EPIC Present 34 years late! The Ghostbusters Firehouse playset by Kenner! 

I grew up with a Kenner firehouse in the early 90s but it belonged to my 2 older brothers before me and thus was missing a lot of parts. No firepole, no exterior sign no containment unit. Last month a got one complete from a toy convention in Florida and it’s glorious. So I’m glad you and I can share this Christmas excitement. Merry Christmas everybody

The joy of being an adult, we can make our past Christmas dreams come true.🎉🎅🏻🎁 Merry Christmas Justin and Ally

Merry Christmas Justin and Ally

Love to see you so happy Boss you deserve it you work really hard and Merry Christmas. ☃️🎁🎄🎁☃️ . Rick from San Diego. And have a Happy New Year

Very cool, Justin!

Merry Christmas. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

I grew up poor but never realized we were poor. I recently asked for the 1988 McDonalds Holiday Huggable Muppet Babies. I received 2 for Christmas and the other is on the way. I love the vintage things from my childhood. Awesome video and glad you were able to get this playset!

Merry Christmas!!! ❤💚❤

That was a great Christmas gift. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

My sister had a Barbie Dream House but the only playset I had was Fort Courage. (which I loved)

So memories for my younger brother (by 11 years). He asked my mom and dad for *The Ghostbuster's Firehouse,* ended up with a couple of the Action Figures and Ecto-1. When I was kid there was a few things I wanted too but never got. One year I was *super surprised* when I got first full-sized bike. ❄☃🎄🤶🎅 *Merry Christmas* Justin and Ally; may the New Year be the best year ever.

I owned one as a kid but a friend stood up and leaned on it breaking the roof of it. I later in life got another one, and now my world is complete. Even have an original Ecto-1 to go inside! It’s so massive it actually sticks out of the firehouse. Haha

Me and my brother had the Ghostbusters Firehouse. Christmas of '89, along with the Batcave for Batman. It was so cool. I love these show 'n tell videos. It's something different when you're not at Disney or Knott's Berry Farm. It's better to have this on RU-vid than a site that is behind a pay wall and you have to be a member to watch.

I got this for christmas in 89! The pink slime ruined my grandparents carpet lol.

Thanks for the video. So, cute! So happy for you! ❤🎄🎁👻🚒👨🏻‍🚒

This was my top toy as a kid. My four Ghostbusters plus the firehouse. It was the perfect movie: Action, comedy, ghosts, rad music. A cartoon series that matched the quality. The slime that they sold for them, the ghost figures that always had some cool feature. I was lucky enough to see ghostbusters 2 in theaters when I was a really little kid. Then, they rereleased the original in theaters a few years ago and I got to see it in the Arclight in hollywood before it closed for good. The theater had terrible audio, and old seats, and it felt just like theaters did when I was a little kid. It felt like I was able to see it exactly as you would have seen it back when it was released. It was fantastic. I did pick up these preproduction figures recently.

I was (and still kind of am) a big toy kid. Wasnt big in video games but had an immense amount of toy trucks, cars, planes and ships. Like you I made my own adventures and endless hours having a good time. These days I've grown up sure....but now its model railways and model kits lol!

The fact that Egon AND his hair can fit in there? Shows just how big that playset actually is.

Merry Christmas Justin. I was born Nov 84. I know what you're talking about. Turtle Blimp ! I had one. And the Eco-1. Never the firehouse. Man I would have gone to town with that one. !!!

Funny, I watched the Ghostbusters cartoon when it originally aired, but I must have totally blitzed on toys! Never got a single one! (Star Wars on the other hand...) Anyway, glad you finally got your holy grail, it's all downhill from here. ;-)

That is a pretty great idea for a woodworking project: making a cat- supportable Tiki-detailed firehouse to be a cat house. The firepoll could be replaced with a scratching post.

Oh, this takes me back! I got this for Christmas 90 or 91. I'm glad you finally got it. Merry Christmas!

MERRY CRIMMUSS! Thanks for always making great shows!

Tonka toy crane took me a long time to finally find one.

Merry Christmas and happiest of New Years to you, your family and friends! Thanks for all you do! 🎉🎉🎉 ❤ 😊

These toys take me back and I'm now 40.

