- Hey, how's it going? Good. Good. I have this to offer you. And this is-- This is the earliest sticker-sealed "Super Mario Brothers" Nintendo game. [MUSIC - "SUPER MARIO BROTHERS THEME"] RICK: That's pretty amazing. I know some of them go for a lot of money. Chum. What? Can you come over here and help me for a moment? CHUMLEE: What's up, Rick? OK, the guy has a-- I guess this is a really early one. The earliest print still sealed of "Super Mario Brothers" in existence. CHUMLEE: Oh, wow. Do you mind if I take a look? - Absolutely. Sure. COREY: Oh, this is the-- yeah, this isn't the shrink-wrapped version. This is the sticker still version, which I don't know too much about. But I know these are pretty rare. SELLER: This one also happens to be an incredibly high grade. Even if the other ones are found, there's no way it's going to come close to this condition. RICK: All right. How much do you want for it? It's a piece of history. It's something that's hard for me to part with. But I would sell it for a million dollars. A million dollars. Yep. All right, um-- That's a lot of money for a video game. I agree. It is a lot of money. I know there's video game collecting going on. I know I've seen some recent auctions where I was sort of shocked when, like, there's some video games sold for $29,000, just the cartridges. Sure. But I didn't know the market exists for six-figure games, much less a million dollar game. From all my research, WATA is the company that grades these. These are the ones you trust. So I'm actually going to go call them up and see if I can get one of their guys down here. I would really like to get their opinion. But you know, no offense. I mean, I just never heard of a video game going for a million dollars. And I just don't know if that exists or not. OK. I-- I will be right back. OK. I think Mario hit him on the head with a pipe wrench. CHUMLEE: [laughs] So he wants a million dollars for this thing, which I think is insane. DENIZ KAHN: Yeah, I remember it. And I know why he's asking astronomical money on this one. This is probably the most significant piece of video game history that's ever passed through our grading company. RICK: OK. And he also said that this was the best condition. Yeah, so what makes this special-- there's a lot of different indicators. First, you're going to see the sticker. So it's not shrink-wrapped. It's from the test market launch of the NES, as far as we know, which was only in 1985 and 1986. No one even knew who Nintendo was. But back then, they were just another company. Once they started mass producing these and sending them across the country, they had to have something that would last on the shelves longer, which is also why, seeing this in this condition, it's just-- it's a complete anomaly. This is the second print. And it's the earliest known. There's no other second prints or even first prints known that are still sealed. So we don't know the exact number of copies that were printed in the first test market launch. But we're estimating it's somewhere around the 10,000 print run. And how many of those survived sealed? One, as far as we know. RICK: So if this went into an auction today, your estimate would be-- It's really hard to tell. It hasn't sold on the open market. As video games are starting to be viewed more as art and history, not just these relics of nostalgia, this is it. This is the one that started it all. It's got the trifecta. It's got rarity. It's got popularity. Everyone knows Mario. And it's got significance to collectors. But you know, with things like this, it's high risk, high reward. I know of firm offers that have been turned down at $300,000. It goes up from there. There's no ceiling really. RICK: OK, I learned a lot today. DENIZ KAHN: Absolutely. My pleasure. Anytime. Good luck. Thank you. At first, I thought you were crazy. [laughs] I'm literally a little bit shocked and a little bit speechless. But realistically, what do you want for it? I'm asking a million dollars for it. There's a big business in these right here. And I've just been looking into maybe getting into it a little bit. But I'm not going to get into it with this kind of figure just to start with. I understand. I understand. So have a great day. I learned a lot. And obviously, I have a lot of research to do. Well, thank you for your time. I appreciate it. It's good to meet you. Have a good one, man. Thank you. I'm OK that no offer was made. I'm happy to keep the game. And it's a piece of history, so I'm happy to have it in my collection. [rock music] SELLER: How are you doing today? CHUMLEE: Pretty good. How are you doing? I've got this vintage Ford Lotus. CHUMLEE: All right. That's pretty cool. It's just the box? Nope, there's a car inside there. Let's check it out here. Mind if I-- - Go ahead. --take a look at it? So where'd you get this? A friend of mine was having a garage sale. And he had it on the shelf. And I decided to grab it because it's kind of rare. CHUMLEE: Does it work? Yes. [engine whirs] That's not annoying. [laughs] [race cars whiz by] GARY: I'm coming into the pawn shop today to sell my Lotus Ford formula race car. I'm looking to get $650 today. I got my race car from a garage sale, and it's in perfect condition. CHUMLEE: It's pretty cool, the evolution of the toy car. I mean, now, if you picked something up like this as a Christmas gift or for your kid, it'd better have a remote control. Yeah. CHUMLEE: The Lotus is pretty cool though. They've been making cars since the '50s. They still make cars in America, Europe. They do race cars, and they do cars for civilians. But they're pretty beefed up and fast. So what drew you to