First time watching here but I had to say I love that Nightcrawler with the sword you’ve got on your shelf. So many people overlook him being a Master Fencer.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

Hey welcome to the party pal! Good call on Nightcrawler. I originally only got him to complete the team but he’s actually low key one of the best X figures they’ve made!

[@TheTecunUman]

Your videos would be vastly improved if you allowed more time to focus on the slides with the photos of the figures, rather than cut away from them quickly. Less face time please and more time to view and admire the figures that you’re describing. Thanks.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

Thank you for the feedback. I very much appreciate that and have already tried to implement exactly that approach :)

@@DisplayingModelBehaviour Rarest wrestling action figures actually Linda McMahon although many believe she's never been released she was actually part of a $199.99 ToysRus exclusive Christmas set with a lot of other wrestlers, Vince,Shane and Stephanie McMahon were also part of this set. Want to say it was 18 figures with weapons and accessories. There's been only a couple found loose and 1 complete set showed off by an online distributor Ringside collectables.had this set in the 90s myself

[@ronmartin1375]

Agreed. And if making a video on rare toys and high prices, include the price. Kinda lazy.

[@QuentinDude]

@@historyofvideogamesandmyop2913 Theres a Hasbro Rhythm N blues Greg Valentine that is extremely rare and Zach Ryder paid over 10,000 for it. I think there are only 2 of them in existence.

About Computron, I remember going into my local Woolworths (RIP) and purchasing Strafe who was one of the arms as an individual toy. I remember the card showing on the back that he was a combiner and also showed the other pieces that made up Computron, but I never had any others. So they were available individually too.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

I'm hearing that a lot. Maybe they were sold in different formats around the world. Also RIP Woolworths!

[@vandalworks45]

@@DisplayingModelBehaviour I think so, did they have store exclusives back then perhaps? Cool video btw!

[@darthez726]

@@vandalworks45 I also had Strafe that I bought as a single carded figure. It was not a store exclusive because I bought mine at a local retailer called Richman Gordman. I had two others (Afterburner and Lightspeed I believe) that I bought as singles. The Computron set was actually quite a bit rarer (in my opinion) and it MIGHT have been an exclusive at Toys R Us. There were store exclusives way back when, but not to the (ridiculous) degree we see now. And PS- I miss Woolworths.

[@danziggy77]

This is true I remember getting the orange cycle guy on his own in the 80's also

[@inhaledfarts4221]

We must have grown up in the same area because i bought the motorcycle figure by itself when i was a kid in Irvington NJ don’t remember if it was Woolworth’s

[@SCSRdotorg]

I had those original light saber figures. I tore the tips off of the light sabers because it didn’t make sense why they were there. No regrets. Loved playing with them.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

That's the spirit my friend! As long as you enjoyed the heck out of them as a kid then that's all that matters!

[@wallyandellen5099]

I still have my two vinyl Jawa's from 1978 and the Australian version had a longer cape and a different colour than the USA version. Another Star Wars figure that was never released on card was the blue snaggle tooth, finding one with perfect silver painted boots is difficult, it also has two version of different feet. My favourites are my shogun Godzilla from 1977, I still have the two versions, one is from the USA and the other was made in Japan...also a perfect in box shogun Mazinga, never played with. Plus 1000's of others, I really need a bigger house.

I recently picked up a TMNT Hex action figure with two left feet! It may not be worth much but it’s really cool to know it escaped the assembly line!

It has to be worth something but definitely more to you

[@djayk9692]

I remember getting the Computron box set in Christmas of 1987 or 88. That set in addition to the original Devastator was the only transformers I never got rid of. I’d say my Computron is 85% complete due to missing accessories and one or two of the smaller transformers with a broken/missing head to attach with and wings busted off. I also had the 1985 complete set of Aerialbots that combined with Silverbolt.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

Man if I went to school with you I would totally be angling to always come over and play with that Transformers collection!

[@colintimp1372]

I wanted the Constructicons/Devastator so badly as a kid. Parents got me Grimlock and Insecticons instead.

Hey good job spotting Nightmares on Wax! Great background music.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

Dude that is a fantastic collection you listed there!

[@deefrash9806]

We had a vinyl caped Jawa when I was a kid, but we hated it because of the cape, so we had a second one with the cloth cape and for the life of me, I have no clue what happened to either, but if I had of known the value of a vinyl caped Jawa, I would have cherished it for sure. In regards to why the rocket firing Boba Fett was never released, was some kid choked and I think died from a rocket firing ship toy from the original Battlestar Galactica series.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

Thanks for the info Dee. You seem to be spot on about Boba Fett, lots of other folks have mentioned that being the case.

