I visited Lobo's for the first time today! Magnificent! Also keep up the great work Scott.

[@ScottCrusher]

Nice, I hope you found some nice additions to your collection! I'm itching to get back there when I next visit Melbourne. Thanks for the kind words Michael :)

[@michaelthornley]

@@ScottCrusher I picked up a cool Diamond Select Thanos and wife; the Thing by Toy Biz; some Dick Tracy comics and others. I hope you make it back down here soon.

[@ScottCrusher]

Very cool!! I'm planning a visit for the latter part of this year, I'm really looking forward to it!

[@charlesltk2099]

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, haven't watch that movie and cartoon show for a long time.... How nostalgic

[@ScottCrusher]

I've gotta be honest, I've never seen the film or cartoon but I just love the Food Fighters x Mad Balls vibes!🍅

[@charlosbaez717]

Great video and I’m glad to see some toys collectors shops.

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks Charlos! Agreed mate, great to see these types of stores still out there. More to come!

[@LandonBarton]

Legendary video with great pickups!

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks Landon, appreciate it bud!

[@willagnes8376]

Scott Steiner and Sid "master and ruler of the world" Justice are fantastic pick ups Scott.

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks Will, I'm chipping away at the Hasbros 1-2 figures at a time. I would have loved to have left Lobos with a shiny new Evil Crush or 1-2-3 Kid but I just can't spend $400+ on one loose figure!

[@willagnes8376]

The prices on those are insane and good for you for saying no. Not worth it.

[@SHABBYGEEK22]

Wow! Looks like you boys had a fantastic time at these toy shops Scott! Oh man, that Lobos store looks freaking amazing!! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us! Great video My friend!

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks heaps Shabby! Yeah we had an awesome time mate, happy to be able to shine a light on some of the vintage toy stores in our part of the world!

[@buffyscave9329]

Great video! Love seeing all the different toys love it :-)

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks Buffy, I really appreciate that mate :)

[@darkwolf5531]

Super Cool Hunt. Really enjoy your channel. Thanks

[@ScottCrusher]

Thank you, I appreciate that!

[@multiverse_district_45]

So good

[@ScottCrusher]

Cheers man!!

[@ReynoldsReviews]

Aw dang!!!!! Were do you start!!!! Lobos is ridiculous!!! Motu, Star Wars, TMNT! Mask!!! I think I’d be a pile of mush on the floor not knowing were to turn!😮 And right at the end a VHS copy of monster squad!!! My childhood right there!!! Sorry it’s taken me so long to get to these! I’ll be catching up with day 2 asap👌👌👌👌

[@ScottCrusher]

C'mon Luke, that's no worries at all mate, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! That was exactly our reaction at Lobos, so much toy goodness that it leaves your head spinning and overwhelmed! It's funny, while editing this video I saw things I didn't even notice while I was at the store. It's like when your view is limited what's on the screen it's easier to focus!

[@jamesward84]

Glad you boys enjoyed toy hunting across Melbourne. Another rippa video Scott! Keep ‘em coming 🤟

[@ScottCrusher]

My guy! We had an awesome time mate, glad you enjoyed!👊

[@treasuresfortrigger915]

What an awesome video! Great to see the excitement over the Dinos, especially impressed with the Kentro pick up Scott! Looking forward to the next part 🍻

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks heaps Phil! It was a Dino day for sure. Do you ever see Cadillacs and Dinosaurs in Japan mate?

[@treasuresfortrigger915]

@@ScottCrusher yeah mate I’ve seen a few about, can definitely keep an eye out for you if there are any in particular you’re after

[@ScottCrusher]

That's all good mate, I was just curious as to whether the line made it over there!

[@damonpono8337]

Going to Melbourne soon, very much looking forward to checking out some of these stores

[@ScottCrusher]

They won't disappoint Damon! If you can only get to two places, Lobos and Aron's Collectables are the places to see!

[@damonpono8337]

@@ScottCrusher Those are what I’m planning on going to, and after seeing them in your videos I now know they’re a must, also gonna check out minotaur comics for graphic novels

[@WorkoutWCArabic]

This is amazing👍👍👍

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks so much mate!

[@scubapete9500]

What a hunt!!! You can just leave me in Lobos. 😉

[@ScottCrusher]

Scuba Pete! It was a hunt for the ages my friend. I'm with you there, if I lived in Melbourne I wouldn't leave Lobos!

[@Fredhalldirectedition]

That Scott Stiner is very cool my friend

[@ScottCrusher]

Appreciate it Fred! Yep, he's a pretty sweet addition to the Hasbro WWF collection :)

[@TURBOTOYS8]

That Lobos store tho!!! Love the Hasbro pick ups! Cool to see the green carded figures!