this? Well, you know, I'm a toy collector. And it's vintage '60s. And that piece there is always one of the pieces that are always broke. It is so fragile. So to have that piece with that car really makes it. Try to find one of those. Oh, yeah, it definitely broke through. It's definitely glued. But like you said, I'm sure these things break all the time. I mean, it's pretty cool. What are you looking to do with it? I'd like to sell it. And how much are you looking to get? I'm looking for 650. [sighs] Um, I really need to have someone come down and take a look at this because it's a really nice piece. But I'm worried about this crack right here. And the box looks like it's in pretty good condition, but it does have some warping. You could have a nice box and not a nice toy though. Your goal is, for collecting, to have a nice toy and a nice box. Gotcha. All original, pristine condition, and that's where you get the big, big money. So if you have a few minutes, I'll call a buddy of mine in. He specializes in antique toys. And he can tell us exactly what you have here and how much he thinks it would go for. - Oh, sounds cool. - All right. Give me just a minute. I'll give him a call. GARY: I have no problem having the expert look at this item because I think he's going to appraise it for higher than what I'm asking for. CHUMLEE: Hey. STEVE JOHNSTON: What's up, Chum? CHUMLEE: What's happening, Steve? STEVE JOHNSTON: How are you? CHUMLEE: Pretty good. How you doing. - Oh, man. Good. - How you doing? Gary. - Steve. Nice to meet you. CHUMLEE: This is Gary's-- Wow. CHUMLEE: --Lotus Ford F-1. What do you think? STEVE JOHNSTON: This is a cool car, man. You know, in, like, the mid-1960s, the cars were starting to evolve. We were used to the tin toys. We were used to maybe like a Tonka that was just a stationary vehicle. And then companies started producing actual functioning cars. Yeah, I think it's pretty cool. It seems like it's in good condition. But my biggest concern is, like, this little-- it looks like it's been cracked and glued back together. STEVE JOHNSTON: The spoilers on these usually don't exist. So for you to even have one in front of you is really awesome. Listen, if I had this toy, that thing wouldn't have lasted two hours. I would have jumped it off a table, and it would have been done. As far as the box condition goes, Chum, you sound a little concerned on it. And I'll be honest with you. I think it's actually a pretty nice box. CHUMLEE: The writing's good. The picture is good. I just wasn't sure. STEVE JOHNSTON: And you gotta think about how old this is. What kind of value can you put on it? So overall, it looks like it's in real good shape here. This is the condition that you look to find stuff in. I've seen some of these going, like, the $800, $850 range. I would say this one, I think he'd have no problem getting somewhere between, you know, $625 to $700 for this. You're going to have a collector who's definitely going to want this. I think it's fair. Fair? That's what you came in asking for. [laughter] I'll let you guys get to your business, all right? CHUMLEE: Thank you. Good luck, man. Thank you. Beautiful car. The box, I guess, is in really good condition, he says. Would you take 375? No. I think it's worth a little more. I think 450 sounds like a good price. Gives you some room to make some money. Would you do 425? No, 450. CHUMLEE: You're stuck on 450? Oh, man. I think that leaves me enough room. I could do 450. - Thank you. - All right. I'll meet you at the counter. Let's write it up. OK, thank you. I paid $15 for it. So the 450 is a really good score. I feel great. COREY: Hey. What's up, man? Hello. I have a 1956 Pez Space Ray Gun. COREY: Pez Candy I always thought was disgusting. They started off as an aid to get people to stop smoking. So it was a little round tablet that tasted like mint. But people didn't want to quit smoking. So they decided to turn it into a fruit-flavored candies and make it into stuff, you know, kids would like. When I ever got one when I was a kid, I would just tear the whole package open and eat them at once. I thought you said that you didn't like Pez. I didn't. But that's how I figured that out. CHRISTOPHER: I'm here to sell my 1956 Pez Space Ray Gun. I had the opportunity to purchase a very large collection, which included a lot of other vintage toys and collectibles. And this Pez Space Ray Gun was one of those pieces. I don't have any personal sentimental value to it. But it's very nostalgic. COREY: This is interesting. CHUMLEE: I mean, I love Pez. Like, in the '60s, they started making the 3D heads. And they had the little comics on the packaging. I was just at a candy convention. I went to the Pez people, and they gave me this Pez dispenser. And I looked it up on the internet, and it was already going for $200. Yeah, I mean, the company's lasted forever. And they're doing something right. How would you use it? Well, so it has this little piece right here. The cartridge comes out. And then you put that down like so. And you're on that. And whenever you would pull the trigger here, the Pez would shoot out the actual front of the gun. COREY: OK, I'm sure that got discontinued pretty quick. You have kids just sticking a gun in their mouth and shooting candy, right? That seems kind of bizarre. So what are you looking to do with it? I want to sell it. COREY: What are you looking to get? I'm asking $500. OK. I don't know what's the market on Pez dispensers is like right now. But one of my biggest issues is there was a massive influx of counterfeit and fake Pez dispensers. Mind if I have my buddy Steve come down and take a look? Absolutely. CHUMLEE: Got a Pez dispenser. STEVE JOHNSTON: That's what you called me for? I'm trying to put this thing in the candy shop. STEVE JOHNSTON: That's a really cool piece for you to put in the candy shop, although I don't know if you can actually legally sell it or not. No, I want to display it. Why couldn't I legally sell it? STEVE JOHNSTON: If you're going to have a display, you could. CHUMLEE: Why couldn't I legally just sell it? STEVE JOHNSTON: Because it was actually taken off the market because kids had a choking hazard with it. Really? STEVE JOHNSTON: So it was discontinued for that purpose. When you told me what it was, I was like, oh, man, I haven't seen one of these in so long. You know, in 1956, this was basically the third item that Pez offered on the market towards kids. Can I take a look at it? CHRISTOPHER: Absolutely. Awesome. Overall, it looks like it's in pretty good shape. And then it looks like you have your gun permit. COREY: You can't have a gun without a gun permit. STEVE JOHNSTON: You can't carry without the gun permit. That's correct. This was actually your instruction sheet. These are not usually available with the guns because this was the first thing that would go. So it's neat to see that intact and everything. So I think you've got a legit space gun from 1956. COREY: So what do you think it's worth? These are really desirable. I think you guys would have no problem getting $450 for it. Well, I appreciate you coming in. Cool. Thanks. - All right. Thank you. See you later. So remind me again. How much were you looking for? I'm looking to get $500. How about 250 bucks? How about-- how about $400? How about 3? You smile and shake my hand and say yes. Oh, that's a tough one. 300, smile, shake your hand. OK, deal. Chum, you want to write him up. Sure. Let's go write it up. CHRISTOPHER: I'm thrilled that I was able to make a deal here today. And while it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, it's enough to buy my wife a wonderful anniversary gift. Do you know anything about a Pez gun that we paid 300 bucks for? Uh, yeah. RICK: Well, it says Chum put it on a shelf 127, and it's not there. I checked this morning. So do you know where my Pez dispenser is at? CHUMLEE: If there's a Pez dispenser missing in the store, I would start with the guy who owns the candy store across the parking lot, Chum. Which is Chum, yeah. I mean, he was really into it. Well, I guess I'm going to a candy store. There you go. Have fun. [rock music] CHUMLEE: What's up, Rick? RICK: Is that my Pez gun? CHUMLEE: It's a Pez gun. I don't know if it's yours anymore. [sighs] Why is it over here? It looks so much better in here, Rick. This is a candy store. This is a natural environment for this thing to be in. Those are the facts. All right. You know what? I'm gonna make this really easy on you. I'm just going to take 400 bucks out your paycheck. Wait. Could I get it for 300? No. And the candy bar, I get that too. CHUMLEE: Lame. [gentle music] RICK: Mystery Box of Fun. [laughs] Yes, it is. RICK: So what's in the Mystery Box of Fun? ANDY: Well, I'm a huge Batman fan. And I found out that there was a really important limited edition Batman and Joker offered at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con. So I stood in line all night to find out it did come with two of the pieces that I was chasing and a special metallic Skeletor. OK. [laughs] ANDY: I'm here today at the pawn shop to sell my collection of Funko Pop vinyl toys. I'm a lifelong Batman fan. And so I got these at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con. I was hoping to get $3,000 today for the collection. If I'm able to walk out of here today with $3,000, I'm a sushi chef, so I was hoping to put that money towards getting some new knives. Funko's a really incredible company. They started coming out with them in the '90s. And then Funko changed hands I think right around in 2005, and a new guy took over and really marketed it. And it just sort of blew up. You wouldn't think it. It's a vinyl toy. You know what I mean? So we have Skeletor vinyl. We all know who The Joker is. I mean, you don't even have to put Joker on this thing. Everyone-- you just look at that, and you know it's the Joker. ANDY: Absolutely. RICK: And Batman as a little kid, I guess. These are pretty cool. I know these things can go for a fortune. There's people that collect just Funko toys. You know, I was happy with these being a part of my collection but then recently discovered that they might be worth something. RICK: OK. So how much are you looking to get out of these? 3,000. $3,000. OK. All right, I know some of these go for crazy money. I didn't know they go for that kind of crazy money. Let me call someone who knows a lot more about this stuff than I do because I just generally don't deal in Funko Skeletors. [laughs] No problem. First time in my life I wish Chum was here. That's Skeletor. [laughter] We have The Joker. And we have Batman. What this was in 2013, and pretty much every year since, Funko has produced what they call the Mystery Box of Fun. You purchase it, and you don't know which ones you're going to get. The mascot for Funko so is Freddy Funko. RICK: OK. STEVE JOHNSTON: And so your Joker and the Batman here are Freddy Funko dressed as The Joker and as Batman. Because when they do that, they limit the numbers on these. RICK: OK. I know these can go for money, but he wants, like, crazy money for these things. STEVE JOHNSTON: The box condition and the actual paint application on the vinyl, they are part of that value of the figure. Let me see and just kind of look at the condition here. You know, it looks pretty nice overall. You