Very very cool.... Super thoughtful gift of vintage toys

I remember seeing a proton pack in the trunk of my mom’s car and got so excited. But my mom said it was a gift to donate to the poorer kids. I was so bummed until Christmas morning when Santa brought me one! lol good video Mr. Randomland!

I was graduating college in 1986, so I missed ALL the fun toys! 😎

Merry Christmas

I like this format for you! I’m old enough that I grew up with the OG Ghost Busters with the gorilla. When the movie came out, I thought, “where’s the gorilla?” By the time the GB movie toys came out, I had grown out of toys. This firehouse is like the Death Star of the late 80s. My Shogun Godzilla would have loved knocking it over.

OMG! So frickin' cool! I'm so glad you finally got your childhood grail playset. I love seeing adults who love toys! Ghost Busters were always so dope!👻👻👻 Merry Christmas Justin! 🎄☃️❄️🧑‍🎄

Brilliant!,…hours of fun!…👻.X

Your toy episodes are the best. Please give us more

Merry Christmas Justin and Ally. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your adventures in the New Year.

GRACE and BLESSINGS y’all

Elevator? It’s a firehouse pole.

I remember as a kid Hot Wheels had just come out. I asked for a set for Christmas. I was at my friends a few houses down from ours and I saw my dad park in the driveway. He opened the trunk and took out a Hot Wheels set. I never told my parents that I saw that. lol

Cool piece! Merry Christmas!

After saving and saving, my mama got me the ecto and the figures and then my brother stole and sold them along with all my original g1 transformers. It’s REALLY nice seeing all this again.

Now that is one cool present.

I love seeing your excitement and joy over a special toy! The great thing about being an adult is you can choose to parent yourself and treat your inner child to something you really wanted, a dream come true for you! ✨️

I got the turtle figs for my daughter in the 80's . Toys in this era were awesome. Merry Christmas to you and Ally.

Love the toy/computer stuff on RU-vid Justin. Great to share in your nostalgia even when it’s something that wasn’t on my radar.

Merry Christmas Justin and Ally !

Your videos make my day better, thank you

Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker from F Troop fame stared in the live action Saturday morning show in 1975 with Bob burns as Tracy the Gorilla. The animated show came after the film’s success. I loved this show when when I was 8 or 9.

Awesome collection

Awesome!!!! And you got the Variant Firehouse. Merry Christmas!!!!!!!

Ha, I just ordered the Real Ghostbusters Ecto-1 reissue from Amazon with a Christmas gift card. Perfect timing.

I grew up with Kenner Super Powers figures, and I got the Ecto-1 for my 6th birthday. Thank you for taking me back to my childhood, bro. You have no idea how much this nostalgic trip helped me out.

Merry Christmas Justin!!

I had this! Lost all the pieces and threw it out 10-15 years ago. Really wish I hadn't. That batman brings me back.

That's awesome

Merry Christmas Justin!!!Hope you London and Ally have an amazing Christmas my friend😀

Thanks for your vlog 😊greetings too Ally

Merry Christmas!🎄

They look in pristine condition ❤❤ merry Christmas 🎉

Merry Christmas!

