TOY HUNTING with Pixel Dan at Bric-a-Brac Records and Toys in Chicago

[@danarchy8276]

I can’t wait for this project of yours, TMNT needs the type of care and detail you put into to your MOTU book.

[@geekyvixen]

That's one of my favorite spots in town. I love Jen and Nick, and the shop is the coolest.

[@danielrecommends]

I love the variety in that store. So many great properties represented. Nice pick ups Dan!

[@franciscorodriguez3582]

That is a pretty cool shop I was there last week Nick is pretty cool and his wife Jen is nice they're good people

[@yenrab2281]

Can't wait for your TMNT book! The community needs one. We also need a misc one that covers other lines like Thundercats, MASK, COPS, Sectaurs, etc etc etc etc.

[@Yojonbo]

These toy hunting videos make me so so happy and make me want to start my own channel. Thank you for these and being a positive voice on this hellscape of a site.

[@skabcat242]

Seeing those vintage tmnt figures brought back some good memories.

[@ninjacrypt5795]

Super awesome, great store , and great finds 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@MrRobk270]

Great store! I especially loved the vintage Taco Bell thank you sign.

[@mostafafarweez3161]

WOW, What an Awsome store, and love he VHS and cassette tapes :)

[@theartisanrogue]

This is a rather cool looking store! Thanks for sharing/filming it!

[@SEEshadow]

Toys of TMNT!!!! Nice!!!

[@brollicon]

I had the sewer playset as a child. I loved the playset and figures

[@markheadley125]

Awesome toys 😎 👍

[@KyleSouthcomb]

I live in the Chicago suburbs and will definitely check this place out! Thanks Dan!

[@vadertronstoychest]

wow what a gem of a shop

[@8-bitretro628]

Amazing pickups. Great video, loving the music

[@vengeance1701]

That TMNT magnet stuff is done in the style of a lot of the early promotional art for the toys.

[@joeleustice]

Cool... so Dan is working on another book...

[@monchizs3473]

Cool

[@TommyGarvey]

I've collected vintage Star Wars for 30 years. I never thought I'd live to see the day that a loose incomplete Madine would be $16. :/ The Sigma ceramic figurines are cool though. Sigma did some really unique and awesome stuff during the vintage era. My absolute favorite is the Luke on Taun-Taun teapot. I think that thing is absolutely amazing! And compared to many other vintage items, still reasonably priced.

[@jlabdesign]

Awesome store!

[@hangrymooseandsharkplushpr4365]

One of my most wanted tmnt figures is hot spot

[@davecardoza4762]

Man, the LOD/ Road Warriors action figures are so cool & the Motu, even better. Cool store to check out.

[@velvetplatz1024]

Ahhhhh!! What a RUSH!!

[@charlesshadid1890]

That's what Mattel needs to do next with masters of the universe, make a mighty max version of castle grayskull and snake mountain. What are your thoughts?

[@kuitaranheatmorus9932]

Dope

[@radartechnicianbob8208]

Always cool to see you coming across vintage TMNT stuff on your toy hunts! Loved that MK animated VHS back in the day too. I seem to remember MK3 codes or whatnot in certain parts of that one.

[@kelseystickney8663]

That was a shelf shaped like an arcade cab. Never seen that before; I know what I'm making this weekend . . .

[@impossiblepie]

10, 15, or 20 years from now I wonder of these types of stores will still exist, I hope so.

[@macaco2]

Lets go 😀

[@loganjorgensen]

I just got a lot of Real Ghostbusters, I really like that line too, and still have some of my vintage Aliens. ;) Nice to see some fringe merchandise like stickers and such. Cards are always a good impulse buy when visiting stores like that. And a bargain bin, bless them. :) I love Polly Pocket, was just looking at new ones, they have some old format scale again. Actually a lot of cool toys in that miniature scale historically. I think that's a great idea too including vintage media, great place and context to sell that kind of stuff. What no Cabbage Patch, me I'd just be curious what's on there? ;) Yeah quite the decor, lot of love put into that.

