Would you have bought it?

[@roberth.9664]

I think that's a really cool piece, but Voltron isn't enough of my thing to want it myself.

[@1977Eelco]

Depends. How much do the sword and the shield (or the Ninja-star lookalike shield) cost loose?! But, have to admit...it's a great looking toy :)

[@django60617]

No,I have disdain for wired rc toys.

[@actionfigures]

I owned this as a child, and your video brought me so many memories of it just rolling in circles, haha. I'm really happy you were able to get that. Enjoy it!

[@willieellis7009]

maybe at a much lower price, if it was complete and not broke

[@LukeDodge916]

Voltron is the biggest and most nostalgic franchise for me today. As a kid when that theme song would air I'd run to the television and my heart would skip a beat! It is the king of all the 1980s cartoon/toylines for me personally. And with Transformers, GI Joe, He-Man MOTU etc., that's saying something! I even asked my mom to change my name to Keith when i was like 6 yo...lol

[@theartisanrogue]

Your pause, pose, and look at the camera as you stood next to Voltron was the universal “HOOOOOO am I really about to buy this? Is this moment really happening?!” 😂

[@flitwoodrone999]

I love it that your wife supports your hobby! She's awesome!!👍👍

[@jtsdeals]

I had a 1981 diecast Voltron growing up. Loved that toy.

[@MOTUHe-Man]

I saw this Voltron once at Comic Con Manchester, but he was £400. I talked myself out of buying him and have regretted it for years, as I have not seen it anywhere since. I bet he looks amazing with the castle of lions. Awesome find🫡

[@nashhussan4568]

Keep keeping it real Dan, love your pure inner child that shines in every one of these vids. One of the best reviewers still to this day.

[@R3troZone]

Back in 1995 my local mall had a Hills and the toy section had an entire aisle full of Toy Biz X-Men stuff. I had almost all of it. But when my buddies house burned down in 1996 I gave him my collection since he lost his.

[@Offramp-z7p]

I had the Vehicle Force Voltron as a kid. I didn't even know it was related to Voltron, the cartoon I watched. What I did know is it was one of the coolest toys ever. It seemed HUGE to me back then. I think it had spring loaded fits, but I might be thinking of a different toy. But I do remember it had so many parts to form the giant robot. LOVED that thing. 😁

[@themadhamster3771]

That's an awesome find. I remember my dad buying me that motorized voltron on a summer fair, way back in the 80's. When it broke down I took out the bottom screws and removed the motorized platform. I always used him as a metroplex stand-in for my transformers. Thanks for the memories, I hope you find the sword that goes with him.

[@dabbadoo2226]

Thought for sure he was gonna grab that DeLorean. He went right over top for a cyclops bubble bath. 😂

[@irareed5215]

One of the things you found was that Toy Biz 90's Super Skrull figure. I actually have that figure in my collection loose. I am actually am collecting a few of the toy biz 90s marvel figure that I think are cool. Enjoy the video keep up the great work Pixel Dan.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Love that Voltron pick up it indeed has the shogun warriors feels to it 😀

[@jeddysne]

I always celebrate Pixel Dan buying 'big ones'! Happy for you!

[@redcomet0079]

I was born in ‘86, and Voltron was the first show I can remember watching

[@JohnnyUtah1982]

So you know you might have a collecting problem when your kid says "you're getting that??? It's $300!!!" And your response is "...but it is on sale!" 😅 congrats!

[@Starscream2588]

That is nothing My most expensive Item was Transformers Masterforce Grand Maximus complete Boxed $800. As a single guy I spend thousands & Thousands on toys. 45 years old. I only have 5 grand in the bank. All my life savings went to toys. 2 and a half rooms full. I just got the lego Concorde for Xmas. & Working on the eiffle tower. I think .I rather have my toys then food. I only eat one meal a day really. They make me more happier in life.

[@joshwescott9809]

I go in saying that 450 is my budget but my wife and I both know that it'll end being around 600 every time 😆

[@JohnnyUtah1982]

@joshwescott9809 ain't that the way of it...

[@Mos_eisley_photography]

STL comics is my favorite toy store! Awesome dudes run that place! So awesome to see you do a show on them! Thanks for representing STL!!!

