Vintage Toy Collection

- Started collecting in early 1998 because of a Corgi Batmobile and exploded into this beautiful collection of 60s, 70s and 80s toys. Most of my items were obtained at garage/yard sales in my area, local newspaper ads, shows, friends, family etc. I have been extremely lucky in my travels, I have met some very nice people along the way as well as some very odd people who collect......Wow! After my divorce I started selling this stuff, only keeping the best of course. Fun fun fun, enjoy :)
born in 1961 and now almost 2 generations later I’ve always wondered where “time went?” Well, after seeing your video I now realize that “time” is well and living in your home! Wow! Such precious memories are rekindled watching your video. Interestingly enough it touched a few soft spots: amazement, wow’d, and almost a ....tear but of joy. Your collection is nostalgically beautiful. Thank you for sharing. 🙏
Thank you so much for your kind words and your story! Time is flying by but we are still young, I am glad this collection takes you to a great place, keep it in your heart and let it radiate out, keep that inner kid in you for life :), cheers mate
little wink You are a “true collector.” God bless you friend. 🙏
Keep the faith Hector my friend 😎👍
From a collector to a collector, I'll share my toy epiphany. Having lost all interest in juvenile things (scale models, video games etc.) in my 20s, I replaced them with girls, cars and beer. In 1996 or 97 (26 years old), I was bored one afternoon and went for a ride on my motorcycle. I was passing Atomic Comics in Mesa Az and decided to stop. I was walking around the store, still bored with all the same superheros, and modern day stuff. At the back of the store there was a shelf near the ceiling and on the shelf was a pack of action figures that looked oddly familiar. Everything from what I could see was written in Japanese. I asked the attendant to let me have a closer look and when he handed me the box, I got this crazy rush of nostalgia. As if to unlock my childhood memory bank. It was ULTRAMAN! After staring at it for a few minutes I asked the guy how much and he said $60. Well that just popped my bubble. No Thanks!! He said, Ive had those figures in here unsold for years, how about I let you have them for half off? SOLD!! Well as if to give an addict dope, the internet was in its infancy. I started researching Ultraman and one page after another, I was led from one memory to another. By this time, Ebay is on the scene and Im going hog wild and driving my wife bonkers with what she deemed a dirty little hobby. To sum it up, I havent looked back and have been collecting ever since. I have just about purchased every example of a toy that I had as a kid that I can remember. I recently purchased a 1971 Marx Big Wheel in gently used condition and its the highlight of my collection, right next to my 1978 Marx Green Machine. AND I got rid of the wife but I still have my collection. M78 FTW HAHA
LOL.......great story, sounds a little familiar to mine lol. Would love to see your collection Pete, either pics or video would be cool. Amazing how it starts this collecting bug :P
Wow, I also went through a divorce and a NASTY one at that... But I could finally realise this dream I've had for at least 10 years. And I found a new amazing woman💞 Cheers!
little wink I would love to share pictures. How would you like to see them? I can send you an email if you share your address.
Feel free to check out my account too... It is SPANKING new🤪🤘
@@petebutler5139 send to mayonail@hotmail.com sorry for taking so long to reply, my chatt section was turned off
My all time favorite toy collection video love the piano so relaxing.
Thanks mate :)
I’m so happy you turned comments back on! This is my go to collection video, anytime I need to pick me up!
Thanks mate! I made a change in my settings and they are back, so glad, cheers
If I say I’ve watched this video at least 10 times it’s probably been more like 20. I watched it just moments ago at quarter speed and still found something new or I should say I found another old memory. This time it was the Mattel Wizzer top. I had one with the very same colors too. Of all the collections I’ve seen on UA-cam yours is the most heartwarming of them all. I can see the passion in your finds and it’s displayed with love for the things from your childhood. Most of the displays on UA-cam are new toys placed together with equal parts of OCD and Detolfs, but yours is definitely one to appreciate for the time it took to bring it all together. 👍🏼✌🏼👌🏼😎
Thanks a bunch for the kind words mate, I still have that Mattel Wizzer if you are interested, let me know.
Awesome collection! What a great room to escape in!
Thank you and it is still a great place to hang out and chill :)
So that's where my hulk piggy bank ended up lol...I'm thinking of the numerous smiles those toys brought so many.
