Do you think his son will be upset when he sees this video? (What he gave us, given the incomplete is worth $3000. When he came back in the next week with the completed parts, as mentioned in this video, we gave him another $1000.)
I would lol
If his son said get rid of then i guess so. He will be kicking himself later
Yes. He basically gave it away!
Unfortunately yes
Probably not. He said he didn't want it 5 years ago and still hasn't changed his mind. It's all amazing for us but Some people do move on from vintage toys.
He said he didn't want it 5 years ago and still hasn't changed his mind. It's an amazing collection from our POV but some people do move on from vintage toys.
This was a robbery
This collection is definitely worth about 4k to maybe 5k, I feel like they should’ve offered a bit more. I know there were some parts missing but they were in great condition. And you know the shop probably had a lot of the missing parts. That dad had no clue what he had. If his son, who owned the toys came in he would’ve definitely got a better offer
He came back with the parts and we gave him $1000 for them.
Video?
The store invested just 1500 on what will eventually fetch 8-10K in sales. The G1 Megatron boxed could fetch a grand alone. I would of offered the guy 4K sterling and paid shipping to the UK for that treasure chest.
@@maxvideoentertainment8706 that megatron would not fetch over 700 hundred. One sold on ebay for 510 a few days ago. None of those toys were mint or complete. Sure some had boxes but thats doesn't counter missing pieces and played with condition. At best over a period of time the shop might make 5 to 6 grand in sales. After a 2500.00 investment minus the cost of space, listing paying employees, store, and taxes the store might pull 3 to 4 thousand profit. Not the gold mine people imagine it is.
@@maxvideoentertainment8706 the store invested 2500.00 in what might be close to 5000.00 in sales. So 2500.00 profit after sales. Then he has to factor in paying rent, utilities, business insurance, federal, state and city taxes, employee salaries. If he sales on ebay then tack on ebay fees. Money also goes towards buying more inventory for the shop. Then as the shop owner he gets what ever is left for himself after all that. Not such a big goldmine everyone thinks it is.
That megatron is the most valued thing in that lot. One in box sold on ebay March 30 for 510.00. So no, the megatron is not worth 1000.00. The box was rougher but the one in the video wasn't mint either. None of those toys were mint.
That kid was lucky to have that many Star Wars stuff in the late 70’s early 80’s. I would have been envious.
I love this old guy and his passion for, if not the toys, just that he's been holdin on to these bits of plastic so long he wanted them to go to a good home.
Pretty shocked at the the number of people who don’t understand the difference between the market value of an item to an end-purchaser (ie a collector) vs the value a reseller will pay to save you the hassle of finding the market (eBay, conventions, swaps, Facebook etc) and still sell it profitably after overhead.
While items may change from country to country, that AT-AT alone is worth around $500 here. The Tiger Fly gets around $200+,. The Heli Fighter is around $400. The Megazord (in box) around $400, Pretenders in box around $250, The megatron for around $600 (Possiby more as this is like new and in box). That's not even a quarter of the stuff! I understand that you need to make a profit as you are obviously going to re-sell this stuff but that is some serious low balling there.
that's why it's never worthit to sell lots if you after good cash. but most probably this guy just wanted to get rid of everything, and in that case you will always get less dough
@@mopkrayz He still ripped him off. He knows it too.
This is why I love your channel and store… man came in with ZERO idea what he had and yall were so upfront and honest about what he had and what it was worth
They completely ripped him the fuck off, you’re crazy.
That’s low key kinda sad that he said “if I’ve seen him 12 times in 25 years it’s a lot” you can tell he loves his son he keeps mentioning him
Dude you rook the words right out of my mouth!!! if that was my father I'd take all those toys just because of the fact that he held on to the for me all those years!
@@emmanuellopez5037 yeah it’s just one of those things his son hardly ever sees him obviously I don’t know their situation but he seems like he cares for his son he’s bragging on him being in the military and he cared enough to keep all his childhood toys and once his dad is gone there’s no getting that time back ya know man
“I don’t know what this stuffs worth” like blood in the water to a bunch of sharks
lol IKR....never, ever say that...I think maybe he was afraid it was all worthless and they were going to laugh at him or something.
Many people that say that are lying. The old play dumb routine.
That line doesn't hold water any more. Anyone with a smart phone can take a picture of anything and automatically finds its varying values online.
The best part of waking up (on a Saturday).... is toy federation in your cup!