have a little bit of box damage up here in the top corner so it does affect, say, his value a little bit. The Joker, it seems like his box looks really nice. It looks like this is a really nice example of one. So he looks to be in near mint condition. So that's nice. And Batman, looks like this box is in pretty good condition too. It does have, it looks like, one little box crease there. So they're nice overall, though. And this is a very desirable set of these figures. All right. So what are they worth? With the box and the set being in nice condition and what they are, I think you'd have no problem getting $2,800 for the set. OK. you Learn something new every day. Thanks. Good luck. RICK: [sighs] Would you take 1,500 bucks? I can't take any less than 2,000. Would you go 16? Can you do 1,950? I'll go 1,800. I know they're really highly collectable. But I mean, just anything more that just doesn't make sense to me. OK. Well, I appreciate your time today. All right. If you change your mind, come back and see me. ANDY: These toys mean a lot to me, and I'm very close to these things. So I couldn't see myself parting with them for less than $2,000 today. Hey, how's it going? Hey. Man. What is this? This Is a Frostmourne sword from the "World of Warcraft." "World of Warcraft?" RICK: That's a video game, right? I think it's, like, the biggest video game of all time. RICK: Chum, you know about this, right? How big of a nerd do you think I am? [bell rings] [shouting, swords clanking] TYLER: I have a "World of Warcraft" sword that I'm hoping to sell today. I'm a pretty big gamer. I was really into "World of Warcraft" for a long time and just recently decided to move on to other things. It's still in its original box. I have not taken it out and played with it much. And so as far as I can tell, I think it's in perfect condition. RICK: OK. Can we see it? Is it-- Yeah, sure. Let's take it out. Here, I'll help you. [suspenseful music] [victorious music] Whoa, that thing it's pretty cool. Here. CHUMLEE: Let me hold this right here. Let me check this thing out here. Whoa. This thing is badass. What do you think this is made out of? The blade looks like it's made out of steel. CHUMLEE: The "World of Warcraft" came out in 2004. It was huge. The game was so big that in 2008, Epic Weapons actually started produce some weapons from in the game. RICK: So this sword is like the real-life version of the sword used in the game. TYLER: The sword is called Frostmourne. This sword belonged to the Lich King in the third edition of the game. So what do you do in the game? You just fight other people? Yeah, I mean, there's, like, all of these different characters that you can fight against. Or like, me and you could be on separate computers, fighting each other. So you can fight real world people and you can fight other characters that are controlled by the game. OK, is this one of those games where people stay up for two or three days and play it? Sometimes people play this, they play for days and days and days-- and days. Oh, check it out. Go ahead. Hold this bad boy. Hold it like a real sword. Don't you feel badass? No, I said-- I feel kind of silly. To be honest with you, you look kind of silly. It looks way better in my hands. Are you afraid I wield the power of it? Frostmourne, hungers! I have no idea what you just said. Please put it down, Chum. How much you want for this thing? I'm thinking $5,000. RICK: Really? I have no idea what this thing is worth. So can you call up Steve for me? Put it down. I was going to take it with me. No, you're not going to take it with you. Give him a call, and he'll help us out. I'll be right back. OK. [sighs] CHUMLEE: "World of a Warcraft," the game of all games. "World of Warcraft" is huge. It's incredible what "World of Warcraft" has done in the world of gaming. It's one standalone game. And Blizzard Entertainment, the company that kind of created the whole thing, has netted around $9 billion on the game. RICK: Well, that's a lot of money. CHUMLEE: So this is the Frostmourne sword. What do you know about this thing? Well, you know, video game memorabilia and props have gotten really, really big. This sword in the game, [inaudible] the Lich Kings, you definitely had to have this sword if you wanted to be one of those top tier players. So this sword became one of the most desirable pieces of memorabilia, something that, hey, if I couldn't get it in the game, at least I could take it home. RICK: OK. So is this thing authentic, or is it just a knockoff? So let me take a look at it. Do you mind if I-- Sure. Go ahead. Cool. Now it's in dangerous hands. Yeah. These scenes are amazing. I mean, there's a couple really unique traits about it. One, you do have the Epic branding and logo on the back of the sword here. And on most of the replicas, it doesn't actually have the black laser engraving. So this is definitely an authentic one. You're looking at one of the most desirable pieces of "World of Warcraft" collector items. RICK: OK. That said, what's this thing go for? STEVE JOHNSTON: Well, you know, these things have sold for as much as $5,000 at one time. However, you're going to have to find someone who actually wants an authentic one. Someone might be satisfied having a replica hanging on their wall. I think you probably are going to be able to get somewhere around $1,350 for this. OK, thanks, man. No problem. Thanks, Chum. RICK: All right. He just told me it's going to be hard to sell. Yeah, boy. I'll give you 600 bucks for it. I mean-- I don't think I can do 600. Could I get 1,000 for it? I have to resell it. It's going to sit there for a while. I'll make it easy on you. I