[@ScottCrusher]

Lobos is insane, I wish I lived within driving distance haha! Yeah mate, the green card Hasbros are always cool to see, that's about as close as I'll get to them, the prices are WILD.

[@TURBOTOYS8]

@@ScottCrusher I can share your pain with the green card pricing no matter what country! Closest I’ve came is making custom versions!

[@ScottCrusher]

@@TURBOTOYS8 I don't blame you for going down the custom route!

[@PeachythePicker]

Fun Fact- Go Figure Collectables originally started with a small booth at Chapel street bazaar

[@ScottCrusher]

No way! Had no idea, what a cool origin story!

[@UsualmikeTelevision]

Amazing video of your first day in Melbourne! I am so envious you went on such a cool toy run to so many stores. Congrats on your pick ups. Great Video!

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks so much Mike! It was a great day mate, Melbourne has no shortage of toy hunting spots!

[@simonmills9523]

Great vid Scott, you and Keep on Collecting make a great team 👍👍 so much going on absolutely enjoyed it, I bet you guys had fantastic time

[@ScottCrusher]

Cheers bro, appreciate the support as always! Nothing but good times hanging out and toy hunting with the Keep on Collecting lads!🙌

[@DJVanilladream]

Damn bro u got the best music I've ever heard on a toy channel! Where do u get it from? 🎧🔥😣

[@ScottCrusher]

I appreciate that dude! All credit to Karl Casey at White Bat Audio for coming through with the goods!🔥🔥🔥

[@julwho9531]

Hi Scott another great video wish I could have been there with you and the guys😝 so many cool toys and stuff 😎 can't wait for next one 🤗

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks heaps Jul, appreciate you catching the premiere and glad you enjoyed.😊 So much toy goodness!👀

[@simonshakta9225]

Awesome mate, glad you guys managed to hit up so many places. Look forward to the thrilling conclusion with the Soma wrestling figure!

[@ScottCrusher]

Haha we didn't muck around Simon, we definitely made the most of the weekend! Are you familiar with those Soma World Wrestlers? It's funny, I had two as a kid and I wasn't impressed at the time, I pretty much discarded the figures and used the robes and belts on my Hasbros, but now I really want to find those two figures! Thanks again for the recommendations mate😎👍

[@simonshakta9225]

@@ScottCrusher I don't remember them from childhood but have come seen them a couple of times in various KZbin clips. That one at Lobos is the first one I've seen in person. I really like the soft goods. Another bootleg wrestling line I'm interested in is Wrestlers of the World. Yet to pull the trigger on any bootlegs but I suspect it's only a matter of time!

[@ScottCrusher]

@@simonshakta9225 I wasn't familiar sight Wrestlers of the World but they look pretty sick, fabric clothes and one of them looks to have tattoos!

[@simonshakta9225]

@@ScottCrusher Yeah they look awesome. Some of the names are great too. Would love to see a match between Tennessee Terry and Fearless Frenchie!

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks heaps Alvin, appreciate the sub mate! Excited to keep it going in 2023🍻

[@TheSimpleverse]

Fantastic vlog mate! Glad u and the boys enjoyed Melbourne. You can never have enough cash for a visit to Lobo's. Aaron's is a very small shop but definitely worth a visit if you're in to vintage. Great job Scott 🤘

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks Simon, I appreciate it mate! Haha ain't that the truth, tough decisions must be made at Lobos, we can't have it all! I really enjoyed Aron's; today or tomorrow I'll be dropping my vlog covering day 2 including Aron's and the Vintage and Modern Toy Fair. Thanks again Simon!

[@ryanthecollectorkid]

Mate you knocked this out of the park what An amazing epsidoe full of retro goodness and so awesome to see all the different stores you went too, as I said lobos is a black hole I think I spent over 4hrs there too 😂 and awesome pickup on the bettlejuice figure and Thankyou for the bettlejuice and toxic crusaders wax packs so cool 😎👍🏻

[@ScottCrusher]

I appreciate that Ryan, next time we do a Melourne toy hunt (hopefully next year) you'll have to join us! Walking into Lobos in 2022 gives me proper Toys 'R' Us 1990 vibes!🤪 You're welcome mate, I thought you appreciate those card packs for your collection.👌

[@ryanthecollectorkid]

@@ScottCrusher absolutely I would love to do a Melbourne toy trip or even Adelaide 😎👍🏻

[@charlesltk2099]

Awesome shops there, if I enter those shops, I won't know where to start... Love the Dino Riders figures (I'm drooling over that Scratch though, lol) (nice place you got there, BTW)

