We are vintage toy collectors, and maintain a large archive of vintage and sometimes rare toys. We perform restoration of these toys in order to preserve both history and treasured childhood keepsakes, not to sell them for profit.

Star Trek Post-Mortem - Dropped Livestream Superchats?!
If you can dream it , Hasbro will destroy that dream
So the details that are missing are lights and sounds..Haslab dropped the ball and are banking on collectors jumping at it
Watta piece of junk
Price point is too high that's true.as is what Mattel has with the Eternia playset,scaled to origins.. but yeah the second death star would be a good one too.with the details that can be achieved today.the unfinished look would be wonderful.at least we are getting more background characters
They should have reissued the Kenner cantina playset
This is a pretty solid idea.
Highlander2 sucked, but the others where better, but still not as good as the first.
It's not just a cliche, it's the truth; a bad apple can ruin the whole barrel 😞 I've not heard or lost money from this guy but I'm glad we can purge our hobby world
Uff references
United Faculty of Florida?
Wonderful video, reflects my feelings on the Filmation line (Which dragged me into Origins). I'm not a huge MOTU fan but love the originals and the filmation line is a dream, I hadn't bought Origins before then and it was a great place to start IMO.
Kinda makes me glad to live in Europe as they are manufacturing a lot of releases over here. I think Paramount in particular is getting all their worldwide releases pressed here in Germany. Not sure where Warner bros over here gets their discs manufactured but the only issues i ever ran into with their discs are all from the very early era. Nothing post 2003 and onwards. They always made sure most of their older DVD Masters always got freshly manufactured batches on DVD over the years (which is why your copy of Air Force has this ghastly Eco Case) but at the same time a lot of other titles became OOP and VERY expensive. Such as "Dolores" or "Doc Hollywood" for some reason.
Yeah i get your sentiments with the early days of DVD. It truly sucked at first. No anamorphic encodes (only letterbox), just highly compressed single-layer discs (i hate compression artifacts) or FLIPPER discs that you had to flip mid movie like a CLV Laserdisc.. and not even lossless Audio but highly compressed MPEG Stereo mostly or only Dolby Digital AC3, which was almost exactly like Video CD. HOWEVER once Duallayer discs and anamorphic encodes came around, Laserdisc was actually starting to lose. I have a few rotters in my collection and most of them are Warner. Batman Returns is one of those nasty cases of becoming unplayable because the varnish of the disc protective label side is attacking the reflective layer and creates bubbles so the laser beam does not properly bounce back to the reader. You can even see the bubbles with the naked eye. Mine is a original late 90s pressing with that Warner Snapper case.
IT'S BACK
Disingenuous is Warner Bros. name... Nowhere on the packaging do these disk have an expiration date.
20:43 character options must’ve watched this because they’ve released a figure of the fur coat second doctor months ago lol 😂
Do you plan on painting the finished one? Or just leaving it as the bare Plastic?
Streaming has never been real. But this video also shows what "collector" really means. It's just a personal vault at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
I watched a lot of overseas martial arts movies back in the 80's and 90's. I stopped watching Jackie Chan movies because of that terrible The Tuxedo movie he was in.
the micro worlds playsets were amazing. I had death star world and its probably my favorite toy from my childhood (unfortunately it seems like i have almost none of it left, but am looking for one on ebay mostly for nostalgia). I wish there were more toys like this. yeah the figures aren't poseable, but being able to act out so many scenes was great (and of course making up my own adventures for the characters)
You still have a Corn Dog 7?!
I knew the show existed and seen a lot of it's products and always been a bit put off by it all. The mechs looked okay but the hero characters were like not right some how. I did learn the heroes were 14 year olds and that really put me off of the anime having seen how these teenagers were being depicted in like figures or posters. After watching this video I now feel justified in not wanting to give this show a try. This show is just nuts.
No weathering on this playset it’s way too clean - even Jabba’s Throneroom had weathering
Thanks for this video.
Did you know that most Warner Brothers dvds have difficulty playing on PS2 slims??
