[@Humongous420]

[@greyjedi6430]

Dam right ill be watching next week and the week after and the week after that lol

[@kevinyoung9557]

[@ericsingleton791]

Makes my Saturday!

[@shuey9299]

Absolutely 💯

[@80sKid.]

"The dust gives it a protective layer... the dust keeps it safe." Thx to my dusty arse house, I've got the most protected, safest toy collection in the world lmao

[@okchief420]

yes that was a repro holder and yes I disclosed that info to the gentleman.

[@joshszczech7926]

Every time Devin is in an episode he seems genuinely awesome.

[@carlosarellano4]

The best part of waking up is Toy Federation In my Cup. 😂☕️

[@jasonleonard4000]

I have that Ernie puppet! He came with a plastic stick that u can attach to his arm. That's how u can make gestures. And u put your hand inside the head to move his mouth. Great memories!!

[@vane_twentyone]

Oh no, cliff hangers now????

[@RobbieWebster]

OK Chief is a great guy. I have no clue how he finds so much of the awesome stuff he comes across. I’ve purchased a few pieces from him myself. Like you guys, he’s very fair and honest about the items he sells.

[@ericsingleton791]

Man you guys have got this down to a science... Always amazed...

[@Humongous420]

I still have a few Army Ants! They were so cool

[@GodWeenSatan]

Ha ha those damn Funko's won't go away!

[@ericfromphoenix3566]

Their everywhere. I think of Anakin’s, “I hate sand” line every time I see Funkos. Just replace sand with Funkos. Lol

[@Amh10780]

It was awesome to see Army Ants,I had a few sets back in the day. Had the tank,and a jet as well

[@ericfromphoenix3566]

Another great Saturday morning! My wife and I spent 6 hours at our storage unit this week. Took forever going through all the boxes due to all the packing paper used by the movers. Had a ton of fun and a lot of stuff I forgot about. Brought stuff home that I’m going to try to sell and it is a ton of work going through everything. I got a little taste of what you guys do. My favorite find was a WWF program and wrestling line up from when I went on 11/18/86. That brought back some memories.

[@ShredderMediaRetro]

Chiefstoychest aka Richard Garza is who he was referring to. He's good friends with the Game Chasers and also has his own YT channel. Mainly a toy guy, he comes across some wild stuff in his toy hunting.

[@okchief420]

@@ShredderMediaRetro love you buddy see you at Retropalooza Forth Worth 😘

[@ShredderMediaRetro]

@@okchief420 I would have seen you here at the Houston one but I was busy with the business so I had to skip it.

[@AshleyWilbanks]

NOOOOOOO!!!! LOL, I was wanting to see what you offered him for the Transformers. I guess it is a good hook to get me back next week

[@dembonz7457]

@toyfederation I came in there earlier this week from Indiana. Picked up a couple vintage star wars. Love the store and was neat to meet you guys. Thx for the experience

[@FirstLast-fc7dt]

G1 transformers are easily KO’d nowadays. Thats why i dont mind the accessories if its genuine or not. Lifes too short to worry about those😂

[@rego023]

I’m in the uk, so not sure if I’ll ever have the chance to actually visit the store. Would it be possible to do a full tour of the redesigned store once finished please? Loving your content!

[@jds433]

A wild OkChief reference on a Toy Federation video. My KZbin algorithm is crossing over lol. You can probably reach out to him via social media if you still have the transformer and see what he knows.

[@okchief420]

I thought i heard my name lol

[@ShredderMediaRetro]

You did you did 😂​@@okchief420

[@jds433]

@@okchief420 oh for sure! Algorithm going full circle on me right now. If Billy or Jay (or Melvor!) chime in now because they heard their name lol.

[@BongMetal]

The Ernie puppet doll is badass, including the extra finger.

[@kevinyoung9557]

Good stuff.Lots of cool transformers. Thanks,Ryan.

[@itsme-notyou]

I'm wincing as you pick up those tf boxes by the flap. What a great haul

[@ovMAVERICKvo]

The Whatnot live auctions with the Toy Federation crew are a blast.

[@thommy2217]

I would love to see your personal collections. Something like a room tour.

[@jrockudont]

Good morning boys!!

[@kurtmcmahon7386]

your boy has a Calculator Watch - love it

[@jonathanfrancia2950]

More Devin!

[@AntidentiteDDS]

I will always support good people no matter what field they are in. Truly, genuine people are hard to find.

[@JayJayFromAZ]

Yes. New video! I remember in 1985 i bought a grimlock transformer.

