I didn't see much early stuff, other than the IIc, which is not so early. Is it because he doesn't have that, or that you're more interested in Mac/iPod?
In February 2021 I sold a Power Mac G4 with original box on ebay to a buyer in Australia. Now I know who that buyer was after doing a little research on the username. Glad that it went to a good cause.
Speaking of packaging- We recently bought a new MacBook Air M1 at Bestbuy (unfortunately it wasn't $400) for my wife...it came directly from Apple however. I realized Apple even designed the cardboard shipping box. When you opened the shipping box, as you opened the flap, the MacBook box would mechanically eject by about 1/2" to 1" to present the boxed MacBook to you. I think my iPhone 13 Pro shipping box did something similar back then. I kind of felt bad throwing away the shipping box because of how elaborate it was. Maybe do an entire episode on just packaging and shipping boxes one day.
I work at bestbuy, when they come into our store sometimes they’re in that packaging (very non descriptive) so we’re all like “which MacBook will this be??!!!!” lol it’s kinda a fun game. Really cool packaging though
"he must have a ton of stuff they don't even have themselves." - yeah, I've got the Designed by Apple book and when Apple commissioned the book they had to buy some products from 3rd parties as there were items missing from their own collection.
@@navalfocus @gefthetalkingmongoose it's not a unique challenge to Apple - think of the Qantas museum, which has a very different focus than the airline, different needs and different funding. They each need to exist with their own support and neither can make the business case to support the other, actually. It's very weird when you first get told this, since you're like, "shouldn't they automatically be BFFs?" but as soon as you dig into the business details, it's more and more obvious this is two different worlds.
I usually dislike large collection of products like this, I think of them as kind of a consumeristic hoard of some sense, but I can't help but appreciate this guy's enthusiasm and care towards his collection. Pretty cool!
This video made me realize I needed something in my life I’ve never even considered before: Mint-condition Apple posters! Or, really any technology company’s posters (like Samsung, Sony, HTC, etc). Gonna have to start checking eBay because I never knew I needed that (and I’m sure you can get many of the less well-loved brands for very cheap). Looking at this guy’s poster collection was actually more interesting to me than the actual products! I would frame and hang them all throughout my house if I were him! It may ruin the value but it looks like he has more than enough to spare! I could spend an entire day in that place, I swear! Thanks Luke!
Really happy to see this museum get the attention it deserves! I know Adrian has put a lot of time and energy into it for the past few years, but this is the first video I’ve seen of it.
I have a collection of some 300 vintage computers (not Apple specific), and I feel bad about how much room it takes and that I can't really enjoy every piece because there's just too much. But buying a school to house my gear.. lol.. I am simultaneously in awe and terrified of having a need to do that. Great video!
This is such a love letter to all collectors on the filed - it is just WOW... and when Adrian says : at 04:07 "I don't know how much it cost... but... i am an idiot" ... i feel you my friend... i have a lot of retro computers and other bits (close to 500 items - so nothing close to yours) - and it is like that when you find something "i just bought it because i am an idiot" :D My wife agrees with my self-assessment :D Absolute congratulations on this collection, dedication and knowledge. And of course, great video
Love it! I have a handful of sealed Mac products and vintage hardware including Newtons but it is absolutely nothing like this, and those posters are a real treat to see. Big iPod fan so those are cool to see! Thanks for doing this great video. Good to see the Homer app, too!
This is like the ultimate dream for a kid who enters the biggest candy store I feel your excitement Luke with so much sensory overload I’m glad there is someone who appreciates the beauty of Apple what it used to be many years ago when Steve was still alive now today they are slowlygoing downhill my God this is awesome I’m speechless with words
Thats great but there are a lot of really bad products there as well as good ones. Today's mac lineup is not too bad, unless you wanna upgrade and then you cant. I have a 2019 mac pro and thats a work of art. The M1/2 seem pretty good but I have just started using one (M1 pro) , no problems yet.
Not even Luke knew half of the products apple made What it was years ago was not peak, it was that Iphone catapulted apple not one single of this products and made Steve Jobs and icon, not one this products are on par with iphone
Man are you kidding me? What An amazing collection that mate has, I can’t even begin to describe what was my fav part. And if I was you I would’ve stayed a whole weekend checking as much as possible. Thanks for sharing this.
