You do get a great feeling from that place it's really cool and Hella good stuff.
Yeah, you never know what and who you're gonna come across 👍
Cool vid mate
Cheers! 🤘
😉👌🏼💙
🤘🤘🤘
This looks like a really good day out. So many stalls! Thanks for posting!
Gutted I missed this show but hopefully see you at sandown 👍
Yeah should be at Sandown 👍
Thanks for the kind words dude great to see you and awesome to see some cool bits in this video I missed. Toy crusader just got a follow on Instagram! 😅
Cheers Theo! 🤘 Only recently came across Toy Crusader myself but Gary has been really helpful 👍
The heart of the UK?? Really!!!
Ha ha!! Yeah, maybe that is a bit too much, but it is central 👍
Just say England that what you really meant!
Good show anyway thanks
Great video VTR, I was very tempted to go along myself, but decided not to. Next time I'll make more of an effort! It's a shame, that the Barry Potter fairs used to have a few each year in my home town, but for some reason stopped.
Hey Dez, it would be great to meet up at the NEC 👍 Seems a few fairs are struggling with the costs. Now, I just wish I hadn't picked up a bug too - this one being persistent!!
You have to go for the early bird entry it gets so busy later on it’s hard to have a good look at the stalls. I was there early but didn’t see you otherwise would have had a chat. Some great pick ups there👌 I managed to pick up the Action Force command centre, and telephone set for my collection.
Completely agree, early bird is the only way to go, and everyone else now thinks that too 😎 I saw both of those pieces, congratulations on grabbing them 🤘Hopefully we can meet up next time 👍
The Early Bird at least gets you early item access, but yes, still very crowded! Great work covering this giant show. Those Super Naturals & Visionaries carded figures look good along with those MASK boxes and more. Nice bronze D&D Dragon. Logray was a favorite Ewok, cool to see it there carded. Captain Scarlett vintage Yogurt, ha, I guess it's packed with even more bacteria cultures now. SlimeHouse's monsters collection is great, yes. Cool Lego Lamborghini. Nice Rambo items and Cloud Cars. Nice, thanks Dave! Feel better soon.
Yeah, early bird still the way to go - I can't imagine not using it. There's no doubt though collecting is much more popular than it was say 5 years ago. Plenty to see this time, but you've got to be committed to collect the Yoghurt 🤣 Thanks, and unfortunately the bug is kicking butt today 😞
@@VintageToyRush Thanks, Dave! When I feel ill, I usually put on a lot of blankets and sweaters to stay very warm and then just rest the whole day watching TV. The extra warmth usually is the key for my fast recovery, though everyone is different.
Hope you complete the Coleco Rambo Savage Strike HQ Dave.Cant wait to see it.
Might be a little while before it's fully complete 🤣 Can't wait myself as I think it will display really well 👍
Lots of great stuff, yeah Mego did some interesting magnet toys bitd.😄4:57 Actually picked up that cartoon Beetlejuice recently, first time with BST AXN, bit of a mixed bag, nice sculpt, decent pricing, with some good and bad articulation heh. 9:41 Hope nobody tries to eat those lol.🤢 Nice pickups, some nice Rambo bits.🙂
Hey Logan, that Beetlejuice is a great pickup! I don't have any myself but love the film. It's amazing what you find at these fairs - vintage Yoghurt is definitely a niche area of collecting 🤣 Hopefully, will complete the Strike HQ one day, there's so many accessories in that set!! 🤘
Nice little video that
Great insight into the toy fair
First time viewer here
Pretty sure I’ve heard your name mentioned on Reynolds Reviews
Thanks! 🤘 Welcome to the channel and yeah Luke and I know each other - he has a great channel 👍
NEC looks awesome Dave, thanks for bringing us with you mate, thoroughly enjoyed!
Thanks Scott! 🤘 Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Looks like a great show Dave! Thanks for taking us around.
Cheers GForce!! 🤘
Great bumping into you Dave. Some nice finds. Get well.
Cheers Matt! Bug is kicking butt today 😔
Brilliant video mate! Some amazing peices there. 👀👀👀🤩🤩🤩😉👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Andrew! Always something to see at the NEC 👍
I really enjoyed the narration over the fair footage. Keep up the good work Dave!
Thanks Flux!! 🤘 It takes some extra effort to narrate but I think the result is more interesting than the usual fair videos 👍
Nice video dude :) - I need to get the next NEC
Cheers Adam!! Yes, do it!! You'll love it 👍
On ZSR last Friday. I was talking about one of my favorite toys as a kid. It was the Moonraker space space gun. And at 8:04 in your video, there it was! Still boxed too!!! Wow! That really was a blast from the past.
Nice pickups at the end Dave but did you not find an Action Man Horse?
Still, great video and get well soon my friend!
