Another great episode! Extra compliments for the good and clear narrative! finding action figures and old toys in second hand stores, goodwill, and flee markets are the best!
I am really starting to like thrifting for vintage toys and finding anything that’s Star Wars vintage related! I’m going out this weekend to some shops that I have never been to and taking a camera crew so we will see what happens lol. Thanks for watching Sytho!
Nice pickups Joey! Some mineral spirits should take that paint off the Hammerhead without damaging the plastic. Also, I love the 65a cardback! I have a few of them from when I was a kid!
By far the best part of this video....Lexi! 😁
Clorox wipes are really good for removing marks and paint without damaging the figure.
Great tip Gary! I hope it works on 40 year old paint marks! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment my friend!
Blue black blaster, blue feet, this is the “SMURFY-IST” Hammer Head I’ve ever seen! 😂🤣😂
Youre Smurfin right?!?!?!?! Haha thanks for watching Bothan! I hope all is well my friend!
I have to say even though you call yourself the Padawan collector, the way you put these videos together is that of a Jedi master.
Thank you :). That means a lot to me! It’s a bunch of fun doing these and a part of my collecting hobby now so as long as it stays fun, I’ll keep making vids :). Thanks for watching Wisdom, and for taking the time to comment. I hope all is well my friend
@@thepadawancollectorofficial I too am an avid Star Wars collector but where I live makes it very hard to collect Star Wars figures. I live in Hawaii on the island of O'ahu and we literally have maybe 1 or 2 stores for collectibles but nothing with vintage Star Wars which sucks. All the new figures which come out in Target or Walmart are hard to get also because there is a bunch of guys who also literally go to the store every morning waiting for the store to open and run for the figures and take them all. A lot of my shopping is done online which takes a lot of the fun out of it because I love the hunt in stores. But at least I get to watch it on videos like this. Thanks.
I have green play do in the belt of one of my vintage stortroopers. Those blue feet made me think of it. I generally say hi on Instagram but I happened to catch this episode while on my computer. Finally, getting to know vendors is the key. They definitely look out for you because you show loyalty to them. Best wishes.
Yes I’m indeed mw! Well said! And play dough in the feet! Haha I’ve never heard of that one!!! But it totally makes sense! Thanks for watching my friend! I hope all is well!
You are a cruel Sith Lord Joey. I'm stranded in the Portlandia System and now all I want is a Hodad's double cheeseburger. I miss O.B.
If I could ship a double bacon chzbrgr to you, I def could! When you visit, hit me up and I'll take you for a burger!!!
Hey Joey really really enjoyed this video ! Great to see the shops you go to great to see the beach community near you - more videos like this please in the future - stay well my friend
Thanks Ashley I’m glad you liked it! These videos are fun to make, so for sure I’ll keep making them :)
Great episode that! Even the music throughout was very good! Great stuff.
Thanks MRK! These hunt videos are a lot of fun to put together :). Thanks for watching my friend!
Great episode Joey! Sorry about the vintage store that closed. I love looking at old antique stores trying to find Star Wars goodies. They have that certain smell and it feels like your in someone’s old attic. I once found a Blue Snaggletooth in one and bought it! Boy, was that exciting. I had never seen one before and there it was.
No way that’s my dream!!!! I would love to walk into a garage sale, see a Star Wars early bird in a box and buy it for $20 haha! That’s amazing that you found that! Wow! Thanks for watching my friend!
I always enjoy your episodes and that one was cool I love toy hugs and seeing shops and stores in local areas. Pet Lexi for me.
Lexi will get that pet!!! I love going on toy hunts and showing the areas I explore :). I am doing another vegas toy hunt and a San Francisco and Nashville toy hunt soon as well :).
Great toy hunt. Good pick ups.
Thanks One Time! And thanks for watching!
Might be able to use masking tape to take that sticky stuff off the bubble. Its a good trick without damaging anything, just make sure you hold the bubble while doing it so it doesnt remove from the card back
That is a great tip! I’ll try it!
Great finds! I love checking out some of the antique stores for Star Wars Goodies! Great video my man!
Thanks SSW!!! And thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Awesome video. I really enjoyed seeing the hunt.
Thanks jd! These are really fun to put together! I love showcasing areas that I do hunts in :). Thanks for watching my friend!
I enjoyed this episode. The Chewbacca is great and deal you got on the Hammerhead and coin was incredible. I’m excited to see your graded figures!
Thanks Blobbie! These hunt videos are becoming my favorites to make :). So whenever I go out on the hunt, the cameras are coming with me lol. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment my friend!
Cool video and great deal for that Chewbacca MOC🥸
Thanks BOE! These hunt videos are fun to put together :)
Great Hunt !
Thanks Pascal! And thanks for watching!
Great score on the thrift hunt! I also loved the SD tips!
Thanks Paul! I really love showing these toy hunts and the areas I go to :). Thanks for watching my friend!
Epic finds
Thanks Woodrow! And thanks for watching!
Guess we'll be able to recognize Hammerhead's feet during the next round of Star Wars Feet Trivia!
Hahaah I wanted to include these feet! But I couldn't because of the paint!!! Thanks for watching Dan!
The Padawan Hunter
Haha hey has a ring to it!