Shut up
I know TF has to do their thing, I mean, in my head I thought maybe around 4-5K for the whole lot, so they were going to offer him half that. Had the MASK figures been complete with helmets the value on those would have been greater, but without really seeing everything in detail can't know for sure how complete everything was.
The SW lot alone I thought would be valued at around 1K total.
Not to mention the clean G1 Megatron, no stickers applied and still on the sheet will likely sell for around 1K as well.
If the gentleman ever came back with more of the accessories to complete what he already brought in I think that would bump up the overall value of the haul to a more favorable offer.
He came back with the parts to complete some stuff and got another $1000
@@toyfederation awesome!
An auction guy did exactly the same thing to my mother. Ripped her off as didn't have a clue
We didn’t rip him off
@toyfederation OK I missed the part where you gave him another 1000 a week later. That's my bad and I apologise
@toyfederation oh yes you did
The Megatron was amazing. Stickers still on the sheet. That was probably half the value.
Damn this father loved his son. Kept everything in damn near pristine condition
$1500 sounds a little light for what appears to be loads of quality toys. Any clarity on why?
Because the already had all the stuff and staged it. This way they can make it appear that "this is the fair price" to gullible people. Also to be fair, a lot of the stuff isn't quality. People want mint condition or in box and all accessories. Unless it's super rare it won't go for that much like the star wars stuff.
It all comes down to "overhead" on keeping the shop open.
Overhead doesn't matter on the vintage stuff like that, it will always sell whether in store or on Ebay but it was not that bad a deal.. the guy looked like he wanted more though.. probably should've gave him 2k since the stuff looked clean but hard to tell just from the video
He came back with the parts to complete some stuff and got another $1000
@@toyfederationso you keep saying.. got the vid of that? Or just "trust me bro" and even IF that's true, still way too low for what you deceptively took from that guy, and you know it! Unsubscribed!
That's in 12:00 is 'Exin Castillos', Exin was a brand from here, Spain, funded in late 60s and get bankrupt in early 90s. That was my childhood in the 80s, I had several of those castles. I think the brand came to Mexico too, but it was a spanish thing mostly. It's weird that man had that. So many memories.
I love watching this era of stuff, brings back some good Christmas memories as a kid. 👍🇬🇧👍
Seems like everyone saying they ripped this guy off is saying they shoulda gave the guy 2k. That’s $500 more than the $1500 they gave the guy. But we have to take I. Consideration that they are an “SHOP” and they have to pay rent and it’s gonna take time to sell those toys. Now if they were “COLLECTORS” that be a different story. And I think you are all looking at it from a collectors point of view.
Going to take a lot of time to prepare it to sell it as well.
everyone saying he was robbed is crazy. he sold all of this in one day with little effort at all. is it worth more than he got yeah. if he wanted to find private buyers for every piece and do the leg work he would have gotten more. the store doesnt stay in business without turning a profit. and it might take months or years to sell certain items. i think it was fair. that customer would have sold that stuff for 500 and every employee knew that. they gave him 2500 total thats not a great deal but fair.
I estimate there was well over $10,000 in toys there…
@@chexnfx7161yeah, it was a stiff price, and had it been me I would’ve asked for more just based on the fact that four of them were hovering about the haul like vultures at a dead man’s picnic. Still it’s a lot of work and time to sell every piece and realise fair value, especially if don’t know what you have, and if the man walked away happy because he ain’t into toys, welp…. I want that walker, what an amazing piece!
That Star Wars attic collection is brilliant.
I’m so glad the father decided to bring these in . He must’ve been a great father .
You were very very fair with the fella, he wasn't sure what everything was worth, and you have to sell it to make a profit (hence a store). He was very happy.
I love watching Ryan dig and talk about the toys they take in on the floor like how we all used to play with our toys..
What a genuinely sweet guy, and awesome dad to boot. Another great vid Toy Federation!
Sorry, but I don’t believe him. The toys are all collector grade and perfectly preserved. He’s a collector and he’s ashamed to admit it.
If he's ashamed, he needs to grow up. Nothing wrong g with collecting value.
Yup
Im 40 its a shame i think once my generation is gone i don't think toy collecting will be what it is now anymore
Just casually resting his arm on top of the comic books. 😆
I guess you can do that when you bring in the vintage goods. 😆
As a toy collector I love this channel.i would hang with these guys all day and look at what toys people bring in.
