I still have mine 😂

@@Davyartt I think my mom saved mine too lol

Did this with Codename Robotech..the launching pilot...watched it everyday for a year...was that obsessed

Absolutely the same here. That promotional VHS developed some serious wear.

Only needed Casey Kasem to complete the 80's cartoons.

Mr. Majestic you're both right.

Same

I’ve been re-acquiring my fave Dino-Riders for a couple years now; the only line I’ve tried to get MIB caliber pieces Brontosaurus and T-Rex’s main armor pieces are fragile AF, but so worth it! Just a few more dino’s to go and some rider figures and I’ll be done!

@@TheMulToyVerse I just found my old ones a few weeks ago!

@@TheMulToyVerse honestly of i blew my money on them....those are the two id get. Replace my lost to time and life diplodocus, and get the t rex i never owned. And maybe....juat maybe a MIB of the larger dinosaur. Fuck i remember seeing that thing in a kbtoys and begging my mom for it and being told it was too expensive What i would give to reopen the one i never got just for a brief reliving of my childhood.

@ I had the exact same as my parents would onky buy me the cheapest one

Not sure it was their fault. As a late 80’s property they faced a tremendous amount of competition including many that were already deeply entrenched in the toy aisle.

I had many Dino Rider toys as a kid, as did many of the other boys in my class. They were quite popular. I don't think it was an issue with competition, so much as money-management with the head office. Seriously, if this had been Hasbro, Mattel, or even Kenner, Dino Rider would've been bigger than Transformers. This is all Tyco's fault!

@@captainsteroid2454 Can we have them do a crossover w/ Dinosaucers?

For one thing the novelty wears off after you get past the celebrity Dinos of wave one/two. Distribution was an issue. Kaybee didn't carry them I do not think. The large Dino's where super expensive. I remember Trex was $50-&70. Brontosaurus was $100! Even the smallest sets where $10-$15. Average price of midsize Dino's was $25-$30. This was a toyline designed for silver spoon kids.

They failed to harness the power of dinosaurs. I can only hope the same will never be said of me.

My understanding was that Terra Nova was cancelled due to cost more than anything else

@@evilmark443 and not showing the dinosaurs i gave up on it

Man i liked that show :( i rewatch it from time to time on netflix and everytime i get pissed that it was cancelled.

Terra Nova was incredible

No Dinosaurs? (ABC, April 26, 1991 - November 10, 1995)

everybody's pretty quiet about that fact. It's part why the toys are kind of obscure for the 1980s. They were crazy expensive. Can't believe I'm saying this with a straight face. I've got a Cadillacs and dinosaurs figure in the package unopened sitting next to 2 dino riders dinosaurs that I got at yard sales. I've also got the pterodactyl with the saddle and two action figures from the series that I found that other yard sales . I never got any of the big dino riders toys to this day because they were so expensive that they never turned up at yard sales and screw eBay there prices are ridiculous. I've got the DHS pilot of the first episode and were talking the really crude version that has sound effects missing and all sorts of other issues LOL. If I'm correct the version I have is a studio draft pilot might not even be the original pilot that was released in stores. I don't understand why the 14th episode was not released on DVD with the rest of the series.

I had the Triceratops and pterodactyl and a few of the figures.

I had Dino riders toys

Agreed, I used to love looking at the packages in the stores though.

I had a shit load of these as a kid. (And as I watch this video, Bone Age toys too. ) Edit: I suppose being an only child had it perks.

Undoubtedly.

@@SecretGalaxyTV Have you thought of doing an episode on recycled toys? That might make for a great episode!

We haven't but it's a good idea. I'll put it on the list for sure!

I think people assumed it was just about dinosaurs and thought 'boring!'. They didn't realize the bigger picture was about futuristic armies and battles and war.

It came out right before dinosaurs had a mini resurgence. If this cake out a couple years later it would have been huge

I always blamed Questar’s stupid haircut. As the good leader, no one wanted to “be” him.

When I was a little kid I became obsessed with this stuff the moment I found out about it. And when I was a teenager I made my own new versions of them for neighbour's kid, using his toy dinosaurs, some duct tape, some tiny sticks, and a little artistic creativity. And the kid loved them while they lasted.

@@dougmasters4579 future time travelling armies...

would you say that you love it 3000?

