oy Federation Unveils Rare Vintage Toys! Wrestling Legends, Dukes of Hazzard, MOTU, and More!"
Description:
🔥 Welcome back to Toy Federation, the ultimate destination for vintage toy enthusiasts! In today's episode, we have a thrilling lineup as two passionate collectors showcase their prized possessions. Join us as we delve into the world of rare wrestling action figures, exclusive micro brawlers, and iconic toys that will leave you in awe.
🤼♂️ Collector 1: Wrestling Wonders!
Our first collector brings in a treasure trove of loose wrestling action figures, including gems from the legendary LJN line. Brace yourself for a nostalgia trip as he unveils two mint-on-card Dukes of Hazzard action figures, rare and coveted by collectors worldwide. Dive deep into the world of pro wrestling with the exclusive micro brawlers from a wrestling crate, designed for a truly select market. But that's not all - prepare for a blast from the past as he showcases an impressive collection of MOTU (Masters of the Universe) action figures that will take you back to the golden era of toys.
🛍️ Deal or No Deal?
Watch as our expert negotiators assess the value of these vintage treasures and determine if a deal is in the cards for this collector. Will he part with his beloved items, or will he walk away with his priceless collection intact? Tune in to find out!
🚀 Collector 2: Unboxing Rarity!
The excitement doesn't stop there - our second collector enters the scene with a jaw-dropping lineup of still-in-the-box treasures. Marvel at the Wheeled Warriors Battle Base and the Rambo water gun M60, preserved in their original packaging. Explore the world of Batman with a unique assortment of cowls, including a DIY creation that adds a personal touch to the Dark Knight's legacy.
💸 Trade Woes: Overpaying for Rarity
However, not every collector's journey has a happy ending. Discover the heartbreak as our team informs the second collector that, despite the rarity of his sealed toys, the trade won't be possible due to an overestimation of their value. It's a tough pill to swallow, but it's all part of the toy collecting game.

Did he pay too much?!??
If they had sentimental value, no. But it seems like since he was ready to sell them they weren’t sentimental so yeah he overpaid
Probably but sometimes niche stuff all of a sudden becomes desirable to people who are tired of mainstream collecting. Those Rambo toys specifically look like something that rarely stayed in the box or survived after a kid was done with them. I vaguely remember that Wheel Warrior show so he might be better off just giving it to his kid to play with.
Wheeled Warriors is quite pricey here in the UK as super rare ... but like 10% of the fanbase of something like MOTU
🤷🏼♂️He did pay too much but “but”the best thing he could do is sit down and spend some quality time building and telling stories about it with his son .just some plain ol quality time with the lil fella you never know he might jump rite in to it like my kids ……🫡🫡🫡🫡✌🏼
It was sealed doe, that's rare.
“Taking my son to a real toy store”. That hit me hard. There is magic to walking through a toy store.
I’ve overpaid for items in my collection more than once. It’s the thrill and adrenaline of seeing something you once owned and wanting it back, along with the fear of missing out if you don’t buy right then and there, that takes precedence. I do say the toy market is weird right now. I blame world affairs both abroad and distant for the lack of interest in vintage toys right now. Inflation being a big part of the problem. People aren’t splurging for nostalgia right now.
What idiot kid wants old toys? When they can buy newer, better, way good looking newer ones????? Like what is this boomer ass mentality you have
Stolen elections have consequences.
Aka buyers’ market
@@job4391🤡
@@marquisdesade3025 for sure, but sketchy for anyone who’s collecting for investment down the road. I myself collect for the hobby and nostalgia but as well as investment and most importantly to hand my collection of toys and comics down to my kids. But when times are like they are now, it makes me worry that prices won’t come back up. Sell or not to sell? Always the question.
I see many people in the comments of these videos complaining about how 50% of value is a rip off. I think it’s fair given that you’re selling your items to someone on the spot. It’s well worth it if you have a bulk of items that you would have to list and sell individually through time. For example, you sell 10 items valued at 100 each equalling a value of 1000. After eBay fees and shipping you’re looking at about 800 roughly give or take. Giving up 300 bucks for the convenience of getting the cash or credit on the spot vs waiting for your items to individually sell, run to the post office 10 times? That’s a fair deal to me. I love the videos! Keep it up guys!
