I get the same feeling watching these guys that I do when I watch coverage of a rocket launch and they cut to the people in mission control. I think to myself, "Those are just kids who fell in love with something, stayed in love with it and found a way to carry that love into adulthood and found a way to make a living with that love." So amazing to watch the mixture of joy, expertise and enthusiasm. I really appreciate the content!
@@toyfederation you guys have crushed it. I’ve never seen anything like the way you guys do it on UA-cam. And the guys in the store are so nice and honest and respectful. Just seems so real.
Seeing Travis' eyes light up over the Tick figure was great. I also love when you guys get into the weeds on random weird, rare accessories and variants so seeing you guys rip & tear through a bin of parts is fun
14:43 - The *_sigh_* he makes cracks me up. I think it's of a man who is happy he's one step closer to completing his collection, but he also realizes how much more there is to go. I know I've sighed the same way before!
I would really appreciate it if you did close-ups of some of the best things you get. Watching this on the phone it's hard to properly see most of the stuff you guys go through..
Just an exciting show. I hate most vintage crap. But watching collections and collectors in their natural habitat is amazing. The only vintage crap I do like isn't older than 30+years. 😂
At 5:35 that's a zbots Thunderizer tank. Hard to find one with its three gold missiles. I'm actually looking for a variant where the teeth are painted in. Parts bins are a true test of toy knowledge, and tolerance for junk, always some nonsense you pick up in a lot like that candelabra. The Transformers Alternators are incredible, its just that the collectors of them probably have not messed with them in a decade and they have been replaced by masterpiece scale. Also alternators was all car licenses which was limiting, but they were modern car models with seats and engines under the hood. So their popular with car enthusiasts that like Transformers.
Love your content. As soon as a video is up, I watch it. The music cue your editor uses perfectly represents the tone. Curious if you could get some footage of the customer's pointing out what toys they are hoping to get in terms of trade as well as what they purchased? With the guy discussing what Transformers he wanted to get, I'm not much of a Transformer "fan" but I love learning and seeing what others are really passionate about. The boxed transformers he bought looked really cool, but I only got a glimpse.
Man, always so cool to see another Transformers G1 fan…I could feel that customer’s pure joy as he walked out the shop with those gems!! Thanks for sharing!
Holocron in Fort Worth, Texas is the best one stop shop for vintage Star Wars toys, all Star Wars toys. A little on the pricey side when it comes to their vintage stuff, but that's pretty much the common theme when it comes to the vintage collection. I remember Brian's Toys as well. The prices were quite reasonable compared to the prices you see today. I was able to acquire many vintage Star Wars on card during those times from on-line stores like Brian's Toys and Star Wars N Stuff, which was an online toy store headed by a guy in the DFW area. There was another place called Lone Star Comics who also had some vintage Star Wars toys. I also remember attending many toy conventions and finding some good deals during those times. Toy conventions now are more commercialized than ever before with special guest autograph signings and exclusives items. I have been collecting since the mid-90s and I have a very large collection of toys and have a great knowledge on the value. The toy market has changed a lot since the mid-90s. There are more collectors than ever before and some items are hard to find due to the absence of big box toy stores, the big one being Toys R Us. You have a very nice store with a good variety of items.
Great channel, love these buying videos. My favorites have been when you build or complete a figure or set from digging through parts in the back. I’m always stoked when you guys drop a new video. Keep it up 🤘
@@toyfederation honestly, more excited to see another Joe added to the loose figure collection. I'd like to see a whole episode dedicated to reviewing the whole set once it's "complete". I really enjoyed the last episode where you touched on specific figures. On another note, did I see you guys sell stuff on eBay?
Not sure if most realize but there is two variants of the ghostbusters one says who you gonna call at the top left which is the rare one. The other common one doesn’t say it
Thank you very much gents awsome as always , can't say gi joe was big for me but bionic six and thundercats some a team and we cooking with gas lol , whish we could get retro toys readily in South Africa for us retro kids at heart l😂
I'm officially watching this BEFORE Fwoosh lol...still watching My Fwoosh! Just absolutely loving this weekly show format here and the content. *Please don't let Robo see this. Please don't let Robo see this. * 😅 🙏
Always Thought Be Wizard 2 Have a Toy Store But Also Hard To Have it, The Toy's You Want Plus The Toy's You Really Want On Top Of The Toy's You Don't Want That You Keep Getting 😂😅😆
Man, I REALLY want some Inhumanoids! That's one franchise that's rioe for a modern line. I'd like to see the human characters as either ARAH size or Classified size.
Hey Ryan. Would you guys consider doing a video that features some of the Starcom vehicles? Starcom vehicles and action figures are typically high priced on EBay and seem to have a very loyal collector base. Just a suggestion for a future video. Have a great week!
HA, your friend in the Macho Man Randy Savage shirt was the guy that sold me a MOTU Classics Catra at the Pixel Dan booth at Toylanta. Also, I’m not shilling because I’m not a subscriber, but there’s a channel called Sarge & Reds that two to three years ago had several videos on an 80s toy house find. You guys might it entertaining with the items that they uncovered.
@@toyfederation It’s definitely worth a watch as a time capsule. I just hope it wasn’t staged. Because if it was, it was a helluva a lot of work to go to the trouble.
@@toyfederation Oh yeah, I know you guys aren’t staging anything. I was referring to the 80s toy house. I know others have commented about you guys pitching your show to a network. But, honestly you don’t need it with UA-cam. The audience here will grow naturally and you can cut out the middleman.
I have so enjoyed the content on your channel since finding it last month. Does your store have a ebay store ? I live many states away and would like to show support to your store via possibly making a purchase. Keep up the awesome content.
almost took the words out of my mouth, what Im surprised is, after years of toy collecting - one would think a table might help instead of putting stuff on the floor and bending down.
Did you see a part that you need in the lot?
The blue one.
@@lllllREDACTEDlllll The blue one?
@@toyfederation I don't know. The video was only up for 20 seconds... lol
@@lllllREDACTEDlllll Ha.
@@JedirieFTW we don’t. Sorry.
The production quality of this show is absolutely awesome for a UA-cam channel! Way to go guys! I'm hooked!
Oh wow! Thank you so much!
Came here to say the same thing. This’ll be one of my top channels.
Wow thank you so much!
They use a good camera
Progressive scan vs interlaced 👍🏽

