Superb tag team match from Jeff and Capt'n Shaffer

[@Chasing80sToys]

👍😉

[@barkerworld]

@@Chasing80sToys Thanks Jody!

[@bobahicks]

Great seeing Jeff and Michael on this week's video. I like this vehicle. I definitely appreciate it more as an adult than I did as a kid. It probably is my favourite of the figure carriers that Kenner released back in the day 👍🏆

[@Chasing80sToys]

Cheers👍😉

[@barkerworld]

Totally agree!

[@TeZXSpectrum]

Awesome review. Recently retrieved mine from my mum's attic. Great ship with happy memories. Love the space maggot.💥💥💥💥💥

[@Chasing80sToys]

Saw the photo. It still looks fresh. Like a time capsule from that great era of toys. 👍😉

[@barkerworld]

Never heard it called the Space Maggot, but that totally works!

[@Gojitron1]

One of the few Kenner SW toys that I've never owned, it just never appealed to me but Jeff and Michael make it look like a fun piece to have. The "pickle" design of the ship reminds me of the rocket ships you'd see in the older Flash Gordon serials. Nice collaboration, guys!

[@Chasing80sToys]

Thanks Goji👍 It does has that retro rocket vibe.🚀

[@barkerworld]

Never thought of it that way but that's a great way to look at it!

[@kieronball8962]

Excellent review video of the Rebel Transport, by Jeff Barker, for Chasing 80s Toys. And a great addition to Jeff's amazing Star Wars collection. I also love the cameo appearance by Michael Shaffer. :)

[@Chasing80sToys]

Cheers for watching 🙏☺️

[@barkerworld]

That Shaffer popping up is the cherry on top of my aimless ramblings.

[@Scott.Hughes]

I am glad that my packaging efforts were effective. I was terribly worried that such a prime example was going to be trashed in the post. Thank you for your very kind words. It was very much my pleasure and there is nothing that I love more than helping out friends.

[@barkerworld]

Scott, absolutely amazing what you did there. Still blows me away every time I think about it.

[@Chasing80sToys]

Thanks for watching Scott. 😊👍

[@jamese3169]

This is a great video. Yeah I could see not really caring for this as a kid and now having to have one. My cousin had the Darth Vader carrying case. He had a ton of Star Wars toys as a kid. Again great video and thanks.

[@Chasing80sToys]

Thanks for watching 👍☺️

[@barkerworld]

Darth Vader case was the bomb.

[@BobHansenJokes]

Tremendous! Thanks Jeff and Michael! It's like a space-age APC!

[@Chasing80sToys]

Thx for watching 👍☺️

[@barkerworld]

Great analogy! Thanks Bob!

[@ToyKennections]

Thanks for the history lesson Jeff and Michael! This is cool as it's an item I've never looked too closely at. That's a cool looking box for Jeff and Michael showing the carrier aspect makes it seem a bit like the GI Joe APC in a way!

[@Chasing80sToys]

Thanks for tuning in. ☺️👍

[@barkerworld]

It definitely holds a lot of figures! A toy and a case, we all win!

[@TimHayes]

Excellent video! :)

[@Chasing80sToys]

Thanks Tim ☺️👍

[@barkerworld]

Thanks Tim! Appreciate it!

[@ReynoldsReviews]

Another superb episode!!! Great to hear Jeff and Michael’s take on the pickle, strangely like Jeff I bought my rebel transport purely because I felt I should own one regardless of the fact I never really liked it to look at, however, I now absolutely love that thing! Strange how things grow with you over time. Great video lads, really enjoyed it 👍

[@Chasing80sToys]

Cheers Luke☺️👍 Had a feeling again you would appreciate this weeks video😉

[@barkerworld]

That's exactly right! Thanks for watching!

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Empire Strikes Back is my second fav movie all time. (Raiders of the Lost Ark is my number 1) , so l love seeing these old movie toys. I didn't have this one. I had the falcon and a tie fighter... Seriously cool review boys!

[@Chasing80sToys]

Cheers 👍☺️🙏 and Yo Joe 😉👍

[@retroblasting]

Awesome work, guys. Well done!

[@Chasing80sToys]

Thanks ☺️👍

[@barkerworld]

Thank you sir!

[@bountyhunter779]

It's a beautiful piece of Star Wars toy history!! So glad you managed to get a complete one with a box!!!

[@marklaurenzi1609]

Nice video! I'm impressed with the condition.

[@Chasing80sToys]

Thanks☺️👍

[@barkerworld]

I was also!

