Are modern toys trash?

[@sva3897]

Yeah love this kin low priced toys. In discount shops I often need to stop myself buying stuff like this. Great to (re)use their electronic parts or go Kitbashing with them.. Seeing these vehicles makes me want to go and make custom GiJoe vehicles!

[@Retrotoyguysi]

@@sva3897 I know what you mean, I keep on seeing more of this range in the shops and they are so ridiculously cheap that it’s hard not to buy more 😅 Thanks for watching 👍😀

[@manofaction1807]

That set is ChapMei. Figures, color, vehicle all scream it.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

@@manofaction1807 yeah, I just Googled it and I think you are right, it’s weird I couldn’t find anything on the box. Thanks for watching and the informative comment 👍😀

[@AllThings80s]

While not aimed at someone like me, you will never find better value for money than this.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

@@AllThings80s I normally wouldn’t bother with these either but for the price I couldn’t resist and I know I can always pass it on to my nephew. This was purely bought in the name of content creation 😁 Thanks for watching Dean 👍😀

These do remind me of the cheap knock-off toys I had at my Granny's house. Lanard and Remco type stuff. I've seen them in the store and considered them for that reason. Not great, but probably still fun to have.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

@@ShadeofJeremy to be fair, for the price, well worth picking up. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍😀

[@georgecookus2791]

Yup. Chap Mei, in the U.S. they are dollar store toys. I have a sci-fi inspired mech suit by them. Which I love.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

They are cheap, the figures aren’t fantastic but, there is a lot of play value in them. The sci-fi series sounds cool, I’ve not seen that, we have lots of dinosaur/Jurassic Park type sets here. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍😀

[@Phantasia_Workshop]

Chap Mei's vehicles are usually pretty good, but the figures are crap. They're getting better with the paint apps though

[@Retrotoyguysi]

@@Phantasia_Workshop I was quite impressed by this set, considering the price, a real bargain. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍😀

[@AllBreaksLoose]

While I'll admit the figure ain't that great, there's definitely some potential with custom work on that tank and bunker.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

@@AllBreaksLoose definitely, personally I think that the bunker is probably the best bit of the set, it would mix well with the old school Joes. But overall, for the price for the price I paid it’s a good little set. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍😀

[@jay80hobbies9]

I almost bought something similar to this this lol . I think it was because we had a dry spell in the toy aisle and I just wanted to buy something lol . There are individual I’ve seen who have customized some of these and do a fantastic job . Fantastic sharing amigo ! Keep up the great work !

[@Retrotoyguysi]

@@jay80hobbies9 Thanks Jay 👍😀 How are things going with your roof?

[@jay80hobbies9]

@@Retrotoyguysi they start repairs on the roof this coming week . Inside the house , after the roof is done .

[@Retrotoyguysi]

@ that sounds positive, hopefully the roof will be ready for Christmas. 🙏

[@stephengray8374]

I noticed these in Smyths Toys today. Some of the vehicles are huge and fairly inexpensive. The Helicopter and jet are particularly nice, though the figures seem out of scale. Still, pretty good looking toys for the price. Hope all's well, Si 👍

[@Retrotoyguysi]

@@stephengray8374 You really can’t argue with the price of these toys, makes me wish my boys were into toys but they’ve grown into gaming and Lego…… I’m doing ok thanks mate, should be doing a Live Stream tomorrow with All Things 80s at 15:00hrs if you’re free then and interested in joining the chat. As always, thanks for watching and commenting and enjoy the rest of your weekend mate 👍😀

[@stephengray8374]

@Retrotoyguysi No problem, Si. Good luck with the live stream tomorrow. If I'm not able to watch at the time, I'll definitely catch up with it later. AT8's Argos catalogue videos are great to watch at Christmas!

[@Hurricanelive]

Bunker looks 110% better than Hasbros trash.

[@Retrotoyguysi]

@@Hurricanelive exactly what I thought too, and if you can link them up to other ones, well, how cool is that! Wish I had these as a kid 😀 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍😀
