Oh man! I had all those "uzay" branded figures when I was a kid. And also the board game! I wish I still had them :) Gret memories :) ps: "uzay" means "space" in Turkish.

Blue Stars looked like it was a Cobra Commander figure.

lol the Blue star guy aka blue snowtrooper actually looks cool

the calculator is the best

Hi i'm from Hungary! They made back then bootleg figures because the original Kenner star wars figures weren't availables in Hungary,and those figures that were available where usually very rare and expensive at the time,and bootlegs where more common and cheaper

The way the collector says “very” makes me happy and I don’t know why

He didn't mention Head Man. How do you talk about Uzay without bringing up Head Man?

Thank you Norm for bringing this place to our attention. If i'm in cali, I will definately make it a mission to go there!

He's talking about the Uzay figures, and he doesn't even mention Head Man?!

Great vid! You've just gotta love Steve Sansweet - he's a legend!!

Steve is amazing and such a nice guy. Traveled to USA from Australia in 2013 and was blown away with Rancho Obi-Wan!

I love bootlegs especially good quality with colour variations a la Blue Stars

I'm not much of a Star Wars fan, but I am loving these videos!

That host just loves trying to touch the guys stuff when he is holding it

Awesome vid! Thumbs up, damn that's a lot of Star wars :p

I know for sure thet he does not have the same Boba Fett action figure I have, with a removable helmet showing the face of George Lucas underneath.

Hungarian SW figures... Yessss!!! I have some at home. Unfortunately are unboxed. These was my favorite childhood games. I was able to read the box label: 02:22 "Csillagok Háborúja". Yeahhh. Thank you! Great memories.

I think you have it absolutely spot-on. He seems a very nice guy, but I wonder if he's been trained as a reporter / journalist to actually ask questions that will generate interesting answers, or if he just wants to be nice and polite and accommodating to his interview subjects - which is totally fine too, I guess.

I like this guy. He seems like he can tell really passionate about his hobby, without geeking out about it.

I liked that action movie zoom in 0:27 right on the word "NOW"

These were for sale (for us poor Turkish kids who couldn't afford or find the originals) when I was in elementary school (about 25 years ago), I remember "Darth Vader" was named "Dark Leader" :) And I think I owned an Imperial Gunner (no calculator included) ;p

How on Earth did they get the molds for the toys from Kenner?

Oh man, I don't know why I find this kind of stuff to be so cool.

Ha! Thanks for that bit of information, that's awesome! :)

this video was awesome.

He has the largest Star Wars collection "in private hands". SO the government has a larger collection somewhere? In Fort Knox? Next to the government cheese caves? (I assume he means Lucas has more stuff, but it is a strange phrasing)

Currently trying to get the blue stars figure.

this guy is what u call a COLLECTOR!!!

He owns a sweet museum that he bought everything for, that's pretty cool. He probably has a story for every piece in there, and we only saw 1/4 of his stuff, if that.

There's a guy on TeknoSeyir youtube channel that has all UZAY figures.

I'm looking for the UZAY r2d2. doe anyone know where I can purchase one.?

Look at the picture of the box in the thumbnail, it looked like they molded a figure and they put a remote like he was clicking buttons

I think i have a couple of Phantom menace princess amidala fake figure somewhere still in the box.there are a fake one. And now its cost WoW

i picked up a figure in the late 90s marked "evil star robot". it was a one piece badly sculpted Boba Fett about 7" tall and you could smell that petro-chemical smell but stronger. made in china. bare cardboard backing as well. wish i still had it

He knows his tech specs

I have got to go to this place

"How industrious" lol

Polish Boba Fett kinda looks like he has his holiday special colour scheme.

Thumbs up for Hungary :) Actually that boardgame is awsome :D You should also check out our bootleg Playmobils called Schenk, those were truly amaznig, I had a lot as a child

Steve sansweet is awesome

Does anyone know Swansweet's address?

Who dusts all those items every day/week/month?

And the Rancho Obi-Wan guy wasn't too bad either.

It's fun to see all these bootleg toys, but the camera man doesnt show us a good shot of it.

Emperial gunner was just calculating his tax-returns.