[@saturdaymorningfan3123]

"What are these". Atom is the third mask toyline spun off of the 80s mask toys! Yes, that mask! They made a cartoon also! Mask, vor-teck and atom are the three mask toylines! All three had cartoons also!

[@JustinMcFly1980]

Wow brings back memories I had that Huge Voltron growing up, I remember it was almost tall as me back in the day, it was like chest height 😂

[@harlockJC]

I one of those who can say I had that Voltron as a kid, sold it to a kid when I out grew it...I wish I still had it, but at least some kid got to enjoy it after I outgrew it

[@greatgibby]

Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and your family Dan! Thank you for all the GREAT videos over the years! I've been following you since the King Grayskull review, never missed an episode of the He-Man podcast (which I miss very much) and was also honored to have met you at PowerCon. I hope you have a great rest of the year and can't wait to see what you've got going on for next year! 😎👍

[@bassque]

Hey Dan! St. Charles son here. Loved that you enjoyed the town of my childhood! BTW...it's the Missouri River. ;)

[@brainlock72]

I'm down in JeffCo. Pretty sure he was talking about Cuzn Sam's characters, not Dickens. LOL

[@alexgarbe1971]

So awesome to see some Voltron content! This was especially fun for me. Thanks, Dan!

[@Anthony-knows-little]

11:21 - that X-Men Blackbird Jet box is reasonably priced. 18:42 - if you didnt pick that up, I would!

[@luckypetercardcollector]

Awesome 🍀🍺🎊

[@SO-ym3zs]

$300 ain't bad for that classic! Heck, there are Lego sets being released today that cost hundreds more than that.

[@nicholaspritchard5603]

I had that Voltron as a child, and I loved it.

[@Chosenhorse2]

I remember Santa gave me giant commander Voltron for Christmas, and I had allot of fun playing with it.

[@thomasackerly5367]

Man if only i keep the the toys i had in the 70's and 80's.

[@jamesnesbitt1611]

Glad you bought that Voltron! Happy New Year to you and your family! Hope you are coming back to JoeFest 2025? and I love it when you do the Arnold voice😆😆

[@PathOfAvraham]

@5:08 spining a toy in a display package being amazing, we know we're cooked 😢

[@zombiejlt1]

Its because of cool collectors like you Dan that allow me to live vicariously through all your awesome toy finds lol. That Voltron is an amazing piece, I want to own the original Lion, Vehicle, and Gladiator sets one day and I loved the XMEN pocket comics, I had them as a kid but my brother destroyed them like he did with my MIGHTY MAX sets. Congrats on the haul, and I love seeing the TOYBIZ Xmen toys still in stores.

[@rickyt.9482]

That voltron and he-man hot wheel was awesome.

[@42calking53]

He-man hot wheels were awesome

[@DaBigCheeso]

I love everything about this video! Looking through Marvel Super Hero and early X-men cardbacks that I remember fairly clearly. My favorite Voltron that I used instead of the LJN one when I found him at a flea market (he was bigger!) and of course, The Hobbit playing in the background 😂

[@sxhbk]

What's funny is Invisible Woman was really tough to find when she came out and was going for crazy prices.

[@joshcarrico1210]

I never saw it anywhere.

[@tupalev]

I love the colours on that Voltron - congratulations on getting it! And Happy New Year!

[@EdwinC-xp8mk]

Memory unlocked..lol.. me and my cousin had that voltron..

[@beavisleeray7305]

Invisible woman was a series 3 release with vanishing color action which was changed to the more common series 5 catapult power launcher

[@nowhereman4217]

I had that Voltron toy when I was a kid. I have a picture of me playing with it somewhere. 😂 Great birthday

[@OpenByChance]

Voltron is Classic!

[@Starscream2588]

I just got on Ebay a complete GI Joe Rolling thunder vehicle excellent shape with box & blue prints complete for $400. Back at New york comic con 2018. I spent $300 on the Dino riders T rex. Came with instructions. Some of My toys I spend on are way more pricey. Haslab Unicron was $550. Eternia was $550. Toys make me more happier then people do. Yeah mainly what happened Right at new years too first day of the year when people do dumb stuff like driving into a parade & such. I can see where the world is going. I have big trust issues in people cause I was special needs & toys was only thing brought me joy in my life.

