You got monogram universal monster illuminator models for only $15 a box? I've never seen those less than $40 to $50. Usually the box itself sells for around $10 to $15
I'm currently trying to buy a Bandai Tick collection also, don't kick yourself because depending some of those figures only go for $6 even in pristine carded condition
I have that same Montgomery Ward wishbook, but - get this - in hardcover, meaning it was the in-store one they displayed at the layaway counter. Great hauls!
I too remember the Christmas catalogs they were amazing and yes you circled all the things you wanted. In your business they are considered primary research!
I used to do the same thing in the 90's but with the toys r us and target catalogs during christmas, man those were the days. Thanks for bringing that memory back for me lol
I loved all those catalogs. We used to look through the Toys R Us, Service Merchandise, Sears catalogs. We used to hide the Fingerhut catalogs so we didn't get anything from there lol.
The dig bin stuff was fun - that Lock is cool! And I'm glad you showed the footage of you flipping through the catalogues - like you experienced, that was a wonderful dose of nostalgia. Seeing you pass up that Tick lot did hurt, as not only was it a great deal, but I also just love that show and those toys in general! That looked like a great show and it made for a great video!
That big Lion with the articulated mouth was from the old 12" GIJoe line - their Action Team group, it was a Safari set - my older brothers used to have a bunch of those big Joes - they thought the little 3-3/4" Joes I had were blasphemy compared to their giant "doll" version ;-)
I have the Super7 ReActions Universal Monsters Luminators. I had no idea they were based on a vintage model kit. Love the size of the box of the vintage versions.
Nothing brings the kid out in me like Christmas time. I love going into stores and just walk through the toy aisles wondering what I'm going to ask Santa for this year. Thank you for another awesome video.
Just completed all the issues of classic Rom spaceknight, still have a few other appearances of his to find. I know I could just order them but I prefer to find them in the wild. I'll never replace my childhood collection but I'm slowing picking some of my favorites and getting full runs. Invaders bronze age is not easy to find in the wild. Lost 17 long boxes from my childhood to a fire a few years ago.
Those Christmas catalogs were always the best! I've picked up 83, 84 and 85 over the years. Montgomery Ward had the best layout at least I think so, they more or less put all the Merch in one place per franchise. Love me some vintage Christmas and Halloween Decor as well!
Oh man... hearing you walk away from the bin of Tick figures just killed me! I have a carded Tick and Arthur from '94, and I'm pretty sure I paid around $50 for each of them in 2007. I would have been hyperventilating with excitement if I had seen that bin.
Definitely should have picked up those The Tick MOC figures but amazing haul and video nonetheless! I saw a lot of gems I would have brought home as always! Thanks for the great content!
The catalogs are always rad, but for me the historical aspect of seeing preproduction/prototype shots of items is just immeasurably cool and rare to see. The dig bins are what I call the last chance option for scoring some weapons/accessories that may have been overlooked or dropped. Fantastic video man! :)
I love the catalogs!! I wish they did more things like that still. The Amazon catalog showed up, but it doesn't have the same punch to it. There really was something to be said, looking through at toys, but also pajamas, furniture, the little bed tents... it was so cool. We just don't get em like that anymore.
Oh man, I would've immediately bought those Tick figures lot @ a $100! Also, those baggies of Voltron figures, and that peach cheeks Skeletor, depending on how much he was asking.
Those wish books were the best. I remember when the KB toys one and the Sears one would show up. I'd just sit there with a piece of paper, writing down page numbers and toy numbers for my xmas wish list. So many MASK figures marked down. I think one time I marked down a pool table lol. Technically that was our Google in the 80s lol. Thanks for sharing another great video
What? 20 bucks on the gold foil 30th Amazing Spidey? I have that! I didn't think it was worth that much. I'm yelling get that MOTU poster ha ha. I miss the Sears Wish Catalogs. I always wanted the GI Joe camping set as a kid because of the APC. That Voltron baggie has great stuff in it. I have that MOTU case and most of those figures in the case right now. I know what to sort of price them at ha ha. Those board games were great. Phantom Flyer is really cool.
19:43 Hey that green thing is none other then Nerf Man! 26:21 Oh I did that in 2014 at a show. A guy had a M.A.S.K Rhino, Switchblade and Matt Tracker's car loose with all their packages but none of the figures for $60. I was like "I dOn'T nEeD tHoSe if tHeRes nO figUres 🤪🤪" never once thinking that I could A] Buy the figures later off of eBay or B] Use them as trade fodder elsewhere. Life is like an RPG & sometimes we roll a 1 on our Intelligence checks. 🤷♂️
$100 for the whole bin was a super steal. You win some and lose some. But, you live to toy hunt another day. Man, i would love to get my hands on vintage Beetlejuice line i love Beetlejuice
I would have definitely picked up the Voltron figs We had quite a lot of it in hindsight. I suppose you already have all of it. I think it's a great line. Noice Vid mate 🤘👍
It drives me crazy when there is a bin without an empty nested underneath it, so you can transfer it from one bin to the other, then nest the empty bin when you are done going through it.
I think its easy to miss out on obvious opportunities like that stack of Tick figures at shows. There is a lot of anxiety between managing your funds so they will last the duration of the hunt, and the potential of finding something better at the next table. So no reason to be hard on yourself, in the moment you likely made the best survival decision.
Yep!! You definitely missed out on The ticks figures. I would have at least negotiated and gotten the ones I really wanted at least but $5 for each figure is not bad, it's a great deal. I wish I could have been there.
Its amazing how so many of the cases / bags in the 80's were made from that shiny vinyl material with rivet finished corners, you just dont see that these days.
I had a complete Tick collection. All the figures and playsets. I traded a bunch of old starwars figures for em. I even told the creator (Ben Edlund) about it when i met him at comic con. They all yellowed really bad though. Just having them in a drawer for so many years messed them up. I kept a few, like Man Eating Cow and the Minis. I wish i didnt throw em out now, lol. It was really bad, like Sewer Urchin was light purple and mine turned dark brown, litterally looked like he was burnt
Here in Portland, OR, there's an artist that takes those "creepy Santa" blowmolds like you were looking at and does an art project every year with like 400 of them. He posts a pic on his Instagram and gives hints at where it's set up and asks that people keep it a secret.
I loved The Tick series as a kid but never got the toys. I would've picked those up in a heartbeat, lol. It's okay; we all had toy non-pickup mistakes.
The wife and I are both very vocally upset about you passing on the bin of Tick figures....and the Rudolph set 😅 I think you might get over it faster than we will haha
That's cool that you saw the illuminators. I was at the Pittsburgh video game convention this year and I found the phantom of the Opera for 15 bucks and I'm like these go for like 75 bucks I think on eBay or more well they used to. Id like to get some more
As someone who is trying to collect the set of The Tick action figures carded and loose, watching you pass over that bargain made me feel ill. I'm in Australia and am lucky to come across a carded figure every 6 months and they're never as minty as that.
I have that American Maid action figure, on card. It's the one toy from my childhood I've kept. I remember asking my dad for it for Christmas and his confusion over the name lol. "Ok you want an American made action figure but wich one?"
I found a complete snake eyes v1 in a dig bin for $34, but they were 50% off.....and he gave it to me for $15. And he looked brand new.....was so happy that day.
I'm more shocked you didn't seem to notice the Kenner mail-away Star Wars figure display stand from 1978 at 27:04 in the video! Loose these stands can go for upwards of $300 today.
Love how your collecting physical media Dan definitely a trending topic here on UA-cam now a days, especially since the AI overlord is trying to take over the system, pretty scary times we’re living in
I'm gonna have to look it up, but what kind of board game does one get from The Outer Limits? An anthology science fiction show not even aimed at kids.
Hear me out on the Tick figures. You didn't need them, you stayed focused, the discoloration on the torso on the figures of Tick himself make them honestly look pretty bad. 🤷♂
Naw I dont blame your initial reaction to "I'm not collecting this" sure it was a great deal but we cannot collect EVERYTHING that is neat. Great deal for a big fan of the show I'm sure but yeah I'd pass that up as well, can only display so much stuff in our homes before it becomes clutter
I don't get the high prices. When did toy sellers become so greedy & capitalist instead of wanting to share the love & fun with reasonable prices? We've sold stuff for 25 - 50 cents! Now I see it with a $20.00 price tag! It's ridiculous.
Just because you see something as a deal doesn't mean you should get it especially if you aren't collecting them to begin with or have no emotional attachment to them. No need to become a hoarder 🤷♂
Gd morning sir, am fr singapore one of few u tube video on toys collection I regularly watch regularly is it possible to show your personal toy collection on UA-cam. Thanks
Personally I would've pass but it depends on you, if you like them and didn't picked it up then you failed. I've done many times in the pass but you can't buy everything.
Should I have brought it home?
Unless price is crazy I wouldn't be able to leave that creepy bod card behind.
You got monogram universal monster illuminator models for only $15 a box? I've never seen those less than $40 to $50. Usually the box itself sells for around $10 to $15

