Hi, I'm VTR Dave. A Brit on a mission to curate a high-quality and diverse collection of vintage toys, known as the VT aRchive.
A homage to the iconic toys of the 70s & 80s to be shared with as many enthusiasts as possible, right here on this channel. And who knows, perhaps in the future, on display in a public space like a museum. Now, wouldn't that be something!
Subscribe to stay updated as I search for vintage toys, lovingly restore them, delve into their history, and piece by piece, construct the VT aRchive.
As always, thanks goes out to everyone who supports the channel. Every view, like & comment is appreciated.
Stay safe & cheers!

It's really remarkable that we now get something as adults that we would have wanted and loved as children. And it is precisely this thought that defines us as collectors. The memory of a wonderful childhood, which we always remember through the our toys. I like your videos! THANK YOU, Greetings from Germany!

[@VintageToyRush]

Ah thanks Marc and greetings!! 🤘 Although I focus on collecting vintage, I really do admire those that are brave enough to create new items for collectors, especially those that tie nicely back to vintage. That's why I have the 'Fan Made' playlist in an attempt to support them 👍

[@SHABBYGEEK22]

Yeah our Dave. Lee did a fantastic job on this Action Force playset. It's gonna look great on display in your toy room!

[@VintageToyRush]

Lee did a right good job!! Perfectly suits the vintage figures, just need to find some shelf space 🤣

[@sva3897]

What a lovely lovely creation by Paleetoy. Have been following his work for a while, seen several of his Star Wars playsets. I like they way they 'blend in' with the classic toylines. Simple materials, but such an original 'vintage' looking playset design. Inspiring!

[@VintageToyRush]

Exactly, it could be so easy to stray from the vintage vibe, but this set works perfectly with the original figures! Hopefully, Lee can release many of the sets he's prototyped for Star Wars 👍

[@Retrotoyguysi]

Very nice, it actually makes me very nostalgic for a 1980'S Christmas, it reminds me of the type of gift I would get from my grandparents. I had the cardboard Action Force playset back in the day, it was awesome.

[@VintageToyRush]

Definitely has a Christmas vibe, you're right, the kind of present you'd receive from a relative!! 👍 And wow, the HQ must have been magic as a kid! 🤘

[@marklaurenzi1609]

Those SW playsets looked amazing! These sets are brilliant!

[@VintageToyRush]

Yeah, the Jabba set caught my eye! Really hoping Lee succeeds in this venture and we'll see plenty of them released! 👍

[@BlackArroToons]

That set pieced together nicely, good assembling here and set up of the figures!

[@VintageToyRush]

Certainly enhances the display!! 👍

[@TheRetroTinker]

Awesome playset. The colours are so striking!

[@VintageToyRush]

Yeah, Lee's done a great job on this one. The Star Wars sets are looking good too! 👍

[@ScottCrusher]

Very cool Dave, I love the classic style. The vintage figures look right at home in the set. When compared to yours, my sticker application on my childhood toys in the 80s and 90s leaves a lot to be desired😂

[@VintageToyRush]

Ha ha!! Funny how we didn't care about sticker application as kids!! 😎 But yeah, the set looks great and perfectly suits the figures 👍

[@geekstrong1]

Looks incredible 💪🤓

[@VintageToyRush]

Yeah, Lee done a great job on this play set!! 💪 👌🤘

[@jeff72_]

That's a lovely set Dave and is ideal for a diorama or display.

[@VintageToyRush]

Yeah Jeff! Ideal for sprucing up your figure displays 👍

[@NICKSTOYBARN]

That’s awesome.. 👍😎👍

[@VintageToyRush]

Yeah Nick! In person, loaded with the figures, it does look striking 👍

[@dominicpaul1]

That looks phenomenal 💥

[@VintageToyRush]

Certainly does 👍 Lee has done a great job on this!

[@keeponcollecting]

Beautiful custom playset! I have to admit I went to their site to look at what they had, sadly the price point + shipping to Australia was out of this world. Happy to watch your review of it Dave. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the vid with us 😃👍

[@VintageToyRush]

G'day Matt! 🤘 Yeah, the price point is the only downside. I really hope Lee can make a real success of Paleetoys as that will drive the price down. Right now, of course it's a custom, very limited run with one person working hard to keep it all together! 👍 It does look good though and perfectly suits the vintage figures!!

[@gapafterdark2034]

Nice

[@dezt5108]

A fantastic set VTR and well reviewed. Not to do Lee a disservice, but they are nice simple sets (as they should be, considering there a nod to the original sets) but wonderfully thought out

[@VintageToyRush]

Yeah, I think if the sets were any more sophisticated they would lose there charm and would look out of place with the figures 👍

[@haroldellis9721]

Well, there's 85 pounds plus shipping gone. 😍

[@VintageToyRush]

Yes, it's expensive, but they have to start somewhere. This a custom, a very limited run and a lot of time and effort has gone into it. I hope as Paleetoys grows the price can come down 👍

[@geekstrong1]

💪😎

[@VintageToyRush]

💪 👌🤘

[@ReynoldsReviews]

Wow looks really striking Dave! Especially once populated , don’t make me want the red shadows!!!! 😂🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️🤦‍♂️ lol

[@marklaurenzi1609]

Are you afraid you are getting hooked into a new line?

[@user-fr9rk8ez3h]

Cheers for that pal. Great review, appreciate it

[@VintageToyRush]

Red Shadows, Red Shadows, Red Shadows... 🤣

[@VintageToyRush]

It does look good but I do think the price needs to come down, although I appreciate why it is that to start with 🤘

[@VintageToyRush]

Love it!! Always want to support people like yourself who have the bravery to start a venture like this. I hope Paleetoys grows and grows 👍

[@mickmerr]

I would snap this up, but not at that price.... it looks great but too much for what it is IMO. Nice video , keep up the great work

[@VintageToyRush]

No doubt this is a great play set but I agree the one downside is the price. However, this a custom, a very limited run and a lot of time and effort has gone into it. I hope as Paleetoys grows the price can come down 👍

[@unknownriddler8544]

What is the price in American money?

[@VintageToyRush]

Well, based on exchange rate it's over $100 plus postage - best is to contact Lee on his paleetoys.com website 👍
