TOY HUNTING with Pixel Dan at Retro Madness (Arlington, TX) 

Yo - Let's talk about those Dino Riders, since I'm getting so many messages. I *know* that the same molds were used for the Smithsonian line of dinos, and even for the Cadillacs and Dinosaurs line. I know for the Smithsonian versions, they removed the battery compartments and smoothed over them with plastic. The Stego I found in this video still has the batter compartment. It also seems to match the colors of the Dino Riders version. There's some good sources online showing color comparisons between the types. But either way, they are great dinos. I appreciate all of the comments!

That truck that everyone was debating about was a GoBot. it was the time when the competition began.

Some tasty jams playing in there:)

Thats "The Cure" in the soundtrack! Cool!!!!

Like the Luther Vandross “Never too much” @5:50

You should ask the owners a few questions so they introduce their store and some of the history behind it next time. it would be fun to know more.

A retro toy shop where you can drink beer while you walk around? Sign me the hell up immediately!

Big thumbs up to the owners for playing The Cure’s “A Forest” at the 14 minute mark.

I'll see about adding this to me and my buddy's annual road trip to MidSouthCon--we spend a night in DFW traditionally.

I'm the one who sold the battle trolls to retro! Ps I love that Craig is creeping in the background hahaha

I would be so broke at the end the day visiting a store like this

That green ghost accessory came from the Kenner real ghostbusters “power pack heroes” line... he was included with Winston

Man we had such a blast that day! I wonder if he would have noticed if you would have switched the price tags from your dino riders to the Dungeons and Dragons playset 🤣🤣🤣

I still have that Inspector Gadget!! :D

This store is amazing! Been there multiple times since they've opened and always come out with something I didn't expect.

9:48 that trendmasters ultimate Godzilla caught me off guard, looks like am heading to Texas.

Always good to see a new Pixel Dan vid show up on the feed. Have a sweet weekend Dan!!!

My favorite type of vids are these toy huntings! They're always so exciting, I feel like I'm there in the store lol Wish I could grab some of the stuff for myself :)

Oh God. I had the turtle copter as a kid. I loved it. I WISH I would have known about the blimp as a kid. Because the blimp is AMAZING. Especially the second version (repainted to match the tv series) As y'all are probably aware the blimps do not hold air very well anymore. One I got off Ebay I'd have to refill every like 36 hours

My Fiance has still has his childhood Fortress of Fangs complete....I didn't realize it was worth that much, he told me it was.....but I wasn't sure if he was pulling my leg. It has a coveted spot in his toy collection display.

my nerdy self hearing THE CURE - A Forest, then DISINTEGRATION. in the background have to rewind to listen to them talk cause i was distracted by the music XD DISINTEGRATION is the greatest album ever!

I hear “a forest” by the cure!! 14:16

I hope Christina has her days where she shops with Dan following her with a camera! :D That store looks great!

I had no idea about this place. I swung by today and I bought that AD&D Carrion crawler and some other stuff!

A great video once again Pixel Dan. I always enjoy these toy haul videos. Thanks as always!

Just wanted to say it was awesome hanging out with you at retro madness and thanks for the Motu information!

Awesome hunt! The rocksteady saga continues :'D cool to see you and ok chief hanging with NARC

I can't stop watching these hunts!!

YES! Another toy hunt video! I love these! Thanks for sharing. Some cool stuff. I miss having that Eye Guy as a kid! I hope that Hasbro gives us a new one!

I loved Dino Riders as a kid!

Awesome looking store, great video, and excellent camera work! #TeamStina

Dang I was really hoping the Pixel Dan and NARC feud would come to a boil at the next Retropalooza! ;D

Buying and posing figs is what we do. Hell yeah 😎👌👍

That little inflatable Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Michael Angelo figure thingy, I'd like to know more about that...👌🏼💯✔

Great video! Nice, chilled owners!

I didn’t even notice that Man-at-arms!! Nice grab! Amazing time, glad you got to come down.

Been loving these videos! Writing down places to visit when/if I’m out in those areas. I’m always surprised to never see Starriors in any of these places in your videos! :D

Love these toy hunting videos 🎥

6:57 Street Sharks!! I keep looking for them out in the wild...

Amazing store!!

Wow!!! Dallas my hometown!! I can’t believe you were here dude!! Big fan hope to meet you in October man! #cowabunga 🤘🏽😎

I used to have that turtle copter. That was such a fun vehicle.

that green ghost you were you right about it being ghost busters related but from a quick google search it seems like it was from the real ghost busters and col.pict might stand for Columbia pictures, well that’s what I read

I had the red bronco transformer-ish toy. The pulley in the front was motorized thus needing batteries. Didn’t know it was part of the go-bots though,

Man, this place looks like heaven on earth!

Super cool find

The Retro Madness I went to has a different look. Maybe I went to an additional location or older one? Either way I enjoyed my trip and it will be discussed in an upcoming video. Thanks for the invite Steve. Great video you guys, so many more items I would love to pick up again. Gonna have to visit this location now.

Again a fun and inspiring video👍👍👍

Awesome!!!!!got off work early 👍🏼time for some pixel Dan😎🤘🏼

awesome video as always

If you make your way back there’s another location north of where you were. Just as cool. Also really cool seeing friends of mine in the background. Anyway, thanks for sharing man.

Not Another Retro Channel is sooo cool awesome channel with content

That little inflatable Michelangelo has my name on it. That would look great in my gameroom 😍

That stego is one of the best dinos in the line.

Pixel Dan!!! love your videos!!! Fantastic makes me wanna keep going with my Channel:) Thanks for doing what you do!!

