    It is tricky finding these on eBay. I have seen them but not too often and mostly in the UK it seems. I like the diverse figs that Tomy made in some of the obscure Tomy Train sets. I am loving finding dark blue track era stuff.
    I've seen much less spam and much less theft of videos since the recent changes. And I have made MUCH less too. Not much of a trade off.
    It is so stupididly annoying as you say to see the yellow dollar sign on kid friendly videos. Heaven forbid if ads run on a video that is showcasing products that people might want to buy. It is silly but I think they are improving. Might be too little too late.
    That little LEGO torso I think is a more modern one with the internal supports inside the torso.
    It is a shame that your videos don't get the views of the yelling a screaming toy channels. I showed my son 4 random examples of channels that get close to a million views a day and all had one thing in common - non stop over excitement over every detail. I find it exhausting but I guess the kids love it.

      Be careful on UA-cam right now....put it this way I see very few ad's being served and far too many Google ad's. It's a sign of real trouble.

    • @leokimvideo
      @leokimvideo  7 років тому +2

      You watch what happens next, the already totally overproduced kids area will be even more overproduced. And why start at one channel, just pump it until it wrecks it for everyone. Google really need to consider a channel limit for producers and monthly upload limit. How many bites of an apple do people want. Believe me this site is in some very serious trouble.

    I did try to find the TOMY InterCity 125 on E-bay but none were there. As for the Matchbox Mini Ha Ha 1975 the price ranges between $100 to $10. I ask a few questions in the video so I wonder who's going to answer them.

    @armystuntman8601 6 років тому +2

    Oh wow, I actually have most of these original Tomy sets! Even the intercity engine, somehow. I had a massive single-box set that included Thomas, James, Percy, Annie, Clarabel and some trucks as well. And that red crossing in good condition! The nostalgia!
    My tracks also got damanged ends eventually, especially the turn tracks. I think it was literally just wear-and-tear considering I had the set handed down from my older brothers.
    I've lost all the boxes to time but I do still have all the engines. (I don't intend on giving them away though)
    Also, I think sometimes the little switch under the engines sometimes gets stuck in "Neutral" so to speak, which probably caused the Intercity in the video to fault.

  • @leahhadley6779
    @leahhadley6779 7 років тому +1

    Every child in my family went through a "Thomas phase". We had some of the Merit trains. The tops came off A and C so easy and they just bent into themselves as you can see on your ones. I believe blue track is from trying to force the tracks together with clumsy toddler hands, at least that's how the kids in my family have broken a fair bit of it. Nostalgic find :)

  • @songopaul5863
    @songopaul5863 6 років тому +2

    I remember the Merit Thomas, it had a red version of the trackmaster tracks with round connectors instead of the square ones. I'm guessing they weren't included with the bundle because said round connectors would wear out of shape very easily.
    The old Tomy trains were a big part of my childhood, I made a big layout I would play with all the time as a child.

  • @tinkiwinks
    @tinkiwinks 7 років тому +2

    Leo, the tomy stop-go piece of track, the one with no markings is one of the original stop-gos, also the cross piece of track is also tomy

  • @oodsigma
    @oodsigma 7 років тому +2

    Wow this brings back memories! I used to have loads of the Tomy blue track stuff when I was younger. I had a lot of what you show in the video including the yellow platforms with signs, the stairs and bridge parts, the grey ramp and many of the trains. I also had that exact same imitation set. I don't remember my track ever getting damaged like the parts you have. I think 10 dollars was ok for what you got tbh.
    I think its nice that the newer Annie and Clarabel have a more diverse range of characters in the windows. Shows how the Island of Sodor has changed since the original series. And congratulations to Australia for making the right decision yesterday!

  • @lol4machines949
    @lol4machines949 7 років тому +1

    I think that ramp piece actually comes from a plarail line where there are little trains that fit in the side cervices so that one track can fit two engines. That ramp is supposed to help place the little engines into the slots. I found out that the line is called Plarail advance

  • @ThomasCollectables
    @ThomasCollectables 7 років тому +1

    I love the old TOMY stuff, unfortunately I haven't come across any of it on my charity shop rounds. I think $10 was a fair price for what you got, a lot of that track could still be used despite the cracks. I have no idea how that damage occurred, I have never seen it before. Maybe one of the kids decided to rip them all? It was funny watching you trying to get them all working, those toys are definitely showing their age!!

