Have a safe trip!
Hi Michael it's matt leuty mate. I've been away for a year and a half which was the end result of taking some bad choices in life. Luckily I focused all my attention on creating sculptures out of the limited materials available. I was also given the job of Learning support assistant which gave me a lot more privileges and I ended up winning some awards for dragons and dioramas. Anyway, just wanted you to know that it's me. Love to you both my friends.
I lived near this place for a few years. Great place to visit.
Awesome store, be an dangerous and expensive trip for me😂
Great footage! I really liked the stop and chats!
As always with these vintage toy shop tours, I have to thank Michael Mercy & friends for the walk down memory lane. I wish I had the time & money to visit this place and make the inventory lighter 😂

Thanks again! Great shop with lots of history on the walls.
Great selection, being there since before they moved..
Tampa in the house!
Love this store go all the time
I have that Slave 1 at the 46:00 mark. Got it back in 1999 at toys are us, but didn't get a Boba Fett for it until over a decade later. I'd love to have the vintage one next to it.
Awesome pickups. 😊 SnowTrooper for the win 🏆
29:12 that Optimus looking bot actually is Zenon from Super Human Samurai, also known as God Zenon from Gridman.

Thanks!
Great watch. I’ve been suffering from July with the can’t breath , cant drive etc etc and got to the point like you said ive got to the point where if i die or don’t wake up im comfortable with that. Taking each day one day at a time however I hate it and can’t wait to be better x
Enjoy these videos. It's like looking at the catalogs. "I had that" "I always wanted one of those as a kid", or "I remember those!". Fun memories. Thank you.
I have visted both the old locations. Would try to stop by the 56th ave ave location when going to Stefano. Spent quite a bit of money there,and Chuck and his staff were always cool. He even partnered up with a guy here in Lakeland to sell some of his stuff. Sadly,it didnt last long. When my financial situation improves,I will definitely visit the new location. Looks like he has more 3p toys and vintage figures. I kinda want that Machine Robo/Rock Lords Lords Lords combiner. Cheers 👍🏽
I would agree: G1 Optimus Prime is arguably the greatest toy of all time :)
Every Landshark sings. The question is how well. Thanks for the shout-out there Double M!

This loos like a great place to visit, thanks for sharing!
GREAT SHOP!! GREAT VIDEO!!!! THANK YOU 2 VERY MUCH!!!!¡❤😂
Nice.
Cool.
The Tailspin figures look to be the originals. They did make figures of them when the cartoon aired. Very short run. Only time I've ever seen them, was on the toy shelves of Kmart WAY back when.
Hey Michael, I did get my Mint in Box Kingdom Rodimus Prime signed by Judd Nelson at Rhode island Comic Con, and he even wrote his line "This is the end of the road Galvatron!" On it, got it certified too there on site. Also have you heard the news of Super7 getting the rights from Hasbro to make G.I. Joe o-ring figures and sell them regularly in stores?
The robot at the 29-minute mark is God Zenon from what in the U.S. was called Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad. No clue if the toy was ever available in the U.S., but especially if that specific item was a Japanese import, the shop owner may have been providing its origins using the series' Japanese name, Gridman.
If you want a real nice toy shop you should check out vintage toy world in Sarasota Florida. Hands down the best shop in western Florida
29:38 that's God Zenon from original Gridman
This is Downtown Tampa? I live in North Tampa and not far from USF is a Vintage Toy Shop.
Awesome video. How much was the USS FLAGG?...🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
At 7:02 the camera pans across a red or red-orange g1 devastator. What is that? Is it diaclone or a special issue?
@MichaelMercy at 9:06-9:07 in the video, all the way to the left, there’s a grey with red looking exoskeleton suit that has the writing of GR / P4 in front of the legs. Seems like some action figure would go inside of it to combine with others to make a larger figure. Do you know which toy line this was from? I remember having a part of this and I can’t remember.
