I'm only 15 years old and even I have a sort of nostalgia from these toys!

My wife can not understand how I can sit in my man cave and just stare at the walls full of Star Wars toys. I really am not totally sure what I am thinking but it feels gooooood to know I have toys from the early 80s

I’m over 40 years old these days, but I must say your video inspired me. I recently purchased all three Centurians in the original boxes, never opened and I will keep them that way. Your toy room looks absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing 👏👏👏👏

I was an 80's kid. GI Joes were my favorite! Back then I modeled on stage at the mall a couple times and won. Winners received toy certificates. I remember buying He- Man. That smell of rubber, meaning brand new. Anytime I smell that same rubber smell it immediately brings me back to the 80's. You have an awesome collection!

I love your toy collection sir and the way you talk about your wife and how she supports you as a collector. She must be an amazing woman..you are very blessed to have her and an wonderful collection.

Dude you rock, and these kids will never understand the love of the toys from the 80’s ..

Good stuff there was nothing better then the toys from Our years, the 80's

This is my new favorite toy channel. No drama or snark, just nice memories.

I almost teared up seeing all these toys from my Childhood still in they're packaging...I remember Toys R Us and as well....Johnny's Toys. This is one superb, pristine phenomenal collection!

You're a really good narrator with a pleasant voice. It brings comfort, especially now that Toys'R'Us is shutting down

Rambo was also made into both a Cartoon & a Toy line, I remember it being a line that had some of the best Weapon accessories.

I have started collecting toys now for all the nostalgia, memories, and I believe they will pull me through the second half of my life when things get rough.....40 now and appreciating everything that was. Missing the past all the time!

Create your own toy museum at BIGBADTOYSTORE : bit.ly/BBTStoys

The way you describe these legendary toy had me hooked on the video

I've just come across your channel, this bought a tear to my eye because it does remind me of my own childhood in the 80s, grew up without a father , my mother couldn't afford these toys, but i could imagine all day long. Thank you for this. Subscribed! :)

I'm in tears... this is such amazing stuff and so well produced. You should be nominated for an Oscar!!! Such a beautiful collection. Take a bow!!!

Excellent video, loved the Centurions bit and some other stuff you mentioned jogged my memory. Thanks from England. Looking forward to the next one.

Wow, your whole story about being a Toysrus kid of the 1980's and your thoughts about the 1980's and what has happened to toys and attitudes are almost identical to mine. My dream has been to someday recreate Toysrus from the 1980's for myself. I have collected a closet full of sealed Gi Joes, WWF Hasbro and others from the old days but I haven't put a room together yet, but someday I will. You are an inspiration. You are awesome dude.

I am truly thankful for all you've done bro, I watch these videos and am able to be transported back to a more simple and easier time, I'm an 80's kid to, keep it coming mate

Could watch these videos over and over again, great inspiration for my own 80s museum. Fantastic video.

WOOOOOOOOWOOOOOOOWOOOOOOOW!!!!!!! That is a B-E-A-U-TIFUL thing. It literally looks like the inside of a toy store during the 80s (about ooooooh1985). Talk about a trip down memory lane.....my hats off to you.... That is sooo awesome. I'm into collecting gijoes and g1 transformers but I focus mostly on transformers. I'm definitely subscribing.

Rarely do I comment on a video, and I honestly think this is around my 10th comment in as many years, but this video is absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing your collection with the world.

I only recently found you channel and I have to say your passion and enthusiasm for 80s toys is fantastic then I see this video in the time line and I’m blown away! Absolutely amazing great passion, dedication and hard work has gone in to this collection a pleasure watching and all the best for your next find 👍

This is the best toy video edit ive ever seen! Thank you! SO COOL! What a great walk down memory lane!

Quite possibly the best best toy related video Ive ever seen. A moving tribute and visual feast.

Totally awesome video and an even more totally awesome museum , i left an extreme like man .

Good job on the room, it's very well coordinated and organized. Thank you for sharing!

Great story behind your museum Mike! Keep dreaming & stay young....In heart/spirit if nothing else. Thx for sharing with all of us who were lucky enough to grow up in this decade.

well done, one of the best collection videos I've seen. I like the set up you got.

