Do you call it Jetfire or Skyfire?

[@decepticonmark]

Skyfire will always be Skyfire. Just like Bluestreak will always be Bluestreak and not Silverstreak to me

[@jcbvortex22]

I call it a rip off of Robotech

[@bannedfreespeech]

​@@jcbvortex22which is a rip off of macross

[@oni-stormgaming6224]

Definitely jetfire

[@Primeghost_2]

G1 Skyfire✌

[@thewalruswasjason101]

That transformer, whether you want to call him skyfire or jetfire ( jetfire to me!) is the GOAT. My all time favorite toy maybe ever. It’s a Robotech Veritech design, that transforms in all 3 modes, AND it’s in the transformer line?!?!

[@SouthernSavage-ne1zh]

No ur gonna call it a Skyfire.....

[@zakur3096]

Ya that’s a Macross design I had to pause the video and take a good look at it 👀 lol 😆

[@thewalruswasjason101]

@@SouthernSavage-ne1zhlol. I get why you would/should, but I grew up with it as jetfire. Sorry, 35 years of hard-wiring

[@CFCMahomet]

It’s a VF-1 Valkyrie

[@SouthernSavage-ne1zh]

@thewalruswasjason101 Alright well I'll let it slide this time I guess. I really didn't want too but I guess I will . God bless

[@henceforthbass]

This should be a tv show I love it that much

[@TheDreamtimezzz]

It always amazes me how you remember all the accessories that are needed for so many toy lines

[@ronaldella093077]

G1 Skyfire was the orignal design. When Hasbro purchase the Robotech, they changed the original design of Skyfire to Jetfire which is a design from Robotech Skull Leader.

[@RLTango]

I'm 100% Team Jetfire!

[@KEEPINGitREAL213]

I remember as a kid, getting G1 Jetfire. And in my mind....he was the same character in the cartoons. (The childs imagination) I also remember being slightly disappointed that he didn't look anything like the cartoon Skyfire! Thankfully.... Fanstoys, Takara, NewAge, and Magic square have provided us with a proper Skyfire 40yrs later.

[@Ingram091]

I recently gave all my GI Joe and Transformers from the 80s and 90s to a local family with a bunch of kids and they LOVED them! I always thought I would have my own kids but that never happened, so I was glad they went to kids that would enjoy them as TOYS, not just sitting on shelves as artifacts of an age now near extinct. I still have many old Star Wars toys, but anymore I’m feeling the same way about those too. Especially now that Star Wars is damaged goods that store can’t even give away the product. It’s just so nice seeing those kids playing with the toys that brought me so much joy in my childhood.

[@trollking99]

Similar thing happened to my brother and I as kids. My dad knew a family whose kids outgrew their toys and they were passed on to us - toys from the 70s like Big Jim, Six Million Dollar Man, and the big GI Joes.

[@jamespero6803]

Awesome Kelly's Heroes shirt. Love that movie

[@grendel0013]

I like taking note of what t-shirts everyone is wearing. I saw Ryan's Kelly's Heroes shirt and was like "That's a cool one."🙂

[@retrolifestyle2542]

This is soooo breath taking to still see people holding on toy toys/art after all these years... Thanx to u guys n these amazing videos n content

[@liteney]

Please don't forget to insert more of the older commercials for the toylines eh, I miss those. Cheers :)

[@arguspanoptes6241]

I remember shredding that Jetfire box Christmas morning. It still makes me smile thinking about it. I have every piece intact like it was brand new still to this day except the box 🤣 one of the coolest presents Santa ever brought me 👍 I still have my original Optimus minus a box 🤣

[@anthonyplanzo1082]

Its amazing how clean that Jetfire is. Unreal

[@TheEnabler64]

The "Dad Cut'' just hit me in the feels

[@gooseduck8552]

DANG, that Jetfire is so fresh!! Nice to see some Transformers on here 🙏🏼

[@BDevi0us]

Time for my Saturday morning cartoons.

[@Knowledgeispowersheep]

Had to show my support and bought my TOY FEDERATION T-shirt!! Love the channel!!

[@toyfederation]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@joewestcoast2565]

That last NES GIJOE game was epic. All of it. Good stuff

[@donpearson2076]

My dad had that Jetfire he bought for us to play; I’ve kept it but it’s far from complete and not in good shape. 6 kids ( me and my siblings)played with it and it shows. But still hold on to it to remember my dad.

[@Horcrux_maker]

These videos are like prozac,instant mood boost!

[@megatronxmatt]

Silverhawks what a great cartoon and toys. I never owned them growing up in the 80's. Still love the opening them song to this day!

