Show in the same vein as American Pickers, where this guy goes and searches for vintage toys from the 60s-80s. Can't tell you how many times I watch him pick something out of some collector's horde and go "damn, I had that exact toy when I was a kid."

Then he tells you how much it's worth and I hate myself for every actually opening them up and playing with then. I could seriously retire on all the Star Wars, Star Trek, G.I. Joe, and Transformers I had when I was 10.

Same here man. I have seen alot of the shit I had go for good $$$ on that show.

I don't want to know how much the star wars toys I had when I was 7 would be worth now. Probably just depressing to find how much money I lost by melting Darth Vader on the Franklin stove.

You sick Motherfucker

I still have a fully functional Megatron that I kept when my boys outgrew the toy stuff.

Megatron was cool as hell. NFW you could market a toy that looked exactly like a P-38 today.

Our toy guns were the shit! I had what my friends called " The armoury" as a kid. I probably got a new toy gun every month. They would come over and everyone had a toy long arm, a sub gun and a pistol or 2. To the point to where we could play WW2, Vietnam or Deta Force and be pretty period correct.

I had M-16s that looked like M-16s,M-1's that looked like M-1s, Uzi's that looked like Uzis an AK-47 that was so realistic it almost got me shot by one of my step dad's vet friends when I jumped out the bushes in all black, web gear and a Boonie hat. "Fuck Walt I almost drew down on your boy here! He looks like a Gook! Little fucker understands an ambush I see." (Guy had been wounded by and killed a VC who came out at him just like that I was told.)

I had a steel and wood 1911 you could rob a liquer store with.


I will say my boy's Nerf blasters are neat as shit. Interchangable parts, rails, for handles, optical sights. Great cival defense toys but painted yellow and blue. My oldest allready handles it like a pro, no from the hip bullshit. First time he shot a paintball gun last month he was dead on after the first few rounds.

My shit was all black or camoed out like the pics of the weapons I would see in old SOF mags.

In rural NY we played war and then as we got preteen we started using BB guns on each other.