Awesome toys action figures store ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
SPOOOOOOOOON!
I hope Pixel Dan gets rich so he buys more stuff on these toy hunts.
🤣🤣 Me too...I guess?
I have that same Montgomery Ward wishbook, but - get this - in hardcover, meaning it was the in-store one they displayed at the layaway counter. Great hauls!
I really want some vintage Christmas catalogs! So many memories laying on my belly dreaming of having toys and nintendo games
That Masters of the Universe poster is beautiful. Would love to have that. Thanks for another enjoyable video, Dan.
I too remember the Christmas catalogs they were amazing and yes you circled all the things you wanted.
In your business they are considered primary research!
Always inspiring. Make me excited to go for a toy hunting each day. Much Love from Malaysia ❤️🔥
I used to do the same thing in the 90's but with the toys r us and target catalogs during christmas, man those were the days. Thanks for bringing that memory back for me lol
Awesome scores Pixel Dan!! This looked like a neat toy show. Thanks for sharing ❤
I loved all those catalogs. We used to look through the Toys R Us, Service Merchandise, Sears catalogs. We used to hide the Fingerhut catalogs so we didn't get anything from there lol.
Wow! Love those Tick Figures. And Those JC Penney and Sears books are primary documents to the culture of the 1980s and 90s.
I got a $50 G1 Transformer out of that dig bin you got the Turtle stuff out of. There were some real treasures in there!
love those old monster sets 😀
Froggy flips would Love that creepy bods packaging.
50s 60s yard ornaments are cool....manger scene awesome
You missed out on the tick collection!!!???? Nooooooo!!!! 😮
Thats my favorite cartoon 😂
Love the memories of old Sears catalogs and making Christmas lists!
The dig bin stuff was fun - that Lock is cool! And I'm glad you showed the footage of you flipping through the catalogues - like you experienced, that was a wonderful dose of nostalgia. Seeing you pass up that Tick lot did hurt, as not only was it a great deal, but I also just love that show and those toys in general! That looked like a great show and it made for a great video!
After you described the Skeletor, I went and looked at mine, and it’s the same one. 😁
That big Lion with the articulated mouth was from the old 12" GIJoe line - their Action Team group, it was a Safari set - my older brothers used to have a bunch of those big Joes - they thought the little 3-3/4" Joes I had were blasphemy compared to their giant "doll" version ;-)
I have the Super7 ReActions Universal Monsters Luminators. I had no idea they were based on a vintage model kit. Love the size of the box of the vintage versions.
Man looking at those Wishbooks is like a window to your childhood home, Happy Holidays Pixelfam!
So cool to see that Dungeons Dice game. Totally forgot about it. I always played it with my cousins when we visited. Fun game!
Nothing brings the kid out in me like Christmas time. I love going into stores and just walk through the toy aisles wondering what I'm going to ask Santa for this year. Thank you for another awesome video.

