I used to collect vintage film posters. I ended up selling my collection (200+) and kept just one poster which is a rare version in terrible used condition (pin holes, folds, tears, stains etc), but it has a story to it which makes it far more interesting now it's framed.

Fixing toys is honorable. You give something a new life. My favorite figures in my collection are the ones with flaws and that I fixed.

I don’t like collecting anything for value. I don’t want it because other people want it. I want it because *I* want it. And the only value it has is the value I placed on it myself. Great video.

That red action man save was a work of art. Now he's the saltiest sea dog to ever cast a net in the North Atlantic. He may have even sailed to Antarctica with Shackleton! The number of skills you learn, the problem solving, the raw creativity and artistic talent on display are the real value in this hobby. I love both the restorations and customizations, and love watching the process.

I absolutely agree. As an experiment, I listed a 1977 vintage R2D2 I restored on eBay. I was honest that the yellowed plastic had been whitened, the dome was remetalized, the paint was redone, a leg was replaced, and the sticker was a reproduction. I think I spent $7 on the figure originally, $5 on a replacement leg, and $3 on the reproduction sticker. My total cost being $15. The figure was on eBay for 2 weeks, and I got quite a few messages that were frankly, incredulous that I had the nerve to sell a repaired toy alongside all the collectable original, and untouched R2D2s. Just today, the little droid sold for $27. The person who bought it was just looking for a nice display piece to help complete their collection, and was extremely happy to find mine at a considerable savings over other R2D2s that were in mint, display worthy condition. Was all the work and effort I put into the little R2D2 worth it for only $12 profit? Probably not, but a little droid that was headed for the scrap heap gets to live on, and be enjoyed by someone new. That makes me feel great. I will continue to buy old broken toys and repair them for my collection, and from time to time, I may pass them on to others. I'm certainly not going to get rich selling repaired toys, and I'm not in it for that. I'm in it for the joy I get out of taking something worthless, something someone thinks is trash, and giving it a second life. Thank-you for showing us all the way to enjoy the Wabi-Sabi in the things we love. Or to love our hobby BECAUSE of the Wabi-Sabi. Being hands on with my collection gives me so much more joy than simply looking at my toys, sealed in an acrylic case, afraid to touch them because they might lose value.

From what I look at it, all of my toys from when I was a kid are beaten up because I played with them and enjoyed them a lot when I was a kid. I know there are collectors out there that want really good condition toys, but those are going to be really rare. Why not restore them so we as adults can enjoy them a second time? I still get a kick that people are offended that you are cutting up LEGO pieces as if they were rare or something. It's like I tell my viewers, "I spent my money on the model, I can paint and build it up however I want. And a lot of the time I'll build it my way because I'm the one who has to look at it everyday"

Spot on Dave! I agree 100% with your collecting philosophy. Not everything is saught after for its potential investment value. The persue or hunt and the eventual path to restoration are what a majority of collectors value most. -Richard Fekete

You hit the nail on the head. Collect the stuff because you love it. If you have to repair it that means that you'll love it even more for the journey to get there. Great series by the way!

VALUE should never overtake ENJOYMENT, all of my collection is priceless to me and it's because of people such as your good self that I have managed to keep both my hobby going and my good lady relatively sane, the toys are buy like yourself are in horrendous condition sometimes but a little patience and some expert advice has brought them back not perfect but good enough to be enjoyed Thankyou for all you do

Wise words, Dave. I don't think that I have ever bought a toy because I've seen it as an investment. I've bought things because they didn't exist when I was a child - Character Options' Doctor Who figures, for example. Or something I've seen in a magazine, that is ridiculously cool. Oftentimes, it will be seeing a toy I had, long ago, and the memory of it - what birthday, which relative, now long dead gave it to me, will bring me out in goosebumps, and occasionally, a tear or two - yes, it happens - memory is a powerful thing. Also, I ALWAYS open things. I can't take it with me when I die, and might as well enjoy it now. A recent study showed that playing with toy cars on the table or floor for a short while, whether you have kids or not, is a good stress reliever. And also, if a toy isn't 100% perfect, it doesn't matter. At all. It's never bothered me - 'Wabi-Sabi' is a good way to look at things.

I absolutely adore your repair/restore videos. For most vintage figures, a certain worn... played with quality is something I appreciate. But taking broken undesirables, putting the work in and returning them to glory? Fantastic. As for value, I imagine it absolutely depends on the person... and as long as someone is up front with what's been done? No problem for me. 🙂

I love your philosophy about collecting. More people need to focus on the fun of collecting, including myself at times.

