Electric Vintage Toy Finds At Sandown Toy Fair - May 2024
Ойын-сауық
Sandown Toy Fair is one of my favourite fairs of the year. It usually delivers some very nice vintage toys and this one doesn't disappoint.
Let's see what we can find, let's see who can we meet.

The Search For, Preservation and Archival of Vintage Toys.
Hi, I'm VTR Dave. A Brit on a mission to curate a high-quality and diverse collection of vintage toys, known as the VT aRchive.
A homage to the iconic toys of the 70s & 80s to be shared with as many enthusiasts as possible, right here on this channel. And who knows, perhaps in the future, on display in a public space like a museum. Now, wouldn't that be something!
Subscribe to stay updated as I search for vintage toys, lovingly restore them, delve into their history, and piece by piece, construct the VT aRchive.
As always, thanks goes out to everyone who supports the channel. Every view, like & comment is appreciated.
Stay safe & cheers!

Hey Dez!! 👍 Had a great day, relaxing while browsing and buying - it had been a full-on week. Love the Tie Fighter, glad I pulled the trigger as I was having difficult deciding LOL
That electro man is such a classic VTR Dave item I love it. I was walking around seeing so many things that I thought belonged on your channel 😂 Great pick up with the white tie fighter too, I saw that, it was a really nice condition one. Great to finally meet you Dave and thanks for letting me get a pic with you, an absolute gent 👍🏼

Thanks for your kind words about the style of my videos 👍 I've recently been getting deeper into Food Fighters - I mistakenly thought they were from the 90s which is outside my core collecting period so didn't focus on them. Wish I hadn't taken so long to realise 😎
Love watching your Toy Hunt videos. Always something different and your pick ups were amazing. Great to see some friendly faces in the crowd! BOE with a nice pick up also!

Looks like an amazing event there, Dave! I was salivating at a few of these Star Wars and Action Force/Man bits especially the Red Shadows Hyena, which I didn't see at NEC last month! Got a big Toy fair of sorts up here this weekend, so hopefully I can scratch that itch! 😃

Another great toy fair video Dave, always enjoy these. Some great pickups. I think I would open the Universal Monsters, would be excited to see them and their coffins and other features 😂 as they look great fun. That said, I have a bunch of Reaction Universal Monsters still on card 🤦. I’m also intrigued by those two Neanderthals on your desk in the video…who on earth are they? 😂

Thanks Scott!! 👍 So far, no one has said to keep them sealed 😎 Now, those two figures on the desk, good spot!! The one with the gold armour is from Action Man - he's called The Intruder. He's often hated by collectors, but I think he's great. It turns out, Palitoy borrowed the figure the Super GI Joe line where it originally had Silver armour, a different hair colour and no beard!!! I recently added the Silver one to the collection 🤘
thank you so much I have messaged both so hopefully they still have it so I can get it

Regarding Mr Madine, I would recommend picking him up! I saw 👀 on your video a minty carded Palitoy Madine! Madine is the rarest Trilogo carded figure! The Taiwan COO with green hair was one of the first variants that I became aware of: probably via an old Brian’s Toys catalog. I picked up the Lili-Ledy Madine recently! Many moons ago I bought a Sample Madine on a TESB Hoth Luke card a real treasure piece!
