You know you are a Star Wars Nerd when you knew what Tony had, before he unpacked it, simply by the shape.

My mom once asked me why do collectors collect toy boxes if the toys were meant to be played with and my answer was because it makes the collector happy. You need no other reason than to collect what you love.

Or as it's a 1000% legit question,you could explain that it's to later sell the item at a 500% profit. The reality of modern collectors that will light themselves on fire before admitting.

@@michaelabney3486 Not necessarily. For many, it's the gorgeous artwork on the box. That's why you see so many Star Wars retro figure collectors peeling that sticker off the card back. It has nothing to do with resale value.

That's true, it's the nostalgia that evoques a sealed box and the art of the actual boxes........those MOTU and GIJOE boxes are gorgeous.

Cool, that Ewok Forest base looks nice. Maybe Paz could make the box for that? Is it really true that they used the base for the Kevin Costner Robin Hood Forest hideout.

When I started collecting Star Wars,I told my wife I was just going to collect Empire,then she catches me watching a video like this,and I immediately get the look,you know the one.

One of my favorite parts of your unboxing videos is when you stare in amazement at the contents as you process what’s inside, it’s like watching a kid unwrap an unexpected gift.

Love that Ewok village. I got to play with my cousins' set when I was little. Around that time Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves came out and Kenner reused the mold for the Sherwood Forest playset. One major change they made was to add foliage that could be added to the tops of the trees. Michael French has a great example in his collection, perhaps you've noticed it? I always felt the Ewok village just needed that splash of green - glad Kenner fixed that oversight with the Robin Hood line.

Made my day seeing your reactions as you opened the boxes.

Tony, that was excellent. You are a lucky man for sure. I love unboxing videos and seeing the genuine expressions on faces. I love you channel and also that you are a veteran - my Dad was in WWII so I respect that. Good on ya.

Love that custom box at the end. I have the ewok village too, just a word of warning with it, if you disassemble the platform, you'll see theres 3 sections of beige plastic platform that clip off at the tree trunks, these are clipped into the main body of the platform and those clips are tight and have got brittle over time and notoriously break very easily. Be very careful if you ever take that bit of the toy apart. Glad you got one in the collection! Loved the video.

in fact tony..i thought it was super cool and refreshing to see a different background while you does the unboxing. enjoy every single bit of it! thank you

Wow! Those boxes are amazing .

Awesome video. That treehouse is a work of art and those cyborg customs are beautiful. Congrats

No the cats won't be interested in the newspaper, but I bet they were casting eager eyes at the boxes! 😂

Amazing unboxing of star wars figures and playset keep collecting

Wow!!!, it's beautiful. From the sledgemaster. I wish I could see ur years of collecting pieces. I have been collecting for 37 years. From the sledgemaster

Wow mint condition! Nice find!!!

You got me on evil kennevil man..will be adding that to my toy story collection in time ,great haul brother!! I was born in 68....

As neat as it is to see that Ewok Village, as someone who dabbles in graphic design, those repro boxes/cardbacks are stunning pieces. Paz, buddy, if you're reading this, these are next level man. Thanks for sharing this with us Tony, seeing your face light up upon that Stunt Cycle box reveal made my morning

Me and my siblings had the ewok village when we were kids. I keep thinking about getting one again but I'm not sure where it would live. But that looks exactly how I remember it! I haven't seen a complete one in decades. Also ... While I don't have a lot of packed stuff or packages figures in my collection ... The boxes and packaging are so hard to find for anything. They're works of art as far as I'm concerned and it's always interesting to see them. And they bring back happy memories of simpler days. No wonder the reproduction market has really taken off! I've thought about re-carding some of my figures for display ... But I worry that the reproduction card backs may rub some of their color off onto the back of figures. How well are they made these days? Great video as always!

While I didn't have the Ewok village, I did have the Robin Hood village that used the exact same mold. Yes, it was fun, sometimes you just want a boy's equivalent of a doll house as a base for your action figures.

That home movie footage is priceless! Really gotta back The Six Million Dollar Man and Evel Knievel back in my collection - both childhood faves. Here in Straya we also had the Dale Buggins stunt cycle. Back in the late 70s, Buggins was a 17yo kid from Newcastle who beat a bunch of Evel's world jump records. Had both and would have Evel v Dale races in the lounge roo, haha...

I still have mine, and I believe it is complete. I remember this play set being my second favourite, losing top spot to the card board Death Star. I always loved it for its complete play ability and detail. Such a great toy.