Great vid Joey. Gonna make a vid about our Vinyl cape Jawa and Blue Snag and give you a shoutout!
NICE!!!! When did you get them!!!! Join the Padawan Academy on Facebook and drop the link there too, so others can see! Thanks Troubies!
Awesome Joey. San Diego looks lovely. Need to visit one day. So cool that you found a Hammerhead and POTF coin in the wild that cheap! Keep it up dude 🤘
Thanks XDD! It’s not a BIG find like I see some other collectors find. Like a cantina Playset for 20 bucks, lol. But I was very happy to find vintage on a hunt and yes to save 10 dollars or one dollar, it really adds up!
Awesome. I love to find vintage Star Wars on the “wild”, it is cool that you were able to find some, Congratulations!
Thanks Eduardo! It took me a while (months) to find vintage in a regular antique shop, but it was worth the hunt :).
A great way to safely remove old sticker residue is to use a product called "Goo-Gone". Put a little on soft cloth, then rub area gently in a circular motion 👍 it'll give it a great shine as well👌😉
Great tip Scott thanks!!! And thanks for watching my friend!
HAMMERTIME!
Its about time right???? Haha this ones for you Rick!
great video dude really liked it
Thanks Sorrell! I just made an Ahsoka TVC102 video and gave you a shout out because I kept mine in the box but I said to watch someone talk about the articulation, head to your channel :). Thanks for watching bro!
@@thepadawancollectorofficial ahh man thats awesome cant wait to see the vid.
Cool! I love finding gems around town. I joined Imperial Commissary! What a group. Did you load Hammer on the spreadsheet?
It’s a great group! No I guess I forgot to load him up on the spreadsheet, or at least show it! I’ll have to do that next episode!
Nice finds in San Diego antique shops, I need to go to OB more (so many traffic lights to get down there). I've found a few vintage SW in La Mesa antique shop before but they were in really bad condition and heavily over-priced so I passed. Painted feet on the hammerhead was definitely a throw-back to my youth as well... not only did the folks do that, but engraving initials on the rear or back legs was also done. The horror seeing those engravings now... haha.
Hey Rob! Yea spending a day going around to San Diego vintage and antique shops is a great way to spend a day. You may not find anything vintage Star Wars, but on the rare occasion you do, it’s like finding gold
Great score on the Hammerhead & Coin!! The figure will be great for the display for sure. Any consideration to attempting to remove the blue paint? If so, I'd love to see a brief segment on the try & outcome. Sweet RotJ MOC Chewie too. Maybe I missed it, but would have loved to see what you were given for the trade in's. Although the store might prefer you not give that info out too. I wish we had big shops like that here in Iowa that would offer fair trades & had a good selection to pick from. I'm really excited to see your graded figures now that you got them.back! Can't wait. And can't believe it's already been 7 months!!! Another great episode Joey!
Thanks Mopar! Yea I don’t really like to reveal what the shop gave in trades or store credit, just because the prices always fluctuate in the market and I don’t want someone to go down there and try to get the same deals I get. I would love to try and take off the paint and see what techniques work the best. I have heard a couple so I may do a few and see which ones work the best! Thanks for watching my friend!
Yup my mom would paint the bottom of the feet of my brothers figures with nail polish so we wouldn’t fight over them 😂
Hahaha do you still have them!!! And what color so in case I find one, it might be your old ones!!! haha. Thanks for watching Brian!
@@thepadawancollectorofficial I have most of my figures but no clue if my brother does. If you see a red A or a P let me know 😄
We forgot to add the Hammerhead and the Romba coin to the checklist.
Wow did I forget to check that off???? I'll have to make sure I show that in a future episode! Nice catch!
I was hoping you would have found that Walrus Man in the wild you’ve been hunting for!
And yeah haha it’s almost a rule those Hammerhead heads are loosie goosie!
Hahaha Wally is an elusive SOB! One day I will find the most mint (still in the baggie) Wally for 5 bucks at a thrift store. That’s the dream. Lol. Thanks for sticking with me My friend :)
MIC 🎤 DROP you got Hammerhead that's all you need 💪😆
Haha word! Thanks Deano! I’m about to watch your greatest American hero custom video!
Great episode. Love toy hunts, but I never get so lucky. Lol. Love love the Chewy MOC. Great pick up. Was wondering if you have ever considered offing some of your trades on the Padawan page. I would of loved a chance on that Maul. And then you gotta hit up the food … made me hungry bro. 😂. Cheers my brutha
Haha best burgers in town! I do have other figures that I can put up for trade or sale, but in person buys are always the best, so I don’t have to worry about shipping etc. but I can offer up some things for sale and trade, although I mostly give the stuff that I have that’s vintage for giveaways :)
Hmmm, I wonder why he gets his haircut every week. Lol
Haha I answer all the comments, you can ask me directly! But yes she’s the best barber ever and I’ve been going to her for more than ten years now! Crazy right?
Some lighter fluid and q-tips should clean up the Hammerhead’s feet
Thats a good idea! I'll actually try that. Thanks JD! And thanks for watching!
TK2000 (:
You are verified! Congratulations!
@@thepadawancollectorofficial :D
The thumbnail needs ADHD medication
I don’t know whether to laugh or take more adderall 😳. Thanks for watching chartre 😎