There is no money to be made selling vintage toys to a toy store. If you want the money you have to sell it individually to collectors. Its pretty simple
It’s not worth it to sell to a store unless you’re desperate for money you will never get the pure value of selling it on your own
@@scourgemeltfacedid you even read what the guy said? Lol so dumb
Usually the standard is 60%
@dripsonice413 - where is that the standard?
In your mind maybe….
Toy trades have always been conducted on the floor. Brings back memories
They seriously need a table to do these Trades on
Nah the floor Great 👍 they look 👀 like Big Kids playing with there toys 🧸 😂😂😂😂😂😂💯🫡
Maybe some mats 😂💯
I think any collector, myself included, has overpaid for items. It's part of the game. Prices drop, go up and sometimes you pay to much. But if u love it, it's still awesome 👌
Many times
Love this channel. Can't get enough of it as a collector myself.
I pay more for some stuff if is something i rarely see but always wanted. I also dont live in the US so anything i buy from the US incurs tax and crazzzzy shipping cost lol so basically i am always overpaying 😅
Lol the TV screen at 7:15 was more than I could handle this morning
Was you hoping for two guys instead. 😂
Maimi vice is a great show
What's up with the audio on this one mine sounds like there's a waterfall in the background. Odd.
It's for ambience
Gotta respect that first sellers squat game, balancing on his toes like a champ.
I can't believe you didn't get more likes I mean honestly I can't do that and I'm in pretty good shape
You need A sorting table! Every time I see someone bring A box of goodies in there you go on the floor to your knees.
Get over it
I believe he mentioned that in an episode and he did have one but ended up filling it up with stuff
@@shannonwilliams1941 Folding table, so when he's done he can pack it away.
Don't worry, we've all been stung at one time or another. I remember in the 1980's buying lots of red box Matchbox Models Of Yesteryear for up to $14.95 each. All unopened so packed them away hoping one day I'd hit the jackpot. I'm in Australia. Flat out getting $5-$6 each now and that's if they can sell. Sold the lot off real cheap just to get rid of them. Could have held on to them hoping the market would turn around, but realised I'd be 6 feet under by then.
We have all overpaid, dude knew it was personal for him though. Did he end up selling them to you?
I genuinely am not a collector however but I am fascinated by this subculture and can not get enough of your videos, you guys are killing it.
These videos of deals are great, you going through large collections people bring in are great, you going to conventions are great.
Keep up the good work guys, you have a great team there! I hope I make it from Hawaii to out your way one day.
Y'all have the best job ever.
Was great to see the Wheeled Warriors base. My Father designed it and I believe did the box art as well back when he worked for Mattel. As a Kid he had brought home a prototype version and I played with that thing for years. Ever time I have seen it in the case it has reminded me of those days. Was cool to see a boxed one come in. I mainly watch to see if my Dads work comes in (he did a lot of MotU as well). I have told him he should consider selling you some of his original designer gouache box art and technical drawings. Though I might want to keep some to remember his contributions to the toy industry.
Never trust a man that'd give up RIO BLAST. 00:01:39 You take that figure to the grave!... TO THE GRAVE! 😂
I overpaid and underpaid as a collector. It all equals out in the end. Just enjoy the items
I love you Show is like Wake up on early saturday morning Watching classic cartoons, remember those days. I wish you guys can post more videos doing a week.😊
7:09 wtf is going on on the tv hahahahaha
Miami Vice😂
You should make a video and showcase your personal collection.
Hate to say it but that guys kid will never be interested in his 80s toys. Maybe once he’s 30+ he’ll start looking for vintage Minecraft toys 😂
Its possible to pass down the same interests to the next generation
It's possible to pass it on but I've also been to lots of garage sales where the kids don't care, don't want, and don't know what to do with their parents stuff and sell it for pennies on the dollar
My son is the one who actually got me into collecting Gi Joe, it's something we do together and enjoy. So I can say my kid was interested in the old toys and I said why not 😂.
