That was me with the box of skeletons. Glad it started to turn your day around 👍

Good video, thanks! I agree, it's not what happens, but how we respond that makes the difference.

Theo you are not the only one ...I can not be in crowds ...it can be tough at times ...

Shout out bent legs!

RIP gimbal 😭 Great video bro. Glad you managed to resorect the camera and turn it into a good day. 👊

Dude! Happy early birthday 🥳 🤟I turn 36 this year as well. Fuck time flies and I feel like an old man haha don’t sweat the small stuff homie, I know shit is annoying, with bad luck, there’s always some good luck. Life is a damn gamble but know we are here for ya. Hope you have a good year bro

You're outlook on life and video content overshadowed any technical difficulties 💜

So glad you were able to fix it! We've all had days like that, bouncing back is hard but so important! Great vid as always

So glad your Cam was okay man. Oh felt anxious watching, thinking about it! Deffo Insurance! 🙌👊

Was hoping to make a trip to Stafford as no NEC but couldn't make it, thanks for showing, TOP Video as always.

Better stuff there than I've ever seen at US shows!!

I'm with ya on the crowding issue, I hate being in crowds it makes me feel anxious. Atleast you managed to fix the go pro.

HAPPY NEW YEAR :) to all ...keep on SLIMING

glad u figured out the camera m8 !!!!!!!

Love that movie Arena, love the weirdness of it.

Awesome way to turn your day around buddy. Well happy for you 👍

spotted: furbies in the wild! I'm really glad you were able to still connect with friends and supporters, and sooo glad the camera is all good!

Good to see you Theo! I really wish we had shows like these in london :(

Phew, you fixed the camera! We had an awesome day at Stafford, there were some excellent traders with £1 rummage boxes. Enjoyed your footage as it’s brought all the little memories back from the day and we get to learn the traders names/tags. Keep up the toy fair vids

Great to hear it got fixed bro 👊 love the @retroghetto link ups it’s that channel that put me into this one also

Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed this video drop (not the camera drop). Refreshing to see an open and honest documentation of causality of the bad luck moment. Glad to see you fixed it as well 🙏

Cool respect GGG-unit !!!!

That Arena figure is dope. I always liked the grasshopper guy.

Those old school warhammer miniature look pretty cool 🎉🎉🎉

Oh thanks goodness theo!! Happy birthday for the 4th! I need to catch up on the rest of your videos! December has been so busy! Nice to see action man there too and James bond Jr 😊

Definitely agree about the early bird, I was in at the start of normal opening at Doncaster and it did get quite busy quite fast and like you say at the start it makes it harder to have a good dig around if you're stood at a popular stall and the gangways are tight. You must have started early doors to be aiming for an 8 start, fair does!

Thank you for making this!

Happy Birthday Theo! Happy to hear you managed to get the camera fixed, all's well that ends well, but I totally get the feeling man, glad you didn't let it derail the day with the crew.

Yay! Glad it had a happy ending! ☺️

Another great video brother glad you managed to get the Camera Working 🤙

Happy birthday to you for the 4th Theo! I hope you have a great one! I love seeing you and The Boys together. I found your channel through The Retro Ghetto, so shouts to Callum for that! Glad you managed to fix your camera. Happy new year 👊🏻

Great to see you at the show! I nearly didn't go but glad I did because I found those Akira statues. I'm not sure if I'll bother again though. I've never seen the third hall open which confuses me because they have cars parked in there. They could EASILY make Stafford as big as, say, Doncaster if they wanted. I'm glad you mentioned Robbo Toys, he has some Transformers Aerialbots I need. Just so you know for future, the wifi code is on the back of the door near the entry desk. As you pay, if you spin a 180, its there.

Glad you're camera was ok in the end bro ,happy birthday for the 4th🎉

BIRTHDAY GREETINGS Theo.......will be in touch about the SH Patches......plus the TURGORE possibilities....\m/

Love your positive attitude man, only recently discovered your channel but looking forward to digging through your back catalogue. Happy birthday for tomorrow dude!

Still AMAZED how awesome the toy shows are done in EUROPE...blows anything around my area here in WESTERN CANADA ... You and ED have the best toy show vids ..

it's back at the NEC Christmas, 2024 dates April 7th , September 29th , December 27th

Awesome video as always , anther great show. Your videos are not only full of great toys and knowledge of them, but they always hit the emotional feels aswell. Love you bro.. so glad you got the camera working again aswell.