go 750 on it. I'm not going to go a penny more. I'll agree to the 750. OK, 750 bucks. Go write him up, Chum. Leave the sword here. I will put it in the box. You want to play with it, don't you? No, I don't want to play with it. I'll meet you right over there, write it up, while he plays with the sword. Cool. Can I help you? Yeah. I got the Batman Wayne Foundation house. [adventurous music] CHUMLEE: Hey, Corey, check this out. Batman Foundation dollhouse. That's what this is, right? A dollhouse. Yeah, absolutely. I think, you know, part of the appeal of Batman was he was just a normal guy. He wasn't born with superhero powers or bitten by a radioactive spider. A normal guy. A billionaire, that's a normal guy? Who had a sexy voice. (LOW VOICE) Robin, come in, please. Any idea what you're looking to get out of it? I'm thinking 700 bucks. OK. I don't know. 700 bucks for a Batman dollhouse? Yeah, but it comes with the box. CHUMLEE: I don't know, Big Hoss. I think-- I think you need to call in Steve for this one. COREY: I believe he's at a toy convention. Well, I'm sorry, my man. We're going to have to pass. We're not going to pass. We're going to have to pass. Steve's not-- No, we're not gonna pass. I'll give you 500 for it. CHUMLEE: I bet you it's not worth that. Guaranteed you're going to lose on that. Can you do 6? I can do 5. Take it and run, buddy. Take it and run. You got a deal. I do. I'll tell you what. We're going to bring Steve in when he gets back. And if it's more than $500, you're going to wear a costume that I choose. And if it's worth less, you see Robin right there, you're going to be wearing green underwear and a red dress just like that. Sure, buddy. OK. Write him up. Let's go. He's my boss, but you got over on him today. This piece of crud can't be worth more than freaking 200 bucks. [laughs] I mean, it's got the worse thing going for it. It's Batman. Well, I guess you're not that much of a Batman fan. But-- Corey bought a Batman dollhouse for $500 without checking in with our expert first. And I think he way overpaid. So we made a bet. And if Steve values this at under $500, Corey is going to have to do whatever I say. STEVE JOHNSTON: This is pretty cool, man. I don't know if I'd say cool. COREY: Hush. Well, you know, it's funny. You know, I know you don't like Batman. But in the '70s, Batman ruled. Batman was so popular that you had companies like Mego trying to kind of produce whatever they could. Mego, when they had started producing these play sets, they started with, like, the Planet of the Apes. And they produced, like, the big play set with the tree house. So then in '74, the Bat Cave came out. And unique from the fact that you didn't have anything that was like this big of a play set for boys. You had the Barbie Dreamhouse. You had those type of play sets. But for boys, you hadn't really gotten to something that was this big. I think that's why Corey likes it so much because he loves dollhouses. STEVE JOHNSTON: Yeah. COREY: So what do you think it's worth? STEVE JOHNSTON: You know, so I noticed that you're missing the rope, which would actually pull up the elevator here. And then there was a little bat shield that attach to the end of it that would hang off this piece. And then when you would pull it up to a floor, you would hook it over the front to be able to place the elevator on different levels. That's got to affect the price drastically, right? It is one of the harder pieces to find. It is commonly missing. However, because it is so commonly missing, most collectors would be more than satisfied with this because you have all of the clips because they're always missing or broken. You have all of the furniture pieces. It's a very nice box. And you've got the instruction sheet for it as well, which is really cool. So obviously, you've got almost everything that you would need here for someone that would want a Wayne Foundation. If you're a Mego collector, it's not going to take long for you to sell. OK, so I got a bet riding on this. I paid 500 bucks for it. What do you think? Well, you know, a lot of times, Chum is right when it comes to this type stuff. He knows quite a bit about it. When you know, you know. However, I think in this point, I think Chum's wrong. And the reason being is because I think you guys have no problem getting $1,100 for this. Sweet. STEVE JOHNSTON: So sorry, but you lost your bet, bud. Oh, it's going to be fun. You're gonna be sorry. - You know what? I got some stuff to do. RICK: OK, so what have you been up to while I was gone? Chum lost a bet. As a matter of fact, I think you got a costume you need to try on. [sighs] [superhero music] COREY: [laughs] CHUMLEE: (LOW VOICE) Welcome to the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop. COREY: He's never looked better. I like the belt. I like the pawn shop advertising. You're not going to make him do this all day, are you? For at least a while. He's really embracing the character. (LOW VOICE) Welcome to the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop. It's funny. I will give you that. But you're going to freak the customers out, all right? Why? - Because it's weird. - Come on. It's great. Look at him. (LOW VOICE) Welcome to the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop. Chum, you're done. That's it today, Big Hoss. RICK: [laughs] CHUMLEE: What's up, man? TEL: How are you doing? - I'm good. What do you have here? I have an awesome 1980s Coca-Cola toy. CHUMLEE: OK, it's real awesome, dude. Cool. This is a GoBot. Where'd you get it? I had a birthday party in Burger King. And this was the gift that Burger King gave me. CHUMLEE: I think I'd be pretty pissed