Amazing!!! Definitely one of the best videos i ever watched on youtube.

Michael, I am so glad that you are showing off your collection in detail. I can't wait to see the next video!

After two years of waiting for this video to show up again in my news-feed, I finally have added it to my favorite videos section. Clicked subscribed and thank you for sharing your awesome toy collection for all of us to enjoy!

It is a thing of beauty.

Amazing!!

Great collections!!!!! I never know I had chance to see these toys again Thanks for the videos, it does help me bring up good old 80s memory

When you talked about the sign, it gave me chills. Much respect to you, sir. Amazing.

I tried clicking thumbs up 12 times but it only let me do it once!

Where did you find all those vintage pristine toys??

Hello Michael - I LOVE your videos! Your passion for all things 80s brings a tear to my eye. I grew up in the same era and we had it all! The best music, movies, toys & cartoons! Your collection is UNBELIEVABLE! Well done mate - All the Best, Keep up the fantastic work!!

Enjoyed the video a lot. It's so well edited and filmed and you can tell how much love went into everything :)

With success of IRON MAN the movie , one has to wonder why we don't have a CENTURIANS film franchise yet , huh??

Sad Toys R us going out of business world wide.

The quality of your videos is amazing, your voice, camera work, lighting, editing, music... this is Netflix worthy. Not to mention the content. So many great memories. I completely forgot about my Wheeled Warriors until I watched your review, Thank you Michael for all of your hard work!

WOW, I'm going to have to watch your other parts of your tour! I had a least 1 things out of everything you are covering right now. I remember the day my mom sold my Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors base at a garage sale she had. Those toys bring back so many memories.

Thanks for sharing your story about why you collect, and showing us this massive museum of yours. The Kenner Robocop figures are such an underrated and almost forgotten toy line. So great to be reminded of them!

Your Centurion collection is so awesome, I have never seen so much love for this toy line. Let alone this complete of a collection.

So because of you I started collecting all my old toys again and I know have that same joy every time I look at my toys and I realized how important toys r us really meant to me and that toy smell it has when you first walk in.

I grow up in Italy in the 80's and I use to watch mostly the same cartoons like you but I started collecting toys only few years ago and now they are very rare to find and expensive too! Your collection is timeless and priceless complimenti 👍

Loven it I'm a 80's baby myself, you remind me of old Christmases opening up gifts and seeing these toys. Thanks for sharing

I enjoyed your story of collecting as much as the collection. It is awesome and you are too! Thanks for sharing Michael.

Omg! Im so jelly!! As soon as you opened that door, i was instantly a kid in a candy store...lol. i use to have lots of fun 80s toys and figures from various 80s cartoons!. Excellent Vid! Will be watching the other parts. So far, Excellent Epic Collection and excellent shelf work!!! As well as room design!!

It's great when you are with someone who encourages/ supports your hobbies. Your collection is amazing~

Michael, you are living my dream! I grew up in the 80s also, and my family didn't have much money either. Now I search Ebay all the time for these toys. Thanks for the history you give on this video.

Wow! Awesome collection! I know the feeling! My junior high school was a 5 min bike ride to toys r us! During the 86 fall releases from hasbro, we kept going there everyday waiting to see new joes and transformers! Growing up in the 80’s was the best!

Hello from Quebec, great collection im like wow it bring such memories but I didn’t knew Toys r us till the middle of the 90’s I remember Toyville was always fun to walk the aisle of my local Woolworth and Kmart seeing all of theses toys. Thanks for sharing your collection

I was born in 76. I was ten when Optimus died. Changed my life forever!!! The 80's toys and cartoons were just a magical time! Your room should be under the protection of the secret service!!! LMAO magnificent collection!!! "Till the day, till all are one"

Fantastic video of the ultimate toy room! I myself grew up in the 80's, born in 1972 and I remember the toy stores being stocked so well back in the day. Your right, trip to TRU just isn't the same anymore. I check mine weekly, but the stuff on the shelf doesn't have the same excitement as it did when we were growin up. Look forward to part 2!!!!!!

Thank You so much for taking me back!!! I miss going to Toys R Us in the late 80s/90s. My favorite moment was walking through the video game isle and Watching the game demos for the Nintendo and Sega!

