what's that piranhas with a bit nose
0:03
holder protruding off the end of your
0:05
face with your sharp teeth you like the
0:08
fact that I've only been using one
0:10
creamer that's pretty gentle I had
0:24
already inserted it down in the bottom
0:26
of the mug blew that steam is fogging
0:32
everything up let's try something a
0:41
little different today you're going head
0:44
first buddy I'm gonna hold hold you back
0:48
here by the sports section and stir you
0:54
accordingly
0:55
welcome everyone a Adam uh woo here
1:04
wearing an appropriate t-shirt for this
1:08
episode I have always enjoyed Star Wars
1:12
most likely most specifically and more
1:15
technically if you really want to get
1:18
into it the original trilogy and I have
1:21
quite a conglomeration a collection of
1:25
vintage goodness and I would like to
1:27
show it to you some are in boxes that I
1:32
have not unpacked since my move from
1:33
Hollywood last year and I still need to
1:36
put them away here in my Orange County
1:39
California home and that's what I'm
1:41
gonna do before I show them so you can
1:46
see them with your own eyes
1:49
I'm inviting you to join I have the
1:52
coffee perched right here on my lap not
1:58
probably not the wisest thing this thing
2:01
is toasting Lee scalding if it's spilled
2:12
not good
2:12
not good I'll shake your head not shake
2:15
your head this way not good I'm inviting
2:21
you to join me shall you one more choose
3:05
as a party for what I'm used to I have
3:11
been hitting those pretty hard I'm
3:13
getting a little bit better a little bit
3:15
stronger but my form is still way off I
3:19
think tomorrow I'm going to take a
3:20
little bit of break from those exercises
3:23
it's a lot kind of the muscles heal up
3:25
and then following that start back at
3:28
just doing 10 take take the number down
3:31
and work more on the form trying to go
3:34
all the way to the floor keep the arms
3:36
in a little bit and go from that method
3:39
it's a good idea quite an array of
3:42
characters here you got 3p oh they're on
3:46
the far left keeping as noggin warm he's
3:50
got that cap on that cosy cap and
3:55
there's Jabba the Hutt stuffed edition
4:00
just chilling the top of the shelving
4:03
unit and he's holding a thermal well you
4:09
can normally you're drinking that except
4:13
there's no beverage on it a little
4:15
galaxy's edge item as well as this spork
4:19
this is not the tropical hideaway coffee
4:22
stirring
4:25
spork couple years ago a comic-con I
4:32
picked up these pens got chewy and solo
4:36
and they're pretty decent size in
4:39
comparison to normal pens and I'm now
4:42
realizing that might not be attending
4:46
any of the Disney parks for May the 4th
4:51
I was really looking forward to stepping
4:53
back into Star Wars land for the first
4:55
time would have been the first time that
4:58
galaxy's edge would have been opened for
5:02
that first historic occasion but we'll
5:05
have to wait till next year unless
5:08
something very fantastic happens so I'm
5:11
not holding my breath
5:27
kind of pales size-wise in comparison to
5:27
salacious here a little mechanism
5:29
attached to them you can turn the head
5:32
and you can even open the mouth love
5:43
this thing not very good at imitating
5:49
his care that's tried the basketball but
6:03
still not good before I forget back into
6:05
the living room now the main shelf
6:06
really does not have a lot pertaining to
6:08
the subject matter I got this at the
6:10
Fairfax flea market and West Hollywood a
6:14
couple years ago had it delivered and I
6:17
love it it is tall and very heavy-duty
6:20
but a nice tie-in is this old-school
6:26
Star Tours ride vehicle there's our 2 up
6:30
top
6:31
this is what it looked like back in the
6:33
day and if you press a little button on
6:35
the back the doors flip open and there
6:39
might be a old school familiar face at
6:45
the helm Rex
6:50
prior to his DJing years see him in
6:58
there the really good stuff is in this
7:01
box right here this is the good stuff
7:16
trust me and in this one this might be a
7:16
little easier to figure out yeah this
7:20
spoiler alert it's what's portrayed on
7:24
the top of the outside of this box as to
7:28
what's inside and other things but
7:31
that's what's in there at least as far
7:34
as I can remember action figures sold
7:37
separately that's alright I have a lot
7:39
of action figures to Don might even be
7:44
right in there and here's the artistic