The agency where I worked bought a couple of LCII’s, we learnt how to use a mouse by playing Spectre Challenger. We used Adobe Photoshop 2.0, Aldus Freehand 1.0 and Quark Express 2.0 (if I remember rightly). I can remember if you imported an image over a megabyte in Quark it would immediately crash.
I came across this video 2 days ago and love it... I live in Sydney and after watching this video I phoned Adrian and had a really good chat with him... (small world indeed)... We are going to catch up in 2 weeks time which will be great... Can't wait to see all of the products... Thank you so much for this post...
oh my god, adrian’s collection is absolutely colossal man!!!!! it’s so freaking amazing!! it would be so fun and awesome to just look through all that stuff. i really appreciate his collection and his dedication towards it. the posters are so awesome too
Incredible collection, I discovered and subscribed to this channel with the iPod touch 4th sealed unboxing video, great content, great work Luke, keep it up!
I met Adrian not that long ago, it was amazing to met someone else who loved apple as much as I do. It’s cool to see him be able to be featured on one of Luke’s videos.😊
7:57 Woah, I Love that lamp. 16:09 My dad had one of these with a little yellow smiley singing some random Spanish words/tune with acoustic guitar playing, pretty funny ^^
I’m by no means an Apple nerd or fanboy but seeing you guys so excited was fun to see and made me excited too. Awesome collection there ! Thanks for sharing.
Wow what a video!! This is awesome Luke!! I have the opportunity to go for a bunch of 2010-2012 MacBook Pros… as well as an ORIGINAL APPLE II, should I go for it?? 😂
Outstanding! I had no idea something like this existed in my own country (albeit the other side of it). Luke should move there for a year (at least) to create content!
I have an inbox apple extended keyboard and there first work group server. I also have a tape of john scully when he first became president of apple in 1985 Ive got a real tape of it.
This is history. I bet even Apple doesn't have collection of their classic Apple and Mac hardware or their old posters. That original box probably is worth more than the actual content of the box!!!
Even the flops too! Dammm. Other than a museum collection ; this is phenomenal collections. Respect to whoever keeps electronic in great condition for generations to come. Keep electronics out the landfill and water.
Probably a more effective title would be something like:The largest Apple collection in the world! and in the thumbnail putting the largest numbered estimate of Apple products in that place and having the apple logo somewhere in the thumbnail would help too I feel like your videos deserve more views
I was working in an Apple reseller when the first iMac was released - I forget how much stuff people don't realise want when on with Apple before titanium and Intel and the era of Tim Apple.
Incredible collection. I had a complete Apple Iic with monitor, printer, stand, drive, mouse.... those whole set in original boxes. I sold to make space and now I regret it so much.
Great video! These are really great items I think the posters are even more impressive as like 99% of those would have been trashed. You’ll never see posters like that again
Amazing! Maybe he already does, but if not, does Adrian have any plans to curate some of his collection in the Australian Computer Museum? Boxed storage is wonderful for posterity, but it would be great to have some of those devices and posters displayed for the edification of the public. Australia is on my bucket list, and I've added the Australian Computer Museum to my 'must sees'. In the U.S., I recommend the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. It covers the whole of computing and has a lot of Apple stuff. I have my own little museum which includes my PowerBook 145. I've never loved a computer as much as that one.
Australian Computer Museum volunteer here. We got plenty of Apple devices on display and are currently restoring including multiple iMac G4s, plenty of iMac G3s (tray-loader & slot-loader) and several 68k devices.
I just stubbled across this post of yours... It's not that far from where I live in Sydney... I must contact him and see if I can have a look... Yeas I'm an apple fanboy... :-)... Thank you so much...
This video leaves me with so many questions like HOW and WHY although you did not specify WHERE there was enough hints for me to ask are you aware how much expensive it would be to house all of that stuff there ?
❤ It’s funny though but I used to work on MOST OF THE MACs featured here AS THEY CAME OUT OF PRODUCTION LINE… yup, I’m that old 😅 I still have a bunch of old PowerBooks and accessories in it’s original packaging. Oh, that PB G3 - it was so sexy when it was brand new! 🤩 Thank you for this video - it was like a journey back into my youth…

You did not care about the Selectric or it was not one?
