5. World's Greatest Super Heroes! (Mego, 1972-1983) Cheers!
Adventure people is an interesting choice. Adventure people kind of got overshadowed by Star Wars in my childhood but I still enjoyed it a lot. One thing about it is there was no bad guys or evil in that world just adventure! Thanks for the video!
Was having TSOT withdrawal after being spoiled with three weeks consecutive Series 3 episodes. Realised I'd somehow missed this video! Great Sunday comfort viewing! I was surprised that Joe's list did not include any die-cast Citroens! Bet it would look a bit different following recent acquisitions - Tomland Starroid Raiders, Colorforms Outerspace Men ... And whither Tin Tin?
I was a kid in the 70's and became a youth in the 80's, I'm not a toy collector but its grest being reminded of those times and the toys I had and some I even struggle to remember and are always displayed by 2 likeable blokes in this great shop. 👍
Loved this!!! What a great video 👍No Action Man?? Don't know if I remember those Pocketeers or not, sort of have a vague memory of the Grand Prix one ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great video there well my top 5 are those 1. Transformers (How could it be other right lol) 2. Choro Q 3. Future GPX Cyber Formula 4. Hotwheels Acceleracers (In my eyes the real golden age of Hotwheels) 5. Attackpak (Just wave 1 and 2 I really liked)
Wow! I never expected that, ''Fisher Price Adventure People'' on no.1! I still got a lot of figures and vehicles (including an ambulance and a chopper) since the early 1980s in my collection...
I think my number one would be TMNT for sure as i'm an 80's kid. I also loved Alf as a kid, I have pictures of me in kindergarten wearing a sleeveless alf for preseident shirt and i forget the other but it was alf also. One easter i opened a little plastic egg at an easter egg hunt and i found a small rubber alf and it was one of my fav little toys.
I had totally forgot that I used to have the Space Invaders Pocketeers game, I also had one you didn't have there, I think it was called The Monkey Puzzle? I'm personally a Star Wars Collector and have been since 78 and don't see any reason to stop. Great Video with brilliant content and brought to me my two awesome dudes that aren't PC!
Well done lads, you're both in good spirits and thats great to see. Also good choice on the toys. Picked up a few of those Omnibots over the years....Wow that shop display, vey hard to find another..
Such amazing picks. Being slightly younger my top 5 is a bit different, but would be 1: Thundercats 2: Real Ghostbusters 3: Star Trek (90s Playmates) 4: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 5: TNMT
Epic vid, must admit I had never heard of adventure people, and I thought zodiac toys was only in Coventry never knew they had more stores, top 5 for me 5. He man 4. Star Wars 3. Zoids 2 action force (GI Joe) 1 transformers
Your still youngsters,what about action men,timpo and britains toy soldiers, airfix kits,corgi chipperfields,dinky army stuff ,the Johnny seven gun,which I would still kill for,but love your passion for the toys,just glad iv still got most of mine .
Well done gentlemen on another great review. I’m very surprised at Joes no 1 and very glad. FB Adventure figures really deserve their spot in the best action figure hall of fame. I still remember getting them when I was 4 and my emergency ambulance and motor cross off road Bike and side car duo and my rubber duck and scuba diving couple where the heroes of all my adventures. Of course vintage SW is right up there as my favourites as well. 😉
i spy my omnibot , i have 2000 , and hearoid version of omnibot which can be seen on fireflies music video ,i love all the tomy robots , tandy / radio shack did there own versions with tomy so omni junior would be robie junior , i have kitbot the cat which is a girls version of the tumbling cat ive just found this channel and i love it have talking alf too , forgotten competition was playtime robots i loved them ,,, have you guys come across a doctor snuggles wind up jumping dr snuggles at all
I took 7 bin bags of boxed STARWARS collectables and other merchandise when these two gentlemen were away on a UK tour. I left it all with two another individuals who then appraised it and then offered me a measly £100 for the lot via a text message a few days later ?,you live and learn but either way on reflection I was ripped off.
In the condition they were in we wouldn’t have normally bought them to be honest. The two lads who did buy them didn’t do anything wrong. Your collectibles were chess sets Etc it’s all sat in our basement awaiting being taken to auction as we wouldn’t be able to sell them in the shop. Please feel free to come and pick them up and return the £100 to us if you are unhappy. We don’t want anyone to feel that way.
Memories! Great video boys! 🇺🇸

all I see behind Omnibot's eyes is disdain for humanity. and she's right for that
3:51 what a morbid line to include in an advert for a kids' toy...
