Everybody needs to watch Toy Shop on Tour. The show is so professionally done that you forget you're watching UA-cam.
Ed, you're great too. Awesome trip.
They got an awesome channel 🤘
It's been an absolute pleasure 🤝
Thanks for being so awesome 🙏🤓
It's actually a loon, not a duck, on the coin. Hence why it's called a "Loonie." 🇨🇦🪙👍
I didn’t know that, thanks for the info 🤓
We had a great time at these shops,hanging out with the boys can't wait to do this all over again. Still a bit sad they wouldn't sell me the mightymax display in Leicester 😂
I mean it’s a great piece 😜 but would look great in your games roomss
It really would ❤
love the Shai Hulud shirt - greatest band ever.
I work in the Leicester shop occasionally, love seeing it in these videos.
Best band ever!!!
Such a shame it’s over 😢. Loved looking back and man did I miss so many bits in the shops! Bring on next time!! The ending of this video 😂 Love Ryan the voice over king!!
We will return next year for more european shenanigans when Andy gets his care bears and mustard jars on the mainland! 🤘😁
Sounds like a plan!!!
Wow, that Turtle Copter fun ride is awesome. I remember they had those at convenience stores.
Whaaat there’s more of em 🤔
Also wow at the hive and blackstar castle both in box right next to each other! That's a rare sight!
The ice castle looked so minty 😮💨
I LIKE TURTLES
I do too! 😁
Excellent shops! That Turtles helicopter would be perfect in your collection! 👍🏼
I just love that it exists… sure a party van would have been made but never tought i’d see the turtlecopter like that 🤯 makes me wonder what else was created
there is indeed a ride on van. I have photos somewhere, I saw it in central/rural NC, US. I can try to send you photos sometime.
Epic!!
Great video, so much good stuff. That TMNT helicopter is just awesome 🔥👍😁
I need that helicopter 😳
@@EdsRetroGeekOut you wanna flip for it?
2:42 DUDE THAT CYCLOPS JUST HIT THAT MINOTAUR RIGHT IN THE BALLS WITH A BARREL
🤣 it’s true
@@EdsRetroGeekOut HE DIED :O
It's always my Pleasure watching your Channel Ed! Keep the Toy Hunting Video Flowing and Growing! Thanks once again for Sharing! 😁😁😁
Thanks for watching buddy
@@EdsRetroGeekOut 😎 🤝
It's not a "duck." The bird on the coin is called a Loon. Thats is why we call the coin a Loonie.
And now we know 😎
And knowing is half the battle!
What an outstanding store! 🤩 🇬🇧 Thanks for sharing Ed!
As soon as I saw the thumbnail, I knew I was looking at a store in the UK. I didn't know about it until now so I'm glad these guys have shown it to us. Even from the outside it looks nostalgic. I love that old skool vibe that it's got going on.
Love the vibes in both stores here 🤓🤘
@@EdsRetroGeekOut I did as well tbf.
Love the Mighty Max stuff. I was big into that too and I still have mine, including the skull mountain playset. That was a Christmas present also. I think perhaps it was the year after I got mainly TMNT and Thundercats stuff. I was also into Monster In My Pocket as well. I bet this was an awesome day btw. Nice one guys.
It was perfect the car rides were like an hour apart but so much good experiences and so different 😁
@@EdsRetroGeekOut Glad you enjoyed
That turtle copter is legit, never seen one of those before, would have def been worth buying if you weren’t so far from home
Indeed I also think it still has its original colors so it’s insane to see it in such good condition still 🤯
First time I've seen a Mr Machine in a long time! Had one as a kid. Yes, I'm old.
What a cool and kinda creepy toy 😁
That turtlecopter would have fit in your luggage and you know it!
