STRUCK GOLD! Unboxing 8 "Toys "R" Us" Comic Book Sets for the FIRST TIME! 

!@#$% cool man! Congrats on the Doomsday! I bought tons of those sets back in the day too. There were Marvel ones also. I do remember having a DC Universe logo Nightwing #2 but............I.......(ahem)......sold all my....um....DC books a long time ago 😓

Thats how I collected comics in the early 90's. Walmart and Toys R Us comic packs.

It's funny because I remember when I was younger I would always wanted to buy my comics at a comic shop, not Toys R' Us. Now, I'm regretting it! Great to see you score some amazing DC Universe Logo variants. Thank you for sharing and opening them up live with us!

Brings back so many memories seeing these

The excitement in your voice!!!!

I'm just old enough to hardly remember Toys R Us. So I'm not even sure what to be more impressed by. Those comics or the fact you could buy comics at Toys R Us 🤣

This was the unboxing of ALL unboxing! Cool!

That Man of Steel #18 Fifth printing was CLUTCH!!! NICE!

GLAD TO SEE YOU HAVE GREAT ENJOYMENT OF THE BOOKS AND THE HISTORY A TRUE PANOILIGEST

Since these are not market timing dependent right now, go with CGC for the grading. If these were spec books that are hot right now. I would go with CBCS since they are faster.

I love finding comic packs like this. Last one I found was a Batman Adventures pack. All had DC Universe logos on them, but they were a little banged up. But it came with a really rad poster and notepad.

Collecting is like art; beautiful in the eye of the beholder. Although I have no interest in the variants, I congratulate you on your purchases. It’s worth every penny if they make you happy. Good collecting!

Funny story of how I got into hunting dcu logos was at an antique mall had a sale and a booth had this really nice section of comics, I found a nightwing #2 I dig the cover and the logo looked super cool but didn't want to pay $6. When I got home I did research and the book is worth over $120 but the pandemic hit when I had the chance to go back and it was gone when things were reopened

Awesome third print of #11!! I thought it looked different!

DC books from this era are my jam. Thanks for putting out this content. Much appreciated sir.

Wow - what a haul! Well done!

I am glad Im not the only one to have some jacked up comics from my childhood. I was only able to keep my Spiderman 1-5 Walmart exclusive unopened.

Awesome video!! I have been hunting and singing the praises of the dcu toys r us books for YEARS!! I have a TON of great first appearance keys that came from these sets. The man of steel 18 5th print and the GL books specifically are golden finds if you can find them.

I’m a collector and for years did not come across any of the DC Universe logo variants. Help out a friend who sells comics and he picked up a collection just a few weeks back and going thru the collection again started finding copies with the DC Universe logo. No second or third printings but just was thrilled to add some to my collection. Have a feeling I just became a hunter of these variants. Nice video... 👍

My dad used to buy me dc universe packs from Costco. I picked them up personally off the shelves so I know 100% they weren’t just toys r us. All around the time of death of Superman

you had a good start with this one but now the time to go and find more sealed set out in the wild

Love those death of superman issues

Best way to start a morning

I have the Flash Terminal Velocity pack. Thanks for another fun filled video!

Wow that was awesome to watch!

Outstanding fifth print!

Your doing an excellent job!! Keep up the great work!

Man this is the best comic book channel! Quality books and premier brands #1.

I agree! Batman 509 is a great book!

Old DC issues have such a nice aesthetic

i rememeber these, i miss caldors so much (im from CT) and it was big in my area.... great video.....

I am so excited for you. and showing your happinesses with you

I don't remember getting these as a kid, but I did find out that I had the Man of Steel 18 DC variant not to long ago. I was pleasantly surprised on the value of that book. Good video man, keep em' coming!

Old video I know, but I just found a batch of these DCU logo books (not the sealed packages) at Half Price Books in some of their grab bags. It's inspiring me to go hunting for more!