As a toy fixer, collector, customizer myself of many decades I have the greatest respect for Mr Polloi and his tutorials, content and ingenuity. Ive learned so much from him. Value is not always measured in money. There’s great value in retrieving a-lost memory, finding joy in the process of repairing a long broken toy and sharing it with friends and family. Well said sir. Keep going and I’ll keep watching

done well, it should increase the value. even priceless works of art are cleaned, repaired and otherwise changed for the better

There are 2 main reasons i collect toys, the 1st is for the memories and 2nd is having those toys that i always wanted but never had and thats where the value is for me. In my opinion, if you're worried about the monetary value rather than enjoying your toys i'd sell now because that surely can't make you happy.

Want to say thank you for saying this. I am a collector but enjoy fixing old toys. My son and I build toys too. Its nostalgia value. You are one of my favorite channels ❤

This is an age old conundrum. Take in point a guy on one of the Antique shows. "Oh my, you have a chair that was documented without a doubt that Queen Victoria used in her court, it's priceless", sadly you varnished it so it's now worthless". I collect and restore cameras, I'd rather have one with a replacement covering and touched up paint rather than sitting on shelf with the paint chipped and coverings falling off. My guess is there will be two opposing camps in every collecting community. I am also not concerned with value, I want my cameras to look and work as the manufacturer meant them to be.

One of the very best videos you've ever made, I like and appreciate your attitude, tell it like it is, I'm not gonna let anyone discourage me, value is flattering but the enjoyment of the adventure is priceless, Mr Polloi some people get it some don't the ones that do I think have something special inside them that comes from the heart, as of lately I've been finding a few toys that people have thrown away on trash days, I've been cleaning and restoring them and giving them away free some kid will find enjoyment out of them, I have my personal collection fixing, restoring and customizing and lovingly every minute of it, maybe one day when I'm old i'll sell it all, or if I knew someone would appreciate it I would give it away, I like what you do and I have learned a lot from you, thank you and keep up the good work.

Some of my favorite channels on KZfaq are those dealing with conserving and restoring various things. I follow a large variety, from toys to tools and guns to fine art. It really annoys me when people focus on the investment value of objects, especially to the detriment of said objects. If you think the Star Wars toy community is bad - and, well, it can be - you should see the American gun collector market. Like the SW folks, they are absolutely obsessed with "originality." There are folks who would rather see a firearm rust away to oblivion than have its finish restored - and God help the gunsmith who replaces damaged (but original!) parts with newly-fabricated ones. I'm not talking about anti-gun types here. I mean folks who profess (often loudly and repeatedly) how much they love their right to bear arms, but sneer at anyone who actually maintains them beyond squirting some oil now and then. And then there's the classic car guys, and the less said about them, the better. It's just snobbishness. Folks like that want to be perceived as somehow special because of what they've bought. Anyone with enough money can simply buy any of these things. To me, the energy spent restoring a sad sack invests the object with far more value - not monetary, but that unquantifiable property that could be called "love." It's bringing an artifact back from the brink so that you, and people in the future, can hold and enjoy it as it should be enjoyed. Whether you're throwing parachuting dolls into the air, or bringing a retired warhorse of a rifle to the range to menace some paper, or finding that deserted stretch of highway and opening the throttle up on a classic muscle car - that's where you find value, in what brings you joy.

nice topic! im part of several groups around MOTU and they usually are always very worried about where the figure is from, matching accessories, etc..yes they are collecting, but always with a "how much will it be worth in the future?"in their mind. I like collecting, I don't really care if the accessories match country of origin or if they are reproductions I just want to collect, for the figures to display great and relive my childhood. I have gifted some of my repaired figures and always tell them that they are not original.

Very well said. The only problem with restorations is if someone tries to pass it off as original, and that is a problem in any industry. I grew up in the automotive world, working on old Alfa Romeos, going to shows, etc. I learned how to sculpt/mold/cast in order to make irreplaceable or one-off parts for vintage cars. We were always very clear that they were reproductions, and whenever possible displayed the damaged original beside the replacement. In the end, all that mattered was that the repair increase the owner's enjoyment of their car, and the same is true for toys.

As a collector, these are certainly words to live by.

I think you've highlighted the difference between collectors of toys and investors of toys.