I feel like $2000 was on the screen when they mutually decided to not offer that much
3000*
I feel like this guy just got robbed
Ya some of that star wars stuff was in great condition and that Megatron ...I thought this would be like a lot more
He came back with the parts to complete some stuff and got another $1000
Poor old man. Got taken advantage of.
Stores gotta pay for staff, bills, etc, if you wanna get a good price for your stuff you sell it yourself (and at least know what your selling)
In the real world it's expensive to run a business. 50% of value is fair. You want retail sell it all yourself.
Being 50 years old I was a 80s kid and had a lot of this stuff . To this day it still amazes me stuff that old turns up either sealed or in loose mint complete condition… I played with my toys till they fell apart lol.. mint on card 80s toys still blows me away how they survived all this long and how they didn’t get opened. Great video 😊
Megatron worth $1500 alone. These guys will send it in to get graded and it will be worth $5,000. Poor old man. I've been a collector and dealer since 1985. Thise mask toys were rare with the boxes and the condition was fine/extra fine.
And they deserve it since it’s their field. They know the value in all of it therefore they were smart and got a good deal. They are a business, on top of that they are good dudes
@@floatahhh Ripping people off for greed is no way to do business
Your estimates are way too high, Megatron in that condition, 7-8 grade, is worth 750 max. The Mask toys are valuable if the boxes are in mint condition which most certainly aren't here, the Outlaw NIB is 900-1000, in this condition maybe 400. Maybe 3k is on the lower end but max value here is 3.8k if you're lucky.
Well I ain’t lugging it back home! 😂 Best line of the whole video
It's crazy how many commenters don't understand how a business works lol. Also once he got the full estimate, there was literally nothing stopping him from backing out and trying to sell the stuff himself for 3k on ebay...He was given a quote, and a fair price to take it off his hands. Too many people throwing around the word "scammer" haha.
Yeah people have no clue what it takes to run a collectible business. They just spew garbage.
It's amazing how many commentors(like you) have no morals or ethics.
The guys wearing green and blue seem sketchy
I love that a Christmas tree is always up in the store because everyday is Christmas at Toy Federation.
So now we know what Clark Griswold's Boss is doing on his retirement.
The level of care for storing the kids stuff..wish my parents cared half as much about my soul as that guy did his kids toys 😂
You were literally unpacking my childhood, my brother and I had all those vintage Star Wars toys. Awesome video !
I don’t collect anything but I enjoy seeing the business side of it.
THATS IT 1500.00 ???????
They pay ~50% cash. So they valued it at 3,000
he got another $1000 after giving them the extra parts.
@@ScarecrOmega Why are you and many others like you trying to justify the old man being ripped off?
So cool to see. It's crazy to think its just been sitting in an attic. Thanks for sharing as always Toy Federation.
Guys..when people re-sell things they typically buy them for about half of what they sell it for. That is a standard practice among lots of things that are re-sold. Kind of like when u sell something to a pawn shop…say a TV. If it goes for $400 used, then they will buy it for around $200. The store has to make a profit to cover their business costs…things like employee salaries, rent, electric, advertising, insurance, worker’s comp, and many other costs. If it were me, I would print up a flyer saying “We buy toys” and list the toys they are looking for and explain how they are valued and show the transparency of it all because most folks are new to selling toys probably. This would help folks understand it better. These guys are being fair IMO, running a business is VERY expensive and I think some commenters on here are not taking that into account. Also he would not post unfair prices to just get backlash so cut him some slack. Thanks for the videos, I enjoy watching.
ok Kevin
Watching this makes me miss my Mask collection. Might have to buy the ones I had.
This kid had a great childhood. Reminds me of mine. I had just about everything in this collection. The memories came flooding back. Great Video!!
My parents never asked me. They just gradually started taking my old toys. I had all GI Joe and Masters of the universe. I had all the old turtles too. My parents spoiled us as kids when it came to holidays but were never very good at investments. I told what the values where now on some of these old bases like the cobra command center and they didn’t believe me. It’s too bad too because I kept them in pristine condition considering I never had friends to play with so I treated my toys like friends.
I used to have a bunch of Star Wars men. I was a bad kid. I used to take off to the store without letting anyone know and steal action figures. I’d go back home and play under a tree with my new toys. He-Man too 😂I’m 50 now so I’ve come a long way. Stealing isn’t cool.😳
@@dakmycat3688 I thought you were going to say, "I've come a long way, I now do armed robberies"
Feel much worse for you regarding the emotional aspects of that than the financial ones, that sucks. Hope you have a good relationship with your parents nonetheless.