Flower Power boxed is up there, along with the boxed G3 iBook (never seen before). The IIc boxed is also a contender. And the posters, WHAAATTT!
first time that i saw an apple plotter!!!
I didn't see much early stuff, other than the IIc, which is not so early. Is it because he doesn't have that, or that you're more interested in Mac/iPod?

Even the apple trade in boxes are super elegantly designed
You never throw away your packaging in case you ever resell it. I believe every box serial number matches the phone, or laptop.
He meant the shipping box @@vltruan
Watching because I like the spin Luke takes on seemingly simple stories like this
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoy :)
I'd love to see Apple work with this guy to create a definitive public Apple Museum; he must have a ton of stuff they don't even have themselves.

you gotta do it now Luke. you at least gotta ask if they would, seeing as how you have connections to real people at Apple lmao
Apple used to have a collection housed in Infinite Loop 4, but donated it to Stanford University shortly after Steve returned.
A company called MacPaw actually is opening one called MacPaw Space. The problem is it’s in Ukraine.

Thank you! At some point it did feel like a hoard, but now I’m building a room out where they can be running on display
@@digitalrampage You should check out Mr Fahrenheit. He's got a rivaling Apple boxed software collection. Might even have something you don't. ;)
Definitely one of the silliest comments I’ve read lately. Apple products are an important part of computer history. He’s done the world a big favor.
As an Australian, I couldn't be more proud of this guy. Kudos to Adrian.
Thanks Colin!

What an astounding collection!!!
Thank you!
The guy in the glasses touches EVERYTHING.

Glad to see another boxed TAM - and in Australia, too! There's one just behind me here now. :) Can't be that many left now... only 11,699-odd sold...
One of your best videos ever! I was absolutely captivated with my jaw dropped to the floor. I’d be gushing if I were there as well!
Amazing. Who could have guessed this existed ! This collection needs a proper building and displayed for all to discover.
Thanks!
Your welcome
Loved seeing the Newton Poster! I still have two Newton! They even work!! I loved them! Used them every day for work!
Get all the batteries out, now! Seriously, leaking batteries in old computers will irremediably destroy them.
I’ve been working in service for 24 years- all the batteries are out :)
I was wondering about that myself.
This is most satisfactory like I have ever felt giving on a youtube video. Well done lads.
Wow, super cool blast from the past! I wonder if he has Bongo's Dream Dorm Matt Groening X Macintosh poster from 1989? I actually still have that!!!
That I do!
7:57 Woah, I Love that lamp. 16:09 My dad had one of these with a little yellow smiley singing some random Spanish words/tune with acoustic guitar playing, pretty funny ^^
An Apple Sanctuary... Lots of memories flowing through my head while watching this video :') Missing my old Powermac G4 lots...
Great to see Adrian here. When I was chatting to him the other day he mentioned he has an apple collection. I had no idea he meant this.
Fascinating video! Awesome collection! 👍
petition for more video like this! PLEAAASE
I’m by no means an Apple nerd or fanboy but seeing you guys so excited was fun to see and made me excited too. Awesome collection there ! Thanks for sharing.
Apple products are cool and worth saving. They retain value unlike PC junk
As an Apple fan and collector, I personally would LOVE to see this collection in person, what an amazing tour!
Wow I have only a few old macs, a power pc 6100 a quick silver g4 tower. What a collection that's so cool.
That place is amazing. I have the “two heads are better than one” cloth poster.
This is great. I myself have some pretty old Apple posters from the 90s. Love his collection!
such a great video man, very entertaining to see you fanboying over the collection!
Wow what a video!! This is awesome Luke!!
I have the opportunity to go for a bunch of 2010-2012 MacBook Pros… as well as an ORIGINAL APPLE II, should I go for it?? 😂
Seeing the Performa 575 box really brought me back. My first computer. And I have that exact iBook in the box right now.
The world need a UA-cam channel unboxing and reviewing every apple product inside this building.
I’m intent on doing this soon! Keep an eye out
that second gen iPod poster looked GORGEOUS.
Outstanding! I had no idea something like this existed in my own country (albeit the other side of it). Luke should move there for a year (at least) to create content!
luke dose he have a mid 2011 i mac becuse its my 1st evere i mac
I do
The G3 iBook was my first Mac. I had the box with people holding it. Loved that computer.