I recently sold off some toys at a shop near me which is part of a very small chain. They have very specific rules stated up front as to how much they can offer for toys - they find an average price on the secondary market by searching eBay, then offer a percentage of that as store credit or slightly smaller percentage as cash. They almost seemed reluctant to make their offer, as though I'd be upset about it. It was significantly lower than I'd hoped, but also selling them was more about space than money. It's like you said - some people really miss the point of enjoying toys AS toys rather than just treating it the same way as people treat stock trading. Have fun with your hobbies, folks! That's the point!

As long as any repair/reproduction is disclosed when selling, there should never be an issue. I only restore for myself, but no one is going to tell me that I have to keep a trashed item just because it’s original. Even car collectors aren’t that picky! A restoration will almost always increase value unless done very poorly. If repro parts are used, it still increases value; it’s just not as valuable as original. That will always be the case with any collectible.

Fully agreed, Dave. At the end of the day, you've brought old toys back from the brink to play and displayable condition. Besides, it looks like fun to restore these childhood treasures.

"dont worry and enjoy it..." me: so head over to a collectors convention, and tear open a super rare mint in box toy in front of them and watch them scream? lol lol lol🤪

Im a collector myself and just wanted to say well said Dave

A cherished toy is a cherished toy. There is no and if or buts about it. Not all toys are perfect nor will they ever be but there is no shame in repaired toy. It’s not the toy that has value it’s the memories you made with it that are what’s important.

Anything you work on brother is priceless because you pour your heart and soul into these!!!👍

It's universal; if it's broken...and you fix it...it has worth! Well said! Toy on!

We totally agree. You can't really enjoy your collection if you see it as an investment; you would end up buying stuff you don't really like, just because of its value, or you would miss the fun you could get out of a toy keeping it sealed in its original package. Furthermore, the commercial value of an item does not depend on its beauty or real value: it might be important for collectors around the world, but not for you, and vice versa. We coulnd't think of selling some of our toys to buy other ones, simply because we could never grow tired of the toys we love. There is aldready an activity that forces us to do things we don't like following schedules and requests from people we don't like, and it's called JOB. Our collection is just ours.

Your add on about the tie fighter , I would agree if anything it looks like a real veteran of Star Wars ,,,not every fighter in a war looks like fresh paint and factory , some have been there and this one looks the part ,,,...if anything please finish replacing the missing bits but leave the stickers and mismatched covers alone it only adds to its charm . Thank You for posting keep up the great job 😊👍

I am a casual collector, at best. With that being said, I'll always prefer original stickers / parts when possible. But for harder to find items, I absolutely do not mind repro / DIY fixes. I don't collect to make money down the line. I collect things that I've either always wanted, or have had and no longer have. And that's why I really enjoy your channel, you fix things because YOU like them. Not because you're selling them to make a profit. (But even if you did, it wouldn't matter. Your videos are invaluable for many of us who end up having the opportunity to get a broken toy we've always wanted and a way to fix them!)

Couldn't agree more, Dave! I've just bought some vintage beater StarWars figures to customise during the lockdown!!! A lot of the joy in this hobby is the customising and restoration aspect! Keep up the great work and never let the detractors get you down!

I completely agree with what you said. "Collect them because you enjoy them". A lot of people always keep on asking me when ever they enter my toy room "how much is this and that"? Ar times I get tired of hearing he same question for the same or different person. Great video as usual sir!!!

One thing I learned from this channel is how to army build on a budget. And to me that's priceless info especially knowing how to repair and fix vintage toys . I've added so many things to my collection that were cheap because they had an issue or two. I avoid reproductions at all costs unless they're stickers because most of the stuff I'm collecting can be found even vintage star wars weapons . Love the channel and I hope you continue showing tips and tricks and restorations of the toys we love

Feel the same way. 1 life, enjoy it! Be happy......Your great and thank you for videos please keep them coming.....Enjoy your toys...

I got a mail-in only Boomer (Buma) figure from Bubblegum Crisis. It was new in box BUT due to soft joints and paint that glues said joints together, it instantly broke in 3 spots. So, I used a few cheap hobby joints off those sprues you can get from GK model, and it's now a proper action figure I love playing with... Well, not too rough. It's too rare to be replaced.

