Taking You To Frank & Son Collectible Show

[@mksolid82]

Slapping super high prices on all the vintage toys will only result in them sitting there for years and collecting dust. I know the sellers want a good profit but there should be some middle ground. 🤷🏻

[@chain_sawyer7469]

Awesome,I've never seen so much expensive nostalgia under one roof😁

[@tiogeorgeone]

I grew up in Rowland Heights and the Wednesday and Saturday trips to Frank & Son were a MUST especially for hard-to-find bootleg dvds, custom tshirt printing, posters and so many collectibles! A great place to go xmas shopping.

[@ronscott7]

We would always go to Frank and Sons and then we had to do a Tommy's chili run on Fullerton Rd afterwards. That was our tradition

[@tiogeorgeone]

​@ronscott7 hell yeah! I used to live off of Fullerton and Mescal so we'd hit up that Tommy's all the time! Also, It's all about Happy Wok on Columa and Fairway! IYKYK

[@is21rocks]

That "Yo mama" had me 😂😂😂

[@MamboKing215]

Very cool; I get extremely overwhelmed seeing anything about collectibles, remembering all of what I used to have growing up, not knowing the future value of today. If only...lol

[@BarricaG]

That's really awesome! Brings up some many memories. I wish I knew about this place when I visited LA

[@TEEMAG69]

Enjoyed all the vintage eye candy, and also the part who you gonna call... yo momma!

[@skyelee9398]

Thanks for sharing. I love these 80’s 90’s toys. So many good memories. Greetings from Oceanside California

[@Jv-fn5xg]

THIS PLACE IS SICK!

[@braddokken9191]

That is very cool, but the prices are ridiculous. Fun to see things I had back in the day!

[@MrGmilton]

Thanks for sharing, I’m in So. Cal about once a year, definitely going to check this place out!

[@TheMultiGunMan]

Very cool. Thank you for giving us a tour.

[@BreakTime10101]

Kirt, you missed the $7,000 Spider-Man bobble head at 8:16 Great video. I wish we had something like this here.

[@juanserrano5629]

A collectible store I would love going to collectible stores 👍🛍️🏬

[@whoami7721]

I've been going to Frank & Son for years, ever since they were in the old location. This one is definitely bigger and better. It's like a Gen X toy museum. That's really cool seeing the He-Man and WWF action figures. The princes they're asking range from affordable ($40) to unbelievable ($200). These things used to cost a few bucks new in the store, and are basically just plastic and rubber. It's the nostalgia that you're paying for. One thing that's changed is there isn't anymore bootlegs being sold anymore. You used to be able to get them at the old Frank & Son. It was stuff you couldn't find in a proper release. My friend got a Johnny Sokko and His Giant Robot compilation on tape, and I was able to find the '80s Hulk cartoon. My other friend bought a bunch of GI JOE and Transformers cartoons there. We didn't have streaming or anything back then, and I think this stuff has been released on digital now.

[@guilty-of-being-right]

Never heard of Frank and Son's. I live in Vegas. Looks like a really cool store.

[@knuclear200x]

It's actually a bunch of stores in the form of a convention exhibit hall, except it's open 3 days a week

[@kenneththomason583]

Lol…I’ve had so many of these toys when I was kid. Imagine if we all still had them

[@FIGNAS83]

@ 10:59, guy looks like he's having a blast 😂

[@Wild1995]

Really enjoyed this. Thank you for taking us there.

[@KevinJL]

Awesome place

[@roddyrod583]

This is amazing. I live in So-Cal and never heard of this. I wish I had kept my 80s toys. Those prices are crazy!!!

[@unbreakable2543]

Thanks for the tour! Great job as always

[@80sLife]

Thanks for watching!

[@Mr_Bob_Belcher]

That guys funko booth was beyond high on prices 😂

[@donnytucker]

I could spend so much money in that place. So much cool 80s stuff.

[@punaforager]

Thanks, that was amazing. I would find myself there every paycheck, I’m sure. The prices are high though. One day they will detach from them and accept much less. Glad to see a place like this exists.

[@shrewdtuna9523]

Nuke the Fridge was awesome a few years ago. The new Frank and Son's location is more convenient 👍. Biggest toy/ collectible spot in California 🙃👍

[@Anorakki]

The Commando figure was also in the display case. Just watched it over the weekend 😍

[@larryzeno7133]

Hell ya, I grew up in La puente until 6th grade… the back to the future mall shot! ✌️❤️

[@dadzilla8015]

Frank and Son's was awesome. I've never been to the newer one.

