Have you ever gone back to a show for something?
It drives my wife nuts everytime đ
Yep. 3 or 4 timesđ
Yes. I turned around for a Nintendo 64 Power Glove for $50 bucks. Got about a mile away and turned around.
I have a rule, if you see something at a convention that has you thinking.. get it, because itâll be gone when you go back for it
My rule only buy what I really like and I can display.
That sounds like an expensive rule
@@elcowabungahe-man6156 Me too
Yep, I did a walk thru years ago just to see what was being sold and who was there and saw a Trapjaw classics for $35 and said I'm coming back for that and so on trip back I watched as it was bought by someone elseđą, but found a bunch of other figs. Yeah it was that early on and prices were cheaper. Back when the Columbus Toy show was at Vets memorial but now it's at the state fair grounds.
Spencer is such an awesome kid, I was so impressed by how carefully he was digging through the bins, gently placing the action figures one by one. Dan and Stina are superb parents clearly. It's such a joy listening to Dan chat to Spencer about toys and his passion that mirrors Dan's.
I'm loving the Saturday hunts.
I love the power of the force 90s figs..Been collecting them for a few years now.
I will never tire of seeing vintage Star Wars figures, and those card backs.
Those Street Sharks prices are very reasonable.
Itâs never too late to collect what makes you happy
Rad when you and your son share interests. Those chest lights were funny.
Classic Dad and son moments with Spencer. LOVE it
That McDonald's Fisher Price set is amazing. I completely understand regretting not getting it right away. My dad has told me that my youngest uncle on his side of the family had one as a kid. I've thought before that it would be cool to have a miniature McDonald's for all my little characters to go to. Since I was born in 1992, I didn't get to experience McDonald's in the 80s, but I do have nostalgia for it in the 90s and early 2000s, especially since my grandma used to take me there a lot after she got off work, and I always looked forward to getting a new toy and playing in the Play Place. Since my grandma passed away back in 2021 and McDonald's got rid of their Play Places as well as redesigning their buildings into these bland colors, it makes me kind of want a miniature replica even more. I've thought about either collecting the Fisher Price one, the Barbie McDonald's set (especially since it has the red roof I grew up with), or a custom Lego set based on it.
Nice... I am from Springfield, IL too. I was at that con and even bought some of those $5 Power of the Force figs. Woo woot
I turned it off when you asked to go back but then I came back to finish.
The McDonald's is great, kids today dont get it because there's no playground and the toys suck now.
Blessed to have been 80/90s kid đ
I would have bought that Fisher Price McDonalds in a heartbeat. As a kid I always wanted one and never found it. I have the airport, the car wash, the parking garage, the castle and a few more but the McDonalds has always eluded me.
Awesome job dan with the toy hunting vlog
Awesome sat toy convention hunting enjoyed your whatnot stream on thurs đ
Spencer in 20 years: Those ultra rare LED bootlegs, I could have had them all in one go!!!
Never stop doing the arnold voice, love it, ha!
love that pick up amazing.
Iâm writing this before watching the end of the video when you guys are driving in order to share my gut reaction. Iâm asking out loud âChristina why havenât you turned the car around yet?!?? Now back to the video
Nice pick up on the McDonald's play set!!
A Toy hunting family ? What a dream. Thanks Dan. Appreciate your videos as always.
Dream? My wife goes with me all the time.
That final.countdown rendition was amazing
McDonalds Playplace, my fav was the Mayor McCheese, where the ladder was in the middle and you could crawl around in his "mouth"
Since I'm a child of the 80's too I totally understand your nostalgia about Mc Donalds. They were a big thing back then.
Never been to a toy convention unfortunately but thanks for showing the prices
Awesome toys action figures â€â€â€â€â€đ
Great to have a toy con close to home. Means you can get those nice pickups you got. Straight into the collection and the enjoyment can continue.
I'm glad you went back! And you explained McDonald's nostalgia very well - that little playset was perfect.
I had Street Sharks toys when I was a kid, they were so cool. I'm really glad Mattel is bringing back the Street Sharks (hopefully they'll do the same for Extreme Dinosaurs in the future).
Back when McDonalds was so much fun compared to today where it's just a boring box restaurant now.
$155 for a Power Droid is psychotic.
That McDâs play set is KEVIN SMITHS favorite toy from childhood, he still owns it! Surprised you didnât mention that Dan! Kevin, Motu, hello!
I actually just sold my McDonalds complete at of of my past toy shows
My mindset with vintage Star Wars and Street Sharks is patience
Nice vid It's really great You chatting your family and the info about toys and collecting Always cool đđ€
When I was little McDonald's was like a vacation for lunch, so it's cool you picked up that playset very nostalgic.
