I remember when the store I worked at got the Princess Diana memorial Beanie Babies. There was a riot... Some woman got her ankle broken... The police came. Watching my then boss disappear into a rabid mob of people with purple bears flying everywhere is still one of my fondest memories.

"They seem quite clean, don't think Jim Sterling has had his hands on them yet..." The joy that reference brings me is immeasurable.

When I saw that beanie baby my childhood flashed before my eyes. Train sets, a fuzzy purple car, Cheeks the Baboon, my mother's heartbeat. Dear God I feel weird, and a bit sad. I miss when life was so simple. * a single tear rolls down my face *

"I may be wrong, but yet, i will never care", so many Stuart quotes and ones i so strongly relate to in this episode XD

B. A. Baracus suits this channel very well, the acronym of 'The A Team' being T.A.T

04:32 has to be his best ever horrified reaction, yet. "Ughffff!!! Bloody Hell... Good GOD!!!"

As a child of the 90s, I genuinely gasped and started out of my chair when he tore that tag.

While rolling a comic up should be punishable by death, that turned me back into a little kid seeing transformers again.

I made an audible gasp when he ripped the Beanie Baby's tag. ...What is my life...

I completely forgot that Crazy Bones were a thing. Used to play those all the time.

This nostalgia box has genuinely brought nostalgia to Stuart. Might be the best box yet.

"Resting after a hard day of fool pitying" Ashens ill never doubt your vocabulary

Crazy bones were a huge fad in my youth. Will never forget when i opened my first packet and found a sharkey!

Um why is a figure from Episode 2 in a 90's box? Episode 2 came out in 2002 not the 90's jeez.

The second I saw theCrazy Bones I ran into my old bedroom to check my crap drawer, and there they were! They came out for a whole 2 minutes before I put them back away to remember them in another decade or two.

'A hard day's fool pitying' Ashens, I love you.

I'm 15 so I don't know most of this but what I do remember is bloody small soldiers it was an awesome movie one of my favourites

God fucking damn it! I was alredy scared of E.T from my childhood, thanks for that Nostalgia!

CRAZY BONES :D I loved playing with Crazy Bones as a kid. The game you played with them was flicking them at each other to knock them over/out if I remember.

"a bat slammer..that's good, that's solid you could kill a stote with that, if necessary." I couldn't stop laughing at that after imagining someone killing a stote with a slammer.

When I see a new Ashens video I have to change my underwear... Every fuckin' time

4:33 JESUS CHRIST ITS GAIL PLATT!! (Only Brits will get that joke)

15:43 "Who remembers when people thought Beanie Babies were going to be the next big investment"? My mom and aunt were two of them. They would buy those damn things every chance they got in the late 1990's, including driving to various McDonald's to get the "exclusive" ones, and they would get two of everything. They stored them in huge plastic bins and the collection took up a lot of closet space. They asked me to put some on Ebay a couple years ago to get rid of them. I sold exactly ONE to a coworker...for *$1.00*.

Ashens made a Jim Sterling reference, hurray! I can die happy now.

The horses in the Girls' Toy Box are from the Pony in my Pocket line - those cards are unmistakable. I remember getting some of the Puppy imP but the details were crap so I abandoned the brand. Had I known that they had upped their game by the time Pony came around I would've gotten a few despite not being a horse person. Girls' box needs more 80s! I do hope you do the girl box again; if I see that they are including more 80s stuff in it I might subscribe myself.

The Gogo Crazy Bones were one of my favourite things! I had milk crates full of them when I was growing up. I'll gladly take them all off of your hands haha. I've been trying to find some forever now.

They're called Go-gos Crazy Bones as I recall, and they're full of nostalgia for me. They were up there in popularity with Pokémon cards back when I was a kid

Someone NEEDS to make an icon out of that ET sticker. I was laughing my ass off at his reaction XD

It physically pains me to see a comic rolled up with an elastic band

where the heck do they find this stuff? do they have people showering through every charity shop in the country or do they just have a time machine?

TYs, Crazy Bones... Man, now you're giving ME a nostalgia kick XD

Where's the hour long halloween video??