  • @TroublesomeJunction
    @TroublesomeJunction 7 років тому +1

    So Nice to see a toy box opened and looked at again even though it could have come from a tip.Keep the Iner City 125 Because it is a rare piece that was hard to find in shops as well. The Piece of resistonce in that box in my opinion was the 1975 Matchbox Car.

  • @Tyler-zi6tz
    @Tyler-zi6tz 7 років тому +1

    For the broken track could you heat it up almost to a melting point and fuze it back together? It's to much for just a little bit of repair in my mind but could it work?

    I really think that you should look into making a backyard railroad that you can ride on. I think that it would be a very amusing episode. You can print instructions from a 1965 issue of Popular Mechanics. I think it is the August issue. Anyway, it looks fairly inexpensive for what it is. I hope you found interest in this comment.

  • @GermanWolf144

    These toys are cool I was born in 1991 and I missed out on these I was and still am obsessed with Star wars, trains, ships (mostly Titanic and warships), and legos also a Thomas fan I used to catch the show when it was made with models and the only Thomas stuff I had was wooden railway and Gordon and Henry were my favorites but most of my trains were HO scale sets and I had a layout table up in the playroom of our old place it was wonderful. Sadly I think it mostly vanished during moves and so they all gone I suspect my dad took them to goodwill without my knowing. I miss my toys wish I had my toy trains back. I still have some of the Star Wars toys mostly the 3 inch figures and the vehicles never letting those go.

    Great little video, I think $10 is fine, the job lot must be worth that or more for the spare parts. Recycle the curious split track parts, if they are upsetting to look at. I am sure you can improve or make up some decent drive units over time, then have some more running fun. :D
    I bet you would enjoy hiding the sad hole in the HST aswell.

    The damage on the track is from the adults watching the kids at church. The kids normally leave the tracks out when they leave and the adults don't care about the toys and just rip the tracks apart and toss them into a box.

    It’s a shame to see such rare and beautiful toys in such a bad state. I think you should keep that intercity 125 because it’s a nice model and you seem to like it. I think that old toys are both good and bad because if you have rare stuff like that, but all trashed, then it’s not very impressive. But having those toys is also good because you can look back on them and say there was a better time in the era of toys. I think that the broken track came from a truck because since some of the pieces are covered in dirt and markes, then it was in the rubbish heap. Maybe the garbage truck ran over some pieces. I think that you should keep the broken pieces as a reminder saying “be gentle with your toys!” And if you find any means of repairing them, then go for it. I think $10 was a decent price for all that because, broken or unbroken, it would still pull a hefty price on eBay.

  • @DamonVDAmore
    @DamonVDAmore 7 років тому

    I think I know how the track (may) have been damaged.
    Some plastics, particularly older plastics (70's, 80's) are sort of semi-hard. They flex in one direction but can be very brittle in the other. A bit like wood. Wood tends to splinter along the grain. What you tested in the video was maybe more of a cross cut, but the damage is more of a rip cut parallel to the imaginary grain.
    I can't say for sure but my guess is somehow the pieces at the got hit with a hard force (or fell) on the tip and it fissured the way up.

    UA-cam
    According to your timeline I started my channel when UA-cam became hard in 2012 and I agree! With my old channel (cyril227ify) I found it really easy to get views (2009-2012), even though my content at that time was very amateurish and basic. I decided to start my new channel (ThomasTankCollectables) because I had become better at making videos and wanted a new start. But it was so difficult to get views and it took ages to build up subscribers etc. Even now my videos still get very few views. It may be because my content is very niche and I don't talk in my videos. But I do think UA-cam is to blame to some extent.

    what if the original owners of the broken tomy and playrail twisted the track to get it apart

      I tried to twist the track apart and replicate that style of damage. Put it this way it's really difficult track to break and crack. It's just weird how the damage is consistent through so many pieces.

    The red locomotive is based on a Santa Fe locomotive so yes it is American