I appreciate the transparency and that’s why I’m here. But this is the first time I’ve had to disagree with their buying price by a large margin.
I was for sure thinking $2k-$2.5k everything was so clean most of it was complete or almost complete ect ect
The whole thing is complicated and very painful I agree with what you are feeling. I almost wish he told the guy to keep all his shit cuz his son is gonna regret it someday. It's an AMAZING collection. I'm conflicted too!
Edit: After thinking about it at least Toy Federation is an amazing place that those of us who are nostalgic for this shit, grew up and have disposable money, and have a legit place to go to repurchase our childhood. That's special.
He came back with the parts to complete some stuff and got another $1000
@@toyfederation Awesome nice to hear would be nice to see what he brought back though.I mean you guys always do people right just this one rubbed people the wrong way a bit may have been mostly jealous feelings idk.
Hmmm. I'm usually defending in the comments on the prices...this seemed a bit low. There were a lot of boxes there. Also the megatron alone will retail for for $400 conservatively. Maybe even 700 or 800 if the condition is as good as it looked on camera. It's so hard to price these things. I imagine most of this collection will go in storage WAITING on the missing one or two pieces. If they manage to complete everything it will go for $6k+...but that's if they can find the missing pieces. I think $2000-$2500 would have been closer, or maybe let him keep one or two key pieces with instructions to ebay them. This was s tough one. Still beats losing them at a yard sale for $100 which seems was likely to happen in this case.
Wow I was born in 1976 and never had this much growing up. Video games, bicycles and boom boxes must of been the reason.
Exactly,don't forget playing in the fields climbing trees,playing army,playing kerbie,football,climbing on top of the local church.
Remember, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. I am glad he brought it in, so now someone else can enjoy the toys, collecting and memories.
He should’ve called 🐸 Froggy Flips and actually got a decent sale not this robbery
Froggy has little to no OH so yeah…he would likely be able to pay more.
You clearly havent watched enough Froggy if you think this was bad. He has paid $5 of 1k before with garge sale finds... Its about the time investment to move it and the liquidity to buy it all though. These guys have a shop to maintain with TONS of stock that may never leave.
Why do people go to the wrong person thinking they are the right person??? A toy collection store will always low-ball you, I understand they have to make a profit, but they are never fair when it comes to paying, 1500 dls for all that is a joke, I had to go back 10 seconds hopping I heard wrong and the buyer said 50 hundred😅, one could easily double that on eBay selling separate, Megatron complete, immaculate box?
Ok
Yep, w@nkers!!!
How can they sleep at night ripping off old honest folks like this? Disgusting!!!
The toys were junk to the man, he was going to throw them away so he got $1500 for junk and he was more than happy with it.
They could have been honest and told him he could shop around and what he could get but what they were offering him was x amount. That would be fair.
This is real multitasking; giving a ‘Toys 101’ lesson while sorting 250 toys. I’d have sent the guy out for coffee 😅
Nothing better than waking up , and seeing old Star Wars toys, apart from seeing my kids :)
*Highway robbery 😂*
Everytime
i remember my dad buying me the MASK-rhino and like a box of other smaler vehicles from the flea-market for couple $... they must be somewhere at thier house
Can’t wait to see part 2 where this guy completes these sets and gets paid!
Video 😂 didn't happen
LOL the smile after seeing that the rotor still worked on the Tiger Fly....priceless.
You finessed that guy.....the look on your colleagues' face when you were punching numbers gave it away...he knew the heist was on.
I can barely watch these videos anymore it’s disgusting
The Megatron alone is seven 800 bucks
Yeah I was thinking same thing when all 3 were lined up with the calculator he never stands behind counter in a row with the calculator. When he was like no it can't be that one he definitely typed in the total worth of it
Not sure I believe the extra 1k off camera either
Like always another great Saturday morning treat. Thanks again!
I love MASK! I hope they bring it back!
I love seeing Megaton complete in box. Such a great display!
His son probably wanted nothing to do with these toys after his father made him keep them In such perfect condition as a child.
I doubt that. The parents instilled in the kids responsibly and care for their stuff. Otherwise the parents wouldn't have bought them so many toys, spanning the different toy lines . I kept my toys neat , complete and in the boxes.
