Did we pass on a good deal with those Ghostbusters toys? And who was excited to see Shady Sega Guy!?

[@AweebitJakey]

Hard to say, but the yellowing DOES put a visual damper on them for sure. For display purposes I'd say pass, just based on asking price....but I'm a fan of the channel, far from an expert🤷👍

[@JoeMapes]

Are you in the business of losing money?

[@grendel0013]

Yellowing ruins the whole mint on card thing for me. I avoid.

[@alioninthejungle]

Hard pass…. Lovely items though

[@rogertrump1026]

No needed more Froggy Flips in that episode

[@PositiveJ888]

After looking up release year of Transformers, I believe it was probably then 1984 when I was given $60 of my Communion gift money and set loose in Toys R Us to get what I wanted. I remember buying all Transformers and Optimus was one of them. That was a great feeling to set loose into Toys R Us with $60 to spend as a kid!

[@toutalegout]

I love watching those super duper nerds, it's like watching the national geographic channel. great channel.

[@jimmyfaherty8588]

The slow drip of convention footage is great

Military guys overseas watching Toy Federation has to be a HUGE honor dude. that's awesome

We think so!

Shady Saga Guy! Love to see it. I hope there is a new video of him trying to sell shady stuff

Thanks for another great episode guys.

[@JM-jv6cb]

I’m not over seas now but have been a few times. I’m active duty still and love to watch Saturday morning toy show. Just so good to look back at toys from when I was a kid. Recently got an unopened Gi Joe I used to have as a kid. Love you show thanks !!!

[@gooseduck8552]

Eternia Dreams, that mobile Toy Store is brilliant! Now I wish I still had my Alpaca trailer 😂😂

[@wheeljoker]

That is one crispy clean Shockwave. It's lovely

[@ericwilliams6278]

His Rick Moranis Lewis impersonation without seeing him talk was pretty damn spot on!

[@brooke8567]

It sucked and was too long and cringeworthy .

[@ratface44]

I can watch your videos all day long and I'm sad that this video ended. I can't wait for the next episode!!

[@MegaAppl3]

Love ShockWave ! And Yes thank you for the service !

[@darrenhommell3414]

[@darthsmoker420]

The Shockwave is so cool. I need Megatron and Jetfire then I'll be pretty happy with my g1 collection.

[@WraithMace]

What time is it!?!?!?? It's Saturday morning new ToyFederation video time! 😊

[@royfarris5889]

You guys do have a rad store glad to see a true toy store still around I miss the old kb toys, toys r us and toy liquidators days and not to mention the precursor to GameStop kids nowadays don’t know about called babbages, and the other gem store back in the day service merchandise I remember getting toys and games from there you would pick what you wanted off shelf pay and the item would come down a conveyor belt from the back they didn’t have product on shelves lol miss those days

[@JBsToysHobbies]

The "Ryan T-shirts" 😂😂 awesome! We are already looking forward to next year!

[@toyfederation]

[@aceboogie2021]

Not a collector but love seeing the toys from childhood.

[@Chalor.]

These videos are a gateway drug man. Next thing you know, you'll be picking up Funko Pops from Target [noooo lol] I know a couple buddies that aren't collectors that ended up picking up some modern incarnations of stuff they loved as a kid. Nice to have a few doodads on your desk...like hyper detailed articulated fidget spinners.

[@STEVEGOTITPOOL]

Coming down to Columbia for work tomorrow.. Be there a week or so. Gonna try like heck to stop up for a visit and buy a Heman figure for the collection

[@darrenhommell3414]

saturday morning coffee and cartoons! i love this!

[@donnied74]

Love the vintage!! Awesome show!! Lobby swap looks like alot of fun I can't wait to visit the store in a couple more months when I visit my parents in Columbia sc

[@toyfederation]

Please do!

[@spiderdog74]

Thank you! I'll watch every Saturday if you keep putting them up!

[@johnbolen9770]

What an awesome weekend! Loved every second of it!!

[@AweebitJakey]

Man oh man what a show. Always great watching you guys, literally would just watch continuously on a livestream. Just wear bodycams and do what you guys do, it's amazing! Great purchases btw, that sealed battlin robots?!? Amazing 🔥🔥🔥

[@RetroToyQuest]

LOVE GOING TO Retro-Toy Con! SO MUCH FUN!