7:48
rendering robhinhood
7:53
I don't know how many would get that
7:57
hold on a moment
7:58
someone's passing through
8:10
okay see it start to realize I have a
8:10
lot of different containers things
8:13
packed up I found Threepio down in here
8:17
this is not a retro figure nor is this
8:20
one but I found this very fascinating
8:23
because he's wearing the shades that I
8:26
used to that I used to sport that's what
8:31
happened to him some sweet sunglasses I
8:45
managed to somehow hang on to these hey
8:45
Kara this is like uh Tasha's probably
8:50
from the late 70s you can see a little
8:53
bit of the wear and tear on it it's like
8:56
a promotional photo and the poster
8:59
monthlies from empire tattered and torn
9:04
let me expand them out this one has a
9:07
giant poster inside issue one and this
9:14
is issue 5 not only was he a hero but he
9:18
was also a scoundrel it's back portion
9:22
it's almost like a puzzle so so old that
9:26
it's to kind of put the pieces together
9:28
and it makes up this probe droid man
9:36
that's awesome
9:38
it's falling apart that is freaking
9:41
awesome I do love those troopers those
9:44
versions of the troopers another one of
9:47
my favorites are the snow versions
9:50
something about their helmets some
9:53
articles as well the secret art of
9:55
stop-motion look down here there's one
9:59
of the Masters at work date stamp on
10:02
this 1980 the city of clouds and wait
10:09
for it
10:11
Shanker Kunka Kunka count that classic
10:16
gotta go go go go go don't tear don't
10:24
tear be gentle yes yes look at that
10:32
Wow
10:34
you see these a lot on the front of
10:36
people's windshields do not put this on
10:40
the front of your windshield won't last
10:43
won't last very long you don't talk
10:46
about right that they put on the inside
10:49
of the windshield this this photograph
10:52
is placed on one of those sunscreen
10:54
items to keep your steering wheel and
10:56
dashboard cool it's kind of a bummer
10:59
they have not released the original
11:00
theatrical versions without the CGI on
11:04
blu-ray I managed to pick up this DVD
11:07
copy it's the only one I have
11:09
without the enhanced added stuff that
11:12
came out way later but I don't have the
11:16
other two I have them on VHS I'll show
11:18
those in a little bit this is around the
11:23
back end just put these out on blu-ray
11:34
they would sell that is for certain I'm
11:34
not sure what the holdup is but there
11:37
are some bootlegs of theater versions
11:40
but not an official blu-rays yet at
11:43
least not yet as far as I know and even
11:45
on this two disc set it's not really
11:46
heavily pushed disc one is the added
11:51
stuff that Lucas put in you have to go
11:53
to the bonus features here on this one
11:56
the special features to watch that
11:59
theater version but at least I have it
12:01
at least I have it I'm pretty sure those
12:04
VHS are inside it's like this up to the
12:12
top of that oh there's the rancor
12:16
oh yeah oh yes those are the VHS there
12:22
you see the barcode just give you a
12:26
little sample of what is down in this
12:30
thing all originals they're all cog they
12:36
are not practicing any sort of
12:38
distancing whatsoever yes that is good
12:54
George right here on the side of it 15
12:57
years ago
12:59
okay that's a little outdated I set out
13:02
to make a film for a generation growing
13:05
up without fairytales
13:18
I think Fox these are the Fox tapes yeah
13:18
it was Fox see the emblem right down
13:21
there
13:22
here is the trilogy to set new standards
13:25
and filmmaking special effects and
13:28
rousing sci-fi action adventure
13:32
storytelling got that right
13:35
it's groundbreaking now I grew up in the
13:38
generation that never referred to it as
13:40
New Hope fact if you just kind of peruse
13:45
the tape you will never see those words
13:47
mentioned anywhere on there I'm gonna
13:51
shuffle them around they are a bit out
13:54
of order
13:55
Star Wars Empire and Jedi that's what I
13:59
call them show you the back side note
14:06
yes that is a piece of the original
14:08
Marriott DragonCon carpet that they tore
14:11
out many years ago doesn't look like
14:13
that anymore but any of those have been
14:16
a DragonCon back in the day might
14:20
recognize it here's a little bit of an
14:22
overview this is the back end of that
14:25
box at the rancor that Yoda got Jabba
14:33
got the gomorian guard you can always
14:36