Invaders bronze age is not easy to find in the wild.
Lost 17 long boxes from my childhood to a fire a few years ago.
It was always so fun finding the new toys you hadn't scene in those books and black friday ads.
I have that Mummy Model, I painted it and it actually looks amazing. 💪🤓 I had all the original models when I was a kid in the 70s.
Those Christmas catalogs were always the best! I've picked up 83, 84 and 85 over the years. Montgomery Ward had the best layout at least I think so, they more or less put all the Merch in one place per franchise. Love me some vintage Christmas and Halloween Decor as well!
awesome finds 🎉

I had that MOTU poster above my bed for YEARS as a kid and just got it back into my collection a few weeks back. That artwork holds up!
Of course it does:) MOTU art is amazing!
Missed on big Deals 😢😅 but
It's always next time ! Love the video as always. ❤
I actually still have that Sears Wish Book ’85!
Oh man, I would've immediately bought those Tick figures lot @ a $100! Also, those baggies of Voltron figures, and that peach cheeks Skeletor, depending on how much he was asking.
Those wish books were the best. I remember when the KB toys one and the Sears one would show up.

Haha, there were always those pages with things like pool tables, air hockey tables, metal detectors, etc that we'd mark just in case 😄
What? 20 bucks on the gold foil 30th Amazing Spidey? I have that! I didn't think it was worth that much. I'm yelling get that MOTU poster ha ha. I miss the Sears Wish Catalogs.

