Watching your videos we had 90% the same toys as kids.

I'm sorry this post is so long, but here's my story. Years ago when I was a kid, there was a Play-Doh toy called ''Count Creepy Head''. It was kind of an odd toy in that it tried to capitalize on the then burgeoning trend of gory horror movies. It was basically a Dracula-like figure with a black cloak. The body underneath was a plastic tube with a skull for a head. The idea was, you were supposed to use any of a series of clear plastic molds to make a creepy monster head out of green play-doh, which fit over the skull, and then load the hollow body of the figure with red play-doh. The arms were then pushed down causing the red play-doh to be pumped out of the eyes and mouth of the monster head, causing it to ''explode'' in a gruesome spectacle which delighted kids and grossed out adults. Well, after doing my best to justify to my Mom why I needed this thing, she flatly refused on the grounds that ''They shouldn't even be making toys like that.'' Years later when I was an adult, I started collecting toys. I was at a toy show, and just so happened to see a Count Creepy head in a sealed box sitting on a shelf behind an old guys table. I'd been looking for this thing for ages, and I was almost too disheartened to ask him what he wanted for it because I thought it would be too expensive. The guy said ''I think I had $10 marked on that.'' He went to get it down off the shelf and said ''Yeah it's ten dollars.'' I couldn't believe my ears. All I could mutter was ''That's fair, yeah I'll take it.'' This was in 2008. That was the best deal on a vintage toy I ever had.

[@AllThings80s]

Fantastic deal 👍🏻

Thank you 🙏🏻

The Five Winders advert is the most 1980s thing I've ever seen. Mind blowing! Years ago, I bought a book about how to survive a nuclear war for 1p off Amazonian (Postage £2.50). Inside was a map of the UK which showed Spaghetti Junction as the most likely target for a missile strike. Being from the Midlands, it turns out I was in the fallout zone which was absolutely terrifying. I wasn't too sure I'd got a good bargain at all after that. 👍

[@AllThings80s]

LOL 👍🏻

[@benstutley2904]

LOL, I was told exactly the same thing growing up with what was then 'British Aerospace' in my town, I wasn't quite in the instantaneous vapourisation, leaving a shadow on a wall zone, but more in the burned alive area, this cheerful info is relevant to an '80's kid's experience isn't it? :)

[@stephengray8374]

​​@@benstutley2904 It certainly is. Apocalyptic messaging was quite normal in the 80s. 😂 Ben, your work on Skeletor's channel is quite brilliant. 👍

[@MoparMcNeer]

You definitely know it was a bargain just for the fact that you remember it. So many items in our collection we pick up without any fanfare or too many memories associated with them. But occasionally, there's that memorable item that you scored for a heck of a deal, that you'll never forget. Collecting might be more special if each of the purchases we made had that extra meaning, but those amazing deals don't come around that often. I especially appreciate scoring a eBay auction win for well below what I was willing (& often expecting) to pay. Very satisfying. Thanks for sharing your top five memorable bargain pickups Dean (I especially love that Enterprise, so minty & white 🤯). These were all excellent & even better that you got them for a "steal".

[@AllThings80s]

Yes, there's always something quite memorable about the items you pick up for an absolute bargain.

[@johnnystratos9168]

Great video and definitely some great finds and good prices. You know what they say. Less is more. Just be patient

[@AllThings80s]

Many thanks 👍🏻

[@MonkeyboysToys]

Nice E.T. !! Lovely example! I had forgotten about those key cars as well. I had one but can't remember which. Great bargains dude! 👍👍

[@AllThings80s]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@Bucky749]

Oh I also did a comic review of reprint of a Captain marvel jr comic I have you might enjoy that I almost forgot. To mention it .

[@AllThings80s]

👍🏻

[@BlackArroToons]

Great video showcasing these classic vehicle themed toys! The Five Winders Gears car, I remember that but never managed to get one. Cool concept. Nice commercial ads for the items too. I had Penny Racers back then which were fun too. Thanks!

[@AllThings80s]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@Ecto_Eric]

Great video Dean I really loved the Five Winders, thanks 🙏 for sharing

[@AllThings80s]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

[@MonkeyboysToys]

I'm not really into toy cars (except the Tonka TNT Racers), but I want one of those Five Winders! HOW DOES IT KNOW HOW TO STOP!!! 😲😲

[@AllThings80s]

As a kid, it felt like some sort of sorcery. LOL 👍🏻

[@Retrotoyguysi]

99 cents for a Corgi Juniors Wonder Woman car! In original packaging! Yeah that’s a bargain for sure 😃 The 8 year old in me needs one of those 5 winders, I’ve never heard of them before. Great video 👍😀

[@AllThings80s]

Five Winders were cool because they did exactly what they claimed they would. Hours of fun, for sure. 👍🏻

[@80sKid.]

Oh man, watching ET in the cinema back in the day. EMOTIONS 8yo me and Mum sat in front of a group of teenage girls. They were absolutely inconsolable during THAT scene. Hell, I’m getting all teary just typing this lol ET will still leave you a blubbering mess, can confirm, yep 💯😭😂

[@AllThings80s]

Yup, there's no way I'm putting myself through that again.

[@peterlambert1728]

I had that Corgi Bertone Runabout Barchetta before they added Wonder Woman in the driver’s seat. It was available in the regular & Juniors sizes. Another great sentimental video, Dean.

[@AllThings80s]

Many thanks 👍🏻

[@theweaponx8497]

Awesome finds I came across an old complete vintage Star Wars Empire Strikes Back Han Solo action figure. He went for $11.14 on Amazon before the pandemic hit.

[@AllThings80s]

Nice 👍🏻

[@impossiblepie]

oh man I remember the 5 winder car!! I can't remember if I had it growing up, and I remember the key cars too.

[@AllThings80s]

👍🏻

[@acanimations1223]

A testament to why you should never dismiss an auction. A guy I know got this doctor who wooden cyberman Lego figure, which only 50 were ever made, for £18, and it was in a lot with 4 other figures. Bargains are always out there.

[@AllThings80s]

Absolutely 👍🏻

[@mzeroxx69]

Had that key car!! I once got a Japanese cyborg Kikaider statue worth 300 for 6 dollars on eBay Also have had luck with PlayStation systems 1,2,3 and psp for less than 10 bucks with the 3 and psp being road side box throwaways.

[@AllThings80s]

Nice one 👍🏻

[@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784]

I had a silver Spiderman Porsche key car and one of those five winder cars but in a different style to both of yours.

[@AllThings80s]

Nice 👍🏻

[@VantagePointrocks]

Never seen the 5 gear car things before. I did though think you were about to show us your cars in action as opposed to an old TV advert.

[@AllThings80s]

Stay tuned as I'll be doing a video looking at the various 80s toy cars that had a gimmick feature. 👍🏻