[@EchineDePorc]

Awesome as always ! Greeting from France

[@brianbaker3654]

Another great one gang. Keep up the amazing work.

[@shawnmclaughlin7418]

Maybe it's just me but I'm not a big fan of grading toys.

[@shannonwilliams1941]

Your not alone but it definitely seems to be becoming the norm

[@187umkillah]

Grading anything is a scam... the Grading companies have monopoly and are the real ppl that win in the end.

[@Gummytrains]

Omg you make me want to quit my 9-5 and just devote the rest of my life to 80s 90s toys

[@Chalor.]

44 y/o here, and even though I don't collect the stuff from my childhood (all about modern stuff), I still could relish in all that vintage goodness. About the only lines I don't have a lot of knowledge on are Transformers and Joe. For whatever reasons, those two lines didn't graduate into adulthood collecting.

[@Gummytrains]

Hi joes are hands down my fav I have a few transformers but more into voltron and robotech when it comes to robots gundams kinda cool too. But there will never be as good of a toy as 3.5inc GI joes. Was big into 21st cent toys too. Idk I just love watching this I have lots of my toys packed up makes me want to go though them

[@megamike420]

Though expensive a loose grayskull would be sick if you have it open like three quarters so you can see inside the castle etc. Very nice how he didn't even comment on dude's impersonation

[@Chalor.]

I would get one of the reissues and just call it an original lol. I mean not to resell it, just to tell myself that lie. _"It's the one from my childhood! In complete, pristine condition!"_

[@slevinslevin5700]

This channel is great and different from other related content. Channel will grow overtime keep up the good work lad's.

[@BryBry2ply]

I watched the opening of the sealed greyskull. If was full of newspaper and bubble wrap. Someone just re boxed their castle and sold it as sealed. The poor guy got scammed.

[@andrewevans5630]

holy crap i totally had that rock em sock em transformers as a kid!!!

[@treewisps4085]

i didn't know you assistant dude was such a good artist :)

[@johnboone9732]

Another great show, I will never forget how much fun I have being a nerd with all you guys! Ryan, I’m with ya on Shockwave, that scary ass one optic staring you down…Soundwave is my other favorite, something about a tape deck sending out cassette tapes that can kill you, lol! I’m not a big Transformer guy either but it’s awesome they are still relevant after all of these years!

[@Chalor.]

The great thing about Retro Toy Con is you can make like five or six episodes easily. Even though I live in Simpsonville, the last one was my first time going. It was _BY FAR_ better than all the SC Comicons I've been to. Rob from Borderlands isn't the greatest of guys (asshole *cough cough*), and the show reflects that. Years ago I was told by an employee that when they were being a jerk to me, that means they like me 😑.

[@SuperBigDog2U]

Wonder if they ever get the 1976 Micronauts toys. I had a few growing up and loved those. Everything basically interchangeable with the others.

[@b-man1232]

Quick story that I'll NEVER forget. I went to a garage sale about 3 Summers ago...it was an older couple. They had a table of vintage/random toys. There were FOUR CARDED & unpunched He-Man figures all from 1982 sitting on the table...he had them marked at $2.00/each!!! Needless to say, I could not grab them quick enough. It was obvious that this older gentleman had no clue what he had. Just out of respect, I ended-up paying him $30 per figure. He was absolutely blown away that I would pay that much for what he thought was just junk. I immediately listed them on eBay and obviously they sold quick (auction style) for good money. My only regret, I wish to God that I would have held on to them! Once in a lifetime find!!

[@crb4059]

what ones? and how much you get?

[@b-man1232]

@@crb4059 - got around $180-$190/each. I honestly can't remember which one's....one was the female....can't remember the other 3. I don't know MOTU very well.

[@b-man1232]

@@crb4059 - the other crazy part that I didn't mention...there was actually 10 of them in total. Another guy and myself locked eyes and literally ran to the table. He grabbed 6 and I got 4.

[@BongMetal]

Tony is my favourite recurring character.

[@ToySurprisevintage]

Nice seeing Shady Saga Guy again! More cameos please!

[@donaldleblanc2162]

Wow that General Lee so cool brings back memories

[@toyfederation]

Yep!