Lol, many smiles Philip then and now :)
From a child from the 70's/80's 48 yrs old now , this collection is absolutely amazing , museum quality and beyond nostalgic .Congrats to you my friend with having such a fine collection .Some highlights were the SSP Demolition Derby and Six Million Dollar Man , with Pulsar thrown into the display .Suggest adding some Micronauts to the collection.
Thanks for the compliments Carlos, Micronauts were the last toys for me, then I discovered women and Metal and surprisingly enough I never had any in my collection even though I really liked them alot, oh well. I have sold at least half of my collection that you see here, only keeping my Star Wars, Hot Wheels, Matchbox Superfast and movie related items now. I am very surprised of all the kind words over the years since I have posted this video and the amount of people who have liked it, thanks again :)
Absolutely awesome!
Thanks :)
Love those vintage Hotwheels redline and original track set.
Oh yeah, same here :)
Oh my God, my dad's company distributed those "Sit on It" buttons in the 70s.
Cool :)
BIG JIM!!😍🤘🔥 Wow, looks great!
Thanks a bunch! Gotta love Big Jim toys :)
I thought my collection was nice but yours brought back more memories and blew me away!!
Thanks Pete :)
Fantastic collection 😎👍
Thanks :)
That brought back some memories. I especially remember the 6 million dollar man figure. Also the mouse trap set from the early 80’s. Fantastic collection, nicely displayed. Thanks for sharing

Wonderful 70s toy/pop culture collection. You have a perfect representation of everything I remember about the 70's. My youth fully recaptured!!
Thanks a bunch Mego Matt! To think all of this started with a Corgi Batmobile lol.
Wow
I was really happy looking at your collection..!
Thank you, glad you liked it :)
That is a Very Nice Collection...It is a Passion and once you start it is bloody hard to Stop...Beautiful Memories...Thank You :)
evel knievel thank you, sure was, although most of it is for sale(a lot sold already) at least I can always look at my collection and share it with the world, if it sparks great memories in people than my collector mission is accomplished :)
Ah! A kindred spirit! Amazing video and collection, friend. I love everything about it, and I remember just about everything you own in the collection. I also have a nice collection of toys, figures, cars, comics, sports memorabilia, and I'm a musician as well. Thanks for sharing this!
Collectorofstuff thanks for the kind words, glad you liked it. Would love to see your collection as well, feel free to send me pics or a link on youtube......cheers
Love. Thanks for the memories
Mary Dean you are very welcome. I just watched it again with my older brother......good times and great memories, still chuckling :)
I am a toy collector from St. Cloud Minnesota. I played with most of those toys myself. I was flying my police Virti bird the other day. I noticed the Huskies hockey puck. I graduated from SCSU and went to almost every hockey game the year Herb Brooks coached. Tell me that great collection is in St. Cloud !!??
Ah, the vertibird, still fun to play with that toy. Actually I live in Ottawa, Canada, cheers mate and glad you liked it
Thank you for sharing. It brightened my day.
Shawn Statzer u r very welcome
Very cool ! I saw lots of toys that I had or my friends had .
Thanks, great memories in those cabinets. Some of my buddies had no clue I was a collector, when they saw my collection they freaked out in good way. Stories and memories we shared, some I had forgotten, felt like little kids again, one of my buddies even called his MOM while he was looking at all the toys and was discussing what he was seeing, pretty cool experience :)
that collection stretches to the 80's and 90's
Yes you are right
Always have been dying to know about your 3d Logans Run display. Has always haunted me!!
It was a download made available on a collector site years ago, I had some quality paper and access to a high end printer so I printed it and put it together, made 2, one for a close buddy and myself, love the film. If I find the file I will keep you posted
@@littlewink7950
That is so so cool. Thank you
Fine collection you should be proud.
Thanks and I am, cheers :)
Awesome. I have about a hundred Evel Knievel Figures and all the Stunt Bikes, etc MIB mostly from 70’s to current and a Huge Mego Collection !
Who wants them
Very cool!
Very nice collection. Me and my brother spent hours playing karate men.
So did we, I kept that one, too many good memories :)
Thanks :)
Incredible collection, beautiful.
Thanks a bunch Micheal :)
That's is so brilliant, awesome 👍👍👍👍
Thanks
@@littlewink7950 be proud of it🙏😘
@@BAK-zl5yn I am, well I was as I started selling my collection 6 years ago, keeping only the Hot Wheels and Star Wars, the rest sold or is being sold, all good, still have the video to look at whenever I miss it, did not think I would get this many people looking at it though, WOW!!!!
