AMAZING VINTAGE FINDS! - Toy Hunting at SPACE ODDITY in AMSTERDAM!

[@royscustomfigures]

Jef is a great guy. He knows so much, invested in the culture and is collector friendly! He is a business man, but keeps the collectors wallet in mind! Very rare and unique store. Always visit when going to Amsterdam. Cool that you guys documented this, I think he loves this!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

I hope we did his passion some justice 🤓 I think there’s a lot more stories in that store if you hang out long enough 😁

[@mdaveyphoto]

Make this guy famous. What a pleasure hearing his knowledge and stories.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Would love to hear some more of him indeed 🤓

[@matthiash3136]

What a great day we had in Amsterdam love visiting space oddity jef is truly a awsome guy man o man that great garloo was the bees knees 😂😂😂

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

😎 great it was you DK snatcher

[@deaner6371]

Canadian dutchie here. That, is an AMAZING shop and story Jeff! Thank you Ed for bringing me along! I would have been there for days

[@rennievidjagameman2000]

This was a really fun day! There is so much knowledge in this shop because he was into toy collecting in the mid 80’s!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Decades of collecting 😎

[@earthwormsally5211]

I thought Ed was gonna shed tears of happiness when he got to hold garloo bless him 😂

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

😄 it was the greatest moment

[@XJMX]

Arkangel! We used to come over from the UK to see them and Length of Time in the late 90's/early 2000's!

[@romskip8876]

Have lovely memories of visiting space oddity back in 2011! Those boxes with random unsorted parts are just pure gold! Great video, love to see Matti having so much fun. Completely understand Jef's point on having boxes only for display. Boxed stuff is a nightmare to come by for shops like ours these days.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Epic dude 🤘

[@shauno5888]

That Ghost Rider line was awesome. I only ever had Ghost Rider and Blackout, but I loved the glow in the dark details and I always wanted Vengeance.

[@FrenkyBgood]

I've visited A Space Oddity a lot of times and in the past Jef's dad was replacing him and he gave me a nice discount. Lovely people, nice store!

[@TAKTAK_Toys]

I remember I went to A Space Oddity in September 2019 and it was an absolutely great store! It looks even better now! I’ve been to Amsterdam 13 times and I also want to visit the Toy Boys

[@CountsCuriousCurios]

Space Oddity is an amazing shop. First saw it on TSOT. Love the Argentinian alien amphibians. Sweet horror toy grabs as well. Thanks.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks buddy 😁

[@pierresmee4769]

i have been following your videos from South Africa..(think i found you through a random Pixel Dan video).. and i love all the Attic Invaders! i am not a collector, but i am of that 'vintage' toy age...haha.. Ed, you seem like such a genuine beautiful human.. and this is also another great journey into corners.. all the best to you guys

[@keepitmintinmind]

You guys are having so much fun! All smiles 😊 Cool to see you interact with the iconic Jeff and his store.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

😎 aw yeah

[@ThisDadFlips]

Fantastic episode. The dude was so humble and his story is amazing. He was giving a history lesson throughout and you could just see how much he loves his job.

[@mightymike4517]

great store. I used to come here very often when I worked nearby. Now I always go there when I'm in Amsterdam. so glad that these types of stores still exist in Amsterdam at a time when there are only the same standard stores everywhere.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

For sure an oddity and a blessing this still exists 🤓

[@kingparkamonkey7581]

I went to space oddity last week as holidaying in Amsterdam. Great shop, great owner.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

It really is!

[@TheAllemachtig]

Great shop, me and a friend used to visit it since 1999 or so when we were into toys.

[@tombeckcollect...]

It's always a lot of fun to watch you. Toys are not my collecting area, but your videos are pure entertainment. That's how I feel when I find something for my Philips video game "Videopac" from the 80s. I can understand that. Keep up the good work and have fun collecting.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Ah the videopac, a system we bump into a few times a year. Did you grow up with the system? 🤓 Thanks so much for watching 🙏

[@tombeckcollect...]

@@EdsRetroGeekOut Yes, I got it for Christmas in the early 80's and never sold any of it and am still collecting now at 54 years old. In America it's called Odyssey2 and in Brazil it's called Odyssey. In Europe, it was also distributed by Radiola, Schneider and Siera. In addition, in France there was the identical Jopac system from Brandt and Continental Edison SABA. A small video game that is an extensive collection area, which I have recently started showing here. When I look at my collection, it's like a time machine back to the beautiful simple time.

[@TheRetroWorld]

my bro and I were just talking about that vintage donkey kong line! I have that same figure and love it!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Sweet 😁

[@F13fan]

Another cool ep! Great shop! And DK Country is one of my all time favorites game franchises! I still listen to Aquatic Ambience(water level music) all the time!

[@Bonni_SD]

Oh Wow. Time for a Trip to Amsterdam. So many Robots. Thx for this Video Ed

[@RadRetro]

Oh wow, those Neverending Story toys at 21:19 are super rare!!!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

I know 😅 crazy to see em pop up here

[@ScottCrusher]

Love seeing you three on the hunt together! Very cool to get some some insight into the story behind A Space Oddity!🤙

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

More to come!

