Your collection made me drool. Unfortunately like most I’m waiting for a lottery win to afford a collection like this 😂😂
So cool! I couldn't help but notice that you seem to be missing the Palitoy cardboard death star - my favorite as a kid, play-wise, which got me into SW toy collecting back then.
I just bought a pack of 38 figures varying from empire to return of the jedi to start a wall. What are the clear plastics you put the figure cards in to hang them on the wall? I would appreciate the info, thank you. From Reykjavik, Iceland.
With how disney is ruinung star wars and how people from this era would get older and pass away would these still remain valuable?
😮😮😮OMG. WOW! Heaven???
How old are you?
very jealous of your collection sir.
Awesome collection
Thank you!
Do you have Lego vintage cloud city in box
I actually sold the original LEGO cloud city when the newer, bigger set was released.
Looks fabulous sounds horrible !
Well said!
Marie Kondo, really impressed with what you’ve done the following’ her philosophy. It’s beautiful mate
Thank you, glad you enjoyed
Awesome video!!! I am starting to collect all the vintage Star Wars toys, i am a 70's kid, i grew up with Star Wars and i am a big fan of the movies and toys, its fantastic to see all those vintage toys that you have, it brings back great memories!!! Thank you for that.
Glad you enjoyed! Happy hunting on your collection
Fantastic
You are one lucky one kid
Everything, cool!
Very Cool!!! May the Force Be with You...
And also with you
Hey, amazing collection and displayed beautifully. I am doing some research and would be interested if your Weequay is a Palitoy 65C cardback?
Hey, thank you. You are absolutely correct, Palitoy 65 back. Good eye!
I had brown snake Yoda, too bad I sold him :-(
I used to think I had an impressive collection.....I am now humbled.
Thank you!
Nice to see a fellow local collector. I'm in the falls lol.
It sure is! Happy hunting!
Nice Robotech collection, I managed to get most of the Matchbox figures, and exosquad versions, and have all the Gakken vehicles, and even managed to get the Southern cross model kits, My most prized item however is the Robotech dart gun which is actually the Shocktrooper rifle, and pistol from "V" THE VISITORS
I found a store in ogden,utah called Hee Bee Gee Bees. I was able to buy a few you have. I think i spent 400 bucks. Was even to get an origional cylon fighter from Battlestar Galatica still in the box. I have Yak Face to. I payed 200 for mine 9 years ago.
I am making a green goblin costume out of this. Is there any good way to dye the fabric. I am going to use the method you used to paint the army green but I wana get the material underneath green. Any suggestions? It hasnt come in the mail yet so its hard to really see what Im working with yet.
I am not too good working with dyes and fabrics. I can tell you the material is synthetic and I imagine very difficult to color. My only advise is to goggle how to do it once you know the material type. Good luck!
@@MusashiPadawan I gothca thanks for the info ill let you know how it comes out.
impressive collection. I have the complete collection of figures loose, some vehicles and some carded
Thank you, and congrats on the complete collection of figures, that is a big achievement!
@@MusashiPadawan took me a while to get good deals on the carded ones. Only have MOCs Luke Skywalker jedi knight (ROTJ) Leia Organa Endor (ROTJ) Han Solo Endor (ROTJ) Lando Calrissian Skiff (ROTJ) Darth Vader (ROTJ) R2D2 (ROTJ) IG88 (ESB) Chewbacca (ROTJ) C3PO (ROTJ) Luke Skywalker hoth (ESB) Dengar (ESB) Boussh ROTJ
I have my original, which is much loved, but lost the remote for it about 20 years ago. There's a great quote in Doctor Who 'the memory cheats' (how some piece of nostalgia isn't as great as we remember). Based on your review and seeing how it actually moves, won't be looking for a remote replacement any time soon! ;-)
Glad I could help! Memory is an odd thing. This droid still looks great but the sounds and play features- not so much.
Brilliant, great video/review
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Super cool!
Thank you!
That’s very cool. I had the space supply station as a kid. I wish I still had it. But for some reason I remember the clear blue windows being clear green and blue trusses being grey. Did Lego change the color scheme later on? Or am I just not remembering correctly?
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! I doubt there was a color change. LEGO is known for amazing consistency and rarely is there a change within a set because they are typically only available for a year or two. If you are ever having trouble remembering specifics, there are some incredibly detailed sites out there with not only scans of the original instructions but part type/numbers and links to sellers for ever set/part ever. Many people take this hobby very seriously! These are just some of the great sites I have referenced over the years to complete sets: brickset.com/ www.bricklink.com/v2/main.page www.brickfactory.info/index.html
Thanks man, I appreciate it. I must have just mixed up sets. What I mostly remember is I was in the 3rd grade and I went to may dads house one weekend and he surprised me with that set. I thought it was the coolest set and I built it and just had had a lot of fun with it. I wish I knew what happened to it. Thanks again, seeing that set brought back some fun memories. I still love Lego, my latest build was R2-D2 😎
@@jacklambert4958 Glad I could help trigger a good memory!
