Toy Hunters on Travel Channel Jan. 15th

[luey]

I mentioned this in the Buzz thread but the guy that bought the Rocket Firing Boba Fett was Daniel or Punkass from Tapout, long time vintage toy collector, he has bought several Mego items from me over the years, great guy... Definitely has deep pockets I really enjoyed the show, I called Tom (Tomart/Dayton) this morning and was giving him a hard time, I have visited his warehouse several times, also a great guy and very fun to talk to, the Disney stories are unbelievable... I told Tom I kept waiting for him to tell Jordan I had already cleaned him out of the good stuff

I cringed every time he low balled someone to sell their toys! You can't find an Oscar Goldman for that price. He is a total toy ball buster!

The only thing that hurts this business is uneducated people. Reality TV (Pawn Stars, American Pickers,etc) is all for peer entertainment. There is no need to get so emotional about all these shows and trash on the people such as last nights Travel show with Jordan.

In this business I don't think anyone is ever done learning, I still ask questions and I've done this a very long time.

Loved seeing SMDM if nothing else. $50 at NYCC though? Seemed low, or am I just not really up on SMDM stuff?

[Marvelmania]

Would have loved to have seen this. Maybe it'll come back on sometime soon.

I posted this in the other thread.....

I recorded it and watched it this morning thought it was pretty cool. nice to see things i never saw the Star Wars electronic game was neat........I laughed at that crappy artic Batman with the green tag.....I said i don't care if it had the tag that Batman is garbage....

Tom the collector cracked me up when the guy asked him for the Disney stuff i chuckled and said he ain't giving you ****....lol vintage Disney collectors don't part with anything....

The Boba Fett was neat, amazing how it was sitting in the guys store room in a box. I liked the Star War collectors reaction to it........

I kinda knew the Thundercats piece wasn't going to sell......unless your a hardcore TC fan no one wants that ugly bubble monster.....

$50 for a loose SMDM without his engine accessory actually might be a bit high but it's not too bad. Oscar Goldman, on the other hand, should have gone for more... especially boxed. I think they are going pretty consistently in the $150 to $200 range.

I know I read in a collector mag that there are only 15 known rocket fireing Boba Fetts,only 15 known to exist.

[Iron Mego]

I thought that Oscar went for a pretty good price.

This re-aired last night, so I finally got to watch it. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm only about an hour south of Cincy, so it makes me want to hope and my car and go harass people!

I laughed at that crappy artic Batman with the green tag.....I said i don't care if it had the tag that Batman is garbage....

Yeah, no one cares about those figures...I know, I have a ton of them in storage! I think he would have been better off picking up the Bruce Wayne and Joker he passed up in those boxes.

I can't believe he got that excited over those Corgi Batmobiles. I don't think they go for much do they? They aren't very old either. I recall that particular Jim Lee 2000s model sitting at TRU for quite a while.

He also said M.A.S.K. was a precursor to Transformers, which isn't true. Transformers debuted in the US in 84, and M.A.S.K. started in 85.

Still a fun show, and I hope to see more.

Looking forward to it. I just rewatched the pilot again last night. It's a fun show, so it will be cool to see more.

Is there only the pilot episode, so far? I really enjoyed it, by the way.
