Sandown Toy Fair is one of my favourite fairs of the year. It usually delivers some very nice vintage toys and this one doesn't disappoint.
Let's see what we can find, let's see who can we meet.

The Search For, Preservation and Archival of Vintage Toys.
Hi, I'm VTR Dave. A Brit on a mission to curate a high-quality and diverse collection of vintage toys, known as the VT aRchive.
A homage to the iconic toys of the 70s & 80s to be shared with as many enthusiasts as possible, right here on this channel. And who knows, perhaps in the future, on display in a public space like a museum. Now, wouldn't that be something!
Subscribe to stay updated as I search for vintage toys, lovingly restore them, delve into their history, and piece by piece, construct the VT aRchive.
As always, thanks goes out to everyone who supports the channel. Every view, like & comment is appreciated.
Stay safe & cheers!

Thanks for your kind words about the style of my videos 👍 I've recently been getting deeper into Food Fighters - I mistakenly thought they were from the 90s which is outside my core collecting period so didn't focus on them. Wish I hadn't taken so long to realise 😎

Another great toy fair video Dave, always enjoy these. Some great pickups. I think I would open the Universal Monsters, would be excited to see them and their coffins and other features 😂 as they look great fun. That said, I have a bunch of Reaction Universal Monsters still on card 🤦. I’m also intrigued by those two Neanderthals on your desk in the video…who on earth are they? 😂

@VintageToyRush Ай бұрын

Thanks Scott!! 👍 So far, no one has said to keep them sealed 😎 Now, those two figures on the desk, good spot!! The one with the gold armour is from Action Man - he's called The Intruder. He's often hated by collectors, but I think he's great. It turns out, Palitoy borrowed the figure the Super GI Joe line where it originally had Silver armour, a different hair colour and no beard!!! I recently added the Silver one to the collection 🤘

Regarding Mr Madine, I would recommend picking him up! I saw 👀 on your video a minty carded Palitoy Madine! Madine is the rarest Trilogo carded figure! The Taiwan COO with green hair was one of the first variants that I became aware of: probably via an old Brian’s Toys catalog. I picked up the Lili-Ledy Madine recently! Many moons ago I bought a Sample Madine on a TESB Hoth Luke card a real treasure piece!

@VintageToyRush Ай бұрын

Ha BOE!! I'm not sure I want to buy a Madine - he's been relentlessly pursuing me on my toy hunts!!! 🤣 Mind you, with your deep knowledge perhaps it's time to keep an eye out for the one the rarer ones 👍