Does anyone have a rough approximate estimate of how much money his collection is worth?
Glad that i have the 2016 Hasbro R2-D2 Smart. Is more cheaper than the big one but is better than this 1978 Kenner that is very poor and annoying
Yes, the 1978 version is NOT the droid you are looking for!
WOW
Awesome collection. Subscribed
Thank you!
Awesome tour awesome collection ! New to the channel. Thank you for sharing with all who enjoy Star Wars
Thank you, my pleasure!
Lots of great memories ❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
First 12 paltoy leic I went 90 miles to buy hammerhead once
That is dedication!
@@MusashiPadawan I collect vinyl record have done all my life but star wars are nice to collect like the arcade games and the films seen empire and jedi back in the day loved them seen one or two of the new ones loved the cantina scene in star wars happy hunting
@@MusashiPadawan it was my pride and joy then
Great collection they made figures in uk leicester paltoy had lots of them early 1980s
Thank you!
Love the starwars Lego collection! Some of the sets you have are my dream to build.
Thank you, lots of hours of fun!
Awesome collection. I have mostly modern Star Wars Hasbro figures and a heap of Lego sets. But my vintage collection is growing. I also have some of the earlier Lego sets like that Millennium Falcon from 2000. Its my favorite Star Wars Lego set. I also think the early Lego Tie Fighters were awesome with the black and blue color schemes.
I'm sorry to hear about your father.
Wow I have six boxes in a storage shed with these same boxes and toys no idea they were worth anything I’m going there tonight to grab them and bring them home stumbled on this video by accident if there’s anything good I’d like to give them to a collector I have no use for them!!!
Sounds like you might have a treasure on your hands!
I just joined a Saber fighting group and was looking for this exact video.
Good luck with your training!
Awesome toys
The collection is Fantastic. I really enjoyed the videos. How can I contact you to converse about Star Wars collecting. Thank you .

An amazing collection! Thank you so much for sharing it with us all😊 Much love from Australia.
Thank you!
Awesome collection! Identify with a lot of your nostalgic connections and owned and wore out my own collection as a kid. I still have my Vader case full of beat up figures, it’s the one thing I’ve taken with me every step of my life journey and it’s almost a fluke because I recall selling a lot of my toys at a family garage sale and I sold everything but my Star Wars toys. I had the whole lot priced at 20 bucks in a laundry bin and nobody wanted them. And now it’s so cool to still have them to preface my ridiculous collection of modern figures.
Amazing how fate works!
Dude....Relax. 5 mins in and you are quoting Gandalf and giving a long ass self interview about you're Life! Just Breath, relax, calm down, and Show us what you have, you are not the Master Collector (and do not get me Wrong, the collection is Amazing!!!!) But this is Not a Piece for Dateline, calm down, be humble...
Yikes, I am sorry we have different ideas about how to showcase a collection. However, I will never apologize for my enthusiasm and passion- I think its something the word could use more of. Thanks for watching!
Hi mate, great video thank you. I am a Lego starwars fan but enjoyed your Kenner collection. I remember having most of the figures and space ships….. can’t believe I sold them on e bay 20 odd years ago ….. bugger! Thanks again , matt from 🇬🇧
Thanks for the kind words! We have all been through sellers remorse at one time or another!
Very cool.
Thanks!
Absolutely amazing! Jaw dropping! Thanks for the tour. From one WNY’er to another. Man, I miss the Super Flea!
You and me both!
Just happened upon your channel and this post specifically... amazing and very impressive. I Love, Love, LOVE your Sega custom cabinet. Can you provide or point me in the direction of more info on it? I would like to make one as well.. I assume you are using Mame software or the like for the game roms, but would be very interested to know the specs and parts you used... right down to the custom fridge in the lower half! Thanks! Happy collecting!
Hey, thank you for the kind words! There are a lot of tutorials out there on DIY cabinets, infact it seems to be a huge emerging hobby/industry. My 14/ cabinet is pretty straight forward, the system runs a Raspberry Pi 4, and the operating system is retropie although I now prefer recalbox (both are free to download). Just a 23" monitor, common components and some speakers under the cabinet. I would not recommend the specific fridge I used because it has had problems, but anything the right size will do. You can hunt down the ROMs online or download entire retro themed images that people share. This guy's channel is a decent place to start: kzread.info Good luck!