@@ranwolf7650 I'm not going to lie, I have no clue what that means. It is cool though to have a channel that talks about our favorite toys growing up, and explaining the history behind the toy line though. The fact that the toy molds for the Smithsonian dinosaurs came from Dino Riders was very interesting for me. If I ever take a trip to the Smithsonian, I'll probably pick one up just for that fact

@@mr7oclock346 It's an Endgame reference. I guess you haven't seen the movie

@@ranwolf7650 Comic movies are a hit and miss for me. So, I'm taking a break from them. I have followed comic books for a good while, and movies just are not as good. The Infinity War in the comics was good, but the movie was trash. They should have at least gave Thanos his own movies, and had him collect the Infinity Gems in the same way as in the comics, because that was epic. I have read the spoilers, but nothing happened that we didn't see coming months back. We all knew that Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, and Robert Downey Jr were unlikely to resign their contracts, and we knew what other characters were getting movies after End Game. So, we basically knew who was going to live and who was going to die. In the comics, we have seen Steve Rogers get old, and Sam Wilson has been Captain America got several years now. We have also seen Captain America wield Mjolnir in the comics a couple of times. This was Chris Evans last movie. So, they were trying to squeeze all that into the movie. Comic movies just don't do it for me. I'll admit I like some of them, because Chris Pratt was also on Parks and Recreation, and Paul Rudd is awesome im everything he does, but for the most part I don't care about watching them anymore. You can't take decades worth of plot and compress it down to two of three hours and make it means nearly as much

@@mr7oclock346 "You can't take decades worth of plot and compress it down to two of three hours and make it means nearly as much" no one claimed other wise. I see the movies as just another example of the Marvel multiverse. Just as valid as Earth-616 or 1610.

Thank you so much for the ♥️

Doesn't everybody?

I thought the same thing, but knowing that Dr. Bakker was involved makes the highly active theropods make much more sense now.

@@stevendorries it doesn't explain the lumbering. tail dragging T.Rex though.

@ superspecky4eyes: No, but the designer insisting on including the walking gimmick and the subsequent need for extra stability probably do :)

superspecky4eyes hard to break that image, but don’t forget that the T. Rexes in the show were depicted as dedicated parents too.

I never even had any DinoRiders or Street Sharks, but I'd love to see ToyGalaxy cover them.

@@knyght27 they already did that

Microsoft are making a new Battletoads game, so who knows?!

Funny, I thought it sounded like Dirk Courage (Dan Gilvezan)

@@jedigecko06 I think he did a lot of the earlier commercials, as he was the voice of Questar, but I definitely think that this one is Fraley. It sounds very similar to Max Ray from Centurions.

Big Time Let Down😀

Your parents must have been well off or they loved you a lot! I remember seeing the T-rex in a glass case at the mall when I was young. I only got the triceratops and pterodactyl.

A word of advice from someone who has been there, these are very tough to get complete for a good price. The armour pieces were made of quite brittle plastic and are often broken or missing now. Still, it was a fun chase getting the full first series.

...not to mention those rubber harnesses that inevitably perish!

@@yunoyuluvit Yeah, not a chance. At least rubber bands work ok.

Thanks Guys, I'm well aware. Sure would love the license to be picked up for reissues. @@gibbie80s61

@@andrewthielmann5342 That would be great.

corps collector sorta? No way it's totally like DR

TheRottenApplePK They did it on Teen Titans Go! Animated obviously. My kids watch it. Obviously.

If Hollywood can't even get Transformers right, what makes us think they can handle Dino-Riders?

Dragonrider1227 They’re getting better. Slowly. Maybe in a few decades they’ll be able to do it justice.

This is a thing that must happen.

They did have some Dinorider inspired Imaginext from Fisher-Price about 5 years back. Dinos with armor and human companions, maybe that was the primer?

Old vs new.

@@RokuroCarisu Considering how badly the last Jurassic World bombed just due to how bad the script was...

@@NodDisciple1 regardless, the toys seam to sell well. It was a hit with kids and thetoys are actually well made.

The actor suffered minor burns from all squibs used.

Robocop would've been a much better film if it wasn't so gratuitous. The overall concept of a cyborg cop in the future is amazing, just a shame it had to be such a cold and mean spirited film.

@@dougmasters4579 It's supposed to be over-the-top satire. Likewise Starship Troopers. If you want bland kid-friendly action, watch the third movie. If you want brooding action, watch Ghost in the Shell. If you want depression, watch Appleseed.

@@CTimmerman I like violent action films like the original Rambo's and Terminator (1984). Robocop's violence and tone has always set it apart. Verhoeven's films are technically outstanding but lack warmth.