I loved your comment, that's exactly why I collect, to enjoy the figures, to touch them, to play with them when I posed them, not to stare at close boxes, If by any chances some of the figures I have I know it's value has considerably incremented I just enjoy the fact that I have that figure, I'm don't collect figures, action figures, etc just to sell them later... A year ago I sold some toy biz figures because I needed the money, but I really regret it, the first and last time I do that, I'm very proud of my vintage toy collection from the days I was a kid.

Your philosophy on toys is exactly the same as mine. I've done a couple of minor repairs to things, following your walk-throughs, and you're absolutely right. I feel more connected with the piece once I'm done. I buy the toys because I love them. I'm not looking to flip them.

Beautifully spoken Dave, speaking not as a collector but as a childhood repairer. Thanks to your tutorials, I'm putting extra years on my old toys just to hand them down to my grandson, and having a blast in doing it. REPAIR ON BROTHER....😎

Great video! You are spot on. As I've mentioned in comments on other videos of yours, toy collecting is no different than restoring a Model T Ford. There are enough reproduction parts available today to make almost a brand new car, authentic to the period Some guys don't want to do that and decide to hotrod the thing; others are purists, making sure the car is authentic down to the last cotter pin just to win the coveted Stynoski award. Then there are those that just want to make it drivable and don't care about how it looks. When I was trying to decide what color to repaint the dash in my car the comment that kept coming back was, "It's your car. Paint it whatever color you want." If a restoration well, the car will still retain value. I believe that toys are no different. We're only on this Earth for a short time. Wise words to make the hobby so you enjoy it.

You are so true!!! Thank you for your videos.

I absolutely agree with you. One of the things I enjoy most about adding a toy to my collection is the process of cleaning it and returning it to its original splendor. I have never worried about its value since I do not buy to sell. the simple pleasure of seeing them exposed and remembering how I found them and how they are now. I have learned many tricks with your videos and I encourage you to continue with them. a big hug from Tenerife. Esteban.

I know the value of these videos is priceless. Thank You!

Thanks for your clear words and statements concerning collecting and repairing toys. This helps a lot. And many people are inspired by your work and effort you put into your beloved toys. And in the end it is a joy to see how broken things get a nice treatment. Keep up the good work. Stay safe.

If it's repaired by Toy Polloi... priceless!

Very well said. Since I was a kid I always enjoyed my toys for the enjoyment they gave me. Since I found your site I have been using some of your tips to try and restore some of my old treasures. These days I have been able to reconnect more with the childhood figures I have had stored away. Thank you for sharing the magic you do and the joy you bring. Take care and be safe.

That is right something is worth what people are willing to pay for it. I am glad you addressed this topic. It did cross my mind when I watched a couple of your videos. I agree with you though. Collect because you enjoy them don't worry about the money. I wish more people were like you. So many in these hobbies are all about the money, it really takes a lot of the fun out it. I am amazed at some of the repairs you have done. I might try this with some broken figures in my collection. When I got into this I really had no intention of selling any of my stuff. It is the nostalgia that drives me. Keep up the excellent work!

Even today at 53, I don't mind finding even broken toys or remanufactured parts. Especially star wars a seller will totally cannibalize an item and sell each piece at a premium. I just want my ships or what not to look functional. Your channel has inspired me to say even get like a millennium falcon and see what I can do with. Toys are to be played with. I always want to open things up. They look so sad in the packaging. They need to be touched ,loved, and socialize with their friends. Lol. They matter to me. They just remind me of a happy time in my child hood. And I'm sure like most people when they tell you you're too old to play with toys they got rid of a lot of things they wish they hadn't. I wish I had all the things I once had or had sold at garage sales. But can't live in the past and hope they went to good home and hope someone had fun the way I did.

This is a great video. So may people this they are going to retire on the proceeds of selling some item in their collection. People have some very unrealistic views on things especially when it comes to unboxed, or boxed. Repaired or un-repaired. I see people all the time asking about getting into some kind of hobby collecting (x) and asking where to start. A lot of people will tell them to start by buying one of the most sought after item of that medium. I say find something to like and start there. Stop looking to collect for a possible return value and look for something that gives o pleasure.

I'm totally in agree with you, Dave!

Well said it's not what it's worth I love toy palloi as you are one of the only vintage resto channels out there love ya work

I don’t care about the value. I love saving these old toys (especially my old childhood toys)

Great Job Toy Palloi. I happen to love watching your toy restorations...especially Star Wars. I like how you show every step in great discriptive detail, with time lapse when needed, and photoshop creations. You make it look so easy and it is very entertaining watching you fix broken pieces with ingenuity. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to part 2 of the Palitoy DeathStar restoration. Keep up the great work!