[@Belmont_79]

Hi Pixel Dan and Pixel family, that place in Missouri is very beautiful and the store you visited is excellent, thank you very much and congrats for the haul, happy holidays and blessings! 🙏

[@CoricaArt]

Great place to be! Awesome to see you around the area! Merry Christmas!

[@211inprogress]

Brilliant find Dan. Awesome upload. 🤖 👍

[@thorbahn3]

7:50 busy Holiday season got to Dan's editing. :(

[@edluchuk4717]

He became Glitchy Dan for a second 👀

[@figuresix]

Watching this just reminded me that I have all my original x-men figures packed away in my garage. Im gonna have to go dig them out this weekend. I am pretty sure I have every figure and every vehicle opened and unopened. One of my buddies bought that Voltron at yard sale for 20 bucks, didnt work so he re did all the Electronics and put a RC engine, servo and was able to use a RC control on it.. Bad part is it went to fast and would topple over to easily.

[@juampire]

Your Trapper Keeper shirt is the best! So cool!!!👌

[@nathanwallace3337]

I remember playing with that Voltron in a store as a kid

[@davidpyott3710]

I have several Hot Wheels pieces. The USS Enterprise, The Millennium Falcon, an X Wing and 4 variants of the Bat Mobile. I keep them in the packet. They look great hanging on the wall.

[@EdsterIII]

I remember when you could buy Hot Wheels in stores. Back before Covid-19 hit. Now Scalpers empty shelves, clog eBay, and sell to 2nd hand stores. I've found maybe 20 new Hot Wheels cars over the last year and a half. Granted being disabled makes it extremely tough to get to these places before the scalpers run to the aisles. It's frustrating.

[@staticrerun]

That Voltron was a no brainer. Such a rad toy!

[@warrennewman5325]

Epic vintage shop congrats on 1st anniversary of new ch Happy holidays dan👍🎅🎄

[@PixelDanToyHunts]

Whoa, thanks man!! Much appreciated!! 🙌🙌

[@joshualingenfelter8552]

Is that the 70’s Hobbit cartoon going on in the background??? Awesome!

[@RabbiJoeInJerusalem]

Well, it was on our pre-wedding trip in 2001 that I found the Voltron I begged my parents for in 1984. But that was only $20 at a Kay Bee that was going out of business!

[@hyperfixationnation2260]

I hear time bandits playing in the background and I love it

[@michaelautrey6641]

is the superman logo net not the thing he used in superman 2 tha he used against zod, ursa and non?

[@DerkuiDerkui]

Back in 2003, I bought a Voltron toy with the sword. I threw it away when I moved in 2009.

[@chrisbroemel5508]

Awesome!

[@theknight8668]

Just discovered your channel really loved this video your enthusiasm is amazing I’ve always tried to keep the inner child in me alive and seeing you and your mannerisms just makes me happy!! Also your wife is so amazing and supportive of your hobbit that’s incredible and rare to find cherish every moment

[@RemyJackson]

I collected all those 90s Toy Biz figures. While I didn't get every version of each character, the only character I never got was that Taskmaster figure

[@AMR-bf8nx]

Nostalgia is very dangerous… 😂

[@hmmdoh7835]

with 300 i think i can have a nice retro transformable Voltron

[@bingbongtoysKY]

beautiful! 🎉🎉🎉

[@deadshadow04]

6:20 i was gonna say the same!!! Christmas Vacation!!!!

[@teddyrubskin3354]

Old Saint Charles is near the MISSOURI River dude ... Not the Mississippi

[@KPtain_RC]

Great video, You can really feel the excitement for toys! 👍

[@stompingrabbit]

Spencer's reaction was priceless! Amazing video as always

[@loganjorgensen]

Funny coincidence, I'm not a Hot Wheels collector either, but that TMNT van got me started while out shopping, up to four already lol. The MOTU Land Shark they made turned out really nice. I can see why adults collect them, we can't all be Jay Leno lol. 25:26 So true, Superman is the ultimate anti-accessories character, he doesn't need any vehicles or gadgets.😄I think oxygen is the only thing he ever needed for long periods in outer space. When I saw the title my first thought was something small but pricey, but really by the pound that has a lot of value to it, 25% off so it was a bargain heh.