This is my new favorite channel this is like pawn stars but for toys absolutely love it
When our production crew pitched it to us they said it would be “pawn stars meets comic book men.” I think they’ve done a pretty good job with that.
@@toyfederation you guys have crushed it. I’ve never seen anything like the way you guys do it on UA-cam. And the guys in the store are so nice and honest and respectful. Just seems so real.

Travis really loved his Tick figure!
@@toyfederationthat's great! 😁
That was the most genuine "Howdy" I've ever heard...well done Ryan

Ha. You're exactly right!
I’d love a video just showcasing each part of the store! Seems to be a lot of really cool figures and sets everywhere!
There are a lot of other UA-camrs that have covered the store. Have you seen their videos?
Nope, just always waiting for the next one of yours to drop! Now I’ll have to go find them!
Just search toy federation
I can’t stop watching these videos. My kind of people. Love this
You guys rock. Just drove 4 hours from Raleigh with the family to pick up some Motu, power rangers and star wars collectibles. 🎉🎉
Appreciate it!
The editing on these videos is top tier. These are so relaxing to watch.
I would really appreciate it if you did close-ups of some of the best things you get. Watching this on the phone it's hard to properly see most of the stuff you guys go through..
Man i want to shop in that store. Ordering stuff online doesn't feel as good as walking in person and getting the full on experience.
This is why we don't sell online!
I meant to say in my other comment, that I enjoy y’all’s new video drops on Saturdays. It’s like Saturday Morning Cartoons for adults.
Cheers.
Thank you!
The knowledge in clearing those parts. Quite impressive. Thanks for letting us watch!
1:29 is that the legacy red ranger helmet or the Lightning?
Just an exciting show. I hate most vintage crap. But watching collections and collectors in their natural habitat is amazing. The only vintage crap I do like isn't older than 30+years. 😂
Glad you’re enjoying this then!
Gotta love parts and pieces!
Yes you do!
All Toys, All the time. I love this channel!
Thanks so much!

Love watching your content Guys ! I watch in Awe everytime
I wish I lived near SC Id be in there all the time lol maybe i'll visit someday who knows
Really enjoying this show. I’m not even a current collector besides the stuff I’ve still got from the 90s. Thanks for the entertainment!
Thank you for watching!