check to see how the tape is doing
14:37
inside this kind of clamps down like
14:40
that I learned this from working at a
14:42
video store there's a button here on the
14:44
side you push the button and that just
14:46
pops open just like that people would
14:49
return these in this in the return slot
14:52
and sometimes or they come in and say
14:54
this tape is messed up and basically all
14:58
I would do is push the button in do that
15:01
and see what the problem was a little
15:04
fun fact
15:06
that you probably really didn't even
15:08
want to know I used to have one of those
15:11
Vader carrying cases that all of these
15:13
would go with what happened to it
15:23
Skywalker looks very content with seeing
15:23
his old friends
15:30
they're down there Luke they see him now
15:30
okay yeah yeah notice of it first
15:40
don't look at me that way look at your
15:40
friends
15:51
oh okay there you see them now okay good
15:51
he's nodding yes a little bit of dust
15:53
has accumulated there on the on the
15:56
landspeeder
15:57
it's always a good rule of thumb to have
16:00
a little ziplock baggie to put the
16:05
plastic pieces in so they don't get lost
16:08
they usually fail at this method but
16:13
I've gotten a little bit better we're
16:14
doing that oh look at that right there
16:16
that's the axe right there as it comes
16:20
into focus that's the axe
16:21
I was gonna say rancor keeper but it's
16:25
not the rank or keeper it's the gomorian
16:27
guard which happens to be right here oh
16:31
yes one of my favorite characters I just
16:36
love all the accessories from Return of
16:39
the Jedi
16:40
just something about the third film in
16:44
the trilogy by the way you you may it
16:49
may or may not have seen this but this
16:51
this bounty hunter is not who or what
16:56
you think it is it's actually spoiler
17:01
alert spoiler alert on this one spoiler
17:03
alert I'm gonna pop the head off right
17:06
there look who it is
17:18
someone who loves you plastic casing
17:18
around Darth and his saber there how it
17:23
just protrudes out of his hand and it
17:26
hides up into his arm don't want him to
17:33
get ruined
17:34
I got him inside this little casing bed
17:38
Fortuna I never understood that he's not
17:43
wearing a bib I guess maybe he is he's
17:48
got a sweet jacket on just put bid right
17:55
but with that Boba Fett where who's shot
17:59
first always up for debate and if you
18:06
take a gander at these versions your
18:11
question will be answered why do I have
18:15
to gritos one might be an imposter watch
18:21
out Han you might have to shoot twice I
18:24
have a couple duplicates that looks like
18:26
and this is the way I fail on putting
18:30
things in baggies see those two pieces
18:34
should be over here in this baggy being
18:38
guarded by the gomorian guard and mr.
18:40
Fortuna
18:50
in Java Nevada you must be very warm in
18:50
that ensemble it's not not treading
18:55
lightly on the coolness factor and next
18:59
to him is Judas Iscariot I will at some
19:03
point find a place to put these on
19:05
display need to first hand get a little
19:08
two little plastic pieces at the bottom
19:11
of their feet kind of mount down into
19:14
once I do that I'll be able to place
19:17
them out a little bit more they do take
19:19
up a lot of space countertop space and
19:22
on shelving but at some point I'll come
19:25
up with a good system you can see your
19:27
friends a little better now that they're
19:28
spread out right
19:38
well don't don't wield your saber
19:38
towards them they're your friends
19:54
okay focusing on his friends now
19:54
focusing back on Luke
20:03
I don't think he's too happy with me
20:03
that's what I was referring to there on
20:05
the bottom of the feet those holes that
20:08
you can stick down a little plastic
20:09
pieces and they stand up they won't fall
20:12
over all of these retro figures have
20:17
have these on the bottom a quick little
20:20
peruse over all the ones I currently own
20:29
next on my list is Jabba's palace that
20:29
will probably be there probably be the
20:33
next I've been saying that for quite
20:35
some time
20:38
it'll happen I'm in no rush
20:50
I know there are people with way more
20:50
impressive collections than and I have
20:54
but I'm pretty happy with us
21:05
brings back memories I also believe that
21:05
the first completion of all of them will
21:07
be Jedi The Return of the Jedi Emperor's
21:13
Royal Guard I'm missing missing them