TCB -> Taking Care of Business

I loved small soldiers as a kid

Dude I had a friend who lived down the hill from me, his dad worked at a factory where they manufactured the Crazy Bones toys and it was fun as hell to play. I miss those days

Small soldiers was a great film. I forgot all about it till now. Might have to get a copy to watch again.

Hyped for Ashens Halloween special 2016

The horses were called pony in my pocket, I had hundreds of the buggers.

12:29 That's Plucky Duck! 18:39 That's Baxter Stockman!

Sneezer was a baby mouse that sneezed with the force of an atomic bomb. The joke was the cat trying to eat him while simultaneously trying to stop him from sneezing.

Dan Hardcastle would probably love to have those Gogos...

Hey, that prequel figure isn't too bad. You can redeem it for 10 Jedi master points!

I'm nearly the exact same age as Ashens, and I had forgotten those Pacman stickers / scratchies existed. I had those as a kid too - as I did the Britains Star Guards / Aliens / Mutants - had quite an extensive collection of the modular sets. NOW I WANT THE PACMAN THINGIES, DAMMIT!

my heart broke when he opened the loony toons. I was transported to the arcade in sunset mall where I habitually wasted half my allowance playing for tickets to buy cards, stickers and tattoos. p.s. totally jealous of the Batman pogs especially Harley Quinn and the red slammer.

22:51 time to mail this to RedLetterMedia

I'm pretty sure there was the distant sound of Nerd cubed squeeing when the gogos appeared.

For some reason every time Ashens opens something that's decades old, a part of my souls dies

Nostalgia is such a mixed bag for me. I guess for many. Often it just feels like closed off opportunities, and squashed hope. And I'm not even being sarcastic like Ashens.

Scar offered ppi insurance.... Oh my ribs

22:52 Is Dexter Jettster T-posing in that shot?

I used to collect those toy horses as a kid back in the 90's. I think they were called "Pony in my pocket". They also had Kitty in my pocket and Puppy in my pocket toys that I collected. But I'm very pleased to say that I was playing decent games back then and I've never played a Barbie video game in my life. :P

You actually made me look up "The great red dragon and the woman clothed with the sun". Thanks for pointing me towards those magnificent paintings. Also, the Gogos were used in a kind of game similar to Pog, where you would agree to an amount of Gogos you'd be willing to bet and then you'd all line them up in a fashion similar to bowling and use another Gogo as the "ball" and you got to keep the ones you knocked over. There were other variants such as something similar to beer pong (two lines on each players side and you had to knock over the other player's Gogos in order to keep them) and even a variant similar to pitching pennies, throwing them against a wall with the winner being the one whose Gogo lands nearest to the wall. Weird how many popular children's games resemble adult gambling and are somehow legal.

........... okay. Since I do love The Lion King, I will tell you this: the card with Scar does not have Mufasa, that would be Simba. Simba has a brighter red mane and brighter yellow in his fur. Mufasa is darker in color. Also, there's fire in the scene on the card. From the final fight. Okay, resume. Have a wonderful day

Ashens you gotta give those GoGos to Dan(Nerdcubed) he loves them

the bones ones in the 90s box took me back and i never expected that nostalgia bomb

It isn't often that I recognise much from these boxes (maybe I was too young in the 90s to remember many of my toys? I don't know XD) but seeing those pogs was such a blast from the past! I wish I could remember where I put them all! Such an addictive game XD

Why was there an Attack of the Clones toy in the '90s box? It's from 2002.

That witch is thicc.

I loved Crazy Bones! I collected hundreds of them

Holy shit! I really remember those Britain Space figures now. Wow.

The ponies I think are Ponies in my Pocket. That was Simba, not Mufasa. I still have my Beanie Babies, with tag protectors. It was genuinely painful to see you rip that tag. Gogo's were so much fun until people threw them at your head. Pogs were also fun. And that concludes the end of my nostalgia for this video. Thanks for not reading.

Why the fudgesicle didn't they make the Batman pog slammer in the likeness of Two-Face's trick coin? Seriously?

