8:58 Long Range Thunderclap driver. Also, Cold Front actually having his mic is pretty rare. Great haul!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks buddy

[@saltytbone]

When I was a kid I hated the wild colors of newer GI Joes but 30 years later I love them.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Fun to see the sculpts in different colors 😁

[@ArchangelKalEl7828]

Congratulations Ed for hitting the GI Joe Figures Jackpot! Totally Fantastic Vintage Toys haul worth keeping for your Mancave Collection!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks! Will do!

[@ArchangelKalEl7828]

@@EdsRetroGeekOut The Pleasure is yours friend!

[@seanworsfold4496]

I’ve found sorting by color works well. Most of the time all the missiles or weapons for a given vehicle or figure are the same color. It can get tricky though with shades of gray.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Gray and black guns are a mess with the little details I pop those on the floor by size all facing the same direction 🤓

[@seanseamands]

This is an amazing score! So much of my childhood was filled with most of those Joe's at some point. I live in a tiny town in California where noone has things like this they want to get rid of..it's all old glass cups and rusty "antique" tools.

[@CosmicComicHistory]

That's a heck of a haul! Great find. Enjoy them. When Ed says "that's neat" it's so wholesome and sweet.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks dude 🤓

[@residentvania7733]

Sweet lot of Joes. My favorites in the Lot Range and Night vipers. Always loved those.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Viper army 😎🤘

[@residentvania7733]

@@EdsRetroGeekOut Hellyeah!!! Add in the Alley and Techno vipers....Juice 2 the max

[@frogpond119]

4 steel brigades and 2 payloads....good pickup

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

I tought so too, for a belgian lot there ain’t any tiger force in there but some parts for a uk/euro spirit 🤓 always fun to see those for trading

[@brianbuchmeier]

Keel-Haul came with the USS Flagg, so not a mail-away but still a pricey figure (especially with the gun).

[@Colonel_Chrome]

He was a mail-away figure in Belgium, according to one GI Joe KZbinr.

[@brianbuchmeier]

Ah, that makes sense. I should've thought about there being differences in the European market. @@Colonel_Chrome

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

With how many we see here he sure was a mail away I don’t think there’s that many us flags in europe 😅

[@closetstarwarsfreak]

Dude you scored with the Keels. He came with the Flag ship. That is hard to come by. You got 3!!!

[@brendondraper]

Think Keel was released on card in uk

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks buddy

[@AlexanderVerstuur]

Keel Haul was a mail away in the UK. Similar to Europe.

[@AlexanderVerstuur]

I guess this collection was from a Belgian collector. So Keel Haul was definitely a mail-in. Awesome haul

[@AlexanderVerstuur]

You do have the weapon(s) of the Steel Brigade in one of the bins. It is the dark grey 1989 Recoil M16/M203

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Yes, a buddy of mine told me too the euro’s have a different weapon which isn’t featured in the mark Bellomo book so now I can go and get those completed 🤓🤘

[@MartinCarterProduction]

What a great haul. so many classic stuff. congrat for it

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks for watching

[@wesleyhendricks2486]

What an amazing collection! Crazy to see the differences on figures in the eu/uk market. It would interesting to get a video just seeing the differences between us and eu figures.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

There’s a couple and also some exclusive weapons and such 🤔

[@jbh8791]

They really need to re-release old GIJoes and The CORPS action figures. Not the ones with soft, plasic joints like last time. Real ones with the metal pins. Multipacks, too. I'd buy the crap out of them like I did as a kid. I really miss em. Best toys ever

[@masterroshi9942]

Whoa awesome GI Joe/Lanard haul that's nice I collected a lot of Lanard the corps figures back in the day to fill up my GI Joe?Cobra armies. They were a lot cheaper lol

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

I remember getting like a 12 pack lanards 😎🤘 for the price of one joe it was an easy choice

[@ScottCrusher]

What a haul! As tedious as it can be, I quite enjoy the process of sorting a bulk lot like this. Some great tips Ed!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

😁 thanks buddy and yeah it’s been long overdue hopefully I can finalize the doubles this weekend

[@MrMountie]

Very cool. Appreciate the inside look at how you organize yourself and get things done.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks and I already got some new tips in the comments so this is working out 😁 next up will be a transformers collection 😅 I know even less about those

[@andyd.1793]

So cool to see so many figures my brother and I had as kids! Joes are some of the most interesting toys ever made, I think. Such fuel for the imagination! Great videos, man.👍😄

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks buddy

[@dean4125]

the gold weapons and gold electronic backpack are for Sonic Viper. i didnt see him in your lot.

[@gordonstreitenberger942]

I collect hoteheels and I usually try to display them by sets or theme

[@wheeljoker]

Nice haul..Keel Haul that is. Kidding, great haul,and it's nice to have a Keel Haul with his sidearm. East piece to lose. I love all the inserts too,awesome to go back through those. That Bellomo guide is a great resource.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Finally one for the collection with the gun 💪

[@williamwright9079]

Oh boy! that book looks like way more fun than digital! Jackpot Boi! Colour coding is genius!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanls buddy 🤓

[@ToyKennections]

Gosh, this was fun!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks😅 I wish I knew more about joe but already learned some new stuff through the comments section and people reaching out 🙏

[@badasschile01]

for part and pieces of GI JOE ARAH, the best fisical source is the Guide of Mark Bellomo. and in the digital format 3D joes.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks buddy

Sucks you can't make it to retroplalooza this coming weekend. Was looking forward to meeting you and I have some free stuff to give you. Just have to wait till you can make it back to the USA again. Till then keep the videos coming.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

I know, i couldn’t get days off from work 🥲 it’s like a 4 day trip coming out of europe

[@keeponcollecting]

❤ This was excellent Ed. Andrew is collecting GI Joe too, so the book and the figs and vehicles were fascinating 👍He loves the sorting and could name a few. Do you think u will ever own a USS Flagg vehicle Ed? 😮

[@vinnyvinson]

That book/websites are rad. I’ve got a huge lot of weapons I’m trying to id. Thanks for the tips

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks for watching 🤓 some weapons might be easy to id with google lens but some of the black and grey guns are too similar for the lens to pick it up.

[@ZOMb2010]

AWESOME ED....I LOV Joes now ... such a interesting toy line . Really like the NON Toy item's... diggin it ..

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

You and me both!

What type of book you use that’s in your video of yours

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

The mark bellomo book on gijoe

[@ottenoje]

Nice new video and interesting content! If everything goes as planned, I will also be attending the Vintage Toys of The Universe in Belgium. It’s the first time I will be trying to hook up my fellow collectors with some nice deals and hopefully make some room for other amazing toys. 
If you have any more tips or tricks, I would love to hear them!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Be sure everything has a price on it that’s visible a lot of people assume and move on. It will open the conversation to buying, if you wanna move products off course 🤓

[@ottenoje]

Good point! I guess I have a lot of work cut out for me! :-)

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

@ottenoje me too still gotta price a couple boxes 🤣

[@dannycarrion8160]

What u doing with them extra super troopers n steel brigades

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Steel brigades i’m army building but super troopers I don’t feel that attached to will probably bring a couple to Vintage Toys Of The Universe on the 23rd of September in Belgium.

[@Jedi_Daniel]

I never got into GI Joe but awesome haul nonetheless. Nice work. Do you know if there are books for TMNT and Batman Animated Series that I could use in the same way?

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Not yet I think 🥲

[@juliusmaloney]

I think Pixel Dan (KZbinr) is putting together a TMNT version of his MOTU book he put out a couple of years ago. 🐢