Awesome display Michael and can I just say, you have a "gorgeous" and most elegant way with words. I was born in 77 so thanks for the trip down memory lane, I look forward to part two. All the best.

as an '80s child growing up in England, this was my bread & butter!! Without doubt my fav toyline was M.A.S.K., but like you my parents couldn't (or wouldn't!) afford to feed the collection, so I too dreamed of what it would be like to own them (aside from the ones I got bought at birthdays/Christmas) and cherish them without ever doing so....I lived in a part of Greater Manchester called Middleton. There was a huge Arndale centre in town and at the back of it was a kinda supermarket mum used to shop in and on one specific aisle was just rows and rows of toys where I used to lose myself! There was also another store (John Menzies?) that used to have toys right at the back....ahhhh, the memories! Now, at 45 I can really appreciate your collection and what you've done, how you've recaptured the magic of your childhood and the fact your wife has helped and supported it is just as awesome! Fantastic, just way too cool; thank you for sharing and re-igniting blissful childhood memories :)

Wow thx to your wife for that toys r us logo.The room does give out an 80s feeling.Be safe be blessed take care everyone.

I just discovered your channel and I absolutely love it! I was born in 1977, so the 80's was my playground and I remember all of the lines that you talk about on your channel! I loved Star Wars, GI Joe, Wheeled Warriors, Transformers, MASK, He-Man, MUSCLE, Battle Beasts, Thundercats and TMNT, as well as a few others, but those mentioned are my absolute favorites! I still have a few of my toys as well, but like many others, many were given away after I passed them on to my little brothers. Thank you for your work and for collecting so that I can relive this part of my life that I hold so dear!

Middle of depressing January at work. Had to come to this video to lift my spirit. Works every time.

Your intro was superb! You're right, just getting to a toy store to simply look was amazing. I grew up in a small Minnesota town. We had NO toy stores. Seeing toys in a store took a trip to the Twin Cities that was rarely made. In the early 70s and on into the 80s, department store Christmas catalogs were the rage. A very enjoyable video!

This is actually the first video I saw from your channel. It popped up on my feed after watching a few Toys 'R' Us demise related videos. Your museum room set up is more Toys 'R' Us than Toys 'R' Us Has been in the past 2 decades. The lighting and the set up all perfectly recaptures the feeling of an 80s Toys 'R' Us. There is just a warm and fuzzy feeling when watching all these virtual tours. Excellent Work!

I absolutely love this. Every cut brought be back. Yo Joe! Can't wait to click for Part 2.

Pure Awesomeness! This is one of the best nostalgia channel on youtube. Michael Mercy and James Rolfe are true 80's Scholars

Hey, I’m here because of Rebel Force Radio. Mind blowing stuff! I grew up in Yugoslavia and we had to go to Italy or Austria to get toys like LEGOs, which were the only expensive toys my parents decided to buy for me, because we didn’t have money to spare and after seeing how creative I got with LEGOs, they saw the value in them. Just looking at LEGO catalogs gave me hours of pleasure and daydreaming. 80s really was a special decade.

great collection! i wasn’t able to hold on to all my GIJoes or star wars toys from childhood, this channel fills a void in me. I love your channel! keep up the great work.

Beautiful collection and a real pleasure to watch! Looking forward to more great vids and thank you for making them!

I just stumbled on your channel last night and im in love. Its so wholesome and great to see theres lots of other people that are kids at heart. I'm only 22 but my uncle got me hooked on the original transformers. I wish i had the discipline that you did to save the boxes and take great care of every toy. I still have a few, a SoundBlaster reissue, Scourge (black Optimus Prime), and my prized Takara Predaking.

I love your collection. Brings back some many memories..... these days I have moved on to my love or airplanes but still have a placed for the 80s collection......

Same! Your story is my story, I think that is part of the fascination of why I still buy myself a doll here and there,things I couldn't afford then I can now treat myself to. Makes me feel like a kid .❤

Just found this channel and video. Gonna binge through this series and check your other stuff out. Great video!!

Great stuff my man. I will definitely be watching the rest of this series

Great video dude, I forgot all about the Centurions! Gosh, I had all of um. Wonderful collection & the format along with some cartoon snippets is excellent.