[@masochismworld1507]

“I’m not a big Transformers guy”--drops $600 on TF’ers lol

[@Jonsvintagetoycave]

I’m a real ghostbusters collector and in my opinion those first run yellows bubbles are openers. Not worth getting graded. And would be nicer opened today be displayed loose mint.. but I’m also a loose collector.. the guy seemed to think he was gonna get alot for them.. great video !

[@JoeRG84]

Does Travis sell his art anywhere? Dude is insanely talented.

[@toyfederation]

Yes he does! In the first episode of toy con from two weeks ago we put up is IG handle

[@joeclutton9379]

The "Our founder" Tshirts are legendary

Awesome! Glad to help!

[@dnaday-send3548]

I know it’s probably a long shot but we’d love to see you up here in Chicago for C2E2. Would that ever be a possibility?

[@Chalor.]

What breaks my heart is I live less than 30 minutes away, but haven't had a car in years. Only been able to go to Ryan's new store once....and it was a day where Mick Foley just happened to pop up. Apparently you just never know what's gonna happen at the Toy Federation.

[@starboykb]

Nice to see your video feature Riot Press Production and its toys.

[@underwaterlevelz1947]

man, you rarely see The Real Ghostbusters series 1 figures (Ray, Peter, Egon, Winston) unopened. Those toys were beloved. The kids that got them opened them and played with them to death.

[@MelodicMizeryPs3Vids]

ah geez 10:17 mandatory pixel dan appearance again

Love the Rock em Sock EM. There is a vid I saw and a guy had like 11 different variations of Rock em, damm it might have been even more than 11.

[@punisherxs6654]

I love thart Dukes Of Hazard car, it would be cool if it came with a sexy Daisy figure.

[@darkspar72]

Keep her away from craaaaaaazy Cooter.

[@user-zd857]

I think that was a good pass. Amazing Ghostbusters figures on card but $3200, Not much profit to be made. Jordan

[@jediknight73]

Its sooooo hard to collect toys and not open them 😂

[@goingindieEN]

That’s why I buy two if I can. One to open and another to collect.

[@syproful]

Look, i buy pretty expensive lego sets. I never built them. Just don’t have the time. I looking at the amazing boxes they have these days.

[@thewalruswasjason101]

The greatest transformer toy of all time is Jetfire.

[@ibapreppie]

People need to get off this grading thing.

[@hang10wannabe]

Yea, a comic shop owner I frequent says he doesn't like selling graded comics and won't buy outright (will sell commission) because it locks the price at a certain amount (good or bad) and it also locks the item away. Not a fan either although it is a great way to preserve.

[@Budwiseirwin]

Yo man, where can we get those founder Ts?? I’ll def buy one lol

Saga! We had a kid in grade below me (I think we were in junior high at the time) and he took a shockwave and made the first custom I ever saw, creating a Ted Bundy figure out of a couple Fisher price little people he cobbled together. He took the shockwave and made it into an electric chair for the serial killer Ted bundy. Unfortunately four or five years later I sold him all of my joe collection for 150 bucks (I needed a water pump for my rustang). I still regret that. Only thing I knew was that kid would take good good care of the joes like I did.

Mrs Whatsit said breathlessly, “Oh, my darlings, I’m sorry we don’t have time to say good-bye to you properly. You see, we have to-” But they never learned what it was that Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who, and Mrs Which had to do, for there was a gust of wind, and they were gone.

[@chadleschasin2893]

Are their specific price guides in Toy collecting like there is in comic collecting? I’m asking because I see eBay being used almost exclusively on these videos to grade comics … I never exclusively use eBay sold prices in comic collecting because it’s really not a good representation of the entire market and could be an anomaly…. I know in comics I’ll use a number of different sources to lock in on a realistic price for a book ….. I’m just wondering if the same can be found in toy collecting and there’s a Overstreet guide for the hobby.

[@knxghtro]

Not really, eBay sold listings are best way to see what the market is willing to pay. Most items will sit if priced too high. Just take an average of the sold listings and also see what you can buy one for. On rare items it’s a lot harder to use eBay because you can only view listings up to like 60 days or something. But there is apps/websites you can subscribe to that let you view all sold listings for the last 2-3 years, that would be the best option in my opinion.

[@stephenthomas1492]

I've never been a big Transformers guy either. I mean, they're cool that they transform and the cartoon was okay. They just aren't fun in robot mode. Most of them look awful and playability just isn't there. Especially when you have Super Powers, MOTU, GI-JOE, MASK, etc to play with.