😁it would have fit, i was already thinking how much it would be to drive a car up there and book a ferry to take it home to the mainland 😅
Those white cat figures in Entertainment World remind me of Snowmeow. It was the glass case that had TMNT, D&D, Captain Planet and Terminator etc in it. These places are so cool and yet I didn't know about any of them. I could quite easily go to them. It wouldn't take me any more than an hour to get to Leicester or Birmingham.
Epic! Well go on an adventure then 😁 the second shop had some fun things tucked away
@@EdsRetroGeekOut Awesome. Yes, it certainly seemed to.
Great video, loved seeing all those toys i grew up with. Also, love the Shai Hulud shirt, great band. One of my old bands was supposed to play a show with them (way back when in 2015 lol) but they cancelled for some reason.
Damn I think we got to share a festival with em back in the day but would love to get a support slot sorted if they ever end up touring europe again 🤓
First time watching! Fricken awesome. I’m a collector reseller… my collection is constantly liquid. Love the show!
Thanks for watching 🙏
That is a cool store indeed!!!! Great video bro!
Thanks for watching buddy 🤓
4:49 I had that tootbrush greyskull he-man holder as a kid! Sad to say the he-man figure was glued on. You can't play with it as a toy.
Still cool 😝 glue ain’t gonna stop me!
OHHH YEAHHH bring it on ... so says RY....
😁🤘 we love Ry!
Awesome video love watching you guys hunting...👋😎👌💨💨
Thanks buddy 😁
You better buy one of those tmnt costumes, Halloween it's almost here
🤔 you make a very good point!
22:55 WOW ... nice pick
Yeah he got a good deal on that and a great game as well 🤓
You should do a video tour of your friends Lego collection. I'd love to see it.
I wanna see it too, he’s hiding something there!
I like the sungold mammoth find. I'd bizarrely been googling whether there was a he-man type mammoth ever produced. Found a pretty big vinyl mammoth on a few sites that would be great for dispalying Barbarian figs.
Pretty glad about picking up that mammoth 🙏
Another fantastic reminder of a great weekend. The draws full of toys!!!! That was funny.
U findinf those drawers was the best 🤓🤘
Heaven on earth, love ALL these retro toys and games. Definitely my kind of place.
Couldn't agree more!
That laugh never gets old
😅 well…
The voiceover was definitely cool and man I want one of those mini glow in the dark mighty max figures. Keep the toy hunting videos coming and hopefully you can make it back to the USA to make some more videos with Narc and crew. Also, speaking of that can't wait till your action figure comes out
🤔 my action figure and yes! America is on the list next year for maybe 2 visits 😅
@@EdsRetroGeekOut your action figure is coming out next in the same line as Narc I am guessing because from the mystery photos and the clues given aka someone who knows about toy history it's gotta be you, well hopefully because it's well deserved
That first store looks amazing!
Epic right 😁 so many boxed playsets!
Great stores for sure,,I always love the galaxy warriors figures😍
One of the wackiest lines, too bad I jumped in late I could have bought more on card when not everyone was going crazy for em
Mad balls.....a memory that was buried deep in my memory returns after 34 years. You could shoot that away, right?
Indeed 🤘
I knew a kid that had the Action Figure He-Man toothbrush. I was so jealous. I think the did something like that for TMNT also
Hey Ed And Mattie, great video. Cool toys, Thanks
Thanks for watching 🙏🤓
Man, Leicester Vintage looks like the gold standard! Thanks for the tip on Toy Shop on Tour, I'm late to the party, but hooked!... and those draws at Entertainment World look like hours of fun. Another awesome episode mate👋😎
Aw yeaah buddy 😁🤘
A lot of toys I recognized in the video. I'm a Lego fanatic.
Aw yeaah 😁
I have that MOTU camera loose. I also have the brain and remco lizard dude from my childhood(lizard I think has broken leg now). What a great store that first one! Last one kinda cool too!
Epic!!! 😁
Haha real fun vid with all the Turtle copter n' Canadian coin flip wackyness.