if I got this at 12 years old. - Right. Like, a Coke can? Seriously? TEL: I have a 1980s Coca-Cola robot. When I first got it, I tried to play with it. It was just a Coke can, so it really didn't fit in with any of my other toys. So it just went back in the box. It's just sitting on a shelf, so I'm just trying to get rid of some clutter. My wife keeps on at me about the stupid things I keep holding on to. CHUMLEE: Let me see this here. This is pretty cool. TEL: Right? CHUMLEE: Coca-Cola advertisement, but it's also a GoBot. So in 1984, Tonka came out with the GoBots. And Hasbro came out with the Transformers. It was basically the same concept. You know, they were robots that would change into a Coke can, or a car, or an airplane. And you know, with the Transformers, there was the Autobots and the Decepticons. And they were battling for thousands of years. I don't too much about GoBots but basically, the same thing as Transformers but not as popular, you know. Many people look at the GoBots as Transformer knockoffs. But in reality, the GoBots were released before the Transformers. Both of them are pretty cool. But the GoBots only lasted a few years, and the Transformers just released their fourth major motion picture. This is going to appeal to people who collect Coke, Transformers, GoBots. It is in good condition, man. TEL: Yeah. CHUMLEE: Well, what do you want to do with it? I wanted to try and sell it. CHUMLEE: How much are you trying to get for it? TEL: I wanted about 200. Hmm. Honestly, dude, it's a GoBot. I'm gonna offer 40 bucks on it. TEL: How about 150? Would you be able to do, like, maybe 60 bucks? TEL: 80? CHUMLEE: I could go 75 on it. OK. CHUMLEE: 75 bucks? - Yeah. CHUMLEE: All right, that's a deal. Let's go over here and write it up. OK. I got it for free when I was a 10-year-old. It sat on the shelf for about 30 years, and I got 75 bucks for it. So I think that's a pretty good deal. [ding] CHUMLEE: Now we plan a takeover of your boss's enterprise. RICK: Oh, it's been a long time since I've seen one of those. [whirring] I just bought it. It's a little GoBot. It's like a Transformer thing. But it's not a GoBot, Chum. How do you know? OK, it's like a Transformer. It transforms. Boom, done. Chum. CHUMLEE: Yeah? What I'm trying to tell you is it was-- Coca-Cola just made it. It wasn't done my GoBots or anything. So what is it then? So Coca-Cola made this promotional thing in England. But there was no reason to have GoBots or Transformers do it when they could just do it themselves. You don't have to pay a licensing fee or anything like that. So they just made a transforming Coke can. It's-- I just-- I don't get it. Well, they're still cool. How much did you pay for it? 75 bucks. You actually did good. I mean, we could sell it for, like, 150. Cha-ching! Go, go, Coke can. RICK: As long as you don't break it. [imitates whirring] RICK: Chum, put it away. Put it on the shelf till we sell it, all right? All right. [imitates rocket] You shall live to pawn another day, Chong. RICK: What do we have here? I have here my antique space explorer toy. RICK: Cool. This is a Marx tin toy. Slowly through the years, there's been, like, this massive collector community for things like this. Especially to find one of these things in great shape-- this is something little boys played with. And you know how little boys are. We destroy everything. DAVID: That's right. That's right. I still do sometimes. [breaking glass] CHILD: God! DAVID: It's an awesome piece. I love the litho. And it runs. It does everything the toy is supposed to do. I'm hoping for $3,000 today. The antique toy is worth so much because of its rarity. I cannot find anything on this piece. And I have tried to look everywhere. RICK: This is pretty damn cool. Do you know much about the Marx toy company? Not too much, no. They were literally, like, the biggest toy company in the world. They've been around since the 1920s. They were, like, the first guys to go to Japan and Hong Kong and start making the stamped out metal toys. This was, like, the early Japanese stuff, right after World War II. DAVID: Right. RICK: If you look at pictures of Japan right after World War II, just about everything was bombed out. And they were looking for being able to manufacture things with what they had left. And inexpensive toys made out of sheet metal was their thing. After World War II, one of the things the Japanese manufacturing base made was inexpensive metal toys. And quite frankly, the quality was pretty bad. So they didn't last long. So it's absolutely amazing to see one in this kind of shape. So how much you want for it? Well, I looked all over the place for this, and I found in an old toy magazine where it was listed for $5,500. Now, that's with the box, of course. But I figured 3,000 would be a good price to ask for. RICK: OK. This is one of the holy grails. This is one of the big ones. And this looks like it's beat up a little bit. But this is in incredible shape. I would really like my friend to come down and take a look at it, maybe give me a better idea of a price. OK. So my buddy is not around. DAVID: Oh. RICK: But I think I know enough about this thing. When you saw a price for 5,500, that is with the box, OK? Right. And I'm just telling you that's 100 times more rare, especially for a toy like this. I'll give you 1,000 bucks for it. You know, when it comes to toys, comes to anything like this, condition is everything. Again, it's in incredible shape. I'll give you that. But it's definitely not perfect. DAVID: Right. 