[@HenryRoss-wu4lo]

Cool 😎👍😊😂🤣😂@That 80s volg ✌🏼

[@johngarcia1340]

Great Video! I went on Saturday with my son! It was great buying Transformers from the guy at the end of the first aisle you went down. The bad thing was the weather and the rain gutters had water rushing down them like a water fall! I got soaked walking to my car because hey who needs an umbrella in LA right?

[@old_school_4ever]

One great place to visit. Not too far from where I live. One thing though, bring enough money cause you ain't leaving with one item only...

[@peymang]

So much nostalgia there.

[@knuclear200x]

I go to this place every once in a while in case I've missed anything. This new location is great too because it's near the Back to the Future mall

[@SouthernSierra]

Saw Mickey Mantle at the old Frank and Sons. Joe McDonald, "the big nasty" was a sports radio guy that used to hang out there all the time.

[@RMVDad]

Recently visited for the first time and discovered it's directly across the freeway from the infamous BTTF filming location at Puente Hills Mall

[@billyv604]

Happiest place on Earth! Thank you

[@deco983]

That was cool! Really nice tour!

[@diggadirt393]

When it comes to signings, Danny De La Paz is like Virgil (RIP) he pops up any and everywhere

[@fivefiveniner1537]

The pandemic had a positive side affect on the collectible card trade 💯 🙋

[@kevinreyes4523]

I thought that place was abandoned, I would always see it with an empty parking lot when I would drive by it. Good to know that it's not.

[@Tonyr-br1yw]

Thanks for showing the prices.

[@MCW1955]

Who you gonna all…..your mama !!! Blew a boog on that one😅

[@80sLife]

Haha

[@KirksCORNER1983]

I had that blue BMX Bike with white mag wheels around 6:39 in the late 1980s

[@bw2273]

I visited the old location a couple of times back in the mid 2010s when I lived in LA. This new location still looks like a Sam's Club but with toys lol

[@vistalite-ph4zw]

Wow, I didn't know that they moved. I would go on Wednesday nights mostly, but Saturdays were cool...

[@RoeVenturesLLC]

5:22 emergency lunchbox had it too!

[@thomashartel1025]

That building was an old Toys R Us store. That’s why the big sign is in side

[@raulvasquez9768]

Thanks for the Video, btw, Danny De La Paz starred in American Me and Boulevard Nights.

[@80sLife]

I had to go check my video to see what you were referring to. Can't believe I didn't catch myself saying Blood in blood out. Oh well.

[@abrahambanuelos7862]

Daniel Villareal, who played little puppet was at that booth next to him.

[@nieksalomons]

Those funkopops are so expensive in America! I buy those for less than 20 dollars (17 euro) at the local Large.

[@jonathanhmm3470]

I wish we had a place like that

[@frankm8533]

Maximum overdrive great movie i also have a tattoo from it. I was always a GI joe collector anything action figures really 80s 90s

[@JB-ko8tq]

You should have got Lurch’s autograph at 9:48 😂

[@talonbreck]

I actually have been going to FnS since before their last location. They were a trucking and warehousing company and held their “show” in the extra warehouse space. It was the go to place for my friends and I in the mid-90’s when playing/collecting some of the various trading card games. I live about 3 hours from there now so I’ve only been to the new place twice. Do the lines still wrap around the parking lot when it first opens?

[@jerryallenvideographer7796]

Great episode, brother!

[@80sLife]

Thank you!

[@Mr.Buttermaker]

9:19 that was hilarious!!!!

[@angelsWin5109]

How fun Let’s go

[@raybo98]

About 3 years ago I took my nephew there and he bought a whole box of gpk for like 75 bucks.

[@80sLife]

That's the prices I'm down with.

[@thegoodcrap2424]

Awesome place and video. If there is a place like this in Michigan someone please let me know. Cali is too far. Great video too bro

[@frankiesaenz9808]

Live down the street used to be better now its more commercial and bobble head at every corner. Old frank and sons was wayyy better had more of a indy hidden place feeling.

