[@retrorick]

oh dang..i totally missed it!

[@babecat2000]

I use to play on neopets also and was looking for another person who played it.

[@roserocks1979]

E.T. was the first movie I saw at the theater.I was 3 and a half.I cried,and cried.

[@retrorick]

ha thats amazing! I love that movie so much

[@GrindWeCrust]

That lunch box under the My Little Pony one was from a 80s cartoon called Rose Petal Place .

[@retrorick]

Oh dang I totally missed it!

[@retrorick]

Thanks for the heads up Mark

[@Dorelaxen]

Those Spock and Happy Days figures were Megos! New production stuff from the son of the guy that originally started the Mego company. They were MASSIVELY popular in the 70's, and were the gold standard for action figures through to the early 80's. I love the chintzy, cheesy aesthetic of them.

[@dkflips]

That hylian shield lunch bag was cool. A good pickup for $6. Sells on eBay for $30-40

[@retrorick]

oh dang..i didnt even think to look it up! This place had some great prices

[@elvisthegamecollector7053]

I was wondering why you didn't pick the zelda lunchbox too...

[@Jedwards50187]

That Delorean is from a current run from Jada toys. There's some from each movie, including some minis. I have a larger one that lights up when u press Mr fusion and the wheels fold. Walmart, Target, Meijer

[@retrorick]

nice! I just knew i didnt have..which meant, i needed it haha

[@beachmum4758]

Great Scott!

[@jasonshouseoffunandvideoga7169]

That ET nightlight, is awesome. The fact that you got it, in box is wild. I haven't seen those in a long time. Never saw one at the thrift but I remember seeing them in stores when I was very young. 👊

[@retrorick]

i know right...to find it boxed is what sets it off

[@Henry-fx2vp]

A Retro Rick those Garfield glasses are so plentiful because one year in the late 80s Hardee’s gave them away on Halloween night nationwide… My dad remembers getting them then…

Getting away from the reselling videos is such a good direction for the channel. Thanks for these videos and your passion for things of my childhood, always brings back memories of a time long ago.

[@tonytheriault1186]

As a Spider-Man fan, I actually liked that comic book cover with Mary Jane on it. The whole ‘reflection off the sunglasses’ trick makes for a great cover. I need to track that one down myself.

[@retrorick]

Some of the coolest covers on these old marvel comics!

[@retrorick]

Thanks for watching Tony!

[@philipnapier3382]

I noticed that one too. I liked the artwork on that issue

There's a couple now on ebay and it is apparently a very good issue as the story goes. Also not too expensive so that's cool.

[@jetman80pops]

I was 7 when E.T. came out and I can tell you there wasn't a ton of merchandise out to support the movie. I remember going to Child World and Kiddie City with my parents looking for E.T. toys and only seeing a few things.

[@retrorick]

oh wow...crazy to see how much merch there is for it now!

[@HUNT3R737]

Congrats on the ET lamp. That Camel light was pretty dope too

You got a great deal on the Night Light. It sells for 80 dollars.

[@DannyC723]

I’m jealous Rick I love that ET I think that was totally a reasonable price. Kids will never understand how good toys were made in the 80s and 90s. That my pet alien looked pretty cool too. I use to have my pet monster don’t know what ever happened to it

[@retrorick]

oh for sure...looks like the go for around 90-100!

[@tangomoggynoengi8518]

Lost in the mists of time... like so many of our beloved toys...! I guess that's why there are so many of us collecting memorabilia in different shapes and. Forms...

[@DannyC723]

That’s pretty reasonable considering $90-$100 thanks for update RickYou have some great shops, flea markets where you are Rick. We get some in Brooklyn and not too many thrift stores. I do have to say that all your hunts are awesome especially the hunt you did with chuck was pretty awesome with that storage lot. I still think as much as I like Sony PlayStation, Dreamcast was ahead of it’s time. Their memory card was awesome because when you played football games you pick the plays no one knows what you picked and you can play mini games on it. Dreamcast controls definitely better than N64. They did have a lot of other awesome games to. What’s your take Rick??

[@DannyC723]

I saw one pet monster going $500