Collecting Star Wars stuff does seem daunting.
I remember seeing a toy bin in the 80's stacked full of Empire Strikes Back figures for only fifty cents each. At least 100 of them. Tried to convince my parents to buy some and put them in storage, but no... They didn't believe me when I said those things would be worth a fortune in the future
Thanks Pixel Dan for this great video and showing us the mcdonald's playset, it's awesome! Stay heavy and blessings đ€
I had the McDonaldâs and also there is a Holiday Inn playset as well. I had so much fun with those and plan on getting them and the Fisher Price Castle back
Mac and the Noid hanging in Mcds together! â€ïž
The $155 for a gonk droid with an old torn cardback is nuts. Just get Gonk man. Heâs cheap and great loose.
I was at a Quadcon. The vender who had the giant MUSCLE MEN also had a basket full of affordable Ultraman finger puppets, which I bought a lot of.
WOW a wild Freefall(first and fav Joe figure), you never see him in the wild. Plus a Dodger WITH his headset mic would have love to see how much they had him for.
Yeah trips to McDonalds used to be so special. Mom and dad would go stand in line and the kids would run and stare at those big displays with the happy meal toys. Still vividly remember going to McDonalds when I was 3. Time got away from mom so she packed my sister and me up and off to McDonalds. Older sister went to the Happy Meal display and I hung back with mom. Don't remember the what Happy Meal I got but I do remember the 63' bright green Corvette. Love that thing and still have it.
Great video! Love that you picked up the McDonalds play set! Would love to see you complete it as you continue to your toy hunts!
Power of the Force 2 is my jam đ I think I'm only missing two or three figures from the line!
McDonald's was big in the 80's and early 90's. It was like a lifestyle. And I loved the commercials, especially the Mac Tonight. Do kids have love of McDonald's today like we did? McDonald's got rid of their mascots, and I don't hardly ever see any commercials. And they got rid of their playpens. The Big Mac is still my favorite fast food burger.
Yeahy I went back. It was gone lolz
Great video đ
I feel like I had that play set as a kid seems like I remember playing with it as a kid
The time to buy is when you see it, because its like I tell everyone "its there until it ain't"!
Didnât realize you were from Springfield, me too! Moved away a long time ago, but still go back to see my parents. Toy shopping there is kinda slim pickings these days.
Yeah I want some vintage Kennet star wars but yeah that train passed now them prices can't justify in this economy
I once went to a comic-con in Germany and there was a NECA ED-209 that I was eyeing, and I figured I'd get it later in the day cuz it was more expensive than online in the US, but it was sold out online other than Ebay... Went back to look at it again and it was GONE! đ I asked the sales guy and he said he didn't have anymore. I was kicking myself all night about hesitating. The next morning I went back to the same seller to see what else he had, and he had another ED-209! (I think there was a language issue the day before since he didn't speak English and I didn't speak German) I snatched it up without hesitation!
So yeah, I get the whole "will you regret it?" internal struggle. Never again! Congrats on the McDonald's!
Great finds Dan!! Love the red card xizor
Congrats. I passed one up last week and second guessed it. Gotta stay focused! đ
I was able to collect the street sharks and extreme dinosaurs lines before they went up. Not complete but to the point I have all the characters I wanted. The MechaShark is Jaw some!
@pixeldan why not just enjoy collecting the whole POTF line over the next few years?
It's cheap and gives u those nostalgic feels!â€ïž
I hear you pixel dan. I collect vintage Leia Star Wars figures. I want a 78 original Leia on card but the last one I saw was $500. So yeah vintage Star wars is intimidating to get in to.
Never too late
Nice pick up! I need the snake to jake too I wouldâve probably pull the trigger on that one also. Thereâs another McDonaldâs playset. The 1974 playskool I saw it at a flea market and it caught my eye I was almost about to buy it but I didnât. Just because I donât really collect that far back but it really pulled the nostalgia strings for me kind of wanted to get it.
I went back into 1993 Jurassic park itâs up there but still affordable⊠it was the Hammond collection that got me in ⊠ever need questions on Jurassic let me know
My hometown was Peoria, and heard the same con organizer does this show all the central IL and Iowa cons. I saw you at Joe Con... And maybe I'll see ya at a IL quad con sometime!
The WWF hasbro line is one I've been collecting for years still missing some of the more pricey guys but definitely one of my favorites especially the ones with accessories like Jake the Snake
Talk about intimidating lines⊠I just started collecting G1 Transformers 2 years ago and popy chogokin this year. MY WALLET HURTS! lol
I'm glad there are others that appreciate 80s McDonald's as much as I do! It's a shame what it turned into today.
