Waching daily Jan 29 2018

Hi guys! Today we are in a very special place... The Ignacio Chavez Park in Mexico City!

For many years I've been hunting vintage toys in this flea market. But this is the first time I'll make a video!

I hope I find something good today!

I will introduce you to some of the vendors who have sold me retro toys...

Let´s see if we find something special!

Hello! Good morning.

Hi!

How are you doing?

Fine thanks!

What´s new bro?

There are a lot of new stuff!

His name is Balta. I've been buying a lot of vintage objects from him in recent years.

Do you remember those "Lone Ranger" illustrations you sold me?

Yes! They were some paintings for the covers of the comics.

Yeah... They were comic book covers and I found them here!

It was a big finding! And we made a great deal.

You can see them in one of the first Madhunter videos.

I also sold you "El Santo" vintage wrestling posters!

Of course! There is also a video where you can see all the vintage wrestling programs.

They were very old!

It was an entire collection!

Some of them were marked by the previous owner. They had notes about his memories of each fight!

Coming to the flea market is like flipping a coin...

Sometimes you get up early, you come here and find "La Chida" (Mexican slang for finding the jackpot).

But sometimes you come just to see your friends, you eat something...

You find some stuff but you will not always find the what you are looking for.

But you can always have the chance to find a treasure!

That´s right! That is the excitement of coming here.

Of course!

I always spend a lot of time talking with him because he has a lot of anecdotes about his business!

He also sells at another flea market called "La Lagunilla" since 40 years ago!

But he is also a vintage bicycle collector! I hope someday he will show us that great collection.

Sure!

I will take a look at your stuff...

Ok! That would be great Rodrigo.

Let´s see what did he brought this time.

Let´s take a look at these! I thought they were stickers, but she is telling me that they are buttons.

Yes! If you see the other side you will see the safety pin.

And they come in the original store display!

They were sold at the stationery shops or outside the schools. Right?

Yes, if you can see over here we have some stationary products.

Yeah! Let me see those Robocop stickers!

Remember these kinds of stickers?

I´ve seen you here for a long time and you have learned a lot from your father!

Yes, I´ve been here since I was 13 years old.

My father taught us all about this business...

My grandfather also used to be part of the business...

All the family is involved!

Wow! Three generations...

Yes, each one of my brothers has their own stuff.

And if I see something I like... I ask my father if I can keep it!

Or sometimes I even don´t ask him... but after he sees the object at home he complains about it. Lol

I love what you do guys because is part of the history.

They know about all kind of stuff!

Such as cameras, trays, toys...

Telephones...

Porcelain...

Watches...

Lamps...

So I think it´s beautiful because is like to study a new subject every day.

Of course! And you also start thinking the history of that object...

You have crazy stuff! Look at this telephone...

It´s made in Italy.

Wow! It´s very kitsch, I imagine this telephone in one of "Mauricio Garces" (Mexican actor) movies! Lol

The design is hilarious!

Hey! This pocket video game is awesome.

It´s from 1979, it has the original box and user guides.

Cool!

This was one of the first portable video games!

Yes! From Parker Brothers... How much is it?

I´m asking $25 USD...

How much for this one?

This is crazy! As I told you guys, the bootleg is everywhere.

How much?

$25 USD!

Here I have a bootleg of the Battlestar Galactica spacecraft.

The story with this spaceship is that one kid was choking with a launching missile from it...

And the parents sued the toy company!

Many people think that the Rocket-Firing Boba Fett was guilty of that story! But not, it was this toy.

The Rocket-FIring Boba Fett never came out to the market.

This is a vintage Mexican replica and it´s very rare.

Very cool!

This market is full of nostalgia!

We would never end looking at each object!

It's early, let's see what else can we find!

Hi Nuria! How are you doing?

Fine, thank you! Good morning.

She is another Balta´s daughters! But she specializes in video games.

Yes! But only retro video games.

If you're looking for some of the Holy Grails of video games, she constantly has some of them.

She also sells vintage consoles!

I´m starting getting into the video game world!

Yes, I know dude! I´m trying to get you those games you asked for.

She had 2 game cartridges of Snow Bros! But they sold very fast.

Those kinds of pieces even if they are rare and expensive are sold very fast!

Yes! It´s because all the hardcore collectors are looking for them.

So you have them already sold before having them! Lol

Yes, it could be said!

Today I brought these 2 rare pieces!

Yeah! The special stuff is hidden... Lol

But these are already sold!

Ohhh! Really?

This is Castlevania IV...

This is really cool. And it has the original box.

And the other one is Sunset Riders in the box.

How much are they?

I sold both for $ 350 USD.

Why did you focus to sell video games?

I don´t know how it happened.

But as my father sell antiques he always came to my house with some video games for us!

Maybe a bit of nostalgy from your childhood?

I don't know! But I started to get into this world and now I love it.

We know there are Holy Grails. But we also know that the classics are very desirable.

Such as Megaman and Super Mario Bros 3!

Indeed we have a Mega Man 3 over here!

Another desired game is Ghosts ´n Goblins this one is a very good shape.

I have both "Contra" cartridges.

I love them!

Over there we have Metal Gear I and II!

Tell us your prices! For example, how much does Mega Man 3 cost?

I´m asking $25 USD for it.

Ok! That is a good price.

Contra?

Contra is $21 USD and Super Contra is $18 USD.

Great!

Cool! It is the one that had a remote control base.

Yes, the control is missing...

It's very nice... It´s a jumbo figure!

The best part is that is the Mexican version! It was made by Macplay.

I think $25 USD is a good price for it!

Is common to find it without these 2 parts, at least this one has one of them...