[@godfireprime]

Thats a 1985 jetfire cuz the 1984 version had the tatsutoku macross symbol on the wing still and it got fixed in the second run. same with the 1084 optimus. He had metal plates in his trailer and a grey roller, the second run took out the plates and roller is the more common blue version.

[@MCTFLY]

Your videos are one of the highlights of my week. Thank you!!

[@timberry4250]

As good as modern transformers are, there is certain something with G1 originals, sure.some look nothing like the comics/tv show and the scale was way out, but they just had that something that allowed kids to have fun, the 80s packaging adds to that

[@schadenfreudeind]

Those Retro Toy Con exclusives look so cool! I wish I could travel there to check it out. Hope the con is super successful!

[@mokeimusic]

"I don't know what it is but I'm buying it" Statement of the year!

[@BULLY_FINGER]

The knowledge these guys have is insane, especially when it comes to smaller toy lines and their accessories. 😳

[@kanopi07]

Skyfire was my favorite Transformer

[@neon_necromunda]

Great video again guys

[@Afton_VR1]

Got jetfire for christmas as a kid...need another one for my collection!

[@user-bs3zy4jl3v]

ALWAY'S,THE BEST TIME'S WITH THE TOY MAN!!!!THANK YOU!!!!!❤😂

[@barrettclifton3193]

I love your videos! I hope to come out and visit some day. Its just really cool seeing the store from the owner perspective!

[@user-ci4my5tb8j]

It's an amazing store. I'm lucky to live twenty minutes away. Definitely worth the trip if your in the area.

[@thwipp101]

yo the box of NES carts and we didnt get to see them!! there was some $$ in there.

[@marklawson2004]

The vac metal on the Silverhawks is still beautiful. My Jetfire is super minty too with the gun clip. Don't think my box is that good but the Transformer is just as white. Took me SO long to get one I was happy with. Stickers weren't even applied. Great video.

[@davejonze]

Love the channel! Brings out that nostalgia of my inner child that couldn't wait for Saturday to roll around.

[@DECEPTICONUK]

Some great toys there. I remember getting that voltron for Christmas and thinking it was a cheap transformer. Jetfire was way to white. I have my one in a glass case and he has some yellow.

[@darrenhommell3414]

Saturday morning cartoons I love yall!!!! Garner NC is coming to visit soon!!!!

[@redmist78]

My brother and I had a great childhood as far as toys we didn't have everything but we had a lot. Sadly my parents didn't care for the toys after we grew up and I still don't know what happened to 90% of our toys. My dad decided to put them in the back shed in cardboard boxes which I don't understand why. So much stuff was ruined because of mice and other animals. I keep all my stuff now in plastic totes with tight lids.

[@jcprime2712]

Awesome video guys! Man, I really hate I let that Jetfire go. Glad I didn’t sound like a D.A., even though I am. lol Can’t wait to bring in some more things. Haven’t even looked through my StarWars stuff yet. You guys just made my Saturday! Thanks and much ❤for the Federation! The Toy Federation!

[@liteney]

You should do a video of your shed with all your old toys and post it on youtube eh. :)

[@ToyMercenaries]

Those Silver Hawks were so clean. I find them out here in Michigan every so often but they are never in that condition! Awesome video!

[@DavidWalraven-kx1ly]

I love this show. It’s like Pawn Stars only unscripted and less bald.

[@damiencampbell1090]

Dino riders are the best

Shout out to the federation

[@davidjoswick1610]

Devintage gaming it up in the back!

[@Phonesavanh-dd7oh]

Best robot toys of the 80’s and today . I like to refer him as macross line though not as transformers line just because his from that franchise.

[@grrrraffe]

He'll always be Jetfire. ... And a Phoenix Hawk LAM to me.😍

[@mattywatson7075]

super awesome video the memories of the time love it

[@multanemo]

I liked when I offered a trilogo Yakface CAS 75 to a local store knowing I wasn’t gonna get retail, and they offered $300.00

[@leearmstrong38]

Just love watching this channel amazing toys people ace forget the world problems and play with toys ❤

[@CFCMahomet]

Let me show these Silverhawks (on top of a sweet Voltron set) - well played! Pretty minty and white Jetfire for being 38 years old.

[@darthsmoker420]

Always a fun video. Love seeing all the things I collect on your channel

[@leighdurrant9116]

Just love the way these vids just randomly end 😂

[@toyfederation]

How do they randomly end?

[@leighdurrant9116]

There's nothing wrong with it, just used to an outro

[@theretroroomne6301]

I should also say is someone who runs a store. 50% is an idea. I also factor shelf sitting time, and if it’s going to be a single item flip or MANY items that’s going to take a fair bit of work. There’s lots of factors that effect how you buy stock.