We try to do that as best we can. As far as this episode our crew was focused on filming the bins when the other customer came in for the trade.
Great shop guys! My father got me into 80s & 90s vintage and I am hooked 💯
That is awesome!
you are my favorite vintage toys channel on the internet... TYVM
Man, always so cool to see another Transformers G1 fan…I could feel that customer’s pure joy as he walked out the shop with those gems!! Thanks for sharing!
Couldn't agree more!
@@toyfederation I definitely gotta make a road trip to your shop someday!! I might have a couple goodies too for trading…would I need an appointment?
We would love to know when you’re coming so we can make sure our film crew is there to film!
@@toyfederation woah!! That would be amazing!!!
This is my husband....I promise you he had pure joy coming home with all that stuff!! Lol
Always nice when you find some missing pieces for your personal collection!
So true!
I have that Ninja Turtle Blanket in my closet! Got it when I was around 8 years old for my bed and still have it to this day. Ahhh nostalgia.
Absolutely love your channel! I'm from Montreal, but hopefully I can visit someday. Keep up the excellent work!
love the videos, watch em all day.
I think this is my new best channel to watch
Can't wait for next episode.
We really love hearing this. Thank you so much!
I think I just found a new channel to follow. Love the material

Thanks! More digging in the future!
Another fun video! I love seeing wide shots of the store. Are the shelves a dusting nightmare?
Not that bad
I wish there was a store near me like this.
Come to ours!

We don’t sell anything of worth on eBay.
I have watched and rewatched everything they are amazing and I will visit their store one day
Amazing show. Idea to consider. A tour of the store in detail. What is( each your guy’s) personal collection ?
Great stuff, keep them coming 🤘
You get a pretty good sense of the store from all of the episodes
My new favorite channel by far!
Yes! Love that!
Im literally addicted at this point
You guys look like a group of kids after Halloween and you’re all going through your candy and trading stuff ha it’s awesome
Hi guys I love the channel. I live in Australia so obviously can’t come in and visit. Could you please do a shop tour video. Thanks guys

@toyfederation it was so awesome definitely going to stop by again the next time I'm in south Carolina and I'm going to try and go to retro con
@@donnied74 Awesome!
Was that an original boxed g1 Predaking? That figure is SO COOL. Best Decepticon combiner in my opinion.
That your favorite?
@@toyfederation nope, Superion is my favorite. Predaking is a close 2nd though.
Solid!
Dude was happier than a pig in horse shht I love seeing people excited about our childhood memories
I love me some parts bins!
JOE BITS!!!!!!!!
Ronin Warrior? The powers in the amor? Douchi? The powers in the armor?
THAT Ronin Warriors?
😏
awesome vid keep it up
Will do!
Paint it gold and sell it as the candelabra from beauty and the beast
That's exactly what we shall do!
Do you move through stock pretty quickly? It always looks like your store is packed to the gills.
We are constantly restocking
I always need Dino Riders parts!
So do we!
@@toyfederation i need one piece to finish my Brontosaurus, the small red mine hook 😫
That’s the worst when you just need one piece

Agreed! Or break it up into section by section and drop as bonus episodes? :) Those cases behind the counter look killer.
Unfortunately we don’t sell online or shop. We have dropped several bonus episodes but we see a massive drop in viewership when we do.
Love bins full of parts. My wife not so much but I can spend hours and hours sorting and labeling
Maybe we should recruit you for help!
@@toyfederation if I was close I definitely would
@@markemry7605 Ok.
I mean this as a compliment...but Ryan gives me Steve Buscemi vibes
You guys got any old dinoriders to show off in a episode?
Trying
Ohh I'd love that
Had a few come in the other day.
Hey Guys I just found Your Channnel ...Is there a website for the store ????
www.retro-toycon.com
All these pieces seems like a big jig saw puzzle headache.
Ha. We love it!
Love the channel..hope to see some dino riders content eventually
We hope to see some in the shop! Haha
Is the General Flagg a variant or a repaint?
Variant
Can anyone tell me what that purple figure with the helmet at the beginning of the video was?
i think it is inhumanoids auger 😁
@@vizcachaviolenta8655 thanks! That’s definitely it
Seeing Auger with his helmet on backwards was sad
Easiest negotiation ever lol
Always enjoy your videos
We enjoy that you let us know that!
Strange that he walks in with a bunch of pieces but walks out with complete toys
Does anyone know what Deadpool poster that is?
Years ago I received a Christmas gift a millinium falcon transformer I took it out transformed it and put it back what would it be worth
Depending on condition $20-50.
Thank you
No problem
Wy is there no Hand Shake in toys deal?

@@roundingcorners lol good point.
He likes doing it that way. Has said so many times.
Do you guys do shout out??