@@littlewink7950 hi little wink, these are all beautiful things that remind me them of beautiful times,would be nice if I only had these really beautiful things of our or my childhood, so I congratulate with full enthusiasm,it's great that people like you let us experience our childhood again,thank you very much for it and all the best for you👍🙏
@@BAK-zl5yn thank you for the kind words, I decided to take a video of my collection before packing up before moving out of our home, once settled in my new home, I set it up but started selling it slowly, I posted a video on you tube, I never expected the kind words from people like yourself, the memories and emotions it brought to people, glad I did it :)
Those tabletop Frogger, Galaxian and Pac Man video games were actually 80's toys. Still, you have quite an impressive collection! I absolutely loved the Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars and the Mego superhero figures in the original boxes! If you still have those Mego figures and the video games (in working condition) and want to sell, drop me a line and quote me a price.
Thank you :)
Sold the games and the Mego's already, the Hot Wheels and Star Wars items I am holding onto for now, the rest is currently being sold, cheers
I wish I could display my collection like this. Lack of space, for one, prevents me, plus everything gets too dusty.
It is the only way :)
You should summit this to Me Tv they have a show on Sunday nights about collecting
hmmmm, thanks, I might do that :)
love the hotwheels stuff man....that and the Star Wars stuff I had as a kid is an area I didn't collect much of. Now the Carded SW figures are almost out of reach cost wise
Surprisingly the Hot Wheels and Star Wars are the only things I am keeping, the rest is sold or being sold :)
Funny how we have so many of the same collectibles. I imagine we’re the same age. I was born in 69. What part of the country were you raised?
Cool, I was born end of 68 and live in Ontario, Canada
Right on! You should hook up with the guys at Brick Mantooth (UA-camr) and Pod Stallions on Facebook. Those guys are mega 70s and 80s collectors and they live in Canada as well.
Nice! You know what's better than sex, drugs, and rock n roll? Classic toys, cars and guitars!
LOL......thanks
Really nice collection.
Question: There was a motorcycle toy that had a man sitting on it. I think he attached to the bike at the legs and hands. When the bike crashed, he flew off. I think the bike sat on some kind of ramp, and you pumped it up and it flew down the ramp. It was either late 60's or early 70's. I've always wondered what this toy was called. I loved playing with it as a kid.
Thank you. I think you are referring to Ideal's Evel Knievel , one of my personal favorite toys from the 70s :)
No, it wasn't Evel Knievel. I remember that toy. That came out when I was around 10. This toy came out before Evel. The motorcycles and figures were a bit smaller. I remember there was a series of them.
Maybe the Kenner TTP Turbo Tower of Power Toy Motorcycle or Scream n Demons
Yep! Cool!!! That was it. Thanks!
Yay, my comment section finally came back after 3 years of not having any :)
Hi, I’m curious if you still have your precious collection? I ask because as of late quite a few collectors are now selling to move on to other things (thankfully I am NOT one of them!) Your collection is awe inspiring!
@@Urbankungfu61 I still have some, I kept and have grown the Hot Wheels Redlines, Matchbox Superfast collection, Star Wars Collection, I still have some of the other stuff but sold at least 2 thirds of the rest. Anytime I miss the collection I look at it here, all good
@@littlewink7950 Glad you kept what you enjoy, that’s what it’s all about!! Happy collecting!! 🤝🌟🤝🌟
I like the music, is that you?
No, it was the only song I could find provided by UA-cam that would fit my video, not something I would have picked but it works :)
Is the short maskatron a knockoff
Some lady made that, the body of Mego Spiderman with Maskatron mask, she made all the clothes and sculpted the hair to the mask, she did a great job
little wink that’s a unique idea
I was asking cause I know some foreign company made a knock off mask from
I have a question about a 70s toy I had a vehicle when I was a child I remember it being a van that turned in to a drag car but when I looked for such a thing all I could find was the imposters made by aurora
@@jokerproduction5135 I think you mean this toy i0.wp.com/www.curbsideclassic.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/QUICK-CHANGE-MACHINE-1-600x600.jpg
What are those toys called at 8:56?
From left to right, Six Million Dollar Man, Pulsar, this was picked up at a yard sale and it was fabricated in the 70s always loved it, Maskatron, Big Foot and Oscar Goldman