When I think “the tick” figures I definitely think “pixel Dan”, no I don’t. You don’t need those!
SPOON 💪🤓
$100 for the whole bin was a super steal. You win some and lose some. But, you live to toy hunt another day. Man, i would love to get my hands on vintage Beetlejuice line i love Beetlejuice
I would have definitely picked up the Voltron figs We had quite a lot of it in hindsight. I suppose you already have all of it. I think it's a great line. Noice Vid mate 🤘👍
That’s a beautiful. Human poster. Wow. 🤯
Another thing Id have loved to get!
Missing those Tick figs on card is a bummer!
It drives me crazy when there is a bin without an empty nested underneath it, so you can transfer it from one bin to the other, then nest the empty bin when you are done going through it.
32:30 those are spacecrafts Dan come on now he told you what those were going to be earlier in the notebook 😄

We only had Ames and KMart so the catalogs were our main method of finding toys.
We have one of the creepy Santas in this video. :)
Here in Portland, OR, there's an artist that takes those "creepy Santa" blowmolds like you were looking at and does an art project every year with like 400 of them. He posts a pic on his Instagram and gives hints at where it's set up and asks that people keep it a secret.
I’ve noticed You like the word “ cool”😂
You awoke a memory when you showed the infaceable!
I like the idea that Raph just pops out of the sewer with a giant pencil and a note that says “note.”
Awesome job dan with the toy hunting vlog
Thanks you for watching!!
No problem
Awesome xmas sweater amazing he man big poster nice catalogues theres santa 🎅 👍🍕
Thanks so much

Nice choice on the models I would have definitely gotten Frankenstein the 82 cover does look cool thou
Thanks! I'm excited to build them!
9:25 Those Chipmunks slippers! Did you have to have three feet, one for each 'munk, to wear them?
Haha! That image is definitely deceiving the way it shows the three lined up. It took my brain a moment to notice their paired shoe
I so feel your pain, $100?!? Also what was the seller thinking
I believe Donner was Rudolph's dad.
I don't think it was a mistake, lot of greening on those Tick figures.
Ah, yes. I saw that too. And good call. Thanks for talking me down. 😄
The ever flowing river of stuff gets stuff to the right people.
84, i was born 6 months before that catalogue😂
I found a complete snake eyes v1 in a dig bin for $34, but they were 50% off.....and he gave it to me for $15. And he looked brand new.....was so happy that day.
does nobody else hear the significant drop in audio quality between Dan speaking on the show floor and him speaking in his toy room?
You need to talk to Froggie Flips on anything Mad Ball or knockoff.
❤ CATALOGS 😍
You’ve probably made a Tick collectors day if they come across it!
Yes. The Tick is awesome. Especially when it is carded. Even you didn’t collect the line, that would have a steal. Sorry Dan.
I have that motu print as a lampshade in my living room 😂
A lamp shade?! That's amazing!!
I'm more shocked you didn't seem to notice the Kenner mail-away Star Wars figure display stand from 1978 at 27:04 in the video! Loose these stands can go for upwards of $300 today.
Oh man, awesome. Yeah, I'm really not well-versed in what I should be watching for with Kenner Star Wars. I'm certain I make these slips all the time.
Will you do a video on the monsters models? Maybe a Patreon exclusive.
Dan they only sell for $5-15... the tick figs weren't that big of a deal lol.. if you had a store maybe
You know Dan, Guillermo del Toro bought a whole house just to store his collection ..... that's crazy I think you are fine bro
It's Creepy Santa time!
🎅
Love how your collecting physical media Dan definitely a trending topic here on UA-cam now a days, especially since the AI overlord is trying to take over the system, pretty scary times we’re living in
I always lean towards “should buy”… I hate that feeling later on of wishing I had. I would’ve grabbed that MOTU poster without thinking twice. 😊
I should've huh?
its was a print not og fyi 60 was very high for a print
I'm gonna have to look it up, but what kind of board game does one get from The Outer Limits? An anthology science fiction show not even aimed at kids.
Hear me out on the Tick figures. You didn't need them, you stayed focused, the discoloration on the torso on the figures of Tick himself make them honestly look pretty bad. 🤷♂
Dam you should have bought the tub
I have Adventure People hands
You totally messed up not buying the Tick figures. It would have paid for all your purchases at the show, plus lunch and gas money....
Naw I dont blame your initial reaction to "I'm not collecting this" sure it was a great deal but we cannot collect EVERYTHING that is neat.
Great deal for a big fan of the show I'm sure but yeah I'd pass that up as well, can only display so much stuff in our homes before it becomes clutter
The tick I want that all of it
So I’m only a few minutes in but you’re regretting not getting that foil spider man right? Lol, that’s a classic cover, I love the foil ones too
Hahaha! Yeah, kinda. 🤪
@@PixelDanToyHuntsI see the Tick part and I’m like meh it’s just Tick
You REALLY need a new Toy Room mic, the current one is REALLY crusty.
I don't get the high prices. When did toy sellers become so greedy & capitalist instead of wanting to share the love & fun with reasonable prices? We've sold stuff for 25 - 50 cents! Now I see it with a $20.00 price tag! It's ridiculous.

You messed up big time with those Tick figures. No other way to put it.
