What did you see in this video that you would want?

[@joerussell9574]

Everything lol :)! I had almost all those Joes as a kid....I think Zartan(blue sun guy) and the B.A.Ts were my favorties next to Cobra Commander and not to mention The Baroness....oh The Baroness such a hormonally charged teenagers dream rofl!

[@BatFan1]

Man, it astounds me how we are still finding 40+ year old toys in boxes that are in amazing condition. Its like they have a time machine and go back in time and pluck these from the toy isles at Toys R Us!

[@davidnorton2473]

I wonder if any of that stuff is fake. Todays technology, how hard can it be to do it?

[@magdump4456]

@@davidnorton2473 I'm sure it could be done but it would take a monumental effort to fake a lot of things just like it took the same monumental effort for Mattel, Kenner, Hasbro, etc to crank them out. I would think they would be countless different molds for pieces, and accessories and vehicles and playsets, faking something to that detail to appear vintage would take a monumental effort if they were going to do it and be profitable in any real way. I can at least speak for the bionitops in the box in this video ,those are 100% legit because mine is still in the box and looks 100% identical in every way. But I am sure that some things are certainly faked, But i Don't think it's very prevalent in the hobby though

Oh man, I hope the secret of how cool the Exo-Squad line is doesn't get out. I really want a complete set of the series 1 run.

[@JoeMapes]

I like the Joes. My parents got me every Joe and vehicle from 84-88. Our grocery sold joes, so I always went with mom. I still remember the day getting Storm Shadow at the grocery store. My favorite bronze age Joe was definitely Alley Viper. His shield, middle age like helmet, he was muscular, tall. Just a badass figure.

[@EgaTehPro]

The "house decorations Christmas" writing on the Star Wars box is so awesome haha! If they hadn't used that box for Christmas decorations it would have probably been thrown out!

We really played with our toys back then but man I wish I would have kept some of them in the box if I would have known. I was talking to my brother today too and bravestar was never really a thing when we were growing up around here I never saw them in the stores and never saw the cartoon on TV just very strange. Same with Exo squad I saw some of them out sometimes but I didn't know anybody who actually had them.