[@ScottCrusher]

That was my feeling exactly, I didn't know where to look! The Scratch and the carded Hotspot were absolute beauties!🥰

[@charlesltk2099]

However when I saw the price of Scratch, got me collapse, lol

[@ScottCrusher]

Too rich for my blood!😵💰

[@rudip5458]

Great vid Scott I have studiously written all those stores down and definitely need to head south. That Lobos store looks like the ultimate wallet sapping adventure for a collector. Looking forward to the next days adventure. Would it be fair to say Victoria seems to have most of the toy collectable stores in Australia. Cheers Rudi

[@ScottCrusher]

Thanks Rudi! Next time you're in Melbourne you have to check out Lobos. There's another amazing toy store that will be captured in the next video. Therefore as a proud Sydney sider it pains me to say it but Melbourne certainly appears to be the toy capital of Australia!

[@ZeRetroStuff]

i need that dark knight collection hangiing thing!!! never seen it!!!

[@ScottCrusher]

How cool is it!!

[@ZeRetroStuff]

@@ScottCrusher find no infos or anything about it.... i will recreate my own maybe. what is it called in english? greeings from germany

​@ZeRetroStuff I'm really not sure sorry dude, I thought it may have been a store display but I can't say for sure🤔 Thanks mate!!👊😎

[@danielcooper6033]

I have a bunch of those Monster in my Pocket cards.

[@ScottCrusher]

I LOVE those cards!🔥🔥

[@muckmanal1263]

Prices for them loose Hasbros were super high! $49 for a Scott Steiner???..can get a very clean loose one here in the UK for about £15!!! That beat up Sid would be £5 max. But grrrrrreat shop other than them prices 👍🏻

[@ScottCrusher]

Hey mate! Yeah, sadly that's the vintage toy market in Australia for you, coupled with a store that (understandably) charges full retail price. There's definitely better deals to be found at toy fairs here but sadly nothing like what you guys get in the UK. I watch toy hunting videos from collectors in the UK and am green with envy at the prices. I also love seeing the car boots as they aren't a thing here unfortunately. A few years ago I was paying a fraction of these prices for Hasbros but they're getting harder and harder to find here so unfortunately I'm having to dig deeper into the pocket!

[@muckmanal1263]

@@ScottCrusher that shop did look amazing tho 👍🏻

[@pricean]

Shame lobos doesnt have a decent website and are difficult to deal with if your in another state. The hasbro customs looked great too😃

[@ScottCrusher]

If Lobos had an online store I'd be in trouble! It's a shame though🤷‍♂️

[@ADAM_COLLECTS]

Green cards aren't on the horizon for me either mate. Lobos had BOTH Smoking Guns in that drawer and 3 other Green Card hasbro's.... damn. I'm 67/99 with WWF Hasbro's...

[@ScottCrusher]

I'm grateful to have Adam Bomb and I'm not holding my breath for the others🙄 Thanks to the Lobos finds I've cracked the 60 mark and the search goes on.🔍😁

[@jeffholt9437]

Hi Scott - what's the skeleton figure in the cabinet at 14:10?

[@ScottCrusher]

Hey Jeff! I can only assume it's a Jason and the Argonauts figure but I really don't who who made it and whether it's vintage or modern🤔

[@SoCalShaolin]

Awesome toy hunt!! Great pick ups as well!! Love WWF Hasbros. I just completed the Robin Hood line. Such cool figures. That Krang bootleg is from Columbia South American region. Lobos Collectibles was such an amazing store! I saw many grails from different toy lines. Randomly came across your video. Glad I did. I subscribed. Looking forward to to the next one. If you get a chance check out my toy hunting channel as well. Looks like we’re into the same stuff. Cheers mate from California!

[@ScottCrusher]

Hey dude! Thank you, I really appreciate that! Yep, the Hasbros are one of my favourites, super nostalgic from when I was a kid and also very fun to collect today, though they're not getting easier. Wow, that's interesting, I wonder how that Krang found its way to Australia! Appreciate you checking out my vid and subbing, I will be doing the same😎👍

[@1985Link]

How much was the Brontosaurus?

[@ScottCrusher]

I can't recall sorry buddy, but whatever it was it was out of my price range😅

[@1985Link]

@@ScottCrusherI paid $1200 for my Trex and saw there’s loose for $500 so I’m sure it would have been very reasonable, shame the tag wasn’t visible in your video bud 😢

@@1985Link Yeah I re-looked at the footage to see if I could catch a glimpse but sadly not... if you're ever in the general area I highly recommend a visit to Lobos!
