Largest Marx Toy Playset Collection in the World on Display (George Kroll) 

For many years, it wasn't Christmas without getting a Marx playset. Between my brother and I, we had most of them.

15 years ago I was given a few weeks to live due to having melanoma (obviously I defied the time frame) and before I was scheduled to die I made a pilgrimage to the old Marx museum in Moundsville, W Va. Watching this video was almost as good as being there again. Thanks so much Paul for posting this and to George to allowing us to see your fabulous collection.

I could live there. I loved those toys. Have a few left. Thanks

I’ve heard from other collectors about how amazing this collection is, they weren’t kidding! Quite possibly the nicest vintage collection of Marx toys in the country. Wow!

Simply amazing!

What an amazing collection! That brings back a lot of memories! Some of those I had as a kid in the 60s!

Wow that is amazing collection

By far, that is the greatest collection of Marx toys I've ever seen!

Awesome collection. I had a few Marx sets and they are probably my fav toys. I played the hell out of them. Seeing all these war set reminded me of an episode of Thirty Something. A mom refused to buy her son any war toys, so she bought him a toy farm and when she saw him playing with it, he was having a war between the pigs and cows.

What a video, One of the last playsets I had was the Big Ceasar ship. The civil war, WW2 hand painted warriors of the world, The Untouchables, the construction camp the Alamo, Ben Hur, Tales of Wells Fargo with the train, the farm set, the Dinosaur playset. No doubt about it Marx was OUR toy company

Can I come over an' play! Wow! Amazing!

Easily one of the finest displays I have ever seen. Gives a great overview of just how cool and diverse Marx' sets were. Id love to see those types of massive playsets return but I think those days are gone. Thanks for sharing.

Seen it in person, best Collection I've ever seen!

I don't feel worthy of watching this incredible video showing some things I played with as a child. This has got to be one of the finest collections on the planet. Thank YOU for making this and George for having collected everything and saving them.

Just incredible! nothing more needs to be said!

Oh....WOW!

that is an amazing collection

Absolutely amazing!

Just two words magical amazing

Awesome miss those days my best friend as had a few sets played entire weekend s

thank you for sharing the photos!

The dream of any collector. I don't know how much all those sets and figures rescued in that state have cost, but I do recognize the passion and effort of a heart dedicated to professional activity. Very good material .. Thank you for uploading this video.

Still picking up jaw on the floor!! Wow!

Thank you both for sharing! I would pay to see that live very cool!

Alot of work to maintain this hobby--Love it Thanks for the video--Thanks for sharing

I am speechless.

My favorite Christmas was 1963. I got the Civil War set, the Custer’s Last Stand set and I think it was the D-Day set.

The good old days

My childhood !

Man, I wish I could get my old civil war play set back that I got for Christmas in 1961. Best Christmas ever! 😃👍

Enjoyed it, but the camera was moving too fast for these old eyes to see some of the sets, especially at the beginning. That said, I didn’t realize how many sets Marx made. My brothers and I had a few of them. Will have to watch the video again…and again.

That was Simple Wonderful too Experience, again even in Just Your Video of so few Minutes. The Long Dormant Memories? That these Videos bring Back to Me are Priceless. Thank You so Much for Sharing 🙂😌🙂😌.

Sweet mother of god !!!!!!!!

In 1964 I wanted a Sears, Marx Fort apache that cost $20.00 at the time .Had everything imaginable.Noone seems to know about it.Better than giant fort apache set.

such an amazing collection. plus a big frankie!

Amazing

What a wonderful collection. I had several marx playsets myself including the rare Untouchables set. But alas they are all gone. Thanks for the memory's.

Great video. 👍

Was thinking of found that in my attic for my soon grandson.. a Vintage toy wonderland Then making a movie called the Toy man Since all kids today want to play video games And hands on imagination is a lost art

Great George! Great collection Wonderful display, indeed Marx was the greatest player in toys manufacturi g of any one May ha doubt about they must see this. Thanks for sharing tour collection with us. Got some ideas too Thanks!!!!

Awesome collection wow 👌

Great video Paul. I too had many of the Marx playsets and knowing what I know now, 50 years later, I'd have had more of them. From Battleground, to the Heritage Sears Civil War and Alamo sets, to Daktari-still, I didn't know there were so many others.

FAN TASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow! Amazing collection!

My gosh that's impressive

Omg there is a heaven.

Wow, just wow!!

Amazing!

what a collection !! congretulations...here from Europ Marx toys aren't so know as they are in U.S, so a pleasure to see and discovered some treasures ! thanks for sharing, take care of your collection : a witness of 20's century toys ! take care : )

Love it, a real credit to you. Subscribed.

Это самое шикарное видео по солдатикам что я видел!!!

Have That...Don't have that.. have 2 of those..and wish I had that one! HA!... Marx is my Jam

I'm so sad that Marx went out of business - we need more companies like it! Toy companies seem to have no passion for their products or customers these days! I was born in 2004 and I feel like my childhood could have been a bit cooler if I had toys like this! I didn't even know these existed back then! Marx had the best business model - simply sell the best products at the lowest prices! Which, in this case, means toys that are fun to play with, encourage growth and development, and are built to last and last, but sold at a price that nearly everyone can afford! Only cutting corners when absolutely necessary, but not over-engineering anything either. Just the right balance! Also, I think out government is partially to blame as well since all this inflation and regulation is preventing the good stuff from being made anymore!

Toy soldiers and Ogauge trains ...... it doesn't get any better !!!!!

Love Marx Warriors of the World series!

random guy: hey, i have an idea for a playse-- marx: we'll do it.

Bonjour merci pour cette vidéo ce n'est pas un musé ni une collection c'est le paradis le nirvana de l'amoureux du jouet félicitation je suis moi même collectionneur et je fais des films pour mettre en scène mes jouets d'enfance mais il faut le dire votre collection est sans pareil bravo

I love your stuff and would sell anything

How does he deal with dust on those battle displays? If I set up 2 army men on my desk, a week later a cobweb will show up. His collection is amazing. I may have blinked, but I didn't see Captain Gallant or the Flintstones (or my memory is really shot).

Two words: PLAYSET MAGAZINE! Subscribe TODAY!

Great video. Question, I have a Marx Military Tank #25 remote control toy. It works great and is like mink with box but I cannot seem to change the flashing light bulb. Any suggestions from your expertise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ray.

the coolest toys are the simplest toys.

Had the castle set but in red trim gates and ramparts not yellow and no ramp as shown.

Is this collection available to view by the public? If so, where at?

What were those toy rifles at 5:13? They really seem interesting. Outstanding collection. Thanks for reading.

great video but the music takes away from the collection....

Did he buy the old museum that was in Glendale?

Dump the music some dialog sir would be awesome

Do they have convection like this in nc.

i think marx is owned by nacelle now, aren't they?

From the museum or parts of it?

Today made Marx toys ?

Coolest house ever! Thanks for sharing. Brought back a lot of memories.