Jake the Snake will be at quad con Peoria next week!
@pixeldan u only have to collect like 96 star wars figures total. U can do it. I believe in u
Whose with me that Hasbro needs to give Shadows of the Empire some Black series love? A bunch of great characters and one importnant to Return of the Jedi battle that only Luke survived. The death star 2 plans were acquired in this tale.
my cousins had that when we were kids and remember that set. there are things missing. I remember a sign on the square of the front corner.
Those prices are insane.. toy stores in Youngstown Ohio have the best prices for sure.
Hey Dan! Just wondering if this second channel was due to the analytics messing with your regular stuff? I love watching ty hunt videos and have done quite a few on my channel but they never do as well as my regular review content.
Some of the Kenner Star Wars figures with the cardbacks had the wrong blasters
Great price on that McDonalds, those are really expensive!
There in a new kinkumen movie on Netflix I think coming soon
Had no idea you live in Springfield. I live in Chatham. You going to Peoria this weekend?
"That's a nice price".....code for 'too much, put it back'.
Your smile and your colorful shirts make you look young. @33:03 when you went back to the toy show and you weren't smiling, you look like a grandpa.
The Hasbros had pretty decent prices except razor was stupid expensive. The chain definitely doesnât make that much of a difference.
Also, didnât realize you lived on Springfield. My wife grew up and Chatham and my inlaws still live there. Chatham/Springfield is a nice area.
I have seen those Ben 10 bootlegs all over the place, a lot of people buy them from Temu and then try to re sell them, and when you compare them with the originals you notice even more differences, that Steam Smythe has all of his colors just a little bit wrong, like they couldn't get the exact same colors at the factory
Did you pre order the technodrome from Amazon?
Was the Razor a Funskool?
Your wife is a Saint.
Did you pre-order the Playmates Technodrome Amazon exclusive?
Looking for the comment pointing out, that. That was 'Great Mazinger' not 'Mazinger Z' đ
I really hope your doing a tmnt book at this point, I just picked you a splinter from 92 with a red tail and can't place it anywhere
I believe Xizor is pronounced "She-Zor" ;P But great vid, the prices on stuff at these cons make me hurt every time I see it. That McDonald's set is great though, I actually remember playing with that very same set at my grandma's growing up.
Zee-zor
đđđ§
I the tea guy you should have got him and sent him to solo Promotor so he could have a giant mr tea from go fight pow
5:04 that vintage Power Droid is way over priced itâs not even a cool figure in my opinion lol đ
The majority of those Kenner Star Wars were way overpriced!
Yeah thatâs a $20 figure and maybe a $15 cardback
Wow some Kinnikuman. Teacup man RiP got a hole punched in his chest and then head broke off and drank from. Warsman was brutal.
Wow stunned at that but know what to spot if any one i know wants to get into ben10.
Springerfield hometown. Hmm đ iykyk
Its a shame that McDonalds had to remove all the characters and theming they had in the 80's due to goverment regs and child obesity rules / promoting healthy eating.
Even here in the UK, as a late 80's and early 90's kid, McDonald's was the best.... Especially if you was lucky enough to have your birthday party there đ
@@manraisedbypuffins9080 Cant imagine anyone wanting to have a birthday party there now, its a shadow of its former self. That green, black, brown theme doesnt work
âStinaâs a saint.
Prices not amazingâŠway too expensiveâŠ
155 dollars for Chewie and the card?? Total rip-offâŠas are many of those.
The prices at this show were insane. Dan and I missed each other while walking around, but even I kept looking at prices and thinking, jesus...that is expensive EVEN for a show!
When reviewing Street Sharks it's not awesome, it's Jaw-some. Jaw-some was Street Sharks' catch phase
FIRST! AGAIN!
News to all the SW Star Wars line figures will be dropping value in the next 10yrs studies show SW is on its way out with what Disney has been doing with the Brand 5yrs from now is going to be an ugly scene, if you think because of Disney being the main one destroying the brand name your Wrong it's because today's generation plainly doesn't care or watch enough to get to want to understand the brand as there more occupied with stuff you aren't into, FACT!
Crazy to think with in 3 generations what we collect and cherish as gold Future Generations will never look at it that way as we look at, it happens a lot through time periods of generations. 30 40 years from now you'll be an old man and be out maybe and see an old action figure that at this time sold for $215 and see it sitting at a bargain bin for only $3 will blow your mind as I see it all the time, you'll understand later down the road what I mean.
A grown man?âŠ..
pixel Dan dod you used. to be. apro. wrestler? Fun. video. sir. have a. great. weekend
Now you need all the little people and accessories to that McDonalds.