The breaking of the batman ,death of superman and first aperens of doomsday are 3 good DC keys are so so so undervauled!!!! The breaking of tha batman especially it is one of my favourite batman keys. Good luck Sith the submission.

Super fun video! Nice stuff!

I just took the plunge and cracked open my dark horse toys r us comic pack. Heir to the Empire #1 newsstand inside. minty. W00t! There's gold in dem der multipacks sometimes.

Your reaction to the corners on the comics in the Batman pack was my exact reaction when, after not having looked at my pristine Incredible Hulk 340 for 11 years, saw what looked like a discoloration on the cover. So I it pulled out of the bag for a closer look and discovered a well-disguised mangled corner.

Oh dude! Can't wait to see those graded!

Those collector sets look awesome, I didn't even know they existed.

With such high grades I would go with CGC over CBCS. Great find!

Great collection keep well

Great vid...been hunting these for years. Just wish CGC would designate the slabs with the logo vari.

I found a stack of NM Green Lantern DC logo variants when I was dumpster diving in a 50cent been, including 3 copies of the issue where dudes gf gets stuffed in a fridge

I liked CGC the best; thanks for opening these and showing us what is inside

I see your at a comic shop. Mom gives you 5 bucks and a slurpee. You see all the comics you showed but on the racks. The comic dealer some gotee late 90s hippie. You buy your books and cast yourself on hero worship at it's best. By opening those old toys r us comics you just felt that old nostalgia right over again. Kind of like peeking at good ol childhood memories for a sec huh?😎

I never knew about the rare DC Universe logo. That’s awesome. Anxious to see what grades you get on these books.

Thanks James badass video!! 🔥

Batman Contagion is a good series from the 90's!!!

This is so cool. I know it's impossible to find but i'm going to search. Thanks for the info.

PLEEEASE give us a video whenever these come back graded, I need to see that Man of Steel 18 with a 9.8

Dc universe logos will only be on books that were printed in 1993 and later. Even if you have a book originally released earlier than 93, the printing of it was probably done in 93 (like man of steel 18). Some marvel comics are like that too (hulk 377 3rd print is a good example) where the actual book was released in 91 or 92 but the print version (3rd, 4th or whatever) came later like 93 or 94. Hulk 377 3rd print has a wwf raw video game ad on back which shows the 1994 copyright date showing that they printed the books in 94. There are other books like that like the ultra rare superboy 9 or the flash 92 dc universe logo variants. Both have different back covers than their original run 1st print predecessors.

Nice video review and i do agree nothing better than a personal grail comicbook to have and own. Cool.

Wow! That's awesome! I really hope you do a follow-up video to let us know what grades these got.

recently found a flash #96 with a dc universe logo in a charity store for 99p. Unfortunately i dont collect the flash but its super cool to find in the wild so ill likely sell it. Awesome video mate

That’s so cool I want one!! Also your almost there to 5k!!!🥳

Amazing, knowing which print edition just by knowledge and memory. Recently subscribed and learning so many things long the way, watching back to back videos of your channel I think close to 10 now. Shall keep watching more! Shout out from Singapore.

Great video as always.

This was so fun to watch and now I know exactly where these DC logos come from. I found a rare first appearance of the female Bloodsport Action Comics DC logo variant in the dollar bins.

Great content man, keep it coming!

That's crazy, honestly I never really thought about the DC logo or really any logo in fact on comics. That's actually pretty cool.

Awesome and interesting...

Dude this was a joy to watch, congrats on this awesome haul! I love these books, idk why but I especially like those Flash covers. There’s some cool GL ones as well. Again congrats!

You look like a kid in a candy store!!! Great find bro!!!

Can’t wait to see the grades when you get them back!

WOW that's amazing

Some awesome books! Man some of those covers are just beautiful!

Congratulations. Great video.

The reason why later prints are worth more is because they most likely printed less and less, and obviously up until the last decade no one would’ve cared about these later prints (unless somehow they were so incredibly in touch with comics that they know about everything)

Man you definitely got some great books! Would love to see a video on those books after you get them pressed and graded!