That's cool, man! I get that. I came from a lower middle-class family too. At least I think we were lower-middle class, we werent on welfare, my parents refused to have a dependence like that but, we didn't get anything really throughout the year, we got something on our birthday and then Christmas was the time of year. Mom worked a job so that we could have Christmas'. She never asked for or got anything for herself. She loved like penny pincher, literally, picking up pennies she found on the ground so we could have Christmas' and birthdays and a vacation each summer, which she had tricks of getting around things to get good deals, but, I get it, dude. The year I got the Kenner Bat cave was one of my favorite Christmas'. I had the Bat mobile and the Bruce Wayne figure you could put on the individual pieces I wore out and I didn't take care of it like I should have. I peeled the stickers off, took it in the shower with me to play with it under raining conditions, just, I never took care of it like I should, but mom and dad were just happy I was giving them a lot of use and enjoying it. Yeah, growing up in poverty, man. The kid up the street had everything. His bedroom was always a total stye he had so much and then they had a play room. He had Street Sharks, Ninja Turtles, Micromachines, a Nintendo, Hot Wheels and tracks that covered his bedroom floor, Cross-fire, 13 Dead End Drive, Battle trolls, he had all this cool stuff and I had very little, but, like you, I wouldn't have had it any different. Iearned to appreciate things more than people I've known who've been given everything and haven't had to live off of very little. Someone people give that up because they want to know and understand why poor people are happy, especially with so little, and why that lifestyle is while the poor people are like, what are you crazy!?! But, I had a mom and dad that worked hard, taught us to work hard and survive off of very little and to really appreciate and get the most of what we have. Dad was big on making sure things were picked up off the floor because it communicated how appreciative we were of what we had and that things lasted longer when we took care of them keeping cloths off the floor, untying our shoes before we took them off, etc. I get it, man. And then, as others have said in the comments below, you grow up and life becomes complicated and really gets hard, but there's some disposable income, that comes at the cost of living a certain lifestyle and giving things up where you can afford the things you didn't have when you were a kid. I've been able to acquire what I always wanted as a kid, for the most part, but it's still not happiness, happiness is this, after 30 some-odd years you get lucky and you get to hold what you wanted all your life, and you appreciate it. Having all the disposable income, it gets you stuff, but stuff wears out and you have to have the newest and greatest to keep up with technology, but it's having kids and being able to work hard and penny pinch to get your own kids a few simple things, like this, to bring them some momentary happiness, but the longer lasting memories. It's good to tell your kids NO sometimes, because they can't have everything, and that's life, but THEN they get to have moments like this but still know mom and dad loved them and worked hard to get what they could. There's kids whose parents gave them everything but love and time. Never went to their baseball games or recitals or dad sending his daughter off to prom, because they were never home, always working so they could have everything and the best, which they'd have given up it all to have mom or dad in their lives and even though Mom and dad gave them everything, they cut them out of their life altogether and now don't give their kids everything, tell them NO and show them they love them by giving them time and support and love. That's where I got lucky. Mom and dad couldnt give me everything I wanted, but they went to my games and watched and supported my successes. They knew when to tell me NO and that it was okay to say NO, that it helped give us leather skin. Yeah. Life's kinda funny isn't it? But this is cool, I know the feeling, man, and I'm sure you see it very much the same, because you get moments like this. Awesome, man! I had to built my playsets out of cardboard shoeboxes, crayons, paper and glue. Remember the Street Sharks advertisements where the kids had the cups stacked up, the junk that was part of the set, gritty sand, and pencils for the karate chop? Yup, I built sets like that. The Batman playset was what I had, but I built my own sets beyond that

I still have mine, it’s sitting in my parents attic. My gb toys are the only thing I never let go from childhood. Still a huge fan from the uk to this day.

Amen brother.

That Is awesome congrats

My childhood. bruh I loved it

Merry Christmas 🤶 🎄 ❤️

Cool Im happy for you its fun to find nostalgic toys that remind us how cool toys were back in the 70-80-90 toys I never had ghostbusters figures I found a peter Venkman at the flea market and a new rereleased figure of Egon shame I didn’t see the new figs in store (thank you scalpers)

Wow this makes me so happy you deserve to get this ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁...it was the red and purple slime they used in gb2 to pay homage to the Kenner play gel toy...but funny enough as a kid...I wanted the pink slime when I saw the movie😂

At 32:25 Justin missed a great opportunity for a movie line: “cha Ching, the trap is clean”!!! 🤪

I remember getting my firehouse on Christmas Day. Gosh, I missed that Hasbo, please remake it. 🙏

I remember getting the firehouse, in the UK. Had to put it together, carefully put the stickers on. And then I used the other feature. The grates on roof and upper level you could pour slime through and have figures stood there. It went everywhere and could never clean fully.

I got it for my birthday in June and it was on clearance. I only had the Real Ghostbusters figures. Ecto one and two. All for on clearance.

I’ve still got my firehouse. The only thing i held on to

SO MANY things I wanted...never received at Christmas. Sir Galaxy...a remote controlled robot. The Colonial Viper Launch Station. ROM the Spaceknight. The Micronauts Astrostation. ANY large scale Shogun Warrior.