Yep some kids are just raised differently to take care of their belongings.
My wife was raised to take good care of her things so they last…and it shows. Her entire family is that way. Meanwhile me and my siblings beat out stuff to hell. I actually think it’s healthier to raise your children with the awareness to take care of their things so that their stuff will last. Now as adult home owners I have to watch myself to ensure I’m not swinging drawers or doors open and shut and instead doing it with a level of awareness. She’s gentle around our home and it’s natural for her,
Also Travis is becoming quite the hero, what a team.
As a collector myself, the reason most of these are in as good of shape is he probably valued the memories between when he got them, who got them for him, and a desire to preserve the memories associated with them. Yet since he went to the military he lost those attachments, but I can feel a small part of his son still wanting these. Oh well, off to a good cause!
I always wanted that megatron as a kid.
I had the soundwave....Had to put it on layway to purchase. lol
Whether or not his son gets upset, he did right by bringing it to you guys! He would have been ripped off he just had a garage sale or put it in a classified add and sold it, not knowing what it was worth, somebody would have low balled him to death. You guys treated him right and fair!
he was ripped off
I sold some 10-15 year old Transformers toys for about half their value to a toy store back a few months. I didn't want to deal with all the hassle of selling it off myself. Plus I realize they gotta pay rent, utilities, payroll, insurance, and whatever else. It's nice that stores like this exist.
I'm amazed that a 25 year old (he did say 25 right?) had a collection of stuff that I had as a kid (and I'm 46). All great stuff, but interesting that the son was into it or even knew about Construx for example.
The dad said his son was born in 1976 at around 17 minutes into the video, I dunno why he said 25 earlier in the video lol.
I wonder how many Star Wars figures are buried in my folks back garden... We had a dug up 6 foot square area that in my imagination was like Tatooine in summer, and Hoth in winter. Much better than a plastic play set 😂 There'll be loads of Airfix German and British toy soldiers down there too..
That poor old Man. He just got Hucklebucked right up the ol Keester! Hahaha! Let's be honest, He loved it (I have some more pieces at my house I'll bring in)!
He came back with the parts to complete some stuff and got another $1000
Man, i thought you were a stand-up guy, but your later videos show your fleeecing people that is wrong.
When buddy said he didn’t play with MASK toys I wasn’t too surprised haha
Using his vacation time from work to do more work. I feel your pain .
Did he say hes only seen his son 12 times in the past 25 years? Thats harsh.
I feel bad for that guy, even though he didn't know what he had, I think he should have got more.
30:11 he is like my 76 years old father with his finger and tongue ;) ... i respect that !!
Something seems off. His son had all these toys well preserved and he said nahhhhhh you can toss them dad. He has to know they are valuable. I dunno, something seems off
I felt the same way. In the beginning the dad said his son is 25. So I'm assuming his son put some serious money into collecting all these toys. So for his son to just not want them and told his dad to get rid of them knowing that there worth money. Something does seem really off
The son being 25(?) These weren't his toys. That g1 roadbuster with so many of the parts, that's a special one. The offer was definitely low.
Yeah ... I don't know much but that at-st looked expensive
His son was born in 1976(min 16:46) and he has only seen him 12 times in 25 years is what he said. But yea still crazy that he didn’t want any of it. His loss.
@@Ronnie2787 thank you!
I think I remember that these stores usually just offer 25% cash or 50% trade value so what they offered him wasn't too far off. The store is there to make a profit.
Wow! That’s an amazing collection of mask and Star Wars. Happy he didn’t throw them out.
The g1 megatron with stickers and good styrofoam could be sold for $900-$1100 easily.......
Yeah, they got him
The styrofoam wasn’t good, was broken on the edge which happens a lot and diminishes the value big time
Ok, like it was mint? You’re lying. Also, TF openly states that they’re only going to give you approximately half of what they can sell it for.
Assuming the dad here knew how to use eBay... that $800 immediately drops to $640 and less due to shipping. Then he's going to have to file the eBay sales on his taxes and that's assuming the seller doesn't claim something and make his life harder...
I love building computers, but most people I know just want to buy a computer already done and that's what this guy wanted. Just wanted them gone and space reclaimed.
Poor guy. The silence at the end going back and forth with the other employees, telltale sign of the shadiness
Nope
Think so too being think this for a while now
Absolutely! It's cringe watching these dudes keep saying it's a "fair" deal when they know full stop they are gonna make bank by paying such low prices! Ultimately, it's on the seller for sure, but what started out as an enjoyable channel to watch has become yucky!
yup, the same shady tactic with the excuses and lies to get things for pennies, to turn around and rob the next man by marking it way up.