[@rogertrump1026]

No jokes thanks for these videos and keep them coming. They are always great to look forward to after a crappy day at work. Always cheers me up especially love the commradery between the three of yall.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks so much buddy 🙏

[@snukastyle]

Ed, you mentioning the Secret Wars line reminded me of something I saw in a local thrift shop. There was some kind of Secret wars branded activity set-I'd never seen it before, but the packaging was also really yellowed. I'll have to take another peak at the shop the next chance I get!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

There’s some fun merchandising for it 😏

[@darkwolf5531]

Super Cool Time and LOTS of Treasures

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Treasures a plenty 😁

[@kaassoufflex9023]

I love this store. I used to pick up a lot of vintage MoC masters of the universe there back before it was easy(er) getting them online.

[@infoxicatingcoffeebreak6300]

Amazing store. I'm already planning a trip to Amsterdam. As usual you sparked my desire for going on another hunt. Thank you for the great video.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

😎🤘 i hope you have an awesome time there, what would you pick up at the shop?

[@infoxicatingcoffeebreak6300]

Thanks, man. This Bravestarr Sandstorm figure looked really nice. Also I think I saw some M.A.S.K.! And Turtles of course. I always pick up Turtles. 🐢

[@t2p]

Got a bunch of stickers from here during one stoney visit to the dam 😂❤

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

🤣🤣🤣

[@deversftw1160]

Im so jealous of one of your guys cases of mighty max, amazing

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Matti had some mighty max goodness for sure

[@comix1017]

That was an awesome shop!! I've only been to Amsterdam once for only a day, definitely not enough time to see much, but I'd love to visit there again someday, it's a beautiful place

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

It is! & when you go next time for sure go visit the shop

[@earthwormsally5211]

I may have to check ebay for one of those community papers , it reminds me of the classic UK staple of the ARGOS catalogue, circling what i wanted for Xmas in the 80s 😊

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Aw yeaah 🤘

[@RetroHunterAndCommissions]

Great video ed. I'll have to make a trip to Amsterdam and visit that store.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Always a good stop when you’re there 🤘

[@rorydeblake6433]

I think I seen this store in one other video. What an awesome place

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Toyshop on tour went there as well 🤘

[@theslimjames]

Here for that vintage Forearm Xmen figure when you first go in. It's the one carded Toy Biz fig I have in my basement. Love the ridiculousness and the $ per arm is unreal!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

🤣

[@MasterSplinter79]

Jef is a great guy, been there a lot of times! Game Over? Is where a buddy of mine works! The store in Haarlem is also a great place to search for toys!!! Great video like always!!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks buddy 🤘

[@MYHIVES12]

I’m going to Europe for spring break and one of the places I’m going to is Amsterdam. I’m excited to check this store out

Amazing Episode, very very nioce to share this with us, Thumbs up Eddy👍😊

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@rockman7503]

We played with the great garloo at my grandma's house for years. Those horrible noises take me back. He always sounded like he was on the verge of squeeling mechanical failure, but that toy was a stone.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

It was superloud 🤣

[@RadRetro]

Man, to be able to visit that store in the late 90's and buy at late 90's prices.... that would be the dream! Such history there!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

He had some crazy inventory looking back now 😁

[@gregorychiasson7739]

Probably one of my favorite shops yet that place was great! I love the history and stories he shared…

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

We loved hearing about all the early days of the shop 😁

[@80sToysRoc]

Nice haul Ed!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

First time viewer. What a great shop and nice owner. You got a free bandai turtles catalog. When I Saw the outside of this Dutch toy shop and the area.... Reminded me of _Timothy Dalton movie_ *hawks* when Dalton goes to the Netherlands Whilst being terminally ill. Happy new year/ 2024 everyone.

[@Steve_Vendetta]

ED, did you spend considerable time living in either Canada or the U.S. during your youth? The reason I ask is your accent is very smooth and flat - essentially Americanized, without any hint of goofy-sounding inflection that could have been learned from a *British* English teacher. Am I correct in assuming that English is not your first language?

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Spent a couple summers over at my aunt in Canade when I was growing up. So picked up english there but never lived there

[@Steve_Vendetta]

@@EdsRetroGeekOut Yes, that's what I thought. Even though you didn't reside in Canada "full time" over several years, you still developed an exceptional command of English (with North American accentuation). During your vacations, you must have really immersed yourself in the local culture and absorbed many of the influences around you. I'm impressed! Do you still visit your Aunt? I, too, am Canadian; I happen to live in Toronto.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

@@Steve_Vendetta I always went to montreal quebeq to day camp during the week so it was either speak english or not have anything to do 🤣

I happened to be in game over recently and it's really not what it used to be. had 6 gameboy color and advance games in box. These were not special games (Aladdin Tarzan ect) and asked what they would give for them. after 10 minutes one of those guests said €5 or €6 credit. what scammers.