Wow what a amazing collection. Excellent video.
Even the Power Macintosh G3 AIO???
Yes
I literally got chills! Amazing find...... thank you for sharing!
can't wait to start my own . this is insane
Hello. I need help. I have a iMac Pro 27” sealed box.
Should i sell it or keep it and sell in 10 years?
16:00 - Oh my god, I literally had that Homer app on my first Performa 630 Mac. He would eat your mouse cursor and burp it out again.
I have an inbox apple extended keyboard and there first work group server. I also have a tape of john scully when he first became president of apple in 1985 Ive got a real tape of it.
Shout out to the cheeky Amiga 500 by the Lisa poster.
Theres a 600, 1200 and 4000 too
He literally liked the posters more then the products! 😂
This is history. I bet even Apple doesn't have collection of their classic Apple and Mac hardware or their old posters. That original box probably is worth more than the actual content of the box!!!
Apple have archived every detail of every product, they can remake any of them with their most advanced ERP system in seconds
@4:56 that’s not the original iBook G3, the original iBook had colors like the iMac G3, generally know as the clamshell iBook as seen @8:00
The g4 quicksilvers were just awesome new. They look crazy today but back then they were so far beyond what other products in any domain looked like.
I was his boss at Apple Centre Neutral Bay. So proud of this young man!
Hahah amazing you saw this mate! You did let me start my poster collection that is for sure ❤❤❤
Mind popping! Truly amazing ! 🤩
where can I find the homer mac app at 16:05 ?
15:48 plotter! Not printer! Extremely exotic today
Man this man needs a entire museum for this
First Mac in 1994.......I drooled over all that stuff back in the day...........nice
Thanks Luke. I love that kind of videos. Keep on doing your great work
Am I crying? I think I’m crying. Or is it drooling? THIS WAS AWESOME! Want mooooore!
From some one who hates anything Apple I have to say damn really impressed
Even the flops too! Dammm. Other than a museum collection ; this is phenomenal collections. Respect to whoever keeps electronic in great condition for generations to come. Keep electronics out the landfill and water.
Sam, stop putting your greasy hands on the iPod posters!!!
Probably a more effective title would be something like:The largest Apple collection in the world! and in the thumbnail putting the largest numbered estimate of Apple products in that place and having the apple logo somewhere in the thumbnail would help too
I feel like your videos deserve more views
I was working in an Apple reseller when the first iMac was released - I forget how much stuff people don't realise want when on with Apple before titanium and Intel and the era of Tim Apple.
You would have to scan the posters and put them on the internet so that everyone could print them out. This treasure must be saved
Well, that does it - I'm taking my iPhone XR to Adrian's Mosman store for a battery replacement! 😊
So for the older computers does he take the leaky batteries out?
Incredible collection. I had a complete Apple Iic with monitor, printer, stand, drive, mouse.... those whole set in original boxes. I sold to make space and now I regret it so much.
What a great video as an apple fanboy this just makes me so happy that somebody showed all this posters and Tech keep up the great job on the videos
See, now that is someone who deserves to be invited to every single Apple event not someone like Sam ✌🏼 loved everything by the way
😂😂😂
Only Apple product I've ever owned is a Shuffle, so yeah!
I really hope that building has a halon fire supression system or something like that. It would be sad to lose all of it to a fire.
These posters... 😍
Wow, you really NEED To do more videos on all that! Plan another trip we will watch it!!!!
This would potentially be a perfect host for audio plugins/sample libraries via audio gridder or Vienna ensemble pro…interesting and great price.
Great collection and nice video ! But no trace of the venerable Xserve ?
You should do a video on his insurance policy(ies) Luke! Good god!! 😮😅
Is this guy using FileMaker Pro to document all his SKU which I believe would be in 5 digits including the posters? I need to connect with him.
This man is a psychic…
Great video! These are really great items I think the posters are even more impressive as like 99% of those would have been trashed. You’ll never see posters like that again
It is incredible how Apple design was way ahead pf competition. Designs were superb 👌
My secondary school had 2010 iMacs and paired them with the Mighty Mouse. To be honest, it was one of the best mice Apple had ever made.
