i am so horrifically envious of Andrew’s pickup! All that TMNT movie 3 goodness! especially the Wick with catapult, UGH! Envy doth flow through my veins!

[@ScottCrusher]

I know!! I didn't think too much of it at the time, as the Movie 3 range wasn't on my radar, but in hindsight I'm most envious as well!

[@alfysnewvintagetoyshop4810]

Great video Scott! Thanks so much for coming out to play at the shop and making this amazing video! Always a pleasure to connect with fellow collectors! See you all again soon! :)

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks very much guys, appreciate you accommodating us at the store and no doubt I'll be back soon!😊

[@Seraphim2611]

Really enjoying your vids mate. Your presentation style and content quality is great

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks for the kind compliment, I really appreciate that mate!👊

[@judgejase7583]

REALLY great video guys ! I only found Alfy's shop recently & his prices are quite good for the variety on offer. Hey Matt - I have that Mattel Cylon Raider too from when I was a kid, it's a cool toy (mine has the firing missiles & I still have the figure, box & instructions). Thanks for showing some classic action figures - however being a bit older than you I always felt a bit sad with the 5POA articulation of my figures back then so "articulation" has been my holy grail since I was a wee lad in the early 70's ie: today's action figures are "hand candy" to me. I'd be interested to see if anyone remembers the "Major Matt Mason" toys circa late 60's / early 70's ? These were THE best space toys & figures EVER & the pride and joy of my own collection.

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks Jase, really appreciate the positive feedback! Yeah Alfy's is awesome, you don't necessarily expect bargain prices at a retail store (understandably so!) but I also found the prices very good, especially considering the selection and it's a super fun place to wander around. It's interesting to hear your thoughts on articulation, the action figure lines I was drawn to as a kid weren't big on articulation, most of the Ninja Turtles are 5-7 points but my bigger issue with them back in the day was that the things wouldn't stand on their own! Still, a little imagination did wonders haha! Matt and Andrew may have but I'm not familiar with the Major Matt Mason line.. just had a look on Google and they look really cool!

[@keeponcollecting]

Hi Judge Jase, Matt here. That firing Cylon raider would be one of the first release ones. Cause wasn't it from the Viper or Cylon that a child choked and died from one of those missiles and they had to change the design? Hence the changes to the rocket firing Boba Fett too!! I remember Matt Mason! Andrew has the Big Jim camper and Big Jim. I'm more Action Man. However, yes, Andrew and I love our 70s toys too!! Weren't Mattel doing a re-imagining of Matt Mason, Big Jim and another action fig line from that period? I think it's a 8" line tho...heard anything?

[@StephenBrown919]

I'd spend so much money in there! I can't believe they had Dino Riders! Unfortunately, there's no store like that near me, but it was really fun to watch this.

[@ScottCrusher]

I know right, I have to try not to get carried away there! Thanks Steve, appreciate it mate👍

[@buffyscave9329]

Great video! Thanks so much , great to see lots of toys on display :-)

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks mate, I really appreciate that! I can easily spend hours at Alfy's😁

[@thehobbyist1162]

I’ve been to Alffies new and vintage and it’s an excellent toy shop and I’ve bought a few awesome toys.

[@ScottCrusher]

That's awesome!! Yeah I love Alfy's, I only wish I could persuade him to part with some of the items in the museum display section!

[@charlesltk2099]

Awesome haul, you got 'Jeff Goldblum' ghostbuster figure there, lol.... I believe that Beast can do the back flip (remembered my old friend have that figure and show it's backflip).... Love the TMNT III figures! The horses, if I'm not mistaken that Playmates have reused those horse molds for the TMNT 2012 series for its Usagi Yojimbo stories....

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks Charlie! You've got me wanting to watch the 80s version of The Fly now! I didn't know that Beast figure had a backflip action feature but that's pretty cool. Those TMNT 3 horses are so cool, it's good that they re-used the sculpts because they're awesome👌

[@CashWill_Trading]

Cracking vid mate. Your little yellow Monsters in my Pocket is the Jotun Troll.

[@ScottCrusher]

Jotun Troll, gotcha! Thanks Jake, I appreciate that mate👊

[@UpClosewithLawrence]

Thanks for the tour and awesome haul guys. 👍🏼💎👍🏼💎. What would that deluxe Huge Batman box be?

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks Lawrence, I really appreciate that mate! I believe the huge Batman Deluxe box is a 1966 Batman set featuring Batman and Robin, a bunch of the villains, the Batmobile and a backdrop in the '66 style. Pretty awesome!

[@markheadley125]

Awesome toys 😊

[@ScottCrusher]

Cheers Mark, some rad toys for sure!👌

[@keeponcollecting]

Smashed it mate!!! You captured the day perfectly Scott!! Thanks for pulling all that film together to edit a video that really didn't seem like 33min and captured the day wonderfully. Can't wait for the next time we can all "play" 👍😎😄

[@ScottCrusher]

Really appreciate that guys, thank you for a great day and thanks also to Andrew for capturing some moments for the video. Really glad to hear that you enjoyed it😊

[@penmanovicxxxxxx2694]

Amazing. I'm going to be in Sydney for work at the end of Feb and I will definitely check this place out to drool over the museum! You guys should come on a road trip to Melbourne, there's a few great stores down here. A great vid as always Scott, and it's always a pleasure to see Matt and Andrew hard at work. Great work by Andrew on the steady cam, too!

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks mate, I really appreciate that! I'll happily take advantage of any opportunities to hang out and talk toys with Matt and Andrew.😁 Definitely make a point of visiting Alfy's when you're here, and it's funny you suggest it, I know there are some great toy and collectable stores in Melbourne and Matt were only just discussing a potential trip down!

