Yo - Let's talk about those Dino Riders, since I'm getting so many messages. I *know* that the same molds were used for the Smithsonian line of dinos, and even for the Cadillacs and Dinosaurs line. I know for the Smithsonian versions, they removed the battery compartments and smoothed over them with plastic. The Stego I found in this video still has the batter compartment. It also seems to match the colors of the Dino Riders version. There's some good sources online showing color comparisons between the types. But either way, they are great dinos. I appreciate all of the comments!

That truck that everyone was debating about was a GoBot. it was the time when the competition began.

Some tasty jams playing in there:)

Thats "The Cure" in the soundtrack! Cool!!!!

You should ask the owners a few questions so they introduce their store and some of the history behind it next time. it would be fun to know more.

Oh God. I had the turtle copter as a kid. I loved it. I WISH I would have known about the blimp as a kid. Because the blimp is AMAZING. Especially the second version (repainted to match the tv series) As y'all are probably aware the blimps do not hold air very well anymore. One I got off Ebay I'd have to refill every like 36 hours

The inspector gadget toy, though! Lol. I collected all the pieces, including the hat and one arm that my cousin gave to me. She's right, individually the pieces were about as fun as drying paint lol, but fully assembled it was cool

The Retro Madness I went to has a different look. Maybe I went to an additional location or older one? Either way I enjoyed my trip and it will be discussed in an upcoming video. Thanks for the invite Steve. Great video you guys, so many more items I would love to pick up again. Gonna have to visit this location now.

Someday you have to make it to Dallas vintage toys. It’s the king of the ring!

narc, you got me saying doll hairs now! lol

Wow, so much nostalgia! Seeing two of my four dream toys in one location makes me so happy and so jealous at the same time, haha! I'd absolutely love to own the Castle of Lions and the USS Flagg again. My brother had both when I was a kid but we were dumb and we ended up breaking and losing most of the parts to them (and in a few cases, our dog chewed them) so my parents threw them both away. Always wanted them again but they're so pricey. Terror Drome is another of my dream toys that I would absolutely love to own, even though I never had that one as a kid. Also Eyeball guy was one of the best Power Rangers figures. I still have him somewhere in a storage building. We got infinite amusement with his firing eyeball nipples back int he day. I also have that McDonald's Inspector Gadget somewhere. I remember trying so hard to complete that toy. I had all of the pieces except the chest piece, which I believe was electronic. I would scour bins full of McDonald's toys at flea markets and always find the pieces I already had. Several years later I had eventually given up and stopped caring and wouldn't you know it, I found the missing piece then. Didn't even buy it.

It was for sale! I think it was around $900!

The truck is Winch Robo. It is a Toyota HiLux. I think it was sold as a Gobot in the US.

Those may or may not be Dino Riders items. There was also Tyco's Smithsonian collection that reused Dino Rider molds without all the sci-fi stuff. And Tyco's Cadillacs and Dinosaurs line resued a few dinos, too.

Good thing that i live in Texas and i live near Arlington

Hey Pixel Dan, did u manage to visit other toy stores in the DFW area like Dallas Vintage Toys and DFW Toy Stash?

Hello Dan, I hope you don't mind a quick question regarding the HE-MAN / DEMOLITION MAN toys (hard to find in the UK!) ; Kick-Fighting Spartan has Nocturna's action feature, but the Cryo-Tech does NOT have Flip-Shot's action feature. So... Does Battle Baton Spartan have He-Man's action feature, the twisting waist? Thanks!

I go their that exact location at least once a month to confirm theirs a Cici’s, chapps burgers and Albertsons near by right?

I collected all the inspector gadget toys. I still have it, I ate a lot of happy meals.

I get a bit jealous every time I see you Toy hunting be it in stores or in cons because in Portugal we don't have that. At the same time I'm glad you enjoy yourself with your friends Toy hunting and I hope I get to do it in the future.

$2 for the Dino Riders?? There's a toy store in Blue Mountains carrying the same thing for a fortune. What a steal.

@Pixel-dan

4 жыл бұрын

It's tough, because finding a buyer is always the trick. You can check "sold" listings on ebay to get a good idea what people have been paying for items you have. But in order to get those prices, you'll probably have to use ebay. Selling at a convention or toy show would be your next best bet, but keep in mind people are looking for deals at those shows. Selling to a shop will get you the least amount, because the store has to be able to turn around and sell at a profit. But it is an option. Good luck!!

Fortress of fangs missing some cool things yet it is great for what it does have. I sold two of them back in 2001 on eBay along with over 20 figures from D&D and other fantasy figures including Crystar that needed a great set with swords and such,

not sure if anyone has answered this or not but that toy is from the robo machine line of toys (short lived transformers cash in line) i think there was a helicopter or maybe an airplane in the line too. might have been a part of the gobots line cant remember that part but i dont think its part of the main line if it was sold as a gobot.