[@user-bc6jd5tq6q]

i'm surprised it took me so many years to see army ants pop up on a toy video. I see all sorts of other stuff from my childhood but have not thought about Army Ants in 30 years.

[@AlexandertheSmith]

a cliff hanger! will the lone ranger ride again? can flash gordon save the day? tune in next week to find out! every saturday, again and again !

[@base1b2626]

This is like getting excited to watch the Saturday morning cartoons. Love it guys. Thanks for bringing us these very Saturday morning. Love em

[@gregoryrubin1811]

Didn't expect to see the Route 1 Orange Dinosaur on here!

[@shannonwilliams1941]

Was that some laserdiscs on the floor?!? 😂

[@ianpitkin6324]

Man my mother in law totally bought my daughter the matching Bert puppet at a yardsale a couple years ago

[@dusty52267]

That Boglins figure has Froggy Flip's name all over it.

[@michaeldockery9937]

Absolutely will be watching next week! Thanks for the great channel Toy Federation!

[@decepticonzerora]

I'm waiting for Toy Federation to come toy shopping in Tokyo is what!

[@Benjamin0119]

It's cool to see the Transformers boxes and how they work. I've only ever had loose G1, though I have some instructions and a few tech specs cards. Send those damn Funkos to the dump with the Atari ET cartridges. 🤣

[@thetvbaby83]

I don't care for them either. Idk how and why it got big for a minute. My kids only got certain boxes. PS I still have the ET and atari 2600 lmao 😂

[@peacedragon333]

The passion these guys have just comes through in a charming way - Love this channel - Long live Toy Federation !!

[@danriley5848]

My Saturday morning routine!

[@andydeveaux8763]

Always watching the background and as a kid I watched and loved the D&D cartoon so much. Tried to watch it as an adult and just couldn't do it 😀Maybe one of those that falls in the doesn't hold up slots.

[@redmist78]

" stupid game chasers....". That guy has some good stuff. I guess he assumes all the KZbin people hang out together. So you figured you knew who Chief was and the Game Chasers

[@okchief420]

@redmist78 every state has their groups brother

[@MrChristopoop]

I found the Game Chasers in my YT algo two years ago, never knew about em before. Same with TF channel, it popped in my feed one day. I became hooked when I found out the store was in area we just bought a house in SC (from upstate NY originally). It does seem to some crossover for a few toy and game youtubers, but there are prob some still who don’t know each other (especially since they don’t have as much time to watch all that content when they produce their own). Good stuff though.

[@chrisbay6672]

Liked, so excited when I see a new video. You guys are great! Thanks for the content!!

[@badfish5447link]

Holy crap army ants I totally forgot those existed. I wonder if I still have mine at my parents somewhere 😂

[@Humongous420]

I just realized it is Saturday because you uploaded 😂 I really need to stop drawing so much. Making animations has me losing track of time

[@AlexandertheSmith]

animation is a huge time sink! and a worthy pursuit. i wish you well and remember to take plenty off breaks!#420blazeit

[@thetvbaby83]

Lets go😂

[@thetvbaby83]

PS first 😂😂😂. It's like sat morning cartoons. If you seen my basement 😂

[@jannejokiaho4768]

Hello from Finland! Great video again!!!

[@conors2104]

Does anyone else have no idea what’s happening at any moment ? Why they are looking through that’s box/ who’s box it is etc

[@00ABBITT00]

Devin is the best.

[@theoriginalbuttonbasher2601]

I wanna see the chief at toy federation

[@MasterT333]

I swear you're just making up names for those transformers at the beginning 😂

[@marttull5979]

Love this channel so much nostalgia. Question was manta force toyline a thing in America? That and my turtles are the only things i really kept toy wise from my childhood

[@manraisedbypuffins9080]

Another great video, another thumbs up from the UK ❤

GREAT SHOW!!! CAN NOT WAIT 2 👀 WHAT HAPPEN'S!! THANK YOU GUY'S❤😂👍🤙🫶🙏

[@kanopi07]

Morning everyone

[@turtlewars3156]

Alright, after all these years, I'm finally going to my first Retro-Toy Con. Which is disgraceful considering I've been living in Charleston and Aiken for the past 22 years. My VIP ticket is purchased, and room reserved at the event hotel. Looking forward to experiencing the convention.

[@DavidWalraven-kx1ly]

More GiJoe guy! He’s my favorite character on this sitcom.

[@fedsen]

Oh man. I never see Army Ants anywhere. To get a bag full, that's awesome!