[@vengeance1701]

That old Taco Bell sign they have up is great, too.

[@residentvania7733]

I remember that MK VHS 📼. I used to have it when I was younger. Been ages since I seen it. Awesome pickup!

[@Hankdaaatank]

I have been watching since 50k

[@MrLurchsThings]

Just watching this and thinking about your other toy hunting videos; one thing I never seem to see is Inspector Gadget. Was Gadget not popular/available in the States? The large one with all the accessories is an amazing toy and was really popular (although kinda expensive) back in the day here in Aus.

[@scottstalcup6980]

Should've got on the Reagan and drove an hour West. The DeKalb branch of Graham Cracker Comics is consistently mind-blowing.

[@williamrandall9502]

You should visit Toy Hunters in Ontario Ohio. Tell Tony I sent you!

[@russbrewer2778]

Should have gone to Quake Collectibles

[@Takeshi357]

4:57 I think those might be from Fist of the North Star. Most of them seem to be just random mooks but the guy in the middle with the long slick hair looks just like Shin.

[@Vancegeoffmen2]

Good share.. I remember Colt Cabana mentioning Brickabrack in some of his podcasts. I'm surprised that in your travels to Chicago, you haven't ever brought up Rotofugi.

[@Convoy00X]

You put those magnetic on the VHS tape!

[@williamtew3693]

Great video Dan, Keep it coming bro, love watching you're videos

[@Caleb.Collects98]

If you are ever in the Sevierville, TN area go check out B&C Toys and Collectibles in the Great Smokies Flea Market and there's another flea market down the road called Flea Traders Paradise, that one has Triple C Toys in it (Jordan is a great guy and I think you guys have talk a couple times about you coming down to check out the booth).

[@joshua2814]

When I get to a place that had a good selection of toys and records, it’s like torture and I usually have to decide which aspect of collecting I’m going to focus on that day (or risk losing the patience of the people I’m usually there with not to mention all my money).

[@AutomaTom1939]

Nice! I live in the west 'burbs, and I should definitely check out more of the toy stores downtown. It's hard to get motivated because of how bad traffic and parking is, though. :)

[@KirksCORNER-1983]

Wanna see VINTAGE ARAH GI JOES

[@shawnortiz374]

Man I literally almost went here last week, we went to Chicago for spring break. Ended up going to reckless records instead, it was closer to things that everyone wanted to do. I’m gonna totally wish I had went here instead after I watch this video lol wish I had see this sooner.

[@shawnortiz374]

Yep should have gone there lol 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@thenotontvshow1928]

What were those keshi wrestler guys?

[@eriks1385]

I got 15 inch jumbo skeletor for sale... almost the same on this video

[@jinpei05]

Hey, have you ever been to Ka-Pow!! Collectibles in Chicago? It's pretty tiny but it's quite awesome. Definitely check it out if you haven't been before!

[@vengeance1701]

Those Mini Fruits....god, I remember those!

[@vengeance1701]

Usually at places like Card Gallery and Service Merchandise.

[@hulksmash8159]

Shows Sailor Moon but not G.I. Joe...big fail for Dan.

[@jdioramasjdioramas2814]

I live in Chicago , we could have met up

[@eltenda]

That's a cool store! Next time you're in Chicago u need to come to visit my collection and after that go to geek toy hut my local toy shop

[@peony2569]

U laugh i got vintage red iine hot for charity donations i get yelled at my PK atentsboth left meim antiques storeslilage but treated awfully toysdont make money

[@jasonmoore8765]

Hmm I know it's April fools but if you really are working on a TMNT book it would be amazing! It's just hard to trust anything I see or read today 🤣

[@dmc362]

I with you on this. Would love for it to be real. Would lay down my money right now even if is 2 years away.

[@joshua2814]

Dan has confirmed the book is in the works way before today. He's been working on it for a while already. I'm on his Patreon and I know he's confirmed it there. I'm also not April fooling.
