[@willk-b1g]

Still have 20 of them. Didn’t know they were rare until yesterday

[@mike-024]

Had a couple of these growing up. They were the only non-lego minifigs I thought were actually better than the lego ones! I also loved the stop motions they posted as a kid. Knew they took a downturn when I started to see a few show up at goodwill but had no idea it was to this extent.

[@dudunkz-_-]

bro I used to play with these so much as a kid i remember one time asked for one of these as a birthday gift i woke and while i was eating breakfast my mom gave me one. Thank you for making this video

[@thomascanary6313]

I remember seeing these, but I didn’t know how deep the rabbit hole goes. Loving these weekly uploads, two weeks and counting!

[@EricMoranFilms]

Between you and me I’m gonna be cutting it close this week but for now the streak continues!

[@feircestsquirrel4337]

Im glad a company that wont make a product, sued a company that actually would make it. Hockey is so underrepresented cause its relatively small and they actually made something that was really cool

[@EricMoranFilms]

love the sarcasm here

[@Ç0òlAl3n]

1:33 I went ohh so uhh that’s a face you got there.

[@brunoleal5440]

As an International fan I discovered Oyos when I visited Lucas Oil back in 2019. By the time I wanted to start a collection they were gone from every store and I had no idea why, but now I know why they disappeared so quickly lol.

[@EricMoranFilms]

Thanks for sharing your experience and watching! By 2019 I think I was already out on them. Really a bummer what happened but they had like an 8 year run which is no easy feat.

[@madred_versustheworld]

@@EricMoranFilms 8 year run...which is no easy feet :-)

[@jimtokarz726]

Huge fan and collector. I currently have over 1000 figures and I’d like to think one of the better collections amassed. I pulled the production sheets off their website before they shut down and most of my figures are low produced. Anywhere from >25, >50, >100 up to >1000.

[@seanalailima5929]

I only have a few.

[@mark250]

The Lego basketball sets were so cool, used to spend hours playing it

[@EricMoranFilms]

interesting, thanks for watching! I appreciate your support!

[@maxsteigauf8179]

Lego really I think was punching down. They didn't sue mega blox, brxlz, and others I just think its terrible because now now one is going to jump to this product idea

[@EricMoranFilms]

Yeah I’d have to look into why those other brands haven’t had any trouble. Maybe a topic for a future video. Thanks for watching!

[@bulldozernolan]

good vid

[@EricMoranFilms]

Thank you!

[@patrickkawa6350]

The lego nba was actually fun, i had it

[@EricMoranFilms]

I think I had hand me downs. I don't remember ever actually owning the sets. I think I got some from a yard sale and was confused by the legs.

[@xavier_tyrese8600]

my mother got me into playing footbal to get a OYO Odel Beckham Jr figure, BTW SHE NEVER GOT ME HIM super pixxed

[@xavier_tyrese8600]

i was the fastest on the team for the two years i waz playing, played as a linemen bec my memory was terrible (at the time) and i waz too honest so the coaches never tried coaching me on CATCHING, so it waz a gag the entire time i waz at the school

[@vintageresalemama903]

I had no idea there were OYO stop motion videos. They're so cute!

[@Grizzliegaming1]

I loved football at 7 and still do at 13 and I remember going to the asu campus with my aunt copping Brock Osweiler

[@EricMoranFilms]

Nice! Thanks for watching!

[@max00xproductions]