[@kentxx12]

This was not good,its just a teaser :(

[@Ghostsofthetimelines]

Happy Toy Federation day! That means happy Saturday new video. 😊

[@jasonblocker4351]

Devin is a treasure. We need to protect him at all costs!!

[@Erom23]

Optimus prime is the most ko toy out there😂

[@TheRobbyrobs1]

these guys are awesome

[@Seb726Laviolette]

I still have my childhood bogglin! loll and its still mint and stretchy. Hasnt dried off or deteriorated at all!

[@cruejones742]

Do you jerk off and lube it often? Sounds like it nerd.

[@nerdbot37]

I had that Ernie puppet! And Bert. (Hopefully still do in the attic.) I loved them, but they were hard to use. My weak child hands could barely squeeze their mouths shut.

[@Gareth769]

Tf Repro bubbles are very common now and no real problem with most of us tf collectors where needed.. especially on a budget !

[@donnied74]

I'm with you vintage only #norepos another awesome video guys!!

[@GreatLordJason]

Bring back the song!

[@unorthdoxcleric6953]

Another Banger

[@Quietstorm3333]

I bet chief vacuumed formed his self because he does all his toys like that he has a vacuum form machine

[@DCCRocks]

Not surprised you aren't taking funkos anymore. I heard the company did an Atari ET and dumped a ton of excess stock. When the funko trend truly dies, toy federation are gonna be selling the boxed ones for a dollar each i bet.

[@godfireprime]

That little plastic piece goes inside of the bubble to prop up sideswipe so he'll look better displayed inside the box otherwise the car will just flip inside the bubble cuz its very loose and not form fitting a few cars had them and its very often missing. I believe starscream had one too.

[@GlassTarantulah]

Get that man Devin a Toy Federation T-shirt ffs

[@S-A259]

Man I love this channel, you guys are great and you can slowly but surely see how much you are growing as a shop/community and even as a KZbin channel. I love the addition of seeing the live stream and once again the backroom, its great.

[@MegaAppl3]

Transformers are so good especially the Dino Bots

[@P1Gman]

The Red-Beard is a GL fan. He's my new favorite regular.

[@TheDragonDAFan_]

I'd love to get my hands on all of the 2000s Transformers toys I missed. The Legacy and Studio Series toys are really good, but those Unicron Trilogy toys have so much playablility with the Mini-Cons, Powerlinking, and Cyber Key gimmicks. I wish the tie-in lines for the recent cartoons had the same balance of articulation and gimmicks as the UT toys did.

[@PatchsOhulahan]

5:16 are those laser disc’s back there on the ground?

[@RLTango]

Good morning!

[@marswillrule2431]

That Ernie puppet was hard to do anything with. The hand always popped off too

Totally. They had everything in my area. Metro Detroit. ❤

Good spot, that Hotrod bubble is definitely a repro. I'd be inclined to think the Prime styro is also repro, it just looks too complete!

[@MikeS-vb1bs]

Ewoks are cannibals!

[@thetvbaby83]

Yes they were. Weird how fans don't acknowledge that 😂😂😂

[@turtlewars3156]

They have been established as carnivores in Star Wars lore, but not cannibals that I’m aware of. They would need to be eating other Ewoks to be cannibals.

[@thetvbaby83]

@@turtlewars3156 nah you seen the princess had to stop the munch on Han, Luke and Chewie.

[@turtlewars3156]

⁠@@thetvbaby83Yes, but none of those examples are Ewoks. They are two humans and a Wookie. That is simply Ewoks being carnivorous. By definition, to be a cannibal requires a species eating the same species. An Ewok would need to eat another Ewok to be a cannibal.

[@thetvbaby83]

@@turtlewars3156 ok got me on that. But the wokes was about to cook them and eat them. Now you got wondering what the wokes did with the storm troopers? Lololol

[@Prime-collector]

T2 trailer prime will be stamped 3 on all the parts. It’s very confusing. So many production runs in just a short time. Great to see more g1 transformers. Wish your store was closer. I’m in Oklahoma.

[@lanoche]

Dang an Energon Wing Saber as part of a $500 lot? That thing alone sells for like $100 on Ebay. That guy let go a rare figure by itself for nothing.

[@judesheckelberg5135]

Aw man...payoff next week? Sigh. I'll be here.

[@punaforager]

That era of transformers was pretty bad to us G1 guys. I remember browsing the toy isles and always walking away like ‘damn, what is going on with transformers?’ The paint apps are so sloppy or don’t match , or the minicon faces were a mess.
