I've always wanted one. One of my friends had it opened up at the bottom of their closet with all the joes stationed. We spent more time playing Megaman 3 that day, than playing with joes. But It was impressive.
I've always wanted a Defiant, but man it's such a space hog (no pun intended). I sold one in an eBay store I worked at. It's one of the coolest toys ever. It's easy to forget just how huge it is!
I love the old commercials. It keeps me watching. I remember the Batmobile commercial and I remember playing with one just can't remember who had it. Is this a personal collection? Or did this guy have his own store and liquidating?
Man. I'm gonna have to road trip from Texas to come visit ya'll. Just need to save up about $10k to spend on the Joe's you have to boost my collection. 🤣🤣
Wow! That Defiant and box is humongous 😱 hope it made it to the shop safely🙏🏽I was hoping u grabbbed that Karate Kid training Playset 😅another great video Ryan 🔥🙌🏽
Time 14:07 that batmobile was handmade, there were a few made like 300 in the world. A creator who made barbie vehicles if I'm not mistaken made them couldn't get the rights but still made them for those hard-core collectors. I believe the maker passed away years ago. I met a friend of his. In a toy show in Manchester. I'll be posting video soon of that particular batmobile. Small world lol
Being that I am a "loose" collector....I can understand why someone would want a box. But I don't understand buying beater boxes. It stands rk reason that a solid figure/playset looks better on its one instead of being displayed in a beater box
The G.I. Joe Defiant is awesome! It's great that you got one with a box! And that box is huge! I see that Rolling Thunder box. I have most of it, but I'm missing the big cannon itself. I've heard the middle portion, with the cannon and its accessories are often missing.
Dallas toy store, or what ever it’s called, they have a defiant with a shit box in comparison to this one, and they’re asking 4K. 2k is a heck of a deal for a defiant and box.
Be nice to see Hasbro redo the Defiant.That box is huge.When did the defiant come out in 1987.I dont recall seeing that when i worked at TRU in 85 and 86.
@@toyfederation Absolutely. Not in any negative way, but he just rolls in and the next thing you know he's helping the guy sell stuff, just so he can get further into the truck to see what else he's got. I think it's great. Was waiting for him to start up with an auctioneer voice... Do I hear $1000... ? I could see myself trying to go through the guys truck too... The childhood excitement, like when your buddy got a new set and everyone came over with their Joe's to check it out! On a side note: did they ever put the G.I. Joe DIC series on DVD or anything digital?
@@ydoIhavetohaveachann I've seen the original series on DVD, but have not seen the rest of the series on DVD. Last I checked the DIC series wasn't available, I'll have to go looking again, thanks!
I have Defiant’s shuttle and booster rocket/orbiter. Unfortunately my crawler needs doors and they are not easy to find! I also have Crusader and a third shuttle that is a hybrid of the two! And… I have a Defiant box. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the 20 Flag Points.
Unpopular opinion. WOw! That scene was specifically designed to sell that giant toy! Im fascinated by this toy because it's such a big, obnoxious hunk of UGLY! Pure nostalgia buy for sure. what a monstrosity in design! Doesn't even look right in the cartoon!
didnt realize how big the box was jesus imagine finding that under the xmas tree as a kid,its weird they see no value in modern joes they are going for stupid high prices online already,and prices arent going to go down
I am looking for some defiant parts, I notice you bought 3 defiant's out of a truck. Do you have the shuttle canopy by chance. Thanks Chris G San Diego, Ca
I remember when I got the Crusader as a child ❤ Still have it somewhere...it's definitely beat up cause I was playing with those toys HARD. I found a couple of my old Army Ants recently! Wish they had their weapons. Who remembers Army Ants??
This is my favourite part of Saturdays, waking up and seeing a new video :) Do you have a way of contacting the store, I'm looking for a last piece to finish my collection, and I'm hoping that you guys might have it.
My older Brother and I had three big shoeboxes full of joe parts and accessories from the 80s and early 90s and my mom just threw the boxes away a couple months ago when she was going through her garage and when she told me a few weeks after throwing them away i was upset but its not like its the end of the world or something but it would have been nice to at least looking through the boxes
Fun to see a guy on ebay selling one in a box for $40,000 while another guy has the same thing for $8000 with no bids. As a matter of fact, no Defiant toys have a single bid.