You guys need a pop up table for trades coming in my knees ache every time I see on the floor sorting lol😅
I remember the days of having only price guides to value toys!
Always a must watch, great vid!
Its only overpaid if u are trying to resell the item, to get what u paid for it. If that makes sense
Yes we all get duped or we just take loss like i remember Gunbuster DVDs going for 300 plus and yet last year Blu Ray came out DVDs dropped like crazy its part of collecting
Cool vid, them red shoe laces in black converse tho....in SC ......hope doesn't mean anything.
How can this channel have not even 60k subs and froggy has half a million. Cmon people
@toyfederation, can you guys increase the volume? even max audio you're at like 25% of other youtubers. love the vids
Then turn up your volume 25 percent
This guy’s knowledge is off the charts. Most people would blow this hobby stuff off.
I’m guessing he has close to a million $ sitting on the shelf’s there. Maybe more
1.5 ish
He said he wouldn’t accept 2M for it all…so
Love this show
Sometimes its a gamble with how the market changes, but anytime you buy something NOS/Sealed, it's value will drop once that seal is broken. It's just how the collectors and market look at things. Lesson learned for that guy.
Coffee>Mancave>ToyFederation>Makesmyday
Man you already opened the box of that playlet....The best way to get your money worth is to put it together and spend your Saturday mornings rolling around the floor with your son playing with it. Life won't get any better than that!
Just seeing the upscaled He Man display. Awesome job by Matt!
I just paid a little too much for a Darth Vader carrying case, but it had the insert, and was from a childhood friend of mine, so there is a 100% chance it was around when we were kids.
Love this channel. Thinking about planning a vacation that revolves around stopping at Toy Federation and some of the other comic/toy/game shops I follow on UA-cam. I'm in NJ and it's been too long since I went down south.
Nostalgia got us collectors by wallet…dam if you do and dam if you don’t …I feel like the whole world is “off” right now. It’s like we need a reset button or needs to be blown on like a 8 bit Nintendo cartridge. Good luck everyone! Love watching these videos and also heartbreaking same time. Respectfully, Retro! 😎🙌🏻
The time to buy is when you see them.
That was awesome for going live. The show looks pretty sweet Ryan,Congrats.
Great video!! 👍😎👍
AS ALWAY'S, THE BEST! THANK YOU!!!❤😂😊
Crazy how toys r us never left here in Canada.
i had those water guns and the toys from that cartoon. also had the wheeled warriors. looking back, we were kinda poor and i still had every major toy line.
The punisher. If you know, you know.
Somebody get Travis a toy federation t shirt.
Reboot was an awesome show
Yea!
Canadian classic
Love Reboot! Does anyone remember Shadow Raiders / War Planets? It seems to be rare to see anyone talking about them or selling them. The Reboot designer did the character designs I believe.
UA-cam recommended me your channel 2 weeks ago and I've watched every video! I love all of the content, both the in store deals and the trade shows, and I don't even collect toys. Really good editing, like pawnstars, Keep it up!
Thanks so much!
Yeah, as a collector, I never bought toys to try to make money off them, but because I enjoy them. I haven't sold or gotten rid of much, either.
Also not sure why this guy was thinking of selling this stuff that he said had personal value.
I wish selling stuff is this easy.
I like the transparency of determining value then offering a percentage 50% seems a bit low but clearly the shop has big overheads and too much stock sitting..60% of comps is common for video game and sneakers resellers
Most comic and toy stores barely want to give you 30% . These guys are way more fair then most.
Sweet new episode. Have a good time at the show.
