Jackpot 1980's Toys haul! Look what I found today!

[@kathytappero7179]

Love that these things find their way to Alex and go forward to be appreciated again.

[@grangranzulaski1084]

Looks like a fun day with toys and memories!!

[@kevinhouse7143]

When I hear GI Joe I think of the 70's large articulated action figures that I had with the crewcut fuzzy hair and beards and the pull string voice recorded messages. Now those were GI Joes. ;-)

[@AsphaltMan11]

Tell me you gave some of them a scar on their cheek, or am I the only one ? lol

[@FormerMPSGT]

@@AsphaltMan11A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR THE LADIES EH! (From a Comedy I watched I believe Terry Thomas or Peter Sellers!)

[@kevinhouse7143]

@@AsphaltMan11 No, but that would have been a good idea.

[@primordial_platypus]

Mine didn’t have the fuzzy hair, just molded plastic but yeah when he said old GI Joes I immediately thought of the larger ones. The go to accessory was the Navy deep diver setup. I still have some somewhere in the footlocker but all well played with and disorganized and many pieces missing through the years.

[@SeaweavesTLC]

Like the sort of Barbie sized dude, right?

[@cajsheen2594]

Even if you'd lost on this deal, I bet you'd still have got great pleasure just from sorting through it all! We certainly enjoyed watching! ❤ XXX

[@joellenmeek658]

You are having so much fun! Love it.

[@pattya1679]

I love when you make a good profit on your finds. It's like watching you treasure hunt. Knowing what you have and what they are worth is key. Good job!

[@LindaSesker]

Star Wars stuff reminded me of my son’s childhood. If only we had saved that stuff, of course we didn’t. Glad you had a good haul.❤

[@berthagreen1620]

It’s so much fun to see the young Alex coming out when it’s boy toys. Great find again.

[@secondchairmm]

What a ton of fun for $300! Great score! Any day I find a Gremlin is a good day!

[@amandataub842]

Thank you for this wonderful trip down memory lane. I remember the GI Joe figures and the Transformers.

[@catzrule5973]

I loved the LOL moment when you had the action figures talking to each other! Please don't grow up and lose your sense of pure joy and fun. ROFLOL 😂🤣😂❤🖤💚

[@l.mcallan7440]

You have the greatest of jobs! Some days it’s toys and other days antiques or nifty cars!❤️🇨🇦

[@traceylb9829]

Love the 'what are you wearing' commentary LOL

[@scottstewart3884]

Don't forget, most of the vehicles came with figures as well. like the one you're holding at 14:38 goes with the vehicle you pick up at 11:58/11:59, And the Figure at 16:28 wearing the orange life vest goes with the Hovercraft.

[@Emmuzka]

I LOVED that G.IJoe dude with the bright green gear and blond hair. (at 7:00) His code name was Psyche-Out and he was Deceptive Warfare guy, meaning that he did the scouting. Now I have an awful urge to find one for myself as a Christmas present!

[@marilynmurray3041]

Great finds! So glad you take the time to match, fix and price check. It’s so interesting.

[@joanneriley3899]

Not gonna lie Alex, after you had opened those boxes, all I saw was a box of broken little plastic pieces, and large toys with lots missing. And a few plastic cars. My first thought were “what a waste of 300 bucks” but…… As usual, you proved me wrong lol. It’s a good job you love playing with and fixing toys 😁

[@FroggyFlips]

Wowza! Super fun lot and well worth the gamble!

[@DuncanMunro-t7c]

Pretty cool that you watch curiosity too Froggie! I'm here right after watching your latest video!

[@RajDigpaul]

Not really I wouldn't pay 300 without looking as he said looks all rubbish

[@willieallan953]

My sons are about your age, and GI Joe stuff was great! They turned my grape ivy into a jungle and, a couple of years later, blew them up with fire crackers! I kept finding little bits of plastic body parts whenever I mowed the lawn! Fun times!

[@yardarm5]

. always fun , great job sorting ❤

[@bladesofglorylawnmaintenan6354]

Great score!! I got lucky on my last storage unit and found some 60’s Barbies and GI Joes (12”).. plus a zip lock bag of accessories. I can’t make up my mind if I want to put them on eBay, marketplace or just hold them for now. And you’re 100% correct on the “accessories” bringing more than the figures in some cases. After I started looking up what I had, I was blown away at the prices they were bringing. Goodness gracious!! Stay blessed!!

[@d-anger-noodle]

Plumber's o-ring is what you need to use to make it look original - number 8/9.

[@clpar-k2x]

GIJoe were called Action Force in the UK, my son had some. One spent Christmas as a sniper in the Christmas tree!