The playmobile man reminded me that the holiday advent box is coming soon! Praise the Grass Mask

omg that stunticon semi-truck on the back of that comic. When I was a kid another kid let me borrow it, and my dad threw it out the window of our car on the ride home saying something about how we don't need charity. So I had to explain to that kid I didn't have his toy anymore. ...I guess nostalgia is nostalgia, even when it's a bad memory.

I don't know how it is in England, but in America "Rub off" is something rather... rude we'll say. Like something you might get caught doing in the shower...

I have so many go-go crazy bones you won't believe it

I remember Gogos. Me and my brother managed to collect all of them. The way you played is: each player bets a couple of his Gogos by standing them up next to a wall. Then the other player throws a Gogo and gets to keep the ones he knocked over. Or something like that. It was a pretty big thing at my school.

I got a lovely little nostalgic flutter at the Tiny Tunes cards and the PLAYMOBILE wow

Stuart its past midnight go to bed

So, this subscriber box buys random stuff on ebay and sends it to you?

I used to love reading the Trans Formers comic as a kid... Of a weekend, when my Mother would go to the village post office to pay the papers, she'd pick me up a Beano and the Trans Formers comic. Thanks for reading my thrill-a-minute, none-stop adrenaline ride nostalgia post.

I was born 98 and OMG gogo's was the coolest thing ever

*OH MY GOD, WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR FAAAAAAAACE*

Member Gogo Bones.

I had that "screaming thing" at 17:46. I remember buying it as a kid during a trip to amusement park.

Small soldiers was one of my favorite films when i was younger lol

is it just me that is missing loot crate

The girl box was disappointing, I remember having cooler toys than that.

crazy-bones were literally a currency in our school

The Space toys brings back memories. We only had the evil and good guy figures - never knew that there were vehicles.

"Girls were playing on the Gameboy back then" yes, but we were playing games like Pokémon, and Gargoyle's Quest NOT flipping Barbie!!

Wheres the halloween special?

Oh man Gogos, I used to collect these as a kiddo I have like 400 of them. Good times!

"Sparkly Catwoman with a hint of Batman." Coming to your cereal bowl soon!

You know, I really the way some manufacturers - past and present - apply genders to products - it's quite sexist.

Man, that crying Gogo was OP as heck.

7:30 I was seven years old when they came out. I remember them well.

That Mr. T figure is bad ass!!!

Wow I didn't knew about BRITAINS SPACE toy line, guess it never made here to Italy. Did a bit of research and I think it was a fantastic toy line. Back in the 80s italian toy companies imported stuff from U.S. and Japan, so sadly we never had these UK gems.

"Oh Donatello, he's so happy!" Made me laugh more than I expected.

Go Go Crazy Bones! Those were banned in my school...so of course we all had to have them.

Oh dear I was not prepared for that Red Dragon reference. Nice work!

You playing with the Beanie Baby made me lol

Oh god Beanie Baby's...my mom was crazy about them. I was a kid at the time, but I really remember her buying them and selling them during the boom. It's how she started out on eBay. I also remember having to wake up super early to go stand in lines to get the latest one...ugh. I did get to skip school sometimes because of it though. We still have bags of the damned things...and I used to have a drawer full of them before I tossed them all out. I regret it now because I got rid of the Halloween ones that were my favorite lol.

I will never tire of watching ashens eating foreign sweets.

Those little hunks of plastic are, depending on where you're from and the time period, called either 'Gogos' or 'Crazy Bones'. They were essentially collectable marbles, and came with a book explaining the 'games' you could play with them. I thought they were the coolest thing in the universe in 2nd Grade.

As one of the three digitiser readers still alive, I get it! Also, I have been completely convinced that our Ashens was Stuart Campbell, back in the day...

i havent been on your channel in yonks and your still at it this has made me so happy

I just lost it at the "PPI" bit. Well Done sir.

"I just found a faulty motherboard from an Acorn Archimedes, an empty tin of All Day Breakfast and an old VHS of Knightmare in my bins. STAY AWAY FROM MY BINS, ASHENS! IT'S A CONTRAVENTION OF COUNCIL RULES, CRAZY FOOL!" Mr.T