It’s slowed down because people are struggling with rent and food prices. No funny money left to buy treats
"HAPPY THANKSGIVING"!!!!❤😂😊
Now I have to go find a video of the Wheeled Warriors cartoon. Thanks lol
M-16 is 5.56mm, m-14 is .308(7.62x51mm) in a magazine fed rifle and m-60 is the belt-fed big brother of the m-14 lol… sry former army here, my military ocd kicked in on the rambo discussion lmao. But i had the big rambo m-60 that broke down into smaller weapons as a kid, but im pretty sure i destroyed it bc i was rough on my stuff… and im kicking myself now bc i had all 4 of the og tmnt turtles complete , a bunch of joes, og transformers and a bunch of marvel xmen and ironman toys too (i know those last one arent really worth a whole bunch) but i gave most of it to my cousin’s kids.
The box was never opened but he opened it but didn't play with it? Hmm...
I lingered round them, under that benign sky; watched the moths fluttering among the heath, and hare-bells; listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass; and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth.
Wheeled warriors had a badass opening song!❤
Karate Fighters boys... Good old mid 90's during the Power Rangers phase. He was part of the set I had.
Price is no object if you want something. Some things have a value beyond what you pay for it.
The m14 was a short lived military rifle and was replaced by the m 16 and the m 60 was a belt fedachine gun that shot a .308 round.
Living the UK🇬🇧 my go to place for Science fiction stuff is Glastonbury high street❤
He is fair, more than most!
I saw a trade table suggestion early in the comments I was thinking the same thing would be cool. Cool to see Wheeled Warriors
"Change like the wind" lmao spoken like a true mark
It looks like Cinemax is on the tv in the background
I was wondering, where do you look up all the variety of toys that come in? can't just be eBay...... I would like to learn how to evaluate toy's better.
it really is just ebay. Been doing this kind of thing for years and everyone just uses ebay. you can't really use multiple outlets because prices can very wildly between website. like amazon is about 20 to 30% more expensive for retro toys and game VS Ebay. And Ebay is just all around more popular for this kind of stuff so often times its the only place to find listening of some items.
Checking sold and complete on eBay is a good start
Yea, a lot of stuff skyrocketed during COVID and the markets on ALL collectibles has cooled... imagine what Retro Video Game and TCG collectors feel.
Prob pretty good, whatever they had it stock skyrocketed at that time, as long as they bought things at the right price and made at least +50% on stuff im sure they are fine. The challenge for these business models are is curating your stock. Most stores you have suppliers and you just order new stuff and it shows up and they keep adding products. For these guys getting these collections and scouring ebay for deals could be the real tough part of keeping the gravy train rolling. Sometimes a hot market can be good for these owners as more people will want to liquidate around those times, if their collection isn't worth much they'll keep it. If they are profiting on their entry cost they'll be more inclined to sell or get credit.
I’m about an hour away. I love the show but I do comics. Is it worth the trip to come thumb through the long boxes?
That X-Wing yall got hanging on the wall looks huge. Which one is it?
17:08 That's the one you're referring to, right? Could be the 2009 Target exclusive Legacy Collection one, a Saga Collection version...or even one of the newer Vintage Collection ones. There's been so many releases of the true 1/18 scale movie accurate X-Wings.
@@Chalor. the only one I have close to that size is the Dagobah X-wing that came with all the vines you could put on it.
This is a general comment: You really need to sell your stuff yourself, otherwise you are really never going to get a fair price from dealers. Many have an attitude that they are doing you a favor by taking it off your hands. This one guy I came across, would give you only 30% of the value when the collectible /toy was released, not the appreciated value or sold to value found on E-bay. I think everyone understands that resellers/ shops need meat left on the bone, but there is a point of being ridiculous. They are hoping that you are in a situation, where you need the money and are desperate. It is better to take the time and sell the items yourself in the end you will at least did not give away your collectibles for pennies on the dollar.
Absolutely this....or don't bother with this hobby and invest the $$ in bluechips
How many alternate accounts are you going to make to comment the same thing on every one of these videos? Anyone with half a brain can come to the conclusion of "selling online". People done sell their toys at this shop just to sell..... If that were the case they would just sell on Ebay. There is a whole experience
If it means you will stay out of stores... please keep selling online. No one cares about you. At all
Dealers give you approximately half of what they can sell it for. Pretty well known.
