Lego, Dr Who, Action Force & much more!

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: i want to tell you about these action force because these aren't quite as they seem there is a bit more to them these are hold on hi john breakfast here now where were we doesn't do things quietly john so where were we last time i'm going to use this like a pointy stick today we're going here here and here um last time we we the shop's changed so much since last time and and that's what we want to show you so yeah i mean like you guys in the comments point out what's changed because i can't remember now we've gone through so many different metamorphosis metamorphosis of the shop i don't really know what to do but yeah come on let's see what we've got lots of cool stuff we've got gaps in here this is on a day we're closed we film this family when we're closed we've got some gaps that have appeared but one of the things i'm really fond of in here is the tsuda alien what i love about this is kind of like a faithful reproduction of that original 1979 kenner but done on a whole lot cheaper budget so it's really cool and it's got an age to it now it's 1995 i was only just out of school and short trousers then well a few years out but you know what i mean i was a working age i'm not sure i'm working age anymore but you know what i mean the lego cabinet as well now we've had a disaster in the leg cabinet followers of our social media will have seen somebody keeps stealing our hair what's with that people keep coming in so we've had to lock the cabinet but i can't even get into it when it's unlocked so but we've tried to change it quite a bit it's been really successful but we still have the problem with lego figures falling over because we haven't put them on stands so it's a bit of a disaster in there it's after a saturday the shop always looks like this so this is what we do generally on a thursday we spend our days putting the shop back together it would have been done on a monday but we had other stuff to do monday you see so but yeah it's uh looking good in there and all the lego figures are all the same price just five pounds each which on some a little bit overpriced when others though it's an absolute bargain but yeah we can't bother to price them all individually leave that for the other guys oh no what have i started jazz what have i started they are the worst figures in the world for falling over and the problem is once one goes it sets the rest of them off so you have to kind of like clear a big pathway these guys got big feet you'd have thought they stand up really easily but and they do but they're not immune to the domino rally effect that always happens but there we go i think that's been quite successful apart from some adipose which have fallen over i think that's quite a successful let's not push our look but i am going to stand these adipose up as well because these are really cool i mean that they're kind of scary in the episode but kind of cute people like them oh no i've got really big hands oh no oh no pull him again please my favorite doctor as well pull oh i've gone off him can i just leave that that'll do that that listen that's a job for amy tomorrow that's that's what that is i wanted to talk about plush toys now plush toys are are great and what's more all of us at some point had a plush toy we cuddled it when we sleep some of us still do i've got a highland cow and he's called cornelius the cow and he's got a coffee smell in his head and i sleep with that guy every night but there we go jen bought it me it's her fault but you might have slept with errol i'm not saying casting aspersions here um and that would have been lovely however and most plush toys are great and there is so many lovely i mean there's yawneys there i mean like look at that lovely old yawney i mean that weird weird rabbit if you never see these with the actual with the actual bottle but she's got a bottle they're lost and found but the eyes freak me out this thing cries man it's like with nell and i uh yeah um but one i don't know how much she'd have cut old hazel as a kid from water shipped down even her ears are depressed water shipped down man it was not i've got one of these in my own collection this is another one we brought in you don't see these with the tags these are spicy these are pricey ones a lot of these toys are quite cheap um but this one isn't this is more pricey but would you have cuddle that as a kid i'm not sure i would it was kind of like a haunting film that and this is me not a film buff and i know this i'm still haunted by and i will not re-watch the film but yeah kind of looks out of place with all the cuteness but i don't know i do love it now did i ever tell you about the time i went to buy some fraggles and ended up in a loft buying the biggest stars collection you've ever seen i only turned up because i wanted the fraggles essentially i went down there on the premise of eight fraggles and a certain agreed amount um which was not as it says on here 20p each is what he paid for them from a car boot sale in the 90s um but i bought them they were in a carry bag he couldn't believe it he was excited about his star wars stuff you know star wars stuff generally was all 90s early 2000s i was a bit like that i spent a fortune with him and ended up shilling stuff down out the loft and do you remember those big ikea boxes there's a really big one with the two handles i was holding on to those carrying them out of a loft and he because he was selling the house he got plastic down i had no shoes on so you know i'm a big man carrying this box down the stairs it was unbelievable and it was just box after box after box but yeah a bit of a nightmare but the things you do for a fraggle people the things you do for a lovely little fraggle so toxic crusaders are a line which i tend to i never get one in i always end up getting the multiples in so i've got a couple of dr killimoffs and one's on the website right now and this one as well and they're both absolutely mint so and we've got some loose ones knocking about as well so it's quite nice to have some uh toxic crusaders and i've got more on the way so i've had a bit of a run on them all those years ago i had all those hovercrafts and different things that came out the shop stock find and a few carded figures but yeah it's nice they always come in threes what's with that i can buy one toxic crusader i always end up buying three or four but i love them they're great looking figure so this is one of the lights and sounds moglins a little bit later this is from tim clark's own collection this was a an early model of it and as such it's quite a pricey one but yeah i really like this it's really cool and these always sort of deteriorate the straw this is a really nice example but yeah but just because tim had it it's quite pricey it's too pricey really i do really like it so it could stay here for a bit go back on there don't sell it i want to keep that there you