I met Tim from Grand Illusions.

[@Wetkeazle]

I love Tim! He's like the weird uncle I never had.

[@juicydangla]

But Im your real uncle, why do you disown me so quickly?

Heh.

[@user-zk1ic1gb5i]

was kinda expecting tim to pull his water of the Nile bit

[@WeirdSide]

Oh yes that would have made some great footage! It was such a blast going over there - I actually got to play with a lot of the toys which introduced me to Tim's videos when I first found them a few years ago. It was an amazing experience!

[@WeirdSide]

Like the holographic galloping horse in the intro - that was something I specifically wanted to see when I got there!

I don't think the meme was that popular at the time.

came upon this as weirdside said it about the toilet paper roll

[@Nasmr1]

This is hilarious, watching ol' Timmy run around fetching things, with items falling off the shelves doing so. He looks like the mad scientist character from films Also amazing how he remembers all the functions of thousands of toys

[@WeirdSide]

Oh when we got the footage of him knocking things over I was so happy. I could have cut it during the editing process, but I felt like it needed to be seen!

[@RatWithAPlan]

Extraordinary!

[@donaloflynn]

I wonder does he keep any notes in the cases along with the toys?

[@johnsmith7303]

I think a lot of people like him because it's just such a very clean show. Even as someone who loves to involve myself in politics, it's such a nice break to watch something so clean, proper, and uncontroversial. There's nothing negative and everything is described from a perspective of wonderment. It's just so different from the polarization we constantly see around the world and particularly on many, many KZbin channels.

Big up to whoever did the subtitles. I'm only 29 and I'm starting to go deaf and I can't watch anything on KZbin or on TV without having them on, otherwise I'll have no idea what is going on or being said unless I have the volume high. Its so upsetting when there's a video I want to watch but it doesn't have any subtitles, same with movies. I can't watch them at night if they don't have any because I don't want to upset my neighbours or my fiancee.

Cool video, I've been a fan of Tim's channel since I found it randomly, the fact he actually plays with his toys and doesn't just have them sit in some plastic container on a shelf and the sense of history as he talks about buying them 30+ years ago.

[@jime386]

I'm going to sub your channel simply because of this video. Tim's channel is one of (If not THE) best channels on Utube. If I have any complaint about Grand Illusions, it's that there aren't enough uploads. :)

Those Japanese books are beautiful! And Tim did say in one bathroom/toilet paper novelty episode he kept that bike man in his bathroom. I didn't doubt that for a minute.
