Holy crap that's a lot of "real robot" toys. I shudder to think if there is an existence of the box super sentai sofubi.

Love this. Thanks Matt.

Wow. This is GREAT!
I don't think we've ever actually seen Matt talk about toys that he actually OWNS! Great score on the Golion!

Clearly you don't want those anymore, given how they're just all in a pile. So, give them to me. All of them. ALL! THIS I COMMAND!
*ahem*
This is one of the times I do wish I had broadband so I could watch the madness. Nice stuff, man.

(Not that you're really missing anything, but... you don't have to let YouTube stream; you can pause the video, let it load, and watch when the video comes in. Just sayin'.)

It can take between 4 and 6 hours for a 3 minute clip to load.

Great vid. I've got some of those, but it's great to see so many in one fell swoop. We need more toy videos. I didn't see the Dougram mini I gave you, in there (unless I missed it) ;)

It was there -- with the mini Soltic! (Thanks again! My collection is full of welfare sofubi from others.... ;)

Hah...I think that can be said of all of our collections! The karmic boomerang just keeps circling. ;)

Oh, and I think one of my favorite sounds is the sound of sofubi clinking into each other. That, and spring loaded missiles clicking.