[@thedragonreborn9835]

It's always a pleasure to watch the content on this channel. Great topic for this video. 😀

[@barkerworld]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@geekstrong1]

I have this boxed also and I love it 💪🤓 Great video

[@Chasing80sToys]

Thanks for watching ☺️👍

[@barkerworld]

Thank you!

[@MichaelJShaffer]

Glad you've come around on the pickle, Jeff. It especially goes well with a Reuben. Nicely done on the editing, as always, Chris. Very kind of Chris, Jeff, and Pete to invite me on their channel.🖖

[@Chasing80sToys]

☺️🙏👍

[@barkerworld]

I hate pickles and reubens. But glad you were on the video with me!

[@macorourke2222]

Totally awesomeness Brother. Our perspective on Toys are so different as Adult Collectors. Myself I appreciate the details much more. The time period on which the Toy manufacturer's were making Our beloveded Toys. The limitations They had to work with. Thanks always for sharing Your passions for Collecting Vintage Toy Gold. From Toronto Ontario Canada 😀 👍 ❤ 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🌎🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯💯💯

[@barkerworld]

Thanks Mac! Very kind!

[@Ksknight100]

I never realised either just what a cool toy this is. Great video guys, many thanks for your knowledge and for showing us around.

[@Chasing80sToys]

Cheers mate☺️🙏👍

[@barkerworld]

You need one for all of your Playmobile figures!

[@JFvE]

If you sing "Pickles in space" to the tune of the Muppets' "Pigs in space" the Imperial Star Destroyers are rendered useless.. much like a hit from the Ion Cannon. Fact. Awesome job, gentlemen.

[@Chasing80sToys]

😂😂😂👍👍👍Thanks 😉👍

[@MichaelJShaffer]

Wait, you're quoting music? Is this an alternate reality? I need to look and see if I suddenly have grown a Van Dyke.😉 Thanks for watching, Joseph. 🖖

[@FullersFigures]

Great breakdown on the rebel transport. And the walk down memory lane. Very special memories to share.

[@Chasing80sToys]

Cheers for watching again Conor😉👍

[@barkerworld]

Thanks Conor!

[@SeanSolo8]

Very cool guys!! I also hated it as a kid.

[@Chasing80sToys]

Cheers 👍😉

[@barkerworld]

Hope you’ve come around like I did.

[@VintageToyRush]

LOL How many soldiers are hiding in Michael's transport?? Great double act and a case of beauty is more than skin deep! 👍

[@Chasing80sToys]

Cheers Dave. That Transport was packed right😉👍

[@MichaelJShaffer]

@Vintage Toy Rush My wife would say far too many and I say not enough untill it's full.😄

[@brianjohnson5063]

I had one as a Christmas present the same year the B wing fighter came out. I loved playing with it I picked up on ebay for £40 with back packs and gas masks missing the boarding ramp at the time complete now

[@cptoyscollection]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😎😎😎Cool transport. Awesome video...👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Chasing80sToys]

Thanks so much ☺️👍

[@barkerworld]

Thank you sir!

[@Griss_Manson]

I’m in the minority here but I absolutely love this ship, so many happy memories from back in the day. Enjoyed this, subscribed.

[@Chasing80sToys]

Thanks for watching and subscribing.

[@xazylsclubhouse]

I have seen one of these in person so it's great to get a good look at it here. Thank you!

[@Chasing80sToys]

Cheers for watching ☺️👍

[@barkerworld]

Thank you sir! Glad you liked it and thanks for watching.

[@brendanhaley3668]

Great choice on topic for the video. It was great to see the ship getting stripped down to basic parts, with both presenters showing extra features in their parts. I have never seen one of these, but the amount of play functionality was really undersold by what seemed like its blad exterior. I wonder if it had been involved in more closeup scenes amd action if the general opinion would be different. Thanks guys for your efforts!

[@Chasing80sToys]

Cheers mate☺️👍 Such a beautiful ship. Unique and so vintage in it's looks.

[@keeponcollecting]

Like you Jeff, I wasn't impressed as a kid. Nothing really compared to the Falcon toy. I still don't have, but is on my list to find one day 😁 Thanks Jeff and Michael for ur thoughts and review on this now admired star wars ship 👌😎

[@barkerworld]

Get that Falcon!

[@Chasing80sToys]

Thanks for watching.👍

[@BanthaPooDoo64]

Ur Right it took time for it to grow on you ,I hav two complete Transporters one boxed one displayed. Funny thing is if they didn’t make one back then ,veteran SW collectors would crying for one now pay boo coo bucks for it.

[@stoned466]

When I was a kid this ship was never on my wanted list.

[@barkerworld]

It should be now!

[@Chasing80sToys]

Thx for watching 👍☺️