@@DisplayingModelBehaviour One of the best things I've ever seen was about 30 years or more ago it was an unopened 12 inch original "Terminator" figure that came with a "rejuvenation unit" so you could actually flay the flesh from the Terminator's battle chassis and then put it in the rejuvenation unit and rejuvenate (remould) it's flesh It was in a sealed box that was twelve or thirteen inches high and about ten inches wide There were no windows in the box and my description is from what I can remember from the box art on the outside At the time I thought this would be the ultimate unopened collectable ever

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

That's the power of nostalgia!

[@JulioMartinez-be8lx]

WOW... thank you for taking me back to my childhood. I do remember collecting the Dick Tracy and TMNT for the longest time. Back home in Puerto Rico, it was tough to get some of the figures since the supplier won’t not bring them in if it didn’t sell in the US. No internet so my mom had to call my uncles in the US give them a detailed description and then I would get the toy. I’m pretty sure these and a lot more can be found at random garage sales. You would be surprised the ton of treasures you can come across for a cheap price.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

Hi Julio, thanks so much for watching. Man it really makes me appreciate how lucky we are today with online ordering and availability. It's so interesting to hear of other peoples collecting experiences. I'm excited to get back to garage sales and see what treasures I can find!

[@JulioMartinez-be8lx]

I’m telling you garage sales around the USA are just full of surprises. Couple of years ago this guy who’s hobby is collecting old photos bought a stack of photos somewhere between Texas and New Mexico. This guy paid not even 20 dollars, but of all the pictures there was one that stood out from the rest. It was a photo that included 6 men one of them wearing a distinctive bowler hat and a lady. After consulting experts and getting the picture enhanced ..he acquired a picture that was showing Billy the Kid and the Regulators in Lincoln County when they first got together.

[@Tony-1971]

I had one of the Mego Spiderman figures back in the 70's and the Superman and Batman ones. Had the massive plastic Batmobile too for the Batman figure. My mum bought them from a huge toyshop in Sheffield called Redgates. Someone told me it was the biggest toyshop in the uk at the time. I remember it being absolutely massive with several floors to it.

[@GiggityGoo205]

When I was a kid I had all of my dads 80s Star Wars toys. I had an original millennium falcon, Yoda’s hut, a Hoth diorama, a ship from ROTJ specifically for storing the individual figures that was humongous, the slave 1, the original Luke’s Xwing, various troopers and droids and whatnot. My dad put them all in his girlfriend at the time’s house and since she literally never went there and would just stay at my dads all the time the place flooded in the winter and I lost them all.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

Ah man the longer I was reading that list of amazing figures I was just waiting for the tragic conclusion and you didn't disappoint. Flood damage! Man I'm sorry to hear that!

[@righttorecord3538]

I was a very serious collector of 1/6 figures, had over 250, some extremely rare, and a decade ago my home of 23 years burned and destroyed almost all of them. Insurance paid the going rate for each one according to ebay and other auction/sale sites. Got a good ROI, but I would rather have the toys.

[@lamontprospect9974]

Of all the figures I ever bought, the ones that have probably appreciated the most are the 12-inch sideshow Universal monsters both in color and in black and white. Of course a lot of sideshow 12-in figures sold out very quickly back in the day. I was lucky enough to get multiples of the 12-in creature from the Black lagoon in both color and black and white. I had always wished they would have made those 12 in Universal figures with glow in the dark parts kind of like the old Aurora Universal monster models.

The Cara Dune joke at the end was kind of true. A guy came to my local comic store and bought every Cara Dune figure they had, he told the owner he was buying everyone he could find. Right now people are buying them up but they aren't going to be worth crap down the road.

[@sideswipe1261]

In the US Computron was sold as 5 individual figures, as I have Scattershot! In my opinion Transformers got lazy after the epic 1986 movie, when most happened in space. Nothing had to look like anything anymore and most of the line was written off as “sci-fi” awkward hunks of crap. “How do YOU KNOW what an alien spaceship looks like?”. It took the “Robots in Disguise” completely out of the equation. Hasbro/Takara also didn’t have to worry about licensing space junk. Even though, I seriously argue, it’s the companies like Nissan, Lamborghini, Walther, Lancia, GM, Chevrolet, Porsche that should have been paying Hasbro/Takara, not the other way around. Silly humans.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

That’s so interesting, I never thought how backwards it was that the toys essentially paid to advertise the cars!

