[00:00:18] Speaker 2: Yes, I will be doing some toy pointing because I'm semi-retired. I'm semi-retired, so I don't have to buy everything. I just look and point. He has to. He spends the money. I just point. And I only have five bucks with me. Yeah, five bucks. What can you get for five American dollars? Not much. [00:00:57] Speaker ?: We'll be right back. [00:01:27] Speaker 2: We'll be right back. We'll be right back. And, uh, hold on. Do you have any interest? Do you have these guys? No, I don't. Okay, well, here. Let me just give you this. Rather than sort them out. Let me make sure there's nothing else in the bottom. For you. For you. [00:02:46] Speaker ?: For you. For you. [00:02:46] Speaker 2: For you. No way. How much do you want? This is for you. He said that you were looking for a Predacon. I am downsizing my collection. And as I'm finding things that people really, really want, I am trying to give them to people. So, uh, I gave an Australian friend my entire Sergeant Slaughter collection. So, please, have, uh, Predacon and his friends, uh, on me. Uh, compliments of the United States of America. Wow, thank you. You're welcome. You're welcome. [00:03:19] Speaker 1: He gave me a Mickey Mouse Cobra Commander. No way. [00:03:22] Speaker 2: Yes, yes. So, uh, yeah. Um, but see, now, my burden is a little bit lighter. And yours is a little heavier. Yeah. No, no. Yeah. Yeah. [00:03:49] Speaker ?: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. [00:07:49] Speaker 2: he bought all the things again [00:08:01] Speaker 1: look at it oh that's heavy i made it home i'm pretty damn exhausted but boy was it a fun day hanging out all day with steve and his lovely fiance that was just awesome as well as one of my oldest and best friends who drove us and hung out with us the entire time i never had so much fun it was an amazing experience now steve isn't here right now but i have a feeling he might show up in other videos he might even be right next to me some other time you'll have to wait and see for now let's tell you about all the toys i got this time i'm not sure where to start so we'll start small one of the most hated characters from gi joe the movie that wasn't cobra law i just had this had to get this reaction big lob now there are uh big loves available from hasbro uh as convention exclusives or club exclusives but they were very expensive and this wasn't so uh yeah i'm letting super seven uh do the honors and put big lob in my collection and i got a second super seven figure arctic destro which is fun and they will go well with my arctic cover commander from reaction yeah i am genuinely exhausted so uh bear with me i know yeah super seven isn't everybody's cup of tea but i'm i'm impressed with these figures so uh these all ring figures i think they're nice other stuff okay this you just got uh if you that the early access exclusive artwork uh from the convention some kind of swizzle stick um candy i have no idea what that's supposed to be a can of red bull for some reason you know given the audience that's intended for shows like these vintage toys yeah we can use all the energy we can get i don't mind telling you by the end of the day we were very satisfied very happy but very very tired and poor steve still has a train ride ahead of him as we speak oh i can't show this because it's for the charity drive it's gonna be the price so i have to keep that a secret sorry i got the european exclusive action force kayak thing that i mentioned in a recent ranking well not that recent but you know what i mean for only 10 bucks so that was very very nice to have i got a superfly jimmy snuka this i was looking at more wrestling figures uh from hasbro but they were all a bit pricey so i kept uh one and that was fairly cheap oh this was another early bird thing it's a muscle man vintage i'm not sure what i'm supposed to do with it but i'll take it and you know me you know what i'm about original cobra trooper crimson guard and viper no accessories but for about 30 bucks i had to get me some more army builders i have no idea where i'm gonna put them the shelves are pretty full which you'll be uh i know uh people have been asking me timur come on why don't you do a video showing off your collection once again it's been 12 years and i don't remember well you're getting that just not on my channel hcc 788 is gonna be doing that and finally another three gi joe figures they're not they're from hasbro's 94 95 mortal combat line lu kang kano and young chang tung who as some of you know used the unproduced body of budo version 3 i want to say that was supposed to be in the 1995 gi joe line that was cancelled so very happy with those and those are all the action figures i got you'll notice that i only have like one item that isn't gi joe or gi joe related yeah i kind of surprised myself normally i get a more of a variety of stuff and for a vehicle the radar now there are some pieces that are uh broken that need some tlc but it's a project it's it's fixable and it was only 35 bucks so i'm happy with this and it'll be a nice little project for me and finally this will come as no surprise because you know you've seen the intro to this video this thing is heavy it's the pit from the 2009 live action movie uh toy series yeah i wasn't planning on getting that to be honest and in fact i was you know i saw it but nah then my buddy pointed out the price tag on it 10 bucks no i'm not kidding i at first i thought maybe it's like a serial number this is the 10th toy he has and there's a price on a list somewhere no no no it was actually 10 bucks it's uh it wasn't a professional seller they don't have an official toy shop it was a collector who wanted to get rid of some of his stuff and he did not want to take that thing back home with him because i said this was this is really heavy and it's really big so i see why and he says yeah you can have it for five bucks so then my buddy goes either you're buying it or i'm buying it for the grandchildren that i'll eventually have so yeah screw you future grandkids it's mine now i have no idea where i'm gonna put the bloody thing but yeah the seller was practically begging me to take it and he knew about my channel maybe that had something to do with it i don't know but at any rate yeah five bucks i would call that i wish i had called it on camera but it blindsided me we weren't filming at the time but yeah that's the toy pickup of the century if not the millennium i wonder if the guy has a uss flag he wants to get rid of probably not anyway so yeah that's the final piece and it's the piece de resistance wow do you know now why i'm so tired i got to hold this thing all the way to the car then all the way up the stairs here the couch is in my future laying on the couch maybe watch some star trek or something that was it for what i for everything i got from the con however we're not quite done as you know hcc 788 he came to see me he came to go to come to the con and he brought stuff with him one thing i particularly asked him to do and that was i asked him for five dollar bills there was a brick there because a truck came thundering by outside why did i do this because i wanted to use it them for maybe a future video as props maybe to make it rain or something or something else and yeah i gave him five euros for it so he came out ahead and now i have us dollars which is neat but wait there's more he brought me more super 7 stuff and if you thought gi joe couldn't get more american these are from the 250 250th anniversary of independence day you got lady j you got falcon and you got duke in these well those color schemes sure are a choice he brought those for me and he brought one more more thing probably the favorite thing that he could bring the night force version of the shark i have to look i keep forgetting what they're called they're all they're all night something night shade i don't know it's uh only missing the bombs who are horribly orange so uh i'm not gonna bother to track those down i'll just put uh shark version one uh torpedoes there and we'll call that good but yeah no this is an awesome toy to have it was obviously never released in europe because it was exclusive to toys rs in america and it's my first and only night force vehicle so very happy with that and that about wraps it up yeah so it was a wonderful day it was a weird day it was a day that i bought a pit i never thought i'd buy but come on five bucks yeah i uh it was just awesome the only word to describe it but now i'm very tired i'm hungry so i'm gonna get something to eat can i be on my couch and just relaxing well i'll see you next time everybody and hey why not like share and subscribe if that's your thing