[@karenguidry6110]

I was going to ask if you ever play with the toys when you are by yourself, but you already answered my question.🤣

[@margaretalbert69]

Wow your garage is awesome and so clean😮!!!😊

[@TayTayWay]

Hi Alex, I just wanted to mention that the white canoe that you have at the end of the video separated over with the Star Wars stuff is actually a canoe for a G.I. Joe figure. It’s the Arctic stalker figure he came with a canoe. Just heads up love your videos

[@mdwyer1966]

“But somehow I still attracted a female.”🤣 Not gonna lie, my little 80s heart was beating pretty wildly when he opened those boxes, and I never even played with GI Joe. Now if it had been a My Little Pony haul…🤔

[@donzinette]

I laughed out loud when Alex said that. What a hoot.

[@scottm2828]

Jackpot. You got a heck of a deal in $300 for all of this.

[@roxysrelics9430]

The part where you said Melissa says how was your day at work and you said it was a tough day at the office pew pew pew I spat my coffee out laughing so much

[@countmalin70]

I've really enjoyed coming back to the channel after not getting the updates for so long ..... But this video is the best ever ...... it's a cool mix of mine and my brothers toy box.... those Star Wars figures on cards are truly the star find for me.

[@PatSimmons-g4r]

Wow! This was such fun to watch. Kind of wishing I still had all my son's toys from that era - but maybe not.😃

[@William_Borgeson]

I really love your office Alex :), way to go!

[@sued616]

Loved seeing the old toys

[@emilymay6221]

We found a huge box full of original 90s polly pockets at a garage sale about 3 years ago and bought for nz $20 and just got around to selling the sets this year...$800 profit which has helped pay for my kids xmas presents this year. Not sure we will find a bargain like that again

[@timothyharrison8953]

Back in the early 2000s, we had a garage sale. My son wanted to sell his Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. He had everything from the beginning until he felt he was too old. Like the year before. He priced everything for pennies on dollar. They were his to sell, and a neighborhood person who regularly had garage sales said he was making a mistake by selling everything so cheap. She bought everything and I'm sure made a huge profit the next time she had a sale. The thing was, my son was happy and wasn't in it to maximize profits. He just wanted more room. He'd actually planned to donate to the VA before we had the garage sale.

[@ordiekelleher2641]

Good morning Alex! Hugs!😊

[@cheriadams7393]

Love your shirt!

[@suzieq2958]

This was a really fun video, Alex and it was great to hear the monetary results in the same video after watching you sort, thank you! You have inspired me to bite the bullet and sort through our 2 crates of Lego for which I carefully saved the instructions to go with most of the sets!😃

[@catty2chatty]

Fun going through old toys. 😮I remember Consumers Distributing. You had to go up to the counter and order what you wanted, then they would go get it.

[@diannhoyt1844]

I raised 5 boys and have a storage unit with all their toys from the 80’s to 90’s. Two huge bins of legos and expensive war board games. Imaginex castles and pirate ship sets. I need to go through them…every year I tell them to come get them…oh what to do!

[@yoavlewinski5034]

Last summer i bought a huge 5ft box of 80s-90s toys for $50. Took me a couple days to organize them all into groups. And sold for over $1000. I regret not recording the process.

When you say GIJoe I think of Action Man the English version from the 60s 70s I wish I still had mine they would have been worth a bob or two

[@tammybride1453]

Hello I love your work

[@Chaedron1]

I had a USS flag! I shared it with my brother and we kept it on top of a low book shelf behind our bunk bed. Eventually it broke ( we were quite rough with our toys) and our dad put the remaining pieces together and attached them to the shelf so the shelf made the flight deck with the conning tower, bow, and gun turrets attached to the book shelf so we got a few years more out of it. But we grew out of it and gave all our GI Joe's to my best friend's little brother. Really wish I had those back, though our toys were really rough when we were through with them.

[@clairevagonis1873]

What don’t you know you know everything about everything old I’m so impressed

[@rikspector]

Alexander, I hope you enjoyed sorting and fixing those gems. About how long do you figure it took, yes, it's a labor of love, but time is $$$, so to speak. Cheers, Rik Spector

[@mcdonaldm73]

I'm 54 and still have my fisher price parachute like the one you found in the first box. My guy probably had 1,000's of successful parachute jumps from the late 70's-80's.

[@lorraineeverett4111]

[@jeanieschmidt3781]

This is making me nostalgic for my Robotech toys. I sold them via my sister's eBay "with battle damage" and I still miss them. But I was broke and in a bad situation, had to do it. Also the fine line between dolls and action figures made me laugh. I've been having that argument for years... it really is just a marketing tool. My default is "little plastic people".

[@raymondheckard234]

my GI joe was one of the originals from the 1960's, but he did not survive, as he was played with hard and war is Hell, m80 and Cherry bomy took there toll on him, as well as the napalm. I got my GI Joe Christmas 1964, I was 1 year old, and he was one of my toy's for years and I got older, the play got harder and more violent especially with the fireworks. The Steno we called Napalm.

Im one of those parents who bought the extremely large aircraft carrier ship for our 8 yr old. Luckily his bdrm was large. We have a xmas photo of him standing next to wrapped gift which was larger than him. The $$$ spent on GI Joe vehicles/figures, He-man, Star Wars, baseball cards, etc. during his youth. 🤦🏻‍♀️ And sadly we don’t have any of it today.