Love their camaraderie

Awsome Toy Hunter bro

Finally! the Redemption Arc for Narc

Side note. Ask Toy Galaxy he’ll know that Bandai car hahaha

The inspector gadget toy, though! Lol. I collected all the pieces, including the hat and one arm that my cousin gave to me. She's right, individually the pieces were about as fun as drying paint lol, but fully assembled it was cool

The truck is Winch Robo. It is a Toyota HiLux. I think it was sold as a Gobot in the US.

Someday you have to make it to Dallas vintage toys. It’s the king of the ring!

Hey Dan I use the Fortress Fang for the vintage snake men figures it looks awesome

narc, you got me saying doll hairs now! lol

lov your videos Dan

"I do love...The Eyeball Guy..." Wasn't his name literally Eye Guy? Had that fig as a kid.

Good thing that i live in Texas and i live near Arlington

Those may or may not be Dino Riders items. There was also Tyco's Smithsonian collection that reused Dino Rider molds without all the sci-fi stuff. And Tyco's Cadillacs and Dinosaurs line resued a few dinos, too.

Wow, so much nostalgia! Seeing two of my four dream toys in one location makes me so happy and so jealous at the same time, haha! I'd absolutely love to own the Castle of Lions and the USS Flagg again. My brother had both when I was a kid but we were dumb and we ended up breaking and losing most of the parts to them (and in a few cases, our dog chewed them) so my parents threw them both away. Always wanted them again but they're so pricey. Terror Drome is another of my dream toys that I would absolutely love to own, even though I never had that one as a kid. Also Eyeball guy was one of the best Power Rangers figures. I still have him somewhere in a storage building. We got infinite amusement with his firing eyeball nipples back int he day. I also have that McDonald's Inspector Gadget somewhere. I remember trying so hard to complete that toy. I had all of the pieces except the chest piece, which I believe was electronic. I would scour bins full of McDonald's toys at flea markets and always find the pieces I already had. Several years later I had eventually given up and stopped caring and wouldn't you know it, I found the missing piece then. Didn't even buy it.

I collected all the inspector gadget toys. I still have it, I ate a lot of happy meals.

$2 for the Dino Riders?? There's a toy store in Blue Mountains carrying the same thing for a fortune. What a steal.

Jar Jar riding a G.I. Joe RAM motorcycle. Surreal

Great toy hunting

I gotta get to Texas!

nice video. yeah that green splitting ghost is ghostbusters. It's still one the few I have left and he came with that odd Winston who's weapon turned into a mono-wheel . damn that Ljn Fortress of Fangs is sweet. just curious was that USS Flag a display item or actually for sale ?

Dino Riders!

I get a bit jealous every time I see you Toy hunting be it in stores or in cons because in Portugal we don't have that. At the same time I'm glad you enjoy yourself with your friends Toy hunting and I hope I get to do it in the future.

Dan begins Trolling us @2:54 Believe it or not I've seen the D&D at a flea market once for $30(and like an idiot didn't buy it, don't ask) Savage Mondo Blitzers are awesome! I have a ton of them in my collection, they're just so fun to collect! Great video Dan!

Well of course the Gadget toys were disappointing. That's why you would keep bugging your parents to keep taking you to McDonalds to complete the set!

not sure if anyone has answered this or not but that toy is from the robo machine line of toys (short lived transformers cash in line) i think there was a helicopter or maybe an airplane in the line too. might have been a part of the gobots line cant remember that part but i dont think its part of the main line if it was sold as a gobot.

Wow they serve beer?!?!

I go their that exact location at least once a month to confirm theirs a Cici’s, chapps burgers and Albertsons near by right?

Fortress of fangs missing some cool things yet it is great for what it does have. I sold two of them back in 2001 on eBay along with over 20 figures from D&D and other fantasy figures including Crystar that needed a great set with swords and such,

at 10:13 what is the fish-monster on the shelf behind dan, is that Pirahntis-head (probably spelled that wrong), sure looks like Kraa the sea monster though (for those...5 people who remember him and Zarkorr the invader)

Hey Pixel Dan, did u manage to visit other toy stores in the DFW area like Dallas Vintage Toys and DFW Toy Stash?

When does mattel start preorders on the new he man line??

Please show Star Wars figures some love, even if it’s just a glance over! Much love, dig the videos!

I noticed the same thing since your Battle Trolls video, and I’m out here in Canada! Just sayin’!

whaha omg .. i always thought you would bring a friend to film or something.. but then i saw Stina in the window filming and i was like.. Whaaaat XD Omg .. it was Stina al along? :P never had realized that. She does an amazing job filming btw :) ^_^ I wish i could join you some day for a toyhunt.. that would be so cool ! :D

If you can call "free" the 267K subscribers exposition the store is having thanks to you... hehe.

Pixel are you doing rhe NY TOY FAIR 2020 ??

Hey you should come to Houston TX to comicpalooza. It’s May 22-24. Lots of good stuff.

l need that Don Standee to Finish my set. SUPER COOL Store 4 Sure

Hey Dan...off the subject kinda but did you catch the new origins scareglow pictures?? Is it real? Looks outrageous.

Hello Dan, I hope you don't mind a quick question regarding the HE-MAN / DEMOLITION MAN toys (hard to find in the UK!) ; Kick-Fighting Spartan has Nocturna's action feature, but the Cryo-Tech does NOT have Flip-Shot's action feature. So... Does Battle Baton Spartan have He-Man's action feature, the twisting waist? Thanks!

Pixel Dan do you think super 7 will give us thundercats playsets like Mattel did for MOTU classics?

Omg i had that castle

That lady at 11:51 was not havin' it.

I have a lot of 80’s 90s marvel, ninja turtles, heman, thundercats, wcw, wwf figures. Where’s the best place to sell and get values for them?

You’re in Texas?? Come to San Antonio!