Wow 🤩 ❤. EWOK VILLAGE 😊A favorite of mine. I remember getting mine. 😊

Awesome!

Great see you back tony .great pick up and custum boxes they look so well made .look forward live stream

I had the Ewok village as a kid but lost it many years ago. Got another one complete in great condition last month. Great to see you unboxing this also!

I enjoyed this video. Thank you Tony.

Beautiful boxes. Wish I had them, especially the bionic man and big foot box to put in my 37 years of collecting. From the sledgemaster

Wow that a beautiful evil knevil box!!!! Wow!!! Beautiful!!! From the sledgemaster

I remember having my evil kinivel in 1976, it was awesome 👌

Very touching items and an awesome video

All of this couldn’t have gone to a better guy!

I had the Sherwood Forest playset. I didn't know it was the Ewok Village until I saw one at a comic book shop and I was like, 'where are the leaves?' lol Good on ya for scoring an Ewok Village.

I’m only collect Star Wars and Empire toys bc I “aged out” of toys before Jedi. That Ewok village looks very nice and complete in a single purchase. Congrats.

Love your vids, love the unboxing! That Ewok village is amazing and, like you, I never had it as a kid but have it on my collection as well but it's still on the box BC it's such a large piece to display. You rock man, loyal Canadian supporter! 🔥🔥🔥

Such cool nostalgia right there Tony even if its repro, doesn’t mean a damm thing, thats a sweet looking Ewok Village.

Custom Six Million dollar man and Bigfoot box for the WIN 💪🏆

Hoooaah congrats this is awesome

very cool.

That Ewok Village looks minty fresh - congratulations Toni! Never had 1 as a kid, but I always dreamt of having 3, side-by-side, connected by some custom, make-shift rope bridges (made by 9 year-old me lol.

Hey Tony , Hope you and family are doing good. Great unboxing video. That ewok village. Looks Awsome!

I love when you show and Tell the story of all these Toys 👌

Thanks

now that brings back memories. got that for xmas back in 83. played with it for years. good memories.

Well mate I’d love to see more action man videos from you. I love your unboxing videos to.keep up the good work lad

My best friend had one and even if you were in the anti Ewok camp, this was tons of fun to play with. Nice score!

Excellent unboxing video, Tony. And what a magnificent selection of vintage and custom pieces, to add to your collection. I especially love the custom Evel Kenievel box, as I owned an original one during my childhood, but simply threw it away, to save space!

Your gonna need a bigger house

That play set is really cool. I'm one of those people that really likes Ewoks.

So many awesome items! It's great to see you back for a video Tony!

Those aren't boxes. Those are works of art. Nice ewok village! To be honest I was guessing the kenner death star. I'm so glad I was wrong!

Very cool haul Tony that Ewok village is in mint condition! Am also loving your t shirt I will have to get one

I like Bobby an Ryan but a good old analog toy video with just Tony is good stuff 🇦🇺🍻🇺🇸💪🇬🇧

Amazing boxes. I’d love to get a SMDM box for my SuperMad toys Bionic Man 1:6 scale.

I had to get rid off some of my toys before I could get anything for Christmas and my birthday. I did have a stunt bike.

Steamin Jesus, I think you'll need more shelves boss

The look on your face when you opened the last box had me worried a little bit. It's like when you give someone a gift and you're not sure if they like it or not when you see their reaction.

Need to put ur figures on the beautiful play set piece. From the sledgemaster

We miss your presence at the 3POA streams...

💪😎

Amazingly I picked one up at a car boot sale near me for £4 ,the bloke new what it was but just didn’t care he wanted rid ,same guy sold a base guitar for50p know idea what was going on that day.

Tony, where did you find your copy of the Ewok Village? I want a minty one. - William

Any reason why you went with the Ewok village and not the Sherwood Forest play set? I just saw Sherwood at a toy show last weekend and thought that if I was to get either, I'd get Sherwood just because I think it looks better.

That Ewok playset has quite the footprint and should be cool in your display/videos. I was surprised at the number of play features it has when I got mine. Those vintage boxes from instagram.com/cyborg_customs7/ look great!

Very cool. I think the Ewok village ranks up there with the Death Star as far as play value goes. I bought a 2nd junker set for $20. If you have a spare moment, please check out my 1984 Ewok village. I added lights, a cage, rising C-3P0, and other fun things. Short version: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fYZhrM17ha7MdNI.html Long version: kzread.info/dash/bejne/YpmkyNmOYLWqqrQ.html