go stay up there i have a love hate relationship with stretchy toys they're annoying because they deteriorate they go weird they go hard and they generally don't last very well as you'll see this one's already sitting funny in the packet and it's what happens with all these stretch toys like the hulk and all the old ones from the 70s they go hard they shrink uh and they get generally just problematic and also they're heavy so if you hold that and don't sit around that will come on he says doing it i was holding on to it it's all right don't panic toy police don't panic he's so disrespectful right but they do they are heavy so they do drop off the card so it's nice to have this one this came off my mate kenny in america who's been looking after me recently with some great great finds i can't finally sold one so if somebody wants to tell me what to price it at um then do it rather on pc lines on there though we'll leave up the comments to spot that but there we go but yeah lovely toy i like these as well look this is another cool thing now creepy crawler is not a line that we get in the uk very often but this one came in and is absolutely lovely one of the best characters squirminator what a great name have you ever wanted to be haunted by a small rodent well now's your chance you could take home this wonderful knockoff space mice biker mice from mars not only that and if you can hear he makes noises exactly like a mouse would that's in space and it's not at all generic falling space arcade game i think the batteries are leaving the building his eyes are meant to light up which is would be quite scary but these are expensive now these are spicy mice spicy mice come and buy a spicy mouse if you want one i don't know why i bought that but it's got a power rangers knock-off gun as well power rangers knock-offs biker mice knock off and it makes terrible noises and if you get some new batteries these eyes will light up yeah i think i think somebody might want to be haunted by this mouse and have it in their house pop back over to the lego cabinet to show you some of the nice sealed original yellow face star wars lego we've got in which is uh the og um for me it still feels fairly modern because i'm that old and ancient now i've been doing it so long these were new in the shops when i was starting out so you know really cool really cool sets oh these are these these were these were these were great these are a bit more modern but i really liked i really like these sets and they were really cool at the time but yeah that's the worst one though a bit boring it but then that's really cool you had a nice vader a nice emperor these yellow face something doesn't doesn't agreed with him and there's loads in here all sealed all brand new and that that yoda is really cool just really cool like little molded head it's really ace but yeah loads and loads of light stuff like that nice sealed sets of lego i love as well the stable mate of lego when you went on holiday to europe this is what you got tente tente you into italy i love it i used to i used to get this stuff from like the cheap shops over here and uh because you know we did get lego but my nephew jp same age as me i've explained this many times had some tente and i used to love playing with it with the weird little space with the little spikes on their feet quickly pick my five favorite things out this cabinet this is not one of them june sandworm get back in the cabinet you weird looking thing and comments be careful keep it pg thank you very much five favorite things in this cabinet what to pick what to pick what to pick lovely early guy king is it i'm rubbish with the names of the uh shoguns but he's really really nice really really cool and he's old you've got a bit of age to it so that's one of my favorite things let's find another four to go four to go oh i should pick a dragon oh no oh fearful beast of ferra a fearful beast of ferra it's an expensive horse it's an expensive horse it's a really expensive horse with his red eyes he's from the vets don't he there you go he's another favorite in there so he's an expensive one oh got old turnip head up there as well he's a pricey boy that's two so i've got two i'm not counting turnip head oh let's pick obliques because that is me isn't it you know essentially me that's one of my favorite things i love these i think this is one of the bully figures rather than the other manufacturers so bullyland figure really really cool so i love all the asterix stuff don't i but yeah he's he's definitely up there so that's three four i'm gonna go centurions that's the pencil top eraser so i just i love this sort of rubbish it's great so that's my number four it is four isn't it yeah i'm not very good at counting it's four i mean i should pick a dragon rider i want to pick but i want i'm gonna pick i'm gonna pick something from this side and i'm not picking the actual force because i want to talk about that in a minute because it really bears worth talking about what on this side what on this side well now let's pick oh i don't know right we're going to count these as one so these these are just fantastic figures from the hand of melbourne cramp so yeah i'm definitely all in so that's my top five in this cabinet at the moment but you know what i could look again and it could all change but i want to tell you about this action force figure because this is a story all on its own zoids well they're not zoids are they what are they action force right on the top it says zoids so what are they action force zoids these are so cool man greek freaks the greek freak Yanis Antetokounmpo well these are our own greek freaks because inside lies an action force figure unlike any other and as in it's a visionary no holograms even his staff and all just you could get them all all the gang wittequick leoric everybody you could buy them all in an action force packaging with zoids written on the box i think they just had all the licenses all at once and no money so they just basically plowed this stuff out no holograms because the holograms were the expensive bit on visionaries weren't they and that's why they went bang but these are sealed brand new in the bag oh man yeah that's deserving of its own video really a real history lesson on them but i think i've got time for that today because i've got more amazing stuff to show you around the shop so we bought a huge huge amount of third party and masterpiece transformers most of which are in the shop now so loads up the tops so you gotta watch the tops and loads down the bottom as well so if you're looking for masterpiece and third party transformers may i suggest top and bottom would be your best but i do all suggest top and bottom right all up on the tops here all up on the tops here and all around here i should have used my pointy stick here here and here but let me show you around here there's loads more look at this little lot all the way down the bottom here all the way down there third party