Up until now this UK tour has surprised me quite a lot regarding all the toy goodness one can find over there. And just when you think you've seen and had it all, this store comes along...
A Thundercats driller MOC, M.A.S.K. Laser Command MIB and to top it of the friggin' Blackstar Ice Castle MIB!? Gee whiz!? You definitely don't see those everyday, let alone in one store!?...
I like the The Legoland Black Falcon's Fortress, got one o' those as a child and still got it somewhere.
If real Kenner paraphernalia, that Kenner pillow is quite unique.
Entertainment World? More like a labyrynth haha
Ryan's voice-over troughout this series of UK vids was a neat little addition.
Already curious for the Italy trip.
C y' @ Brussel Con!
Can’t wait for comic con 🤘😁
Duck or heads?.... Priceless 😂
It was a 50% chance 😜 works 100% of the time
Very cool video and awesome to watch 😎
Thanks so much for watching, hopefully we can make it back to the uk next year 🤓
I don’t live far from Brum and the NEC thanks for the visit hope the locals looked after you
Great video and a fantastic looking shop!
Thanks dude 🤓
Bring it on
Aw yeaaaaaaah 😁🤘
Another amazing video 👍 recently found your channel and ive been binge watching all your videos on toy fairs/conventions 👍
Thank you Sir! 🙏
Very nice shop. That Turtlecopter was brilliant, would look great in the collection. Out of everything I saw, I loved that New Bright Big Rex Godzilla :)
Imma need to go back for that copter 🥲
Another great video and l would have to say my favourite things were the TMNT gear,Home Alone Kevin figure and the retro gaming gear.
I kinda wanna know more about that home alone figure, i knew there was a talk boy and video games but a figure 🤔 this is interesting
@@EdsRetroGeekOut yes the Kevin in the box at the 3:50 part of video
Excellent stores I still yet to visit those ones has bit of a drive for me has I use buses currently 😅 but love the stock they have .
If ur ever in the neighbourhood be sure to swing by them 😁
@@EdsRetroGeekOut definitely will :)
haha soo funny calling the bird on the Canadian dollar coin a duck! lol The one dollar coin here in Canada is called a "Loonie", because the bird on the tails side is a Loon (type of bird). Glad you won the coin toss Ed! Lots of laughs, tons of cool toys - great episode!
My ornithology only goes as far as duck 🤣 thanks for that info cool to hear where the name comes from 🤓
@@EdsRetroGeekOut haha Duck was close enough ;) Just cool to see the loonie being used as the non-biased tie-breaker!
Technically I won the coin toss. 😅
You’re a good winner dan 🤘🫶
@@mrdanplastic 🤣
Awesome toy hunt adventure edd n crew.
Thanks 🤓
Nice pickup A jewel lord and Return of the living dead 3 uncut. I use to have that same dvd before Vestron put it out on Bluray. 🤘uncut is the way to go. So much more Gore.
Aw yeah 😅 the scene where she starts pushing the glass in … yikes
@EdsRetroGeekOut Yeah and the scene of the zombie store owner in the back of the van. lol
Found my self at entertainment world yesterday what a great shop
Sweet dude what did you pick up?
@@EdsRetroGeekOut managed to find a loose Major Disaster and A skull warrior mighty max 😇
If you’re a Transformers fan and don’t have it. That G2 Heroes Optimus Prime shown at 3:23 of your vid is genuinely good. I use to have one and wish I still had it, but it was lost in a move because the company that was hired to help us move took the box it and various other collectables and toys I had were in. I didn’t even remember it was in that box and there was so much hassle at the time; especially with them rummaging through our stuff we packed claiming they had to check for things like matches, lighters, and other volatile things and it was just to much and we didn’t have time to find another mover company to help us because the guy who the house was sold to was wanting to relocate soon and the deadline was to close. Things just happened and we couldn’t even get stuff back from them.. I wish I could get that one you have shown in your vid but I doubt I’d be able to resist opening it. I’ve seen a couple already opened in a couple locations in the state I live in, but they are incomplete and to replace any of the missing parts costs more than buying one complete off of eBay. Anyway; that Optimus Prime is golden! Just have to be careful with the knee forming and the rocket launcher cord for the air pump. One thing a lot of people aren’t aware of or scares people is the elbow forming. At first it can be a little scary because of how stiff they can be when pulling, make sure you have a grip on both ends of the arms around the elbow so you can get a few of how they form, and just pull apart. This is one toy you certainly do not want to leave in its alt mode to often, but it roles well and has great articulation. For a toy from the 90’s; it’s very well better developed than most of the new stuff we have now. And makes a great collectors item worth preserving. Even the Laser Optimus Prime that came out sometime after wasn’t as great although it also had a good design (certainly better than all the reproductions I’ve seen!). Anyway sorry for droning on there.. I highly recommend getting that if possible, but I’d you do and want to play around with it then I recommend getting another for play and keeping that one sealed for collection/ display purposes. It is very worth it given it came from a time when it appeared that Hasbro hit a all new high in development.
And sorry for typing a lot and so much close together; I’m having trouble separating paragraphs on here.
I think I have that one in a lot I recently bought i’ll be careful transforming him 😁
Nice! I also use to have an old Technobot set. I think it was an early reproduction set and one of the best sets. Especially with how you could move around the bots that form the arms and legs to grant it more articulation. I really don’t get why Hasbro/ Takara just doesn’t stick to the old school designs and slightly update them more efficiently over the entire redesigning or whatever. I have the Studio Series Hotrod from the set based on the original movie and a Legacy Metalhawk. The Hotrod is a terrible design when it comes to transforming. They gave it the gimmicks from the film and some extras but couldn’t make his transformation between car and robot mode more like the film. And Metalhawk, although has that nice retro look, has double jointed knees and wings. A bit excessive if you ask me.
You're the best . I love the videos .
Glad you like them!
Haha, Andy bought Tigersharks "Gupp" which I traded in last year😅
Nice video as always👊
Anders
It’s the vintage toy circle of life! 😁 how are you doing my friend?!
@@EdsRetroGeekOutI'm doing fine👍 Buying vintage gold😁 Got my hands on a Castle Grayskull store display a while ago. Hope to see you in Norway again soon!
@@yayce100 oh man that’s one of the best display’s 🤤 that’s epic
Always such a pleasure dude. But i am still not sure that is how coin flips work... 😂
😅 you mean we didn’t do it right?
@@EdsRetroGeekOuti am calling that the double denim euro flip.
@mrdanplastic that canadian tuxedo wasn’t lying it was as legit as the maple leafs the rules were written down on! 🤣
@@EdsRetroGeekOut 😂😂😂
I would obviously buy most of the vintage Lego sets
Aw yeah 🤘
1:33 uuuuuuuuhhhhh daymn 😮they have the Hyve in box?!
Indeed 🤤
Great store and great video. Nice
Thank you 🤗
I would have looked through all those carded 2000s/2010s Star Wars figures.
Hi Ed, great channel, cowabunga dude🤩 Greetings from Norway☺️
Everyone should know that shop as it's the one Joe and Gav do vids from! Also it's pronounced lester, Where is Joe? I know Gav isn't there anymore, he has his own shop I think.
Sorry to correct you but the plural of lego is lego lol! No legos!
I love watching any videos with vintage toys and collectibles and it's fun to see something you once had like @23:36 The man sitting cross legged with a sword was a dio scene you could hang on the wall that came with I think a marvel legends Wolverine I used to have!
Joe was on holiday 🥲
The addiction is real
😜 you know it!
Just awesome channel mate
Thank you kindly
Your videos are so addictive.