Thanks to you I've been buying and fixing old tonka gobots and I am having so much fun doing it.

Thanks Toy Polloi. I really like the attitude that monetary value doesn’t matter, it is how the toy makes you feel.👍

I say NO it doesn't effect there value! Your doing a great things for these toys, your fixing toys that would have been thrown away! This is our generation what we grow up watching and playing with. If someone throws an old/broken toy away we all lose. A little bit of our generation is lost when a toy is thrown away. In my opinion your helping to keep our generation of fun/toys alive! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!

Great point of view ! My collection is full of mint items, but when I come across an older item that has damage to the figure or the box is in disrepair, I will put the effort into restoring that item. And because I've learned over time how to restore these "Holy Grails" it gives me added pride in the item. Mostly because I enjoyed the challenge, and now have a beautiful item ! I recognize the value, but I only collect what I like, not for an investment. These are treasures of a different sort !

I collecting for the nostalgia and pleasure of enjoy my collection I don't care valued!

That's a wonderful attitude and way to think about it.

Wow I loved the way those wings where battered looks like it's been into battle and it actually looked like it was supposed to look like that. Looked awesome I definitely would leave it like that 😊

Another great Toy Polloi video! That is a good attitude and mindset to have when it comes to these things. Some very good points and ways of looking on restoring and collecting toys.

Love your videos Dave! You breathe life into toys others would discard. Keep up the great work!!

I've just repaired a vintage At At. Initially it was filthy with no stickers missing parts and didn't work. After working on it , it looks and now works just as I remembered it when I had one as a young boy. And that for me what it is about the satisfaction of a job well done and memories, not whether the stickers are original or the fact I've use repro parts. Great vid

Well said 👍

Spot on advice Dave. Stay safe.

Exactly my point Dave, thanks, and have a great day my friend!

Well said Dave, many of those collecting and "value" sentiments i share with my hobby, retro video games so nice to hear someone else echo them.

I have been fixing stuff for 2 years now thanks to you.if you look on ebay people take figures apart all the time and sell off the arms,heads and legs.They charge crazy money for these parts so even a fixed toy can still be valuable.I have no intention of selling my fixed or custom figures.

Great video, agree the process of repair makes the piece more valuable to you personally. I advocate repair if you plan to own something for life

I totally agree, I collect vintage, and new, action figures. And I keep none of them, in their original boxes. I enjoyed them, much better, that way. Loved it when you said, somethings only worth, what someone’s willing to pay.

Bro,you said it perfectly! As Stan Lee world say,..nuff said.

I agree 100% and enjoy your videos. I have a box of 3 3/4" scale GI Joe figures and Kenner Super Powers figures that I plan to repair and display for my own enjoyment (when time permits). I'll keep watching your videos to learn repair techniques.

Awesome video and point of view. I wholeheartedly agree!

Fantastic opinion piece! I agree that, in many cases, refurbishing the toy is well worth the effort and takes an undesirable piece and makes it wonderful again. Love your stuff, man.

You said it ,just collect what you love.Then you have a collection to be proud of from the heart.I will often fix up toys ,just to get one of those "had this when i was little " type of pieces . ( i too have some Johnny Apollo ,s ,using Mark W.,s helmet from the new P.O.T.A. ,s line just to have them w/helmets-vintage helms too costly) Collect what makes YOU happy !

I hate the idea of toys being left unrepaired because it makes them "less valuable" thanks for making these videos. I have been able to repair some of my kid's toys with your tips

Great vid couldn’t agree more, it’s so much fun fixing broken toys and you get to look at what you’ve done and feel good about it. 👍

I restored my He-man figures cause I wanted them to look like they did when I was little and so they look good when on display...don't do any good having a Beastman with only 1 leg. I suppose there are two types of collectors, those that want 100% correct figures that look decent, and those that don't really care if it's not 100% as long as you can't immediately tell by simply looking at it. The 100% correct guy will pay $100 dollars for a loose complete He-Man that grades at a 7.5/10....while the other may pay $100 for a complete loose He-Man that has reattached legs and touched up paint but looks like a 9.5 out of 10

Excellent point of view. This is the way we reconnect with them! Your channel has helped me a lot for my collection. Hello 👋🏻 from México 🇲🇽

Amen! Tuff questions...... anyway, I find that if I have it, everyone low balls me and not worth selling, but If I want something, it is suddenly worth alot. So just enjoy them.