@@toyfederationthen why not show the thought process? Why not show a ballpark number for how much it’s worth and how much you’re willing to pay? That’s what shady about it, we all understand you’re a business that has to make money… but you don’t have be pieces of shit, that megatron is worth a little less than half of the amount you paid, are you telling me the rest is only worth like 900 bucks? Admit it, you took advantage of the guy and were shady about it.
Yeah wow the Megatron complete in that box is almost a grand.. geez.. sell your toys yourself people… it’ll take some time but be a heck of a lot better for you at the wnd
This is my new chillout show. :)
Awesome collection! It brought back a lot of memories of my childhood.
I never comment on videos but I frequent toy cons that megatron is always 1200 or more alone. You took advantage even with the extra he made off the second visit.
Isn't that $1200 retail? The store owner is very upfront that he pays out about 50% of an item's current value at the most, and probably less on hard to sell items that may sit in his store for years before being sold.
@@jasonl8326 Yes but he didnt just sell him the megatron he sold him a shitload of mint condition in unsealed box MASK figures and other stuff with decent value as well... they bent him over from the perspective of "we give 50%"
before my time but still how neat seeing all these old school toys! love the channel!
I have one of the AT-AT chin guns somewhere, it is the only piece I have left. Our black lab was distrustful of the AT-AT from day one when it appeared next to the Christmas tree. She watched from shadowy corners of the room as my sister and I played with it constantly during our vacation, plotting. The day we went back to school she made her move... She chewed it up while my dad was at work and my mom was out shopping. We came home from school and it was gone. I found the chin gun decades later under a radiator when I was ripping carpet out. Apparently we had lost it within a week lol.
Sad backstory in regards to him and sons relationship.
any time i see collection like that im just like what the hell are these kids doing, my childhood toys were beaten to absolute hell.
older brothers were into Star Wars stuff i grew up with Darth Vader as my favorite until the AT-AT but they grew older and i went for the He-Man and WWF figurines which were unrecognizable after 2 weeks probably hahaha.If only we had knew $$.
Wow those star wars looked like they were almost mint condition.
That Megatron alone is an easy $700-800, unused with unused sticker sheet. If the foam was unbrok3n, $900. In a better box with no flap crease $2000-2500.
I started collecting AFX racing sets from 1977 to 1989...had every American set in mint condition. Went to the service for 6 years, came back to see my sets in my parents attic after 6 years......my mother tossed every set in the garbage. She said she was spring cleaning. She tossed a lot of money away in probably in one day.
😱
My parents tossed all my vintage 80s and 90s toys or my asshole brothers destroyed them. Still have some of my early mid 90s stuff when I was more collector aware.
I went in the Air Force in ‘88, pretty much the same story. Came across an estate sale in Bellevue Wa., the guy had AFX, tyco and 60’s t-jets in a spinning glass case . The lady running the sale said they were going to throw it all out and let me have it all for $40, they just wanted it gone. Since my parents threw all my shit out I was glad to give it a good home
@@skeezix8156 Damn shame...glad you were able those items for a great price. I eventually started back collecting.
my jaw is on the floor since megatron in box
how... can u leave grimlock facedown on the floor like that lol jks
That dude worked his ass off for his kid. My dad would never buy me shit like that.
What a great video! I scored a 1989 Toybiz Batmobile with the box this week. I love it! Keep the videos coming. Jordan
When I was 12 I sold all my Star Wars figures including an AT AT and slave one for about 15 quid at a car boot sale back in 1992 watching these videos makes me sad I sold em.
mom gave all my kids stuff when i was about 13 to one of her single mother friend.I went with her to give the kid my toys and it was a sharing and compassion act of kindness back in 1987.Original Star-Wars(50+ figurines including all the main ones and duplicates + Jabba + Millenial Falcon + At-At +all the smaller ships,original He-Man (Skeletor,the Lair,the pet,Water spitting lizard haha),original WWF with the ring (Hogan,Andre,Bundy,Stud,Ultimate Warrior etc...) ... if that kid kept everything he would be sitting on a small fortune.Not sure if that kid also received the Atari with 30+ cartdridges hahaha.
Can somebody buy Ryan some knee pads? Love the long episode!