21:15
that's another one of my favorites
21:18
complete with netting you can get caught
21:20
up in there
21:21
watch out Chui it's a trap it's a
21:31
it's a trap I'm not gonna dump this one
21:31
out like I did the others because a
21:32
little more fragile but baggie alert
21:37
pullers baggies inside a baggie baggie
21:40
alert it's a good rule of thumb I'm
21:44
telling you that Boulder is swinging
21:46
nicely to and fro you got to put it
21:50
together like a puzzle piece thankfully
21:53
this is still included they really do
21:58
care
22:16
it's an old Jedi mind-trick a variety of
22:16
steps starting with attaching the
22:18
support struts all three are identical
22:22
and then you can kind of continue on
22:24
read at your own discretion attach the
22:28
trees to the main platform oh yeah the
22:37
little carrier is also included that's
22:41
right down here the pieces just kind of
22:46
snapped together just find where they're
22:50
supposed to go and then push them into
22:52
place they just sit there like that I
22:55
wasn't really a snap that was more of a
22:57
setting but that works just me
23:01
personally but I would find being
23:03
carried around like this slightly
23:05
irritating just let me off I'll walk
23:08
I'll be fine no reason just pull your
23:14
back out completed and now ready for
23:17
some serious
23:19
yeah but nub egde I don't think that's
23:23
really a term but sounds good you don't
23:27
get by the get by the fireplace well not
23:30
a fireplace it is a place with fire but
23:41
nope whoa see I knew that wouldn't work
23:41
hold someone up that log oh man these
23:45
Jawas are at it again
23:46
always fevered and stealing other
23:49
people's stuff come back with that bag
23:52
and in case you were wondering what's
23:54
under the hood there's all the gears and
23:59
bells and whistles a little storage
24:02
space you hide in there can you get in
24:06
there and hide I don't want to get
24:09
caught for you even waves nope you can't
24:17
that was a fail oh no I knew he looked
24:21
hungry the rancor has picked the
24:23
gomorian guard out of this cast of
24:26
characters for his feeding watch out
24:29
he's chomping at the bit he wants he
24:34
wants a taste guard yeah he likes that
24:38
gomorian flavor look his sharp fangs
24:43
okay I'm losing my mind too late he's
24:45
got the leg and he's chopping away save
24:48
him Luke save him now they're friends
24:51
remember that one time I saved you from
24:53
the rancor you sure do and stop being so
24:59
mean remember last time what happened
25:00
that gate crushed out on your head your
25:02
noggin you're right I'm sorry
25:06
now see if the rank was to consume
25:08
some veggies you might more be more of a
25:13
pleasure to be around I think I'm just
25:17
gonna dive into the carrots just gonna
25:20
get a few of the carrot slices save
25:27
Jessie
25:38
hmm
25:38
good flavor there my favorite film from
25:43
the original trilogy even though the
25:46
first groundbreaking even though it is
25:50
highly regarded by most including me the
25:55
Empire is the best made conglomeration
26:02
of all three of them
26:04
nostalgia reasons I love Return of the
26:08
Jedi all three of them intertwined is a
26:15
heck of a good time but if I had to pick
26:20
one that holds the deepest special place
26:25
in my heart it's the third Return of the
26:28
Jedi I know that's not the appropriate
26:30
episode number but for me those three
26:33
are Star Wars I enjoy the new films I
26:37
like the new the new generations of them
26:40
as well but none of them know the newer
26:43
stuff really sinks in I can't really
26:45
sink my teeth into it like I could in
26:49
those original three
27:00
I don't mind the Ewoks I love his
27:00
Sarlacc hit Java sequence
27:04
I love the Emperor vs Luke there's so
27:11
much goodness and that was the time in
27:13
my life when I started collecting toys
27:22
around that time frame so a lot of that
27:22
kind of seeps into the brain that's
27:28
gonna do it for today if you're new
27:45
goes down a little bit differently than
27:45
what I've been eating in the past fruit
27:49
has been consumed a lot lately
27:52
these are veggies veggies right use your
27:56
veggies if you enjoy this particular
27:58
episode give it a big thumbs up let me
28:08
know I'll see in the next video the blog
28:16
is how far one more item for good
28:19
measure
28:19
Cantina adventure enamel pin set pretty
28:27