[@mikeloamzzz9593]

Find a Jetfire like that. Then hit me up. Sold.

[@Benjamin0119]

Those are Dino Riders are awesome. I wish I knew about them as a kid. I had one of the guns, thought it was a Star Destroyer turbolaser or something haham. Hey, I have that blue guy. I thought he was a Sky Raider or whatever, since he's about the size as a MASK figure.

[@IanFiebigwi]

Positive vibes!

[@Kael1413]

I absolutely love the Captain Power.

[@kevinyoung9557]

Better late than never .Thanks for the awesome video.

[@Quad_X_]

You had me at the title - I have a focus Jetfire / Skyfire display for some time - I even have a professionally done Skyefire Purple Jetfire including Decals that is super super clean tight joints - My boxed Jetfire isn't as clean as the one in the video but It is complete with the clip - Always be hunting...

[@serenitus1981]

I personally love the siege jetfire and the masterpiece jetfire better than the original g1

[@user-zd857]

I remember in some previous videos you were talking about expanding the store. The floor is great but you need a nice large table to sort. Great video. Jordan from Toronto, Canada.

[@toyfederation]

We like the floor

[@MegaAppl3]

I love the Transformers

[@rogertrump1026]

Love that gi Joe game for Nintendo, I use to play it all the time because of snake eyes. Also, the second one released by Capcom is really good too.

[@KingLucas64]

Love yall at toy federation will probably stop by to see what new transformers yall have or if anything piques my interest

[@andysierra6934]

I was a kid with ocd and I did the dad cut.

[@DaveN80]

Gotta love that they repackaged the macross fighter and slapped transformers on it.

[@michaelwills1926]

That’s what makes this toy cool

[@Benjamin0119]

Jetfire is probably my favorite childhood Transformer. I remember the one I got as a kid from a flea market was missing a hand. It got lost with other toys in a fire, but I managed to track one down complete, with one of the styrofoam inserts, for $200 back in the 2000s, not sure exactly when. It was my most expensive Transformer. None of the combiners even cost that much. Of course, one of my favorites had to be the most expensive! And yeah, I prefer the Jetfire name and design over Skyfire from the cartoon. The cartoon design was changed because of the whole Robotech/Macross fiasco. Not sure why his name was changed, though!

[@rommelsaint8869]

Ryan....................Kelly's Heroes one of my favourite war movies.....👍👍❤

[@toyfederation]

It's a great film!

[@spencer5654]

Jetfire is My favorite transformer. I had one in the 80s. I think Macross sued them for using their design.

[@fedsen]

I need a Kenner Knight Rider. Dang that one looked in great shape.

[@lumberjack2326]

Awesome video

[@toyfederation]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ovMAVERICKvo]

Met the turtles at Retro Toy Con last year and cant wait to see whats in store with the X-Men this year.

[@TheCobraReport]

love dino riders, I still have quite a few including the T-Rex. While the ones you got are complete and in good physical condition the armor on the raptor and Triceratops had severe UV damage, the armor should be a light grey and not the weird tan color, sadly all to common for these toys, luckily they can be retro-brighted like old GI joes and stuff. absolutely love that toy line and the first 2 episodes at least were really good.

[@rexrocker1268]

The transformer at the start I remember my big brother got it for Christmas and I was so jealous lol. Cool toy, it was a blatant ripoff of Robotech

[@michaelwills1926]

Not a ripoff but a rebranding. It’s the only reason I got this one because I was into Macross

[@Nodnarb518]

Wish there was a spot like this up in NY

[@andycervantes1586]

I have a jetfire complete in a box and six more loose😊

[@mikeloamzzz9593]

Let me know if you want to let it go. I drooled over that as a kid. Got one after working jobs. And my kid brother destroyed it.

[@jeffleake1960]

I had a pull back and release (i forget what there really called) knightrider dicast car as a kid it was the best hard wearing ,take a licking keep on ticking stunt car i ever owned it was awesome . Whenever it got beat up i just coloured over it with a marker pen or enamel paint

i think it would be very fun to work at a store like this. i think I would enjoy it a lot. to bad u live so far I would stop by your store!!

[@sophiehensley121]

You should have sold those yourself. You got screwed by that guy 400 bucks hell you could have got that for the Jetfire or more

[@trollking99]

It's true but many people don't have the time, patience, or know-how to sell things themselves.

[@godfireprime]

Its an 85 jetfire, the 84 version has the macross symbol on the wing. Which obviously got removed due to copyright issues upon the re0release.

[@theretroroomne6301]

I’m pretty sure the wwf bendy was a Taz. Go check solds on that alone. Damn.