@@aporreco some even more
Also thinking you guys should do an April Fools video when we get closer to spring. Have Ryan or Travis step on someone's G1 Optimus Prime or something. Or maybe the seller should try to pass off a custom Mr T doll off as a prototype. LOL. Just some ideas.
Take a shot for every time he says I mean #Drunk
Dude doesn't know how to even complete a sense, he'll stop mid sentence and go to something else , and he talks about these toys like he's working on a nuke or poison gas or something all seriousness
let's go!! love the channel
Thanks so much!
I do need to rewatch Miami Vice
Loved Wheeled Warriors as a kid. The difficulty and price of the line as vintage makes it prohibitive for me to collect.
Maybe overpaid but if you want it you want it love it
Does he keep him pristine top stuff thats worth money? He should. Sell everything else. Tables would be good. Make people feel comfortable and more people come
He’s got a multi million dollar successful toy business…he knows what he’s doing.
Invest in some wireless mics. The audio sounds like your in a hot tub
We are wearing them. You’re hearing a different problem. Thanks for watching. New episode next week
He didn’t really overpay u can look them up the Batman mask goes for 800$
They are taking their toys basically to a pawn shop. He should try selling it online. Might take 1-2 years but eventually it will sell.
No shame in overpaying, it’s bound to happen in the hobby. If you start getting worried about prices, you no longer in it for the toys but more into bargain shopping. But it’s always worthwhile to do you due diligence and search fair market value before making a big purchase.
Jayce And The Wheeled Warriors
Great vid...it would be awesome to start adding ANIMATION TO THE VIDEOS SINCE IT IS A TOY STORE
ok- is it Worth point? just read that in the CC
customer is awesome
People just don’t have the money for this stuff at the moment. It’s not 2020/2021 anymore
glad he didnt sell those they are well worth what he paid and could definately get his money back.
No. He is doomed.
Year man!
I like toys.
"It's an M60"
"It's an M14"
Me : "I like turtles" lol
Forgot today was the retro toy con. My last year of working my present job, hopefully my future side gig will NOT involve nights, weekends, or holidays (or domestic disputes, DWI arrests, menta health incidents with no easy answers etc). A nice mindless Monday they Friday gig where I can hit some of these toy conventions up down south. Caught a couple minutes of the livestream, now waiting for the room swaps portion.
M-14 came before the M-16, now we use M-4 (5.56mm). M-60 "The Pig" came before the M-249 (7.62mm).
Hang around this shop long enough you will get beef stued
Zoom in more on the toys please or show it to the camera
Just my opinion, but when you ask a honest customer like that guy "what did you think these were worth?" And they tell you "I just wanted to know what they are worth" you should immediately tell them "well, what they are worth isn't necessarily what I can pay you for this"
Ok
He does... He tells them he looks up the value then gives them 50 percent of that. Classic case of pay attention before you speak
Haha what are you even talking about? It's like all of you people don't have any common sense...
Bro, you are selling to a B U S I N E S S. You are going to a store, a vendor, a business and you expect them to pay you exactly what a figure is 'worth'?
Uhm... how exactly is he going to make any money/profit? If a figure is 'worth' 100$ he is not going to pay you anything close to that. lmao
You maybe get like 50-60% of what its 'worth'.
Maybe if you walk in to the store with some kind of 'Holy Grail' like the 'Wonder Bread He-Man' or some super-duper rare Figure/Collectible you will get some decent amount of money - like 80-90% of what its worth.
Otherwise you can't expect to get top dollar for your stuff, when your stuff is sold all over ebay for differente prices.
Just sell your stuff on eBay if you want to get some money for it. I do the same and i always get close to what its worth.
Can't expect a figure worth 100$, with 50 of them on eBay, to sell it for 100$. Make offers available and accept decent offers.
Geek geek nerd geek !
I never sell and rarely by from these type of shops… I just don’t get good vibes from these places….
Always seems like someone is trying to get over on someone else….
Except ours. Thanks for watching!