1990-2000 is a blur i went to TRU for hotwheels never even knew about comics nice pickups

I want to thank you for this video. I thoroughly enjoyed it and began hunting for DC logo variants. During my hunt for these comics online, I came across an original comic book art page for sale - Flash drawn by Mike Wieringo. Because of you and your channel, I purchased the page and am forever grateful to you. I’d share what the page is but not sure how to do that on this platform as this is my first comment ever on RU-vid.

Very cool video. Grats man.

I found them at Kmart back in the day. Posting early in the video, so don't know if you found any, but I had some that had the DCU logo on a sticker placed over the barcode. Think they were Superman

I can’t wait to see these come Back. I really want these knight fall and contagion ones.

Wow you really scored with these

Yo that was awesome!

i think my gramps had some of these. he was a big collector and had some major keys like carnage and such, sadly he never got to see this generation of comics

Cool shirt too!

Great video

As a Superman collector, I'm officially jealous

Are you planning to make further character story/history centered vids? Loved the Swamp Thing vid.

CBCS > CGC - The slabs are just nicer, sturdier, no newton rings, fewer errors, cheaper, thinner (fit more in a box that way), etc... Just a better product at the moment. I know some people don't like the label, but that's partly due to this notion that a white box for the grade is necessary (it's not), and also because CBCS designed their label so as to not draw attention from the book. On the resale thing, if people stopped selling CBCS for less than CGC, then that would basically be a non-issue

Wowzers!

I'm happy for you that you hit some Comic book gold. I think the reason the second and 3rd printings and 5th printings etc. Get more value is because there's just less of them around. It's very true what you're saying about the printing press today Some of the older books have higher quality a paper and don't have as many spine ticks that I notice. It's Messed up that we pay more for comic books today and have lower quality then we did back in the day. Enjoy your content as always keep up the great work.

Where did you end up finding them? As a comic collector buying comics at Toys R Us was a no go, but now they are probably worth more than the comics I bought at a comic book store.

Nice video for sure but you do know that only the Death of Superman pack is the only Toys ‘R’ Us one. The rest are from Caldor. When I started watching the video I said to myself I don’t remember seeing all those packs at TRU. I mean I worked there from 1986 until it closed in 2018, so l’m sure I would have remembered them. I mostly remember is selling 25 and 50 pack random comics and very few set reprints. But still some good stuff in there my friend.

Hey Mint, when you get the Green Lantern pack keep an eye out for Green Lantern #51 DCU Logo 2nd print. One of the rarest DCU Logo variants!

I have X-men 1-4, including the deluxe wrap-around cover, in the plastic blister pack from Toy R' Us. I never bought these DC sets though...

Nice!

Congrats on the Doomsday. That's awesome. Contagion is a great story. I own the trade. Great show. 😁

Not a huge DC fan but loved this unboxing James, good luck with those grades 🤞🔥🔥🔥

Send em to CBCS! Great video dude

There's a setting in your camera app when turned on will automatically correct your camera to mirror the image the right way.

That was fun too watch, great video as always. By the way were do you get the bags and boards at?

Love this video. I remember buying comic packs at tru and walmart. At walmart, I got the spawn pack that came with both spawn/batman team ups. Also got spiderman/batman team up but I forgot what other books came in the pack. At toys r us, I remember get the wolverine pack which came with #88 89 90 and 100...then there was an xmen pack that came with #25 hologram aka magneto pulls wolverines adamantium out of his body. Congrats on the 5th print doomsday!

I got some of those unopened. Superman,batman,green lantern...I got loose comics with those logos.

i had no idea there was a toys r us comic bundle

I. Remember. Getting. Marvel. Box. Sets. With. West. Coast. Avengers , Avengers. And. Amazing. Spider-Man. From. Toysrus. In. The. 1990s.

Super rad 👍
