Lost In Toys found In Stamford - Toy shop & Collector Special

Get ready for another exhilarating toy-filled escapade, dear viewer! Joe and Matt rev up the engines of the legendary "Toy Shop on Tour" van, embarking on a thrilling journey to Dudley, home to the elusive treasure trove known as "Lost In Toys." With Joe's insatiable appetite for collectibles leading the charge, the duo dive headfirst into Gav and Stella's emporium, unearthing rare gems and perusing treasures not seen on the show before.
But the adventure doesn't stop there! Buckle up Starbuck as they traverse time and space to Stamford, where Gary Bartrum's legendary collection awaits. From ultra-rare "Battlestar Galactica" artifacts to coveted models and memorabilia, Gary's exhibit dazzles the senses. However, amidst the marvels of the man cave lies a twist-Gary's impending house move prompts a clearance sale. With wallet at the ready, Joe eagerly dives into the fray, contemplating purchases ranging from "Star Trek" relics to "A-Team" treasures that might be beyond the show's budget.
Join us for another whirlwind journey through the annals of toy history, where nostalgia reigns supreme and every acquisition tells a tale. With Joe at the helm, who knows where the adventure will lead? Tune in for another unforgettable episode of Toy Shop On Tour!

This might sound really silly, but having grown up not having many new toys when I was small, (largely inheriting my dads and uncles leftovers - who they themselves got from older relatives) seeing these toys really cheers me up. Although I’m only 24 when I see things like old transformers, Britiains swoppets, action man etc. all makes me feel like a kid again. Strange when I think about it, how such simple objects gave multiple generations of my family much joy. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!

[@SpoonJarFilms]

Thanks Joseph. You’ve just described pretty much why we make the show. That link back to the fun filled childhood days of playing with toys is strong in many people and seeing their toys again often brings back happy memories and triggers the toy joy. Thanks for watching and spread the word.

I did one better and passed on some business cards and flyers to some cool guys I met earlier, I told them about this channel. I just hope that there's someone who knows about old school Hip Hop in the shop if the subject pops up 🤜🤛

[@markmcdowell2733]

Brill show. Sudden memory from seeing the Ming toy: how I used use the plastic insert of Easter Eggs (in the 80s) as vehicles for my He Men figures. They were surprisingly effective as they skimmed over the carpet! A bit indulgent to share, but felt I had to just in case anyone else did it.

Awesome episode Joe 🔥👍👊🏻

I don't care about the paint application, I think those surfers are great 🏄🏄‍♀

They are! 100% agree. Sat in my collection now.

@@leicestervintagetoyshop When I first saw them I wondered if they'd be split up and I could grab one. Then I realised that the whole thing is complete and it'd be sacrilege to compromise that. I may design, build and paint a surfboard and wave for some of my action figures sometime, I'm never short of ideas these days with such great inspiration ✨

Airwolf awesome I would have bought it. 1999 when Star Wars died in my option. Buck Rogers now I'm feeling old, where's Twiki the silver robot head shaped like 😂😂. Redlight special Spock helmet. Great finds

Far better Sunday vintage viewing than the Antiques Roadshow. Joe's an honest bloke regarding the Moondancer figure. Turning up to check out a connoisseur's collection and then being able to buy selected gems from it is THE dream 😍

That was the envy of the playground… and got a laugh in exam rooms!

Of all the private collections you’ve brought us over the years, for me personally, Gary’s room and how it’s laid out is just perfection, that room is the dream ticket for me, thanks to Gary for letting us look and thanks to Joe for bringing it to us, can’t believe he’s moving though, the perfect room gone forever 😢

Cool stuff

[@acrodave9287]

It's when I see collections like this I realise that I'm not a collector, I'm just a sad old dude with a few bits and pieces! Love the Gatchaman toys, I'm just looking for a loose HoundTank to complete my die-cast set. The main problem with the spikes on the front of the Buck Rogers Starfighter wasn't just that they were sharp, but that they were exactly the same distance apart as a pair of child's eyeballs, and it would've been too tempting! Kids are inventively violent, horrible little creatures. I was... 😂👍

Oh FFS Joe, you're not one of them are you? 'Politically Correct' about a 150yo flag?

[@leicestervintagetoyshop]

I don’t get involved in any politics ever. I did mention the fact that the Dukes car wouldn’t be made with the confederate flag on the roof today.

[@philloomer]

the flag has been claimed by white supremacists and embodies hatred. Its not politically correct to understand its history and symbolism and how that might be problematic with a toy in a modern context.