[@talonnon_152]

As far as Toybiz Marvel Superheroes go, you said you see Invisible woman everywhere, but do you have the other invisible woman with the Vanishing Color?

[@jesusgomez-nieves8287]

Thanks for a great year filled with awesome videos! Congratulations on your success with your new channel.

[@thegameoverclub]

Love the new Channel and you should totally do a "HAUL of the YEAR" video seeing which toy was your favorite to pick up during the year

[@coreseven3793]

Dude i had that voltron in the 80s that thing was huge great memories with that toy and i left it at my grandmas place and magically disappeared damit

[@archmage7813]

I love your videos. My wife thinks I buy everything and then I show her your videos and she realizes that I am much more selective

[@dwingsworld2581]

amazing piece!! Thanks for sharing

[@JoshuaFante]

Ppl like this (never seen or heard of the guy btw) I want getting rare items or ANY items cool. He checks all the boxes, grew up with these items, loves these items, gets super excited, and won't sell it next week for $40 more! These items are and should be ONLY for kids in 70s, 80s, and last of a dead era 90s (hmm early lol) baby's. 😅 Just ppl who love them and want them because it actually means something and takes them to a better time in life.

[@rbivgq1734]

That shirt is sweet its looks like a trapper keeper graphic to me, which is awesome.

[@Leonidas-k4f]

I got your book for Christmas.Its one of the coolest things I got this year!

[@RonnieJohnson-b6g]

Great show love it

[@sleepyheadfpv1507]

The Santa Porsche is amazing!

[@NickMiller-b2d]

I do have to admit that's an awesome Voltron

[@legendodinson7082]

Man. I had that giant Voltron as a kid. Also, the brown wolverine, the blue and yellow, and a black and gold one. Stumbled across the wolverine mutant cycle in a tub in my garage last month.

[@Fletcherlives]

Love the video. Happy new year, Dan!

[@StevenHaughey-y9s]

That shirt is great!

[@AnotherGalaxyToys]

Love the clothespin play feature on the Voltron hands 😂 That reminds me of the much smaller "computer controlled" Voltron.

[@thelowerearth3720]

I found that Ford Transit Supervan just a week or two ago! Had to have it!

[@Dylanio21]

Amazing journey this year on this channel! Loved every second, I genuinely look forward to it every Saturday! Glad you got that look from your wife that I always get, haha!

[@miguelarcachero6103]

You should honouring for Jack Angel! Nuff said!

[@Ark-tv2dg]

Awesome finds! I really love everything you put out on this channel I look forward to it every week. Thanks and keep it up!!

[@NewbombedTurk]

I still have that Voltron, the stickers are trashed on it, but it’s still works. I wish I could find the sword for it

[@Harpoquondrax]

What an awesome deal on a great score!

[@Brad93698]

neat video. i still cant believe you found that foreign sy-klone at the one store before...I want that thing !

[@staticrerun]

Dan, in regards to the original release of Toy Biz X-Men series. The first original wave all came with their own character cards. I believe once they switch to that J slot the cards were then random.

[@JoelRodriguezJROD81]

I remember getting that robot lion at swap meet back in the day all complete but not for that price he's crazy.

[@Jackanackanorie]

Pretty sure saw FroggyFlips had a few of those Voltrons and sold them on from memory. What about your kid, did he find anything there too? Mine would be all over anything Star Wars!

[@antonius9]

You cannot go wrong with Voltron. Congrats Dan. Thanks again for another fun video.

[@johnm.withersiv4352]

Micro playsets are great. My brother had one of those X-Men sets. He was full on the Mighty Max generation.

[@bigdiesel4342]

I just traded in a lot of McFarlane figures at Stl Comics. Always pretty fair with prices.

[@videogamessource2473]

No sword but has the box..... gotta get it! Lol.... Sweet!

[@dannytepper7347]

Hey Dan. A Danny here. Nice vid mate.

[@73ocampo]

Hello I remember one that was diecast metal, that came apart and you can put it back into the tall Voltron Figure. It was from Japan and the toy store at the time was in California in the 1980's, I love the cartoon. Thank you for the video.