Great video

Ahhhhh and breathe Theo!!!! Leave that 500 clams in your back pocket 😂👍 It would’ve put me in a stinker too, thankfully you’ve managed to repair it, hopefully I’ll be able to say hello in April at NEC. Keep up the great work man 👍 Happy birthday buddy 🎂👍

Happy new year, hoping this year is even better than the last

Great video Theo really enjoyed it, the colours on that Toxic Crusader Vehicle was beautiful.

After having a look to see what's on, I think I'm going to attempt to get the the Toy Fair at the NEC on Sunday 7th April. £24 on the train from Leighton Buzzard, and a tenner to get in....I think I can manage that, AND it's cheaper than going to London!

Hope to see you at Stafford in the morning dude. Let me know how your studio is coming along---- Zimmer frame Cowboy We can always go to Tri-tex Games in Stafford for wargame stuff

Ive seen that movie Arena, i totally forgot about that movie, nice to see it getting some love

Awesome stuff. Glad camera is all good 👍 happy new year 🔥🥳

Glad to hear that the camera is ok bro! ..and that guy gift sure was nice!' Happy bday bro!!!!😊

“Why do we fall, Master Bruce? - So we can learn to pick ourselves back up again” great to see this is a lesson you had learned and had under your belt mate. And still a great video to boot! Awesome to see you and Bentlegs again at Donny, looking forward to seeing that one too. Spoiler for my Bolton and Donny double whammy that’s coming up on Thursday: I may have picked up those Trendmaster Mars Attacks toys from Dario ;) Many happy returns for tomorrow dude!

Great video as always! Love the subscribe animation. Happy New Year and looking forward to seeing your channel grow even more 🙌

As always great content Theo. The toys team Mafia will catch you at some of the big fairs this year man

Great positive attitude Theo. Really enjoy watching your videos. Cheers from Australia! Hope your year turns out great .

Good job! I am happy for your ability to move past a bit of terrible luck. If anything, this is a great lesson for the rest of us. Happy new year

Happy birthday in advance Theo. Glad things turned around in the end. What a nightmare! It just goes to show how important random acts of kindness are on our mental health. Looking forward to what the new year holds for you. On a different note, hope you don’t mind, just wanted to ask first. I’m looking to make a video on Jushin liger toys and wanted to use a clip from your 2023 Doncaster video as you were responsible for me discovering what this model kit was that I loved as a teen. It’s been great jumping down the rabbit hole and learning about the anime where Dragon King Dolga comes from.

This was the first of your videos I've seen and I really enjoyed it. Good job. Also, it's my birthday on the 4th of January too, but I turned 40 not 36 so happy belated birthday my fellow 4th of Januaryer.

Arena is absolutely awesome.

Great video! Glad the camera got fixed! What were the Akira boxes you got to check out?

HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉🥳🥳 TOY HUNT 2024 IS ON.

Great video bro. Im new to the channel n ur vids are bringing back some memories. Hella toys i totally forgot about. Thankyou. Shame the event weren’t the best

Shame you didn’t enjoy the event but from the footage it looked amazing!

Nice. Sorry to hear about this particular experience but that’s sweet you picked up the toxie helicopter recently. That’s a real tough find. Just saw a video from Ed’s retro geekout which had that as one of his grail pieces he hasn’t tracked down yet. Ugly as sin that thing but a damn fine piece to add to the collection.

Glad you fixed the camera dude.

Happy belated birthday brotha !

Skillz

You're great, my friend! I just watched your Freddy board game video, and let me tell you, you gained a new subscriber. I'm Tattoo, your new subscriber, an Argentine living in Mexico.

I imagine the low ceilings stops air circulation, so that adds to the stuffyness. It's why I stopped going to London film and comic con. Too many bodies in not enough space, and in summer as well.

Always love your footage ma man. Shouldn't ever justify your mind set you get your good and bad days. Stoked your camera is fine.... and happy birthday for the 4th much love 💣💣💥💥👊👊

Great video as always Theo....I'm taking a break from fairs for a while....need to get some fresh stock lol....hope you had a good Christmas mate. See you soon

1989/ 1990 Entertainment in video released: Arena & Crash and burn And Robo jox All three movies. Good stuff :)

Happy birthday! Know how you feel if something ruins my day I find it really hard to pull myself out of the mood sometimes.

I love this video and really enjoyed it. It just adds more interesting content. And as I typed this, I just heard you say YOU FIXED IT!