Great content as usual. I am looking forward to the BBC's Antiques Road Show telling someone with a watch from the 1700's that it'd be worth more if it was mint in box :)

Thanks for this episode!🙏😉👏👏👏👏‼️

I agree with this. I try to keep most of my vintage stuff as is some thing about a played with toy is more appeasing to me. Like you if i find something cheep and it needs to be fixed or cleaned up I will since you can't really hurt the "value" on something that could have been thrown away. One of my old hot wheels i tried to restore i stopped cause i was eating away at the original paint and normally this wouldn't matter but in order to preserve that this was the rare color i stopped. not for value reasons but for historical reasons to show that i did own the rare color.

Thank You!!!!, Perfect. I have been asking myself the same questions and was inspired by your video and wanted to restore some of my pieces. I wanted to pass them to my grandkids, but didn't want to harm the value. I also enjoy fixing things and I was completely inspired by your video's thanks.

Well said Dave, I heartily agree with you! 😀

Great advice and another fantastic video. If you get pleasure out of your hobby then keep doing it. That's the point.

Please do a Dagobah playset restoration. I’d love to see how you come up with replacing missing parts, making replacement foam.

Exactly 100% Honest & Well Spoken ideals! Sadly most people only do things because it may have value and they lack the abilities to truly appreciate the items for their true artistic, creative, craftsmanship & sentimental value. For me the love of all things creative is important & toy's ooze creativity and artisitic ability! I ❤ Toys! 😁👌

We share the same opinion Dave, i enjoy restoring a toy , because it`s fun and we can come back to life that toy., for me doesn`t matter if lose value.

@Toy Polloi You are absolutely right I am sad to say, The BBC TOTALLY missed the point... I remember a Channel 4 Series many years back (I say series... It was two episodes looking at Toys of the Millennium I think...) which was Directed by Charlie Brooker - And the host, when it came to the Higher positions spoke about Star Wars collectors in a very candid way - Where it was deliberately attested to that "These are toys, they are things you play with - Why would you want to buy something just to sit it on a shelf in its packet and never touch it? Was your childhood really that sad you wouldn't play with you toys?" Many Vintage Toy Collectors who collect for investment fail to understand that the Value comes from a piece being used!!! If People had NOT played with their toys when they were children... Especially things like Star Wars Figures - They would NOT BE VALUABLE NOW! The reason Vintage Star Wars Figures, Especially Mint in Box, are Valuable is because Kids PLAYED WITH TOYS! Because a Piece mint in Box is A RARE THING TO FIND! But the most VALUABLE THING IN toy collecting is MEMORIES! There are MANY TOYS I wish I could find now that I loved as a child I want to collect... Heck, I even bought my Son one that I really wanted for a Knock Down price at a Charity shop (I offered more but they only accepted £10 when I was happy to pay £30...) - A Boxed G1 Optimums Prime! The Box was battered, And the Labels were worn... It was even possible it had parts missing... Got it home, He had his weapons minus the Missiles form his trailer, His Hands... He was virtually complete except some Trailer issues easily fixed with some repro parts from Ebay! The Value to me was NOT MONEY... This was a Childhood Survivor!!! Someone had obviously Loved and Played with this toy!!! IT HAD A HISTORY!!!! That's something No mint in Box piece can ever have... And to me is more valuable than anything else! My Advice to anyone collecting - If you really are collecting for the Investment - Hey, That's cool... Just don't look down on everyone else who doesn't and wants to restore Survivors... Because WE ARE NOT THE ONES TRYING TO SCAM PEOPLE!!! We Buy these broken Toys and restore them for OUR PLEASURE... For OUR COLLECTIONS... NOT TO BE RESOLD!!!

That's cool you appeared on British tv! :)

Wabi Sabi , That's toy collecting. Mint in box is Storing. Toy's aren't toys unless they have been loved and played with. My 2 Cent's worth. Cheer's John

I couldn't have said it better myself, great video🙂

I couldn't agree with you more! Cheers

So I have been a fan of Your s for a couple Years now and as to that If I were to own a toy YOu had restored that would Be priceless. Because its not just that Toy Polloi had done it , It would be because of the love and care that You put into restoring it that makes it valuable. Thats just My opinion .

Great video and wise words. Touch and enjoy your collection 😊

Think Action Man collectors take more enlightened view than Star Wars