I have all my orginal star wars/ empire strikes back and return of the jedi toys and movie tickets from long long ago

I don’t own a single bootleg Star Wars and I never have done. I’m very proud of myself

Hungary was pretty damn good at bootleg Star Wars merchandise. At some point there were really ugly action figures carved out from soap bars, no joke.

Wow. Don't go in that collector's basement to look at some of his collection. He sounds creepy. Like chain you to the water pipe creepy.

If they don't get to the crawling baby dalmatian stormtrooper I'm gonna riot.

The reasons for the occasionally surreal shades of Polish Star Wars knockoffs from the 80s were twofold: firstly, sometimes there would not be enough, say, white rubber to pour into a mold, but that did not stop production: whatever rubber was available was the one used. Hence such memorable creations as pink Chewbacca or the scary, shiny, pitch-black Stormtroopers, who looked like Vader's illegitimate sons. The second reason was that, amusingly, the figures were often hand-painted by local grannies, who supplemented their pensions that way. Some of them were given original figures or Star Wars photos for reference, some actually knew the films, but some did not, and instead, they relied on their imagination. That gave birth to blonde Leia, black-haired Luke, Han Solo with pink pants, a silver vest and red hair... and oodles of other Darth Picasso creations. (Private businesses were allowed to operate in Poland during its socialist period - it was formally known as "private initiative", and merely required one to register with the government as a business, sift through several bureaucratic forms, and pay additional taxes. Several "private initiatives" made copies of Kenner's figures (and many, many other toys, from Muppets and Pink Panther to Batman and Superman), but the most productive one was located in Gdańsk. Where it once stood, there is now only an empty lot, overgrown with weeds and grass, but decades ago, a warehouse was standing there - and inside, they would pour melted rubber into metal forms day and night, making hundreds of figures daily, for years.)

Bootlegs make our life colourful! :)

Their are in star vault like the lego vault in a way

I honestly didnt find him pretentious at all and im typically very judgemental

Must be hell to clean everything.

He seems incredibly even-keeled and genuinely interested in Star Wars as a cultural phenomenon. He doesn't seem to treat the objects are people or use them to fill an empty void in his life. He's like a scholar.

My favourite video.

The title should be The Worst, and The Best of the Worst Bootleg Star Wars Toys.

I like the bootleg vids best.

I buy store own brand when i food shop for my mum when she can't go shopping herself,does the product always have to be official as long as it's high quality and passes the safety standards?.

And, yet...he collects them...

I’m under the impression that these characters are what Disney made their movies about. No?

TÜRKİYEM

Dat Millenium Falcon. o_o

You forgot headman.

Press 6 to find out where this guy got all his Star Wars toys.

I have a Russian bootleg of Bossk. He's pink instead of his real outfit.

Bet he doesn't have the oversized 90's Power Of The Force knockoffs.

Funny the "Death Star Gunner" was stolen from the Black Hole

Norm stop trying to grab stuff :P

Did your razor get caught in your neckbeard when you were shaving this morning?

why does the interviewer try to act like C3PO? Very distracting mannerisms.

I want the ewok figure so bad

I love star wars

Nah he's alright. Sometimes he just doesn't know what to say, and should just say nothing.

I like the bootleg The Force toy which is empty....

But I like the upside down calculator

Bootlegs are the best. Imaginative beyond belief haha

Im from turkey :)

Must be nice to not worry about money

Buyer beware as everyone says

I'm from Hungary :D Csillagok Háborúja :D

this guy needs some Lili Ledy's ond his collection

I bet he has a star wars one of them too :( ... :)

I have a Russian bootleg of Chewbacca. He's golden and steroid up.

Did your lavalier mic is also bootleg, or you just forgot to turn it on? LOL

Tha thumb nail character looks like he’s from gi joe

Anyone else think this guys sounds a little like Dr Zoidberg?

I had (still have) the legit Battle At Sarlacc's Pit board game. It was shite, and looks comparable to these bootlegs.

Could you at least show the toys on camera, guys?

I am a nerd. i have star wars monopole.

I have a bootleg of Russian Pink Bosske,

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHIhhhhhhhhhhhing on earth beats POLISH BOBBA FETTE!!!!!!! Not even prototypes for Chewies Family from the Christmas Special!!!!!!

Too bad he doesn't have Head Man.

Steve is somehow funnier and a lot more charismatic than the intern host himself.

I love turkey