[@treasuresfortrigger915]

Love the Samurai horses - great pick ups. Wow would love to check out Alfy’s the next time I get to Sydney/Aussie - great team effort lads! 👍🏽

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks Phil, Alfy's is definitely a must-see if you're in Sydney. I agree mate, just quietly, I was a little envious of Andrew with the Movie 3 TMNT lot, especially those horses! Appreciate the support as always mate!

[@leoteasdale7484]

Great shop.. thanks for uploading. although that background music, could be useful for torture lol 😂

[@ScottCrusher]

Cheers Leo, thanks for watching mate! Hahahah I've moved on from using that music, thanks for reinforcing the decision 🤣

[@retroozgamer]

Another great video

[@ScottCrusher]

Appreciate it mate!👊

[@ryanthecollectorkid]

Great video Scott, Matt and Andrew from keep on collecting told me about Alfis and even though I’m in Perth I would still one day love to check this place it, Thankyou for capturing an amazing store and such a good haul of mixed vintage toys I did have some rare toxic crusader vehicles but moved them on years ago. I also subscribed to your channel keep up the good work and have a great week will check out all your other videos 😎👍🏻

[@ScottCrusher]

Oh mate, whenever you're in Sydney you have to check out Alfy's, or better yet, we can meet up there with Matt and Andrew. Do you have much in the way of vintage toy and collectables stores in WA? Really appreciate the kind words, thank you. Oh wow, hopefully you got a nice return on the Toxic Crusaders vehicles, they're super expensive to collect these days! Thanks Ryan, I look forward to checking out your channel as well!🤙

[@ryanthecollectorkid]

@@ScottCrusher yeah not too much vintage toy stores around but my local collector zone is pretty awesome, they also run a toy collector fair called collector toy fair and their is another toy fair called nexus toy fair which you can always find some really good finds. I’ll be heading to Melbourne in may so I’ll checking out some good vintage toy shops one is called “Aaron’s Collectables” and “Lobos” is Insane. In regards to toxic crusaders I wish I kept hold of them but that like anything prices change all the time 👍🏻

[@ScottCrusher]

Nice, glad to hear there's some good hunting grounds on the West! I've been to Lobos before, it's amazing! Will you film a video there? Not been to Aaron's before, will have to check that out on my next trip.

[@ryanthecollectorkid]

@@ScottCrusher yeah Aaron used to work at lobos for 10years then made his own store called Aaron’s Collectables, yep I’ll be doing a episode on both stores in may so stay tuned 😉👍🏻

[@ScottCrusher]

Oh cool.. nice one mate, I can't wait!

[@IndianToyCollector]

I have been to this shop! It's soo good! Nice video :) Subscribed. Cheers!

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks so much! Yeah, it's a really great shop, I'm overdue for another visit! I see you're based in Sydney, are you going to Collector Con this weekend? :)

[@IndianToyCollector]

@@ScottCrusher I did go last time and it was wonderful 😍 would love to go! Most probably yes. Are you planning to?

[@ScottCrusher]

@@IndianToyCollector I sure am, I've been really looking forward to it!

[@jkgamerau]

Love Alfy’s! Never had the pleasure of visiting the store, however the guys have always been super helpful. Can’t wait to pop in next time I’m in Sydney. Great to see some footage. Cheers

[@ScottCrusher]

It's such a great store, definitely drop in when you're next in Sydney and thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it🤙

[@drexsonaljames8345]

There wasn't an Baby Animal made in the McDonald's line...it was Kermit Piggy Fozzie and Gonzo... skateboard...pink car... horse on wheels...and a big wheel... trust me I know because when I was young I collected all four from McDonald's...I remember it vividly because all the kids was waiting on Kermit he was the last one to come out... Piggy was first... Gonzo second and Fozzie third... those were the good ol'days...man I really miss the 80s

[@drexsonaljames8345]

Omg I correct myself... there was an Animal with the wagon...I do humbly apologize...I don't know how I forgot that and Animal is my favorite muppet smh...I'm getting old chief 😂

[@ScottCrusher]

Haha I would have taken your word for it either way, I don't remember when these came out in McDonalds, I just remember then floating around the toybox when I was very young😆

[@darkwolf5531]

Super Cool Treasure Haul

[@ScottCrusher]

Thank you! Nice to meet another TMNT fan/collector!🐢

[@Bucky749]

At the risk of sounding like captain nerd . The hob goblin isn’t related to the green goblin he’s a guy who stole the green goblin’s tech .

[@keeponcollecting]

Well ur right. Cause I was actually thinking of the original film trilogy with Norman and Harry Osborn. So when I was reading about Hobgoblin, wondering what the heck I was talking about, I found, that in some instances, Harry Osborn was depicted as the Hobgoblin in Stan Lee and Larry Leiber's newspaper strips and also in the Ultimate Marvel comic book series from 2000 to 2015. Now I feel like Captain Nerd 😄 but interesting fun fact I hope 👍

[@ScottCrusher]

We embrace our inner captain nerd here, thanks Bucky!👍

[@ScottCrusher]

Aye Aye Captain😉

[@iamsymko]

What vinnies are you guys going to? Mine have nothing

[@ScottCrusher]

Hey mate, slim pickings at my locals as well. Andrew is in the Macarthur region and Matt's on the Central Coast. From what the boys tell me there's a bit more to be found in their local Vinnies!

[@iamsymko]

@@ScottCrusher thanks for the heads up