I’m so excited for you!! My Granddaughter is also a GB fan! We are looking forward to GB Frozen Empire and we hope to get the “ghost trap” popcorn bucket 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Just wanted to say you're Awesome

Merry Christmas to you and Ally. I know how you feel about finally getting the Ghostbusters Firehouse after 34 years. Myself being in my mid fifties was finally able to get a 1974 Playskool Familiar Places Holiday Inn play set back in late 2019 of that was four years ago and only came with a few pieces but the most important part of the set was the Great Sign that goes for about $60 itself give or take a few dollars!

The Barbie Dream House was the toy I wanted, but never received! My friend had one so I did get to play with it.

And there was that terrible day in my early 20s I needed to make money and clear some space. My entire Real Ghostbusters and He-man collection had to be sold. I'm unsure which hurt more: Firehouse, Grayskull or Snake Mountain

The slime in GB2 was originally supposed to be blood red, but the studio felt that was too dark and scary for kids so they changed it to pink

Hey Justin hope Christmas 🎄 magic

Your Christmas find reminds me of my days of wanting the huge "Crusader 101" convertible (reminds you of a Cadillac)...the wait is always worthwhile...no matter how long the wait!

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁!!! The one from the 70s was originally a live action show and they would have the character of the gorilla named Tracy played by a person in a gorilla suit. I'll never forget that when the movie version came out in the 80s my mother was upset that they used that title. I could be wrong but I believe it was part of the Kroft Superstars which I used to watch when I was at about the age that you were when you got your proton packs. You would have enjoyed Kroft. A lot of puppets. 😊 😊 Glad you got the toy of your dreams.

I really hope the Hasbro/Kenner retro line re-releases this playset

Happy ... i remember at my return from the school of technician why I watch everyday in tv kids along my fast at horaries tipe 17 : 00

Cool. The “big” things I got when I was a kid…castle grayskull and gi joe aircraft carrier. I always wanted star war Ewok village and never got it. I saw what looked like it and unwrapped it to only be a speaker for 8 track cassette player

Actually ...the Holy Grail of Toys from the 80s must be the "G.I.Joe Aircraft Carrier"...🙌💯

I never had the Ghostbusters set but I had all the Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles sets and Zords etc. Always wanted the Ghostbusters set.

Enjoy. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing. The elevator is meant to mimic the firepole that was in the firehouse.

Feliz Navi-dad Everyone! Sending lots of love to you and your family. Especially Glen… I have a Taco Bell gift card for him Justin so let me know where he’s at. The 40’s are on me this year.

I had the Turtle lair. I wanted the fire house though. I'd love to see a show and tell on the TMNT Lair

strongly recommend getting 3d printed parts, mine has 3d printed signs from Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II had to replace the base for the pole, but the originals are in a box

I had it as a kid I played with it day in and day out but it broke my heart to lose it, the only part I have of it left is the support column, I have ecto 1 back but now I need the firehouse back

I had it!

Had I known, I'da sent you my sons in the attic with figures, the Ambulance, the ghost trap and the proton pack. Egon's arms spin around! The can of slime shriveled up years ago, but we have videos! It's next to the 18" Millenium Falcon and the 24" AT-AT. I won't get into the old slot cars and models trains. then there's my large format cameras, 8MM movie cameras, movie projectors, VHS Recorder, VHS camcorders. My vinyl collection and old radios/turntables are by me. I think of Christmas Vacation and the old movie sequence in the attic. I won't wear purple gloves!

More show and tells please

Mentioning of The Alamo made me grin because I was thinking of my dad's toy Alamo set. Somehow it got a mention....weird! My Dad passed away last year, so I've been trying to figure out what to do with all the stuff he had. He was a collector, and there's a LOT! Anyway his Alamo set is not an original, but a reproduction. I don't know the exact year that it was made tho. Dad had an original Alamo set when he was a kid. I think my grandmother threw it away when my dad was older.

I always wanted the USS Flagg. But it was $100.00 back in the day! Now, that I can afford it, it's $10,000.00 NIB! LOL

I would love Hasbro to reissue the Ghostbusters Firehouse headquarters.

I always wanted a firehouse myself i hope maybe they will re-release it through hasbro eventually. Another toy I always wanted and never got was the Inspector Gadget car.