1,750? RICK: No. I'll give you 1,200 bucks. I have to resell this thing, right? They are very collectible, but maybe one out at 20,000 people collect an old sheet metal toys. And then you got to find someone willing to pull that kind of money out of their pocket. Would you do 1,300? RICK: [sighs] Let me do 1,250. Sure. All right. All right, thanks, man. I'll meet you right over there, and we'll do some paperwork. OK, thanks. RICK: I think I knew enough about this toy to make a good deal. Like I always say, a little bit of knowledge can be a really dangerous thing. So I'm gonna bring it down to Johnny just to ease my mind. Hey, dude, what's up? JOHNNY JIMENEZ: Hey, what's up, Rick? Look what I bought. JOHNNY JIMENEZ: Oh, sweet, man. An old [inaudible] toy. RICK: Uh-huh. It's all there. It's in really good shape. JOHNNY JIMENEZ: Wow. Every time you come, it's something better and better. These are part of pop culture in the '50s and '60s. You know, every little kid would have been exposed to that on the news, with the space race going on. So you know, kids had ray guns, and then they had tin robots, and then, of course, little space vehicles. This is part of pop culture from back then. RICK: So I tried to call you to come down to the shop, but you weren't there. So I bought it. I think I made a good deal on it. And I just wanted to see what you thought it was worth. JOHNNY JIMENEZ: Cool. Well, let me take a closer look. In the collective world, these are enormously popular. Collectors go nuts for these. And this is definitely, you know, up there as far as some of the rarer tin toys from that era. All of the colors are really bright. I mean, look at the red on the astronaut. The nose is clean. What I like the most about this, this is a friction toy. So I mean, young boys would have just been revving it up all day long. And that whole bottom surface is just gorgeous. So what did you pay for this? RICK: 1,250. And if I lose money, it's your fault because you weren't here. [laughter] JOHNNY JIMENEZ: Well, let me tell you something, man. I mean, with the condition that it's in, you could sell this easily for 2,500. RICK: Cool, man. So you'll do well with this. - Thanks, man. - All right. Any time, man. All right. It's really risky for Rick to buy a toy without me seeing it. But Rick definitely did a great buy. It's super rare and condition was great. He should have no problem selling it in the shop. I have a "Back to the Future 2" hoverboard signed by some of the cast members and a letter of authenticity to go with it. First things first-- does it float? No. But you're more than happy to try if you'd like. I probably exceed the weight limit. [laughter] [music playing] BILL: My name is Bill. And I'm here at the pawn shop to sell my "Back to the Future 2" hoverboard. I'm asking $1,500. The hoverboard has all three signatures on there, which is actually very hard to pull all those cast members together. The hoverboard is in pristine condition. It's right out of the box. I don't think it's going to be a problem making a deal. I'm pretty sure my grandfather brought me to this movie. It was, like, one of the first movies I remember seeing in a theater. It came out in what, 1989, something like that? BILL: Yeah. CHUMLEE: I could just see it. Get some popcorn, dammit, Corey. So are you a huge fan of the movie or-- Yeah. I've always been a fan of Michael J. Fox. "Back to the is as part of the childhood growing up. The whole movie franchise, I mean, was huge. Spielberg was one of the producers on it. And after their success on the first one, they knew it was going to be such a hit that they literally-- they filmed "Back to the Future 2" and "Back to the Future 3" at the same time. They actually had the trailer for "Back to the Future 3" already done. And it was at the end of "Back to the Future 2." I didn't even know that. So when did they sign it? Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson was signed about a year ago. And about a year previous to that, I had Michael j Fox sign this. So any idea what you're looking to get for it or-- I'm looking for probably around $1,500 or so. Realistically, I mean, I'm not going be able to give you $1,500 for this thing. You got a smaller number in mind. I'm looking around 300 bucks. I can't take that. There's more into it than that. What are you thinking then? I could come down to, say, about 900. That probably would be about the most I could pay. Come up to 7? Nope. Five would-- I'm pretty much topped out of 5. I've seen them go for a lot more than that. Yeah. I haven't. You know, I do love the movie, man. And you know, if you're at 7 and I'm at 5, I'll meet you in the middle. I'll do 6. I mean, I think it'll just be something cool to have on the wall in here. I don't think I'll make money on it. If anything, I'll go put it in my office. I don't know if I can go that low. 6 is what I could do. Tell you what. It's 600 bucks off my school. All right, cool. Appreciate it. Take care. Chum will write you up right over there. Hover on over to the counter. BILL: At the end of the day, I'm happy with the sale. I got a little bit more than what I have into it. Whether it goes in his office or someone else buys it, I'm happy either way. I brought in my official Batman Utility Belt from 1966. RICK: Pretty amazing. Where did you get this? Obviously, Bruce Wayne, you idiot. RICK: [laughs] KAREN: I came to the pawn shop today to sell my Batman Utility Belt from 1966. I got the belt in the '70s at an antique mall. I'm looking to get $17,000 for my belt. If I sell my belt, I'm going to buy a new car. [laughs] I really need a new car. RICK: OK, I'm intrigued. Batman has been a pretty amazing brand since the 1930s because there's everything from the cartoons, to the comic books, to the