Toys of the 60s 70s 80s and early 90s were real quality compared to the thrash of today, I caught the later end of it in the early 90s collecting Britain's farm models when I was small with a shop just exactly like this in the nearest town, it closed down in 1994 and the owner passed away around 2000.. It was a huge loss and a real alladins cave magic feel
Totally agree with yo I’m a child of the 70’s and 80’s and I believe something has been lost, toys in my day were fantastic and had huge collection of Star Wars, Action Force He-man Terrahawks and Mask, in 2007 I lost my job during recession and had to sell them, it gutted me but family was more important made few grand from them, But my kids today never interested in physical toys just Xbox , shame
I was only thinking about this the other week: There must be an old toyshop supply cupboard somewhere full of old Starwars? And more I see? I remember those old TLOTR figures from my childhood. Nice...
@@CuriosSpiritual I’ve still got all my he-man, dungeons and dragons, Star Wars and action man toys from the 80s, some still in original boxes but all in used and played with condition - was great to see this find of unopened toys, thanks for sharing 👍🏻
That is amazing, some amazing Star Wars finds but bet there was some other amazing items and historic toys. Who did the money from the auction go to though - hope it went to Frank Beech himself or his family, rather than a debt recovery company or something.l,
Hang on a minute, this shop closed in 2009??? So it was selling old toys from 20-40 years prior and never got new stock? No Star Wars fans ever cleaned this out when it was open? Something doesn’t add up here? Is there more information not being shared ?
That’s still odd, that all that stock was kept and that no one ever knew about it, it’s not normally how shops operate even small ones, bizzare, and it’s just a shame an auction house got all the stuff and not a fan, without having to pay ££££££ I’m also surprised no one ever broke in to it either

Talk about stepping back in time....

Amazing so many were found,and the guy was sitting on a fortune without knowing it,thanks for the comment.
@@CuriosSpiritual 👍💀
When most stores close they sell everything off first. Great story though.
Cool video but your information is wrong. The PALITOY Boba Fett you're presenting here was not part of this find along with some other items.
Great collection, was surprised not to see any He - Man figures.
They were big business big bucks now if you kept them

this was old stock that was in a room dumped upstairs,new toys were downstairs being sold,all these rare ones were behind tons of clutter

@@liveanadventure429 you could not even call it store room, box after box of bits parts shelves broken toys all covered in a layer bird poop
Amazing
real treasure
Wow, I would sell my soul for that shop!
You and me both!