[@MonstersOfTheUniverse]

Usually prices at franks are decent because there’s a lot of competition at franks. Once in a while there’s a unicorn and it’s super expensive. There’s one particular dealer who has tons of older toys, but their prices are ridiculous. (They are right up front) and although I like looking at their items I have never bought from them

[@Mr.Buttermaker]

16:35 Pee-Wee's Playhouse lunchbox is $15 on Ebay. You weren't kidding about the prices there...highway robbery

[@ToyotaGuy1971]

I had a dukes of hazzard and chips lunch boxes. I wouldn't pay a penny for those funko pops, they're so ugly. Someone gave me the cheshire cat one once, and I gave it to someone else. They don't look anything like what tney're supposed to, and they all look alike. People started buying them for the sole purpose of having something to make a video about. They're just a waste of money and space, they're never going to be worth anything. Im glad companies started making action figures from older movies and series, though. The 1/6 scale ones like hottoys are insanely over-priced, though. But then what isn't these days. Lot's of cool vintage stuff in there, though! Love to have an 80's surviver bmx bike.

[@automaton111]

Amazing. How long have they been in business doing this?

[@KnifeGuy_]

Ain't nobody buying those pops!.

[@LeannMyway]

I remember watching someone do an interview here with Cory haim

[@selbyjohnson5986]

I need to make it to this one day! Man what’s happened to southern California weather? You guys are getting as much rain as Florida now!

[@davidvaladez6386]

Need something like this place in boring Illinois

[@EricKaufman-yc2yv]

Frank walked by the camera at 3:08.

[@fivefiveniner1537]

Didn't see any Robotech but then again I'm only 3/4 of the way through the video..... 💯 🤔

[@elizabethharrison7306]

You tube 80 Lilfe channel Love my favorite one fan BIG Toy 80 Love my favorite one fan BIG 💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@lennyorgelli7359]

Danny De La Paz was NOT in Blood In Blood Out! He was Chuco from VGV in Boulevard Nights & Big Puppet from American Me & Road Dogs

[@JoshuaSlone-n9i]

@froggyflips needs to go to cali for a trip!

[@01genics]

What Vector Hold song did you use in your intro?

[@MarioPerez-dd3gw]

I purchased that TRU sign and sold it to the person who owns it now.

[@Zomboo-od1zx]

I would not pay more than $10 bucks for a funko

[@80sLife]

Agreed

[@luvpinkhellokitty]

Great tour of this place!! Hubby & I always drive by it!! Was there any Hello Kitty stuff by chance?

[@philrose7716]

I'm sorry will say a prayer.

[@KyleReeseCel2029]

Interesting but those prices are crazy. I can't imagine almost anyone people paying those prices. You'd have to look through the whole store just to buy your one favorite thing. Then you'd might forget where it was and just leave.

[@21Million]

I don't see how you can stop people from stealing those trading cards. In Portland OR, very few would be left.

[@vincently1995]

Wow

[@javiercastillo1186]

Wow thats too expensive, Im not paying those prices

[@prp2350]

you miss the $7,000 Spider-Man funko

[@frostydawggaming7999]

I had the bike that the covers on the wheels, but it got to a point to many of the plastic nuts/bolts came off so I had to take them off.

[@M3Taco]

You would have to pay me $4,500, to take a LeBron doll!

[@aprilperez1174]

I have been wanting to go there. Do they have any lounge fly backpacks

[@tristanwalls6266]

Great prices. Thankfully he didn't let a little thing called inflation, get in the way of us nostalgics, Oh wait ..

[@joewestcoast2565]

its a tour site now for un knowledged collectors just a place to visit

[@renesalazar7021]

Where is this frank & sons at?

[@zillsburyy1]

reminds me of daze with jordan

[@TaterRogers]

How much is one of those Hosoi skateboards? I have always wanted one, but never got it. I rode a Tony Hawk and a Mark Gonzalez for a long time.

[@alexistramirez]

I’m sad that Toys “R” Us has to Closed for Business

[@jonathanhmm3470]

That is pretty cool 😎

[@jeffamador9642]

It was a toys r us

[@indetrucks]

Thanks for showing this. I was interested, but dang those prices are nuts! A beat up and headless Voltron red light for $90!???

[@Misfits89]

It used to be great prices

[@howsway42]

Peewee lunchbox in good shape for 20 bucks on ebay

[@MFBURNS7909]

I miss GPK and MadBalls! I've never been big on anime too but I love Studio Ghibli and Hatoro Miyazaki 🙏

[@koreancardboard]

Thanks for sharing your visit there. I assume those Thrashin' figures are custom? Don't recall ever seeing those. One reason for card prices increasing (sports & non-sports) is due to grading and flipping during covid. Those places end up just being window shopping. They can shove those prices up their arses. I still have some loose Karate Kommandos, Karate Kid and Rambo figures for great prices!

[@renesalazar7021]

Are those bmx bikes for sale?