movies. And it never seems to end. The TV show came about in 1966. It was really, really fun. It was cheesy. People watched it with their kids. It was one of those shows that sort of rocketed straight to the top and went straight back down, so it was only on for three seasons. But Burt Ward and Adam West made entire careers just because they did this for three years. Right. I mean, I watched the reruns when I was a kid, and I loved it. And I think it was mostly because of the Batman utility belt. So we have the Baterang there, the Bat cuffs, the Bat gun, the Bat rocket grenade. KAREN: It's all there. RICK: I just find it amazing. Do you like Batman? Yeah, he's not the best superhero, but he's all right. What's your favorite superhero? The greatest superhero of all time, Superman. - [sighs] - Uh-oh. I'm not with you on Superman. Superman is what Batman pays millions of dollars to be. And guess what. Superman was born that way. Batman, all you need is a little kryptonite, and Superman is nothing. So what do you want for this? 17,000. Holy something. That's a lot of money. Gee whilikers is the proper terminology. Gee whilikers? Yeah. All right, my toy guy is just one block away. I'm going to give him a call, and we'll get it figured out from there. That sounds good. I'll be right back. Batman is way better than Superman, hands down. I'm not saying that Batman is not cool. I'm just saying Superman is better. Batman is, like, a super cop at best. Super cop? Yeah. Batman was pretty cool, man. Yeah, he's pretty cool, but he's not a better superhero than Superman. I mean, Superman kind of was the reason that the Batman show even got made. The Superman show was running more for, like, little kids. And they decided to do this Batman show, which was geared towards teenagers. But it fell back to little kids. So the Batman Utility Belt. This sting is amazing. Can I take a look at it? Yes. RICK: I would've been so cool when I was six years old if I had this. STEVE JOHNSTON: I'll tell you what. To Batman collectors, guys, this is the holy grail. It was a toy so it wasn't necessarily meant to hold up. And a lot of these didn't because what happened is you opened it up on the way out the store. You ripped the belt out of the box. You put it on before you even got in the car. But this is in incredible shape. It has not been removed. It has not been played with. There's no stress marks on it. The only one thing that I see here is there's a little bit of paper tear right there off the box. RICK: Yeah, it's pretty neat. But the thing is, she is asking $17,000 for this. STEVE JOHNSTON: I've seen the belts just by themselves, the most common pieces to find, sell for thousands of dollars. In the case of this, I think you've got an absolutely great piece. You have tons of Batman collectors, tons of superhero collectors, so you can't miss on the market. I think you have no problem getting $16,000 for this. Yes. Thanks, dude. STEVE JOHNSTON: Yeah, thank you. Amazing. Chum. All right. STEVE JOHNSTON: Have a good one. This thing is incredible. All of the toys are immaculate. Everything pops. So I think the shop's going to have no problem getting $16,000 for this. I'll give you 10 grand for it. Oh, no, no, no. I would consider 15,000. You'd still make $1,000. No, I wouldn't make any money. If I worked on margins like that, I would be out of business. I will give you $11,000. 12,000. No. 11,050.? No. $11,000. Anything more than that, it's not going to make any sense to me. OK. All right, deal. Sweet. Chum will meet you right over there and do some paperwork with you and get you paid. [inaudible] No, don't touch. You're not gonna touch it. It's not gonna fit you. It says 32 waist. OK, what do we got here? I've got two items from the greatest cartoon of the '80s, "ThunderCats." All I know about "ThunderCats" is, like, I know Corey really, really liked "ThunderCats." CHUMLEE: I bet he rode something like this in his little "ThunderCats" underwears around the neighborhood. I can just see you chasing him. Get back here, son, and put some pants on. [laughter] [cat screeches] SEAN: The two toys that I have today are the "ThunderCats Thundertank Pedal Power Cycle and the ThunderCats Tongue-a-saurus figure. Both these items are pretty rare. I'm asking for 1,000 for each of them. They're definitely worth around what I'm asking. RICK: Obviously, it has something to do with cats. CHUMLEE: Basically, it's some cats, and their planet got destroyed. They were always battling these reptilian humanoids. OK. CHUMLEE: So are you a fan of "ThunderCats." Oh, yeah, I've been a fan since I was a kid. And I've been a serious collector for probably about 10 years or so. RICK: So where'd you get them? This was from another collector. It's just been sitting in my collection room, so it's never been ridden. I mean, you're not going to find one in better condition. RICK: What is this? This is the Tongue-a-saurus. It was basically a monster that was in the cartoon maybe two episodes. It still works. You push the tail out. the head comes up. The tongue comes out. It grabs the little other characters. OK. How much do you want for this stuff? I am be looking for 1,000 for this and 1,000 for this, so 2,000 total. Let me call someone who knows something about this. It's sort of out of my realm. I'm not sure how many adults will spend money on these things, so I called in my toy expert, Steve. Hopefully, he can tell me there's a big ThunderCat following that will make it worth my while. STEVE JOHNSTON: Wow, this is cool. CHUMLEE: I'm glad someone can appreciate it. STEVE JOHNSTON: Got a call from the guys to come over and check out some "ThunderCats" toys. