What a day!! The Welsh voice over is outstanding!!!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Amazing what you can do with AI these days! Dude thank you so much for all the drives that day it was so great getting to hang with you. Did you see anything in the vid you didn’t see while at the shop?

[@andystoysandmodels9582]

I actually forgot to go and pick up the mini figures I wanted 😂 Ah well looks like I will plan another visit before the end of the year!!

that cow figure at 13:48 is Crossbows and Catapults (1984) Minotaur

[@NowUndefined]

Thank you!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

From the board game! Oh dude that’s awesome, 🤘😁

[@dazejason]

​@@EdsRetroGeekOut and based on the prices I see it listed at, it's a steal at 8 quid!

@dazejason that’s what makes these so fun to do. I discover new things constantly and learn about them but had no clue on the pricing for it. 🤓 next time i’ll try to buy it 😁

I’m from the US I enjoy your videos, the different stores & toy shows, the toy variants, but the best part is the shared knowledge & pure joy of it all thanks keep them coming

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks so much 😁 how are they different from the us stores?

[@joerodriguez4144]

@@EdsRetroGeekOut Where I live there isn’t many retro toy stores, & they don’t have that great of a selection of old vintage collectible items it really hard to get certain gems unless I order online from somewhere else. So I enjoy watching your videos, it’s like I’m on the hunt with you & your fellow toy hunters 😁

Ed your channel just awesome mate fantastic

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thank you so much 🙏 what do you want see in the next one?

[@ScottCrusher]

So many toys, so little time! I'm a big fan of Crash Dummies, so it was cool to see those boxed vehicles and the Junkyard playset. I'd never seen that Big Frank before, that's sweet!!

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Aw yeah big frank is up on the list now

[@JYDMAZDA]

Ed, the "cow" in the back at 13:50 is the Minotaur from Crossbows and Catapults game. It was like an expansion thing. You put the projectile in between his horns and then it flings it....normally pretty expensive.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

That’s epic 😅 i wish I had picked it up

[@Empiretoys1138]

Look at all the fun i missed. Glad you had a great time!

[@matthiash3136]

Nerdbase & retrohunter shops where amazing great prices and awsome staff I found some great pieces for my gamesroom we definitely need to go back

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Are ya thirsty for more? We need to go back asap for out games rooms! Big suitcases for everyone 😁🤘

[@F13fan]

I love seeing buddies on toy hunts! I miss those days! I still collect but not so much vintage anymore(but still love it and own a lot) so I order online. Glad everyone is finding stuff. I like seeing Mighty Matty in the vids and Andy’s happy face at the end 😂

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

I think this was one of the best weekends filled with hangs 😁

[@theyalwayscomeinfall]

Watching these makes me realize how much random stuff I had as a kid. We didn't have a lot of money, but my mom was HUGE into yard and garage sales. So, I ended up with a ton of toys that I got simply because she or I liked the way they looked. Probably 75% of the toys I had, I didnt know what toy line or TV show/movie they even came from. So watching these is cool because I often find out a little history to some random figure I had.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Thanks so much for watching 🙏

[@chrishempstock2427]

I don’t know if anyone’s said it but the bull is from a board game called crossbows and catapults. I’ve got it somewhere it’s arms are meant to move up and down I think. The one I have doesn’t anymore

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Epic 😁🙏 thanks for letting me know

[@mrdanplastic]

Love it, mate. Do i spy a sexy welshman voiceover too? I had to rewind it, took me by surprise. 😂

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

I felt like we needed a native guide for these vids, a moral compas for the viewer, what does welch mean?

[@skumbagstudios666]

The mighty max mail away brings back memories. As a kid I got that one and the Droid invader by saving the tokens on the back of Kellogg’s Coco pop’s cereal boxes. I think you could choose between Mighty Max and Polly Pocket

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

Sweet we’ve been trying to figure it out and bumped onto those. They had a couple of mail away promotions. So very cool to see it there with the shipper.

[@alexhickenbottom2820]

The Joker van is from Ertl, I’m surprised to see that in the UK. They made farm toys mainly but jumped on the Batman ‘89 band wagon when the movie came out, no one else was doing it. I had the smaller version as a kid.

[@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784]

Was at Nerdbase only on 7th Oct and wondered why it was a little empty on the good stuff that day, picked through that same box of mini figures Andy did. Yes that lighting in the game area needs improving, i have to use my phones light as a torch when going through it. Not had any luck haggling on vintage prices there though, prices seem fixed. Seems a influx in Toxic Crusaders, Bucky O'Hare being traded in since the reissues announced. Fortress Of Fangs is rare, Nerdbase only got that in around Aug, never seen another there.

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

I never assume you can haggle in a brick and morter vintage store 😅 they really do needs an extra light in that game corner 🤓

[@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784]

@@EdsRetroGeekOut Id normally agree on the haggle rule in retail stores, however these are second hand items with no RRP where condition / completeness dictates value and are subject to massive price fluctuations / demand changes on eBay.

2 excellent stores I'd love to visit them both I did see some bill and ted figures I'd love to get .

That line is growing on me, just like police academy these had some great sculpts 😁 did you own any back in the day?

Wow, those were two awesome stores! That JP Compound in box looked good, I would have grabbed that. Nice to see some Batman TAS also :)

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

The first store has the top floor dedicated to marvel and dc superheroes with some power rangers and retro games thrown in. Dude I loved seeing that one boxed the JP compound 😎

[@Jedi_Daniel]

I've never seen the JP Compound in person loose let alone boxed. Very lucky mate :)

[@EdsRetroGeekOut]

@Jedi_Daniel i was fortunate to find one at a flea market years ago without the box 🤓 for sure a great set that you could recreate a lot of the movie scenes with. But you’re right you really don’t see it that often. The mobile center playset from the lost world movie is even more uncommon.

[@Jedi_Daniel]

​@@EdsRetroGeekOutThe Mobile Command Centre is one I would really love in my collection. Likewise with the Compound, never seen it loose or boxed in the wild. Alot of TLW just never made it to Australia unfortunately.