Great video and narration ! Makes me feel like a kid again. Thank you!

Amazing videos and channel. Lots of nostalgia from my toys, Thank you for doing this 👍🏻👍🏻.

Just came across your video. Amazing brother. This video literally brought me back to youth and put tears in my eyes.

I work at a Toys R Us here in Canada and while I agree I don’t necessarily feel that magic in the store any more either. I can happily say the kids still do. That’s the best part of my job, seeing the little kids sprint ahead of their parents to get to the door and run to the section they know their favourite toys are. And seeing the joy as they stare in amazement at their hero’s.

My friend, you've got a great voice, an eloquent manner, a heartfelt passion for toys from our childhood but most importantly , a beautiful, clear love and respect for your wife. Thanks for sharing through this channel and taking us all back to better days! 🙏🏼

Amazing collection! You got a new sub! I just relived my childhood. I love the 80’s!

Hey man. The small bit of your back story really moved me. I’m glad you have the means to make a room like that one now!

OMG so much memories! Was born in 81 and haven't seen that stuff for a long time.. Thanks for bringing me back in my childhood for a moment.. Much love from Montreal 😊

WOW!! This is the most IMPRESSIVE collection I've ever seen!!! (Maybe because I used to have some of these toys when I was a kid!) Cheers from France !

Wow, that's a well made video & amazing collection!!.... Oh the nostalgia 😍😍😍

Phenomenal video on the hobby we love! Can't wait for part two!

This sums up how I feel about toys. Thank you sir. It's amazing that you have a wife who whole-heartedly supports you. Gives me hope for the world.

A stunning collection! As an 80s kid myself, I really appreciate your entire collection. Godspeed, Michael!

This is amazing. All my generation of toys, and a story like so similar to mine. This is beautiful brother! I’m sharing this to my Facebook and like every platform LOL this is amazing content!!! I’m blown away

Brings back so many memories. This was an awesome video!!

OMG! I am in absolute LOVE with your collection brother! I am like you. I enjoyed just being there in TRU. I was magic. I would love to be able to walk into such a magical room brother!

Very very very inspiring you have motivated me to start my own personal museum lil by lil... You definitely took me to my child hood peg hunting and just looking at the toys at toyrus because my parents didn't have much money ( never any tantrums lol maybe once or twice lol) but did very well bringing us up.. 1 toy a month but just going there was like going to theme park waoooo great nostalgic memories I can feel it now.. Thanks again keep up the great work I respect your grind..

Love your collection! I'm an 80's baby & these toys were awesome during my childhood.

The 80's were absolute magic. It looks like you captured the best of it in your museum, cheers!!

Thanks for sharing. My childhood nostalgia is also of looking at the toy shelves and admiring all the great 80s toy lines. In fact I never got to own a Transformer but I remember very vividly the beautiful Transformer boxes. Megatron's in particular was very impressive.

Wow, I'm totally jealous! That's awesome room! Nice collection!

Hey I came across these lovely videos the other night and it brought back memories, you see my life can be stressful at times working dead end jobs, and trying to raise a family and sometimes I yearn for my childhood.On my quiet times when the kids aren't around me and my wife always watch old 80s commercials and we try sometimes catching an 80s movie or T.V. show here or there, some people don't bother looking back at there childhood but the 80s was a decade of such great things that I can't let it go, I love the toys the movies the shows everything was awesome.I just Remember opening up my MANTECH toys during Christmas time and being so excited, alot of people don't even remember Captain Power when I saw that my Nostalgia feels went nuts.Anyway just wanted to say Thanks for showing your collection, it looks awesome.And if you ever would like to talk 80s stuff I have so many things I remember.Thanks

You are a true collector. Not afraid to express your passion. Represent the 80s man, the golden age of cartoons and toys. Dusting your collection must take forever!

Amazing video my friend. Your collection is a true work of art. My wife is also very supportive of my passion for collecting. Every birthday and holiday I can guarantee at least 1 or more figures that I e had my eye on I miss the days of hunting at toys r us. I also grew up in the 80s. These department stores just dont have the magic of toys r us Once again, beautiful collection, enjoy!