There transporting the remains of there fallen and the horses were killed
$500 for beige plastic is probably how my mom sees all action figures.
Warner Archive is sooo important and they've downsized and underfunded that office so much over the years, they truly deserve all the respect
The Death Star (either one), Bespin Cloud City, The Emperors Throne Room, Hoth Rebel base, even the Rebel base on Yavin IV would have been a much better choice with more ‘playability’. The stretch goals on any of these have the potential to be fantastic. The old Palitoy/Kenner Cantina was ok but passed on by lots of fans at the time. This will probably sell out and then appear on eBay for stupid money. The Cantina had one purpose and that was to set up the meeting of Ben, Luke, Han & Chewie, nothing else. They sat round a table and struck a deal. Come on @hasbro give us something worth the money and worth the wait.
But I get what you are saying it’s not a practical choice …
You could populate it with G I Joe figures or any 3.75 figures lol
Unless you own a house with a giant empty room to use as a Star Wars room, where do you put all these lovely toys? I’m actually considering building a second story flat just to have that kind of space.
I made my Cantina out of an old toolbox and a bunch of random plastic - it’s also modular so I can pretty much make it whatever I want it to be as big or as little… and as far as re-creating scenes from the movie, that’s kind of boring after a while… currently my Cantina is being invaded by Fortnite action figures. Oddly enough, they fit right in.
One of the most ridiculous things about the last film was Indy carrying his outfit inside a bag like he was Spiderman or something.
Best suggestion: Get rid of the yellow lightsabers and replace them with the blue ones for Farmboy Luke and Bespin Luke Keep the green one for Jedi Luke
Remember: Wuher and the Tonnikas are only available with this Haslab. They will be some of the rarest Star Wars figures ever and command top dollars on the aftermarket.
Let’s not forget Hasbro also “promised” to make every single character that interacted with the Razor Crest in Mandalorian as an action figure… That was over 4 years ago and nothing has been done… They’re no different than politicians. All the promises in the world and can never deliver. 😂
Remember folks, Hasbro doesn’t make toys anymore, they make glorified pieces of PVC rubber.
It's not about emotion, it's about praxis. All the major studios now function under the stewardship of progressive activists, thus their products are infused with progressive, political claptrap. Activist art (propaganda) is constructed to elicit emotional responses from other activists and those sympathetic to their cause. This is why these products don't seem keyed to appeal to general audiences and why they eschew canon in favor of modern social commentary. It's not about diversity, never was.
Just bought my Jabba's Throne. Never had hum as a kid. Still need a Rancor...and Max Rebo band.
Its another BIG (movie staring Tom Hanks) moment. "What is so exciting about a robot that turns into a building?"
I think they missed the "Elephant in the room". In 82' editor in chief at Marvel was "Jim Shooter", a plug to a Marvel Executive.(!)
I can't prove anything, but do you remember in the 80s or 90s when scientists developed biodegradable plastic so grocery bags would degrage and disintegrate in the sun? I think it was the early 90s. I believe there is a correlation between the introduction of these plastics and CD/DVD disk rot. It's just a hunch.
Hasbro wants to abandon toy making. They want to be 100% digital. But they don’t have the buyers for digital platforms to keep the company from going bankrupt. Obviously the individual green lighting these Haslabs is not a Star Wars fan.
I want to see these failed discs under a microscope
Put them under a lamp and if you see small spots, the disc is rotting
Revisiting this. I agree with everything you’re saying. I feel bad though because I ordered that Razor Crest. I ordered the Ghost. If they had offered that Andor haulcraft I would’ve ordered it in a heartbeat. I want the Cantina, but NOT for 499 dollars. I HATE that you don’t get the product for a whole year. I love all the excitement it generates in the community, but it does seem a little nefarious. I went to pre order the E-wing because I finally had the money, and it was sold out. They definitely make doing business with a pain in the ass…
These movies were made for, and by, activists. That's why they suck, that's why no one outside the echo chambers wants to see them.