The wings are missing but it still a great piece!

"Sobritas" (like lefties, as a joke they changed 1 letter). In Mexico "Sabritas" is the brand for "Lays".

How much are you asking for this vintage "Halls"?

I´m asking $1.50 USD!

Wow! They are amazing.

How much do the "Bubble Yum" cost?

Those are $3 USD each.

All of them are from 1981 to 1984.

Do you think I will die if I eat them?

He's asking $5 USD for this one...

That is a Saint Seiya figure!

Cool!

It´s a gun!

How much does it cost?

I´m asking $5 USD.

These are so bizarre! Erotic glasses...

I love these situations when you are looking for toys and you get in love with something else!

Look at this Dino-Rider!

How much is the Dino-Rider bootleg?

It is $10 USD.

This is a bootleg. It's very cool that is has the original eyes!

Yes, it´s from the 80´s such as this E. T.

Look at its eyes. Is made of blown plastic and it´s beautiful.

How much does it cost?

That one is $20 USD.

Alright!

He is George! I´ve been buying many bootleg figures from him in recent years.

For how long have we been doing business?

The time goes so fast! It has been almost 10 years.

How much are you asking for this?

I´m asking $20 USD.

It comes with the original antenna!

Yes. And it transforms!

Great!

How much are you asking for this mold?

It´s the same price! $20 USD.

It´s a mold for soldier figures.

It´s a vintage piece!

Sure!

They were very expensive in the past!

Yes! That is true.

He always brings different kind of vintage and new stuff such as cars, figures, etc...

Ok, whats your best price on this?

I will take $22 USD!

These are the toy catalogs that came in Reader's Digest magazines in Mexico!

Advertising some great toys of those times!

The Elastic Man, some of the characters from the 30th Century series...

The picture on the left is very important because is one of the few with real Lili Ledy figures!

US companies used to send pictures for their advertisements...

As we can see in this picture the badge has an "A" and a "T" which means Adventure Team...

If it were a Mexican photo, it should have a double "A", since they were called "Aventureros de Accion".

How much are they?

$13 USD for each one...

They are killing me with those prices dude!

They are on fire!

Will you take $16 USD for the green car?

Nooo, sorry I cant´do that!

That´s the best I can do bro!

Great!

What did you bring for us!

The hunt has been low, but we have some things.

These are cool! From the first Power Rangers that they made.

We have some parts to complete different series such as Mask, Thundercats, and many others...

This vehicle is one of my favorites from Mask!

The "Magicuentos"! (Mexican comics with famous characters)

Recently some follower posted that they cherish these awesome comics from our childhood!

There is the Star Wars "Magicuento" which is a Holy Grail!

Yes! And Superman is the other Holy Grail.

Do you have it over here?

No!

I like this one a lot because they seem like...

Shogun Warriors!

Yes! Like Grendizer!

For those who don't know them, they are like comics in 2 pages...

They are scenarios and has another page that has stickers...

That you paste in the scenario when you pass a pencil over them...

Do you remember where they were sold?

They were sold on the newsstands!

You are saying that the hunt was low, but you have one of the Holy Mexican Grails here!

The jumbo Rockbiter vinyl figure!

Great! I think I will take it...

Did you put the label on it?

No, I found it like that!

I had another piece like that one... But I sold it a few minutes ago.

The same character?!

Yes!

Ok, I will take this one...

Thank you very much!

I am very excited and surprised to have found a Gentle Giant Star Wars test-shot in the flea market.

How much does the wolf costs?

It costs $245 USD, but its a coyote, not a wolf. Lol

Oh, Wow!

Many people think it is a wolf...

Is not the "Coyote Cojo de las Nalgas Pintas"? (Mexican gudgeon)

How much is it?

$80 USD.

Do I look like a tourist? Lol

It has the vehicle that goes inside.

The baby spaceship! Lol

Yes, it´s its toy.

It´s beautiful, thank you!

The amazing thing about these flea markets is that you can find different types of objects.

This is one of my favorite markets. Some people say that it is very expensive...

But if you see the quality and the fact that things have gone through a filter, you will think differently about it.

This is the "Mini-Cine of Marinelandia" (Mexican sticker album given as toy premium)

Is one of the hardest album to find! It´s missing only one sticker...

Yes, it is number 14.

They are flicker stickers which make characters move.

How much is it?

$160 USD!

Ok!

It has the Green Hornet here!

It´s funny because it has some famous characters mixed with some other unknown characters.

We met 2 followers of the channel while we were hunting!

This lady says that she loves the hunting episodes!

Do you collect something?

Yes! I collect Playmobile.

Thanks for watching the channel!

How much is this album?

$32 USD...

This a wrestling vintage album!

You had to cut these stickers from the "Super Luchas" magazine.

Tortuguillo Karateca II (wrestler)...

Fray Tormenta (wrestler), the Julius´favorite one the Pimpinela Escartlata (wrestler)...

Or the Arquero I (wrestler)...

Yes, either or both!

Did you use that costume for Halloween?

Of course!

I love this mask! It´s the Supremo II (wrestler).

Ok, guys, the hunt is over for today.

I'll stay here eating grasshoppers!

For those who aren´t from Mexico. Yes, we eat grasshoppers!

What do people say about the taste?

They say they taste like "Charales" (little fish).

They taste salty and a bit lemony!

And they have a lot of protein.

The hunt is over here, remember this is the Ignacio Chávez Park!

We found some good pieces and I introduced you to some of my favorite sellers!

Don´t hesitate about coming, this flea market opens every Saturday and Sunday from 9 am to 3 pm.

Always with new findings for us!