Hey Shabby, you can't beat that Moonraker gun!! I love it so much I picked one up several years ago from the same guys and it's been on the Bond shelf ever since 👍 Ha ha, now the horse I decided to skip on but it must have been.a sight watching two guys holding and comparing a load of horses 🤣 Trying to recover, but this bug is kicking butt!!
@@VintageToyRush get well soon my friend
NEC looks awesome, however meeting the other creators, followers and sellers is as much fun as the toy hunting. Cool pickups Dave, love the Rambo line. Well actually most of that vid was plastic porn 😅❤😊
You're not wrong there - it took ages to visit all the stalls as I spent most of the time having chats with everyone 🤣 Another Rambo fan! Awesome, I've done a few Rambo vids 👍
@@VintageToyRush yes yes, ive watched, i think, a mail opening, where you had purchased some on card series two figs 😁👍 They're so super hard to find in Oz. But i have a few to make me smile every time i see them there. You probably dont realise i use to watch your unboxings all the time, so was a tad sad when u stopped 🤣👍
@@keeponcollecting no didn't realise that 🤣couldn't keep that going as I was holding onto parcels for months before opening them 😎
Awesome Dave! What a fair that looks!! Gotta get there in October! Tonnes of MASK, Star Wars, Centurions, and Rambo goodness, looks like you had a great day.
I really hope you feel better soon pal 🙏
Cheers Luke! You have to attend one of these toy fairs - you'll love it!! It's Echo times 10 👍 Only problem is, you'll start collecting a bunch of new lines 🤣 Trying to recover but bug is battling hard
That looks like a great toy fair, but I think I'd find it too overwhelming, and I'd constantly be thinking "what am I missing on the other 500 tables"! Glad you had a good day Dave, although those General Madine figures were definitely following you.
Thanks for posting dude! 👍🐵
Cheers Dave! 🤘 Usually, I'll do a fast lap to start with, then take it easy after that. But this time, I didn't even make it round all the stalls before the early bird finished. Just took it easy and chatted with everyone on the way round 🤣 I keep seeing Madine even at home - maybe I have the problem 😎
Looked like a fantastic day out Dave, You met some great people and pick up some crackers. Playing with the idea of heading over for the October one. Unfortunate about the bug and I hope you are on the mend.
Hey Conor, I hope you make it over. Would be good to meet up again - sounds like a few others are also gonna make the trip. It's a great fair and I'm sure you'll find some treasures 👍 Bug is fighting hard today unfortunately.
Hi, just subscribed to your channel. I don't know what the time difference is in England but my livestream show is every Monday night at 8 PM est. This coming Monday I'm interviewing a Brit who now lives in America and we are going to be talking Action Man vs GI Joe. It would be great if you could join us. Either live or in chats. Thanks
Hi Paul, thanks for the sub. Unfortunately that'll be in the middle of the night for me, but will definitely watch on replay 👍 Have a good one!!
@@VintageToyRush Well I guess we will need to change a future livestream show so we can get you on live one day. Keep me posted when a good date and time would work. Paul
Great pickups Dave and it looked like an enjoyable fair. Hope to get over for at least the next NEC fair later this year. Hope the bug passes and thanks for sharing, cheers!
Cheers Jeff! 🤘 Would be great to meet up if you do make it to the NEC 👍 Unfortunately, the bug is kicking butt today 😞
Absolutely Dave and I hope you blast that bug!
Great video Dave, always enjoy seeing the stalls and various prices. A procession of Madine! 😂 Hope to make it to a toy fair this year, beginning to try and complete the original 96 Kenner figures.
Hey Scott! Hope you make it to a toy fair soon but watch out for that Madine!! and good luck completing your 96 run 👍
Another great video Dave. Really cool seeing all those vintage action man goodies, I'm working on a custom Mandalorian uniform for my own Action Man at the minute.
Hope the bug soon passes, could be from over-exposure to all those General Madine figures 😂
Thanks! 🤘 Your custom sounds amazing, would love to see a photo of that when it's finished. Unfortunately, the bug is kicking my butt today - it's definitely Madine fever 🤣
Hi Dave, do you have an email I can send a pic of "Action Mando" to? I don't have twitter or instagram sadly 🙂
@@FraDonaghyMusic awesome! there's an email address on the about page of this channel - click on the 'View email address' button 👍
Its just a bronze dragon…now if it was a tiamat😅
Ah, so probably made the right decision then!! Will look out for Tiamat 🤣
I army build General Madine.
That's next level 😎 I'll stick with one 🤣
@@VintageToyRush It’s an acquired taste. 😆
were you the guy on tsot
Yeah, I was on one of their episodes 👍
@@VintageToyRush remember it well great collection
thanks 🤘
I hope the Mysterons made that Low Fat Yogurt indestructible. 🤢
Indeed, that's some niche collecting going on there!! 😎
