I actually remember a commercial where they showed one the winners with his loot and he had baby dolls and Barbie stuff in the pile around him and even then I knew that was b.s. No boy would have even considered going into that part of the store.

Well maybe he was, ya know....not that there's anything wrong with that.

This was the oldest commercial (1993) I could find advertising a shopping spree.

Yeah, sadly I wasn't able to find any from the 80's... but a few from the early 90's when the toys on the shelf were already pretty sucky

 

[Nintenjoe]

Yeah ____ the 90's! My vintage stops at 1989.

Bobby's World FTW!!!

Here's the newest edition in my quest to complete the Kenner Indy collection:

 

[MANDO]

Awesome! Congrats, Madcow! I love the vintage Indy and SW boxes. Those little dioramas they put togther for the shots get me every time.

Thanks! I love the boxes too and my plan is to actually get all the playsets MIB and when I'm ready, open them all and make displays. I cant wait!

 

[galactiboy]

Congrats Madcow... I'm really thinking Indy might be a series I need to collect.

What kind of prices do the loose figures and sets go for?

 

[Nintenjoe]

Just got these in today. It's been a while since I bought vintage MOTU.

Those look awesome man, I luckily I have everything in that photo Vintage collectables are my main passion, even tho I still collect alot of the modern stuff too. It saddens me when modern figure collectors hate to use the word "toys" because growing up in the 80s with a huge passion for toy action figures is where my inspiration and collection started and im proud of that.

Same here except for Beast Man & the Speeder Bike. I only bought this stuff to resell. The only modern stuff I buy is Masters of the Universe Classics and Hot Toys. Nothing beats a nice vintage toy in or out of the box.

 

[Dayve3]

I never picked up the new Masters of the Universe line, just stuck with the 80s line but it does look alot better than the new Thundercats line which just hurts my eyes to look at.

 

[Nintenjoe]

Yeah it's a shame Mattel couldn't the license for Thundercats. The Four Horsemen would've made awesome figures.

That Battle Cat/He-man 2-pack is the Commemorative re-release from 2000. Not vintage. Sorry to burst your bubble-hope you didn't pay too much.

Nah, I know. I've been collecting vintage He-Man for a while. I only bought the 2 pack along with everything else to resell cause I got good prices.

Just got these in. Keeping them.

 

[MANDO]

Those catalogs are a great pick up.

Indy's weird because it all seems to fluctuate. Marion and German Indy are the hardest to find and usually go for $50-$70 mint/complete. There's always a handful of Marion's on the bay for around $100 but they've been there for a really long time. In my experience you're better off trying to buy figures in lots.

 

[MANDO]

These are my latest Vintage pick-ups. Ollie was the real prize everything else was just icing on the cake. Haven't had a chance to un-warp Doom's ankle yet.

Cool scoreI had that Dr Doom and wolverine when I was a kid, I also had the black spiderman, capt america and a couple of others from that line, secret wars I think it was called

 

[galactiboy]

Yep Secret Wars, one of the cooler series from the 80's