[@gerrysabron]

that was deeper than i thought, ;) .. I was thinking like 2011 Tygra, 2010 Motuc Fisto & Ram Man or Sotu unmasked Vega..always full of surprises David...wasnt able to relate except Toybiz ML, & 90s tmnt figures, but still cool picture of your generation's toys..lol!

Great video! Couple more that are pretty hard to find is the Mego Black Hole 3.75 Humanoid and S.T.A.R. figures. They were wave two of the figures that were only put out in Canada and Italy because the movie did poorly at the box office and merchandise did not sell well.

God I can't believe how many of the Mutants Ninja Turtles, Transformers and Star Wars characters I have bought my son's over the year's. Too bad we don't have the Optimism Prime anymore.

I had a Glow in the dark ghost mansion that I loved. It wasn't popular I wonder if whatever made it glow was that safe. I was a Christmas gift,1964(?) I can't really remember.

I'm brazilian and I was a kid in the 80s, so I had Vlix and all five Dinosaucers (the show was a success here) produced by Glasslite. This company also manifactured MacGyver here. Another brazilian rarity was Cobra de Aço (Steel Cobra) from the G.I. Joe line. Hard to find in mint condition, mostly because of the chromed head.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

It sounds like Brazil had a really thriving toy industry!

[@kidwajagstang]

I’m so jealous! I LOVED Dinosaucers as a kid and wanted toys related to the show. Eventually I became obsessed with ExoSquad and had a LOT of E-Frames. I still haven’t forgiven my mom for tossing them.

[@EdsterIII]

You did a great job with this 📹video🎥and it was very fun, as well as informative, and easy to follow and listen to. My one issue is however, ME! I was a 70's kid. So I had the Mego figures. Even the mail-in Kid Flash, Aqualad, Speedy, and Wonder girl. I remember getting them out of New York. I got Kid Flash and Aqualad first, then Speedy, and I broke down and got Wonder girl too. I had all of the DC and Marvel mego figures. Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, and even Sir Lancelot & the Black ⚫Knight⚫ too. My main toys were Mego, Hot Wheels, and Tyco. Then in 1978 EVERYTHING CHANGED. 🌟Star Wars!🌟 My first two were C3-P0 & R2-D2. Then Luke and Vader. Then Han & Chewie. Next Leia. But the Jawas were so hard to get initially. We had a Toys R Us down the road about 2-3 miles, and we had another smaller store Toy Country USA about 1 mile away. I can remember walking in, we knew the owner. He just sighed and pointed 👉 to the display. One of the tall racks, with multiple pegs that you could rotate in a circle. 5 or 6 pegs high 6 across. There on the middle race sat 4 Jawas. The ones with the plastic capes. I got 2 of them. I remember the joy of FINALLY SEEING THEM! Back then obviously in the 70's we didn't have media at every turn. Pictures of new figures, reviews, etc. You had to wait until you found one or a friend did. I look back at the Mego figures, playsets, Star Wars figures and playsets, and the Hot Wheels cars and tracks I had.......and lost. Just the cases of Star Wars figures I had! OMG! The first one was my favorite. It only held 24-30 figures. It had 2 trays and each had spots for 2 big guys like Vader and Chewie. 2 smaller spots for R2-D2 & R5-D4, & the middle had 8 spots for regular guys. It was set for 12 per tray. But if you tried you'd get a few more. But on the BACK of the trays there were PEGS. Pegs that your figures could be stuck on. You could have them "posed" and the pegs kept them there. It was a cool little extra. The other case was a C3-P0 that held 30 I think? And Vader who also held 30. I'm not sure. It may have been 24 each. But I loved Star Wars and the figures were my new favorite toys. The X-Wing and Tie Fighters were so cool. Luke's Landspeeder was my favorite. I loved Hot Wheels/cars/etc, so that was epic! I never got the Millennium Falcon/Han Solo's ship, and the AT-AT, the Imperial snow walker also was too pricey. I was given a choice over three toys. The Falcon ship, the AT-AT, and what I picked, the Death Star Planet Playset. It had the trash compactor, a big gun on top. 3 levels. I should have gotten the AT-AT. I can remember going out in the winter, and shoveled snow for money. Cleared driveways, sidewalks, etc. Either I'd get $2-3.00 sometimes $5.00, and one dude gave us $0.50 and he had ICE 2"thick! Cheap! LOL! We would go out and make money so we could get a Star Wars figure. Back then 1 driveway could be 1 figure. Maybe. But after a huge storm, I can remember buying 10 figures. So many memories! So many wonderful memories! Some bad as well but overall for me the 70's were amazing. Great toys, awesome times, cool people who allowed 8, 9, & 10 year old kids to make $20.00-30.00 in a week. Sadness is all of those toys are gone. Either given away, lost, stolen, foolishly left somewhere. Whatever the reasons, many memories are gone. Now that said, I NEVER have "SCALPED" toys. Meaning I have never bought figures, say Marvel Legends figures or Star Wars Black Series figures with the intent on selling them. Same with Hot Wheels. I NEVER collected or bought them to profit off them. I collected/collecting because I ENJOY IT! The memories are priceless! I've seen fights over toys. Over a case of Hot Wheels? Really? This hobby was a group of great people who love a particular franchise, organization, whatever. A 🚗Car🚗, a 🤖Robot🤖, a 🦹‍♂️🦹‍♀️Superhero🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️ , a 🧟‍♂️🧟villain💂‍♂️💂, a 🦖Dinosaur🦕, or even a 🐟🐟Fish🐠🐡. Now it's become a HUGE problem. Covid-19 created a lot of jobs lost. It also created opportunities for people to TAKE ADVANTAGE of other people! And boy do they love to do that! Sorry for the "downer" part. Your video is excellent! Thanks for sharing it with us. Take care!

