I don't know what the first figure was to use outside light sources to make the eyes glow but I do remember the Darkseid figure from the Super Powers line had that feature.
Hey, thanks for video I just went three today and it was amazing so thanks for review there....good job with Star Wars reviews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D
Sorry I noticed I wrote a few typos instead of Gina it was meant to be gonna and I didn't mean to wright ' like every store" I meant to say like every star wars figure lines. And they have gi joes to staring lineups to everything!!! But anyways hope you can check it out and please reply.
There's a store JUST LIKE THIS where I live. It's called the toy exchange it's located in weaton Maryland close where I live. They sell toys from 1940s to now! Even vintage star wars figures and you can get some out if the package for 2 dollars without accessories I mean they have everything star wars and like every store. I'm Gina try to get a job there next year and please check it out type in the toy exchange on your main computer site. You will not regret it and please reply!
I live like 40min from them, and actually just had the owners son Josh, gf, and two brothers over last night for games and food. GREAT family, and GREAT store. Josh is the man for Magic the Gathering if anyone is interested. Also, they have a comic pull with a discount for back issues when you sign up, best part is, the sign up is free :) very cool video man. hope to see you around.
@DeltaNeoXD Ha, that’s funny! I didn’t spend that much, it was more like 250. The stormtrooper was 60, 3po was 50, and the carded luke was 50 (good deal for the condition). He gave me the Lando for 15 as a discount. The comics and turtles were cheap too. I wish I had brought 600 with me. I could have gotten that rancor statue! I’m glad you liked the place. I plan on going back next month some time. Thanks!
@fullMETALhead22 Most of them were listed as 5 for 10$ or 3$ each which is a really good deal. the ones in good condition and the rare ones were behind glass so i didnt see the price. they have a giant R2D2 full of figures for 2 bucks each but they are mixed with old and new. It's a good palce to go just for brouwsing so it couldnt hurt.
Checked out this store in person. Save yourself a trip unless you're looking for horrifically overpriced merchandise. Pretty much everything was selling for a premium. Modern carded prices were dramatically inflated and the vintage stuff wasn't even worth considering unless you love throwing your money away. You could do a lot better on eBay or collector trading forums. I kid you not - they actually had a loose POTF2 Mon Mothma going for $10. Getting the picture? Purely ridiculous.
reallly cool video i actually used to work at a collectible toy store for a couple of yrs. it was called plastic dreams in NJ. Igot to see stuff like that all the time and got first crack at stuff when collections came in.
The earliest light-piping figure I can think of is Darkseid from Super Powers, but I THINK the figure of Steve Austin The Six-Million-Dollar-Man might predate everything as it had a similar gimmick where you could see through his eye through the back of his head, as demonstrated in the film "The 40 Year Old Virgin."
Great video! I'm glad you liked the store your reaction was the exact same as mine when I first walked in. Thanks for the shout out the store also sells on eBay. You have done it again with another great video!
I live in Cleveland & have been to this store, very cool place for sure. There's also a great chocolate store in town, I think it's Deliciously Different & their Canal Mud is awesome, yummy! Thx for the upload.
I have a vintage store that sells old star wars figures dozens of them ,loose and sealed it's a really cool store on the beach in good old Ventura California one of the only vintage star wars stores.
they got to have stores over here on the west coast...especially in hollywood. i would imagine there is some small store tucked away somehwere. although i imagine the price would be higher for some reason
@etheangel2220 I was worried about the prices here but it was actually very fair. Some of the Mint on the Card figures were only 5-10 dollars more than my collector guide lists them for, but when you consider that the guide is 5 years old, the figures were in good condition, there were no ebay fees or shipping cost, and the store needs to make a profit to stay in business- I thought it was very reasonable.
@RebelScum619 They varied in price but they were reasonable. I use the 2006 Warman's price guide and if it had a mint figure priced at 80 he was selling for 85 or 90. I thought that was a good price considering all the benefits of buying in a store instead of ebay, plus they were in good condition.
A lot of G2 Transformers used translucent plastic for the eyes and continue to use it today. The term used in the TF community is "light piping". Maybe if you do a search on that term you'll find out some more about it.
Wow! castle greyskull! (grayskull?) The Fly! super nice selection. Thanks for sharing that with us, and nice pickups too! Thumbs up for this great video
wow shame about your photos not coming out and you vid footage maybe next time when you go it will work out hope you do would love to see the toys in more detail. nice pick ups too
Man it would be great if there was a store like that close by.That is what I get for living in the sticks--hahaha---Looking forward to the comic reviews.
i have a question about the carded luke in jedi gear. i know it comes with a cloak and a lightsaber, but did it also come with a blaster? i got it when i was 6 and i cant remember if the gun i am thinking of came with him, or klaatu.
@boojwahz Yes id does come with a blaster, it's a light grey one with a little scope on the back. I think several of jabba's guards carried them too. Thanks!
@boojwahz I think the only other time they included the blaster was with the 2004 SAGA/OTC collection "Luke Skywalker (Jabba's Palace)/(Jedi Knight)". You can see it at Rebelscum-dot-com. Hopefully this new one they're promising will come with a blaster. And I wouldn't say no to inter-changeable hands, either(normal, gloved, battle-damaged).
@micahc6v8 this is awesome but i was thinking that there was a leia in bounty hunter costume at the starwars shop that i go to with the helment that came off and it was the same size as the storm trooper that you got it was $7 is it worth somthing?