transformers for days people and we've got loads and loads of modern as well it's transformers are crazy at the minute in here so the max steel line was quite a long running line from the states and it continued for a long time in fact till fairly recently but these were rather controversial and as such had to be removed from sale why is that well we're talking about the time period in the wake of the twin towers attacks in the us there was a sensitivity to anything involving that so in these on each and every one of them it tells you that the bad guy this guy here vitriol was going to blow buildings up and each one of them details it on the back so in that environment they had no other choice but to take them off sale but we've got them on sale now in the shop today wait mate mate you want to see some pictures look at that that's the kind of picture that gets me going i love it what was this joe well this was a shop window back in the 1960s and 70s this is amazing it's a toy of the year awards window and look at this it's all action man this is part of a palletoy hall i uncovered probably over a decade ago of beautiful photographs taken by palletoy and well on their instructions that were recovered from an old employee so so in sports limited because that's what they did back in the day sports shops in the uk also sell toys and it's brilliant it's lovely in fact what you can't see is the other side of this window because i've lost that photo i need to try and find it but the other side of the window it's got some deep sea diving activities going on but it's wonderful so my old foe if you watched our last video you'll know is this cabinet um what how do we solve a problem really well we could put more shelves in it but the problem we have with the lower shelves you can't see anything so we got a local artist to come up with something amazing make us some displays we said for knockoff master of the universe sort of generic figures that we could put on it so it's a work in progress it's very much as you see at the moment it kind of gives you an idea of what it'll be like but this will be a thriving environment full of amazing action figures and they're brilliant aren't they i absolutely love them i love the colors he's really made everything pop so i love this cabinet it just i i mean don't get me wrong getting this cabinet in the door in the first place was an absolute nightmare i never want to repeat but once it was in man it looks cool it's a really quite nice bit of die casting at the moment corgi vegas ford thunderbird but really it's that the ufo interceptor it's so iconic why did they do it in green guys why well the answer to that is dinky had no paint left and white so they went we'll just do it green blue thunderbird two yeah we'll do that as well kids won't mind the falling value of these toys is never lost on me though heinz 57 big bedford which was always a really really expensive toy not anymore really really reasonably reasonable in price these days i do love them but they are not what they once were and that would have been i don't know one of the most exciting things to get in we've had loads of dinkies in and we've sold them all so there is still a market there it's just not quite the market it was which makes me kind of sad hello so there's part of the shop that you've never seen it's the basement come on right please don't judge it by first appearances it's not good i've not prepared this room at all this is where there's just toys everywhere but there's boxes of stuff everywhere and it's to sort so transform you got your torch transformers everywhere loads and loads of transformers these are left out they need to be gone through and worked out some nice stuff in there look really nice see this room was our stock room it's where most things lived and as you'll see well it's pretty much empty where is it all well it's on the internet it's on www.lestervintage.co.uk and that's why it's empty this is the thing with having a shop you have so many different things to keep like all the stuff that you have to keep in places and i don't know how people do it with no space around them i did it for years though so i must have done it for a while but like you just need space you need to be organized i've got space but i'm not very organized so and if you're wondering oh yeah joe is that a new t-shirt yes it is available on our section of merchandise on lester vintage.co.uk but it's not out yet so this is a pre-release one but you know very soon you'll be able to click and get one it's cool isn't it lots of other stuff coming as well mugs hats you whatever we can get our name on we're going to get a name on it and hopefully we'll get it on you as well you don't want to go in the other room do you you know we want to go in the other room you're going to want to go in the other room aren't you oh it's through there mind your head oh headaches this way not written by me written by a previous oh dear seriously even i have to duck very low from this point there are signs everywhere because basically everybody's banged their head and none of them put in by us this is a health and safety nightmare i don't know what to tell you this is the auction this is where stuff goes and basically uh get sent to the auctions i'm not even looking in here because this is the clearest it's been for quite some time but there are boxes of toys in here that have just been in here for a long long time so we've come from the deep dark dingy basement we're going to take you into the office because the office is where basically this is the hub this is where we work from the rest of the week everybody thinks joe joe joe you're only open three days a week thursday friday saturday oh on mondays as well now what are you doing the rest of time sitting on your hands no i'm packaging stuff up getting stuff out the door making sure that we buy enough stock that's a really important part of the whole process of having a shop you know what i've got the biggest admiration for people that do it with no space like with no space around because i i use so much space up just with stuff bags all the things that you need to run a shop even making sure you've got the right amount of tags of tape of boxes of different of the right type of box look double thickness boxes we use these because some of the the things that we sell are very spicy indeed so yeah that's why we do it but the office has been an absolutely brilliant thing for me it's amazing it's where i keep some of well jen's took it over with lego if i'm honest with you but some of my collection lives here as well which is nice to see but yeah it never stops at leicester vintage all week long seven days a week ah but i tell you what i love every flipping minute of it so guys thanks very much for watching the video as you're here i'm struggling with a cough and a cold so we appreciate you guys sticking around if you've made it this far give yourselves a pat on the back if you want to come and