[@SlashManEXE]

Rocket firing Boba Fett was never available to the public. I believe there was a high profile story of a child choking on a small toy piece at the time, which forced Kenner to scrap the feature pretty late into the design process. Only prototypes and mock-ups exist, hence the rarity

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

That makes a lot of sense. It's interesting as many folks claim to have owned him as children. It must be a Mandella affect situation! :)

[@SlashManEXE]

@@DisplayingModelBehaviour Oh it was so late into production that it was well advertised and photos of the firing rocket figure were everywhere. That's one explanation for why kids would be so familiar with it

[@kenhayward5009]

The specific toy piece responsible for choking a young boy was a rocket fired from a Battlestar Galactica vehicle. The rocket from the Boba Fett figure was about the same size, shape, and colour as the rocket fired from the BSG vehicle so I am sure that played a big role. (Just think about the legal and financial trouble they would be in if another kid got seriously hurt or worse from a toy part very similar to one that they knew killed another child.)

[@JohnB-gt8rj]

Maybe Computron was only sold as a box set in the U.K., but in the states they were sold individually as well, as were all combiners. He's no more valuable than any of the other combiners mint in box or loose.

[@christophershafer9670]

My brother and I both got a transformer one each , the only new in box bug one we ever got as kids we got for Xmas. And I got the two headed dragon from the bad guys, snd he got the big spaceship that was middle of computron. So yah they must’ve been sold separately cuz I remember him opening it

I honestly never heard of the Crimson Dawn Psylocke or silver shirted Luke Cage(power man). An awesome educational video, David. No 🐃💩. I used to have a bunch of Mego figures as a kid. If only I kept them on card.

I actually have the original G1 Optimus Prime that was painted with lead paint... still in box. We were told by Hasbro... I think that we could trade the lead paint one with a safer one. I told my mother I wouldn't play with it... so i left it in box. 30 years later cleaning up the attic I came across it... My sister had She-Ra... I remember it in her Barbi dollhouse... cool video... keep up the good work...

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

Oh wow man, that’s incredible to have still kept hold of those. Awesome find!

[@colintimp1372]

I had that Jawa as a kid. I also had telescoping lightsaber Darth Vader. The lightsaber broke quickly. Wish I still had some of them. Never had the Millennium Falcon, but did have Slave 1, a Snow Speeder and a Darth Vader display case along with a ton of figurines.

Be interesting to see what the Cara Dune figure from The Mandolrian will be worth. Apparently there is some out there there that got made prior to Gina getting fired.

[@DisplayingModelBehaviour]

This is definitely one that will be fascinating to see play out.

Makes me glad I got cara for a decent price at the same time the controversy happened with Gina. Probably one of my grail figures along with captain rex

Loved that dave, and great to see a British toy reviewer, that doesn't put me to sleep, the Americans and Australians do it so well, anyway back to the point, so I see everywhere that rocket firing boba fett is the most expensive starwars figure, however and I haven't looked for a long time, but it must have been 15 /20 years I came across a luke skywalker teliscope lightsaber, which was half size, more like a telescopeing flick knife. I believe there was only 15 ever made before they found the mistake and makes that figure rather rare, again I'm only scraping my memory on this I have not used my Google-fu before writing this reply. BTW keep doing what your doing, really enjoyed your content. Ive clocked 89 hours of KZbin In the last 7 days so concider myself a good judge of content. 👊