Thank you sir 🙏
I Love it
Thank you 🤓
I would have bought the copter 😅 (like you said if you lived there), I live in Norway so Could drive over and get it :p
I think I need to hop on a ferry and get it before you do 🤣
@@EdsRetroGeekOut Hehe, someone else might have beaten us to it after watching your video 🤣
It was still there in their last livestream 🤔
@@EdsRetroGeekOut If I didn't have other stuff to spend money on atm 😅
This place pretty cool
Aw yeah
Great video as per usual! Did Ry do the VO work? 😂
It’s uncertain whether that is Ry or not 🤔
@@EdsRetroGeekOutI commented before I had finished the video and heard the shout out to him. I thought it was a familiar voice!
Intriguing.
Joint custody on the brain. Keep it for a month then it goes to the other guy for a month.
lol duck or heads. As a Canadian, Im wildly offended, and it's hard to offend a Canadian. That's not a duck, it's a Loon, we call that coin a loonie lol It doesnt even look like a duck! hahaha
I didn’t know that 🤣
Cool intro, he should make a channel too. Matty right?
He would crush it, but doesn’t want to do all the editing I think
I'm way to lazy 😂and i'm sure we are more successful as a trio ❤
Would you pls tell the battle beast guy to make some more videos. What the heck him and greco.
I know right, ive been pushing greco to do a video for years now 😅
Green robin hood?? How can I find it
Loon. Not a Duck.
And now we know 😅
So how much would the vintage sword of omens cost from the shop in Leicester?
I have no clue, i have one so I didn’t ask. I know retail they can go up to 100$ now.
@@EdsRetroGeekOut I just wonder what it would be in £. Probably 100 again. It's a bit steep but I understand why. I know it goes for a lot online. I just wondered if it would be any different in a store. The condition is often a concern when buying online but I think the items in that store all look to be in good condition. With the sword, I would have to know that the light will still work if I put batteries in. It would be a nostalgia thing for me. I used to have it when I was a kid and I just remember being so excited by it when it would light up. It was a simpler time I guess. I think my earliest memory of Christmas was the year that I had it. I remember seeing it in Woolworths before Christmas. I was mesmerised by it and sure enough it made an appearance on Christmas morning, along with a load of other stuff. I was massively into TMNT and Thundercats at the time. I still have a lot of Thundercats and TMNT stuff but the one thing from Thundercats that I no longer have is that vintage sword of omens. My original one split. Of course I would not have that problem now, but when I was a kid, I played with it a lot. I have the 2011 sword of omens but it's not quite the same.
Duck
You won!

So 2 thoughts here ...ED sees a toy from over a year ago still sitting in the cabinet..This means that LEICESTER TOYS is very expensive or they are just open as a mini museum rarely selling stuff... ugh
Or nobody except for me cares about it 😅 last year they had more remco’s on card but those were gone 🥲 the store mainly had stuff I hadn’t seen there the year before
Ya I really hate when smaller place's like this have out things and when you ask how much they say it's not for sale...then how about you don't put it out because if it's on the sales floor it's for sale
@bloodeagle6458 which places do that?
@@EdsRetroGeekOut mostly video game mom and pop stores here in the US they display certain games a collector would purchase but when you ask they say "that's not for sale"...?pretty sad because most collectors would probably pay whatever price they ask
I've got a brain if your in need. Lol Also Coin flip works if I call Duck I won so you would have had to buy it for me just a FYI you guys reversed the way its played.
😎 you can never have enough dnd brains 🤣
@@EdsRetroGeekOut I've got a few of the old Dnd the Flame guy, bendie Hydra, few others.
Guarantee you heard “innit” way too much
🤔 perhaps
Such a shame...not allowed to use the word ninja .....ruined many titles...but also cool varients
😜 we still used it anayway!
Really not a fan of random voice over guy.
Well he’s gone now …
Collecting toys as adult is weird.
Thanks for watching
Does anyone know of any group of women that buy old toys?¿ Grown men who buy old crappy toys is just pathetic to me. Let it go join reality and leave the toys alone.