Damn,,,,I'd LOVE to go to one of these Toy Fairs. Do you know of any near London (Apart from Sandown) or in the South-East? Preferably within walking distance of a train station, lol. I don't drive and have to rely on public transport to get to these things :(

I'd have seriously been tempted with the carded Madballs head poppers even with the steep price,and I would have got them out just to see if the heads were as sticky as I remember them being.👍👌

Was good to see the Jurassic park figures! I had all of those that he had on that stall. Unfortunately I don’t have the action figures of the dinosaurs but I still have the little metal figures of the dinosaurs that was on the left side. Out of the box and without the cards now though. Your right it does look like a smaller area so feels crowded quicker. Shame they moved it from the NEC. Why did they move it? Sorry you had that with your camera, like you said write it off as a bad experience and try on focus on the next thing, it’s great that it ended with meeting the guy with the figures you want and he let you have them. It’s just what you needed. Glad you managed to fix the camera! Btw happy birthday for tomorrow! (I type comments as I’m watching the video)

If you fancy a road trip we would love to have you attending one of our events in Scotland. We have Aberdeen, Glasgow and Errol Toy and Collectables fairs.

Ertl Airwolf on a card, I spied. That I would have been sorely tempted by had I but been there! What sort of crossover do you think there is between here and Doncaster? I had to look on a map to see how much further south it is!

Love The movie Arena I've seen it a few times forgot all about it.

Ive a 4 in 1 2 dvd pack with ARENA and ELIMINATORS 😂

Wish we had stuff like this in Ireland . unless there is but I've never heard of any

Another awesome episode mate, and I know what it’s like when things don’t go right on the day I can get fixated on the negative as well, but so good to see all your friends giving you gifts and get those cool skeleton miniatures from warhammer and although you weren’t using your camera the quality still came through mate 👌🏻two items I saw that I would have picked up from the toy fair is the Kenner robocop robo 1 car 🚙 been wanting to get one of those for a while and the James Bond Jr car 🚗 as well great job mate catch ya on the next one have a great week 😎👍🏻

Ah man, what fixed it in the end ? Was it like some sort of reset or something?

Where can I purchase one of those Arena toys? That’s so cool. You finally got that Arrow Video set

Happy birthday Theo - don’t worry, one day, like me, the bath of foxic avenger waste we pray for will spill from back of a truck and turn us into a mutant monster to revenge upon our enemies. Or just be cool to look like as we go to the chippy. Don’t let the baristards get you down!

Enjoyed the video. Only thing i would say is that the title of the video suggests that the toy fair was the worst you have ever been to, suggesting error on their part. Maybe just say 'Broken Camera!'

Always confuses me why they don't use that 3rd hall fr more stalls. I couldn't make that one as I threw my back out so it was a bit of a crap start for me too that day so couldn't go. Keep up the good work pal.👍

I remember when Oldhammer was just called Warhammer 😢

THE THIRD ROOM HAS NEVER BEEN OPEN IN THE TEN YEARS IVE BEEN GOING. not sure whos told you it opens mate but it was probably once in a blue moon, as you can see if they havent opened it when people are still wanted to book a stall they never open it.

happy birthday bruv

Sorry to tell you know but “always get the dji care & refresh” package with any dji stuff because I guarantee at some point something will break on them, they’re great but fragile ! Speaking from experience and after destroying over £3k’s worth of drones 😂😂😂😂😂

What is it about pizza and chips? That was my new years eve meal and omfh as you say, it was fire! Happy 2024 hope it'll be a goodun😊

That Z-bot is with me sorry! Pop to warrington one day you can have it at cost.

😎 Hope you have a Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 I've also been trying to say more positive in my life. Have an AWESOME Birthday and do something that makes you happy and enjoy! 😉👍 Later Dude....

Happy Birthday :)

Somebody fart in di minibus

Sometimes it's worth raiding an event that's focused on trains or whatever, people always have unrelated stuff to sell off. I once went to a train fair and picked up a couple of carded Cyborg Cybonators sets for £30 the pair! Result! And don't mug yourself about having a shit day, it happens to everybody sooner or later, nobody's on top form all the time and not every event's great. Swings and roundabouts, isn't it? I'm always having problems with tech and I panic and it always turns out to be something dead simple I've missed because I've panicked! These are the breaks... 😂👍

M.U.S.C.L.E.!!!

Mate sometimes stuff happens and u can either roll with the punches and try to see the better side cause who knows what else might go wrong.

Area ❤

damn dude that sux hope u can fix it or get a good replacement soon. Still managed to get an epic looking vid out!

3:09 - Still waiting on a pro review of this item, i have two of them already so suprised the big Pixel hasnt featured it yet on his channel. Everyone i have seen (4x) so far has the bandolier fitted upside down, great looking figure but the fitment of that piece (The bandolier - too tight) has some issues on what is otherwise a solid figure.

Eyup dude it's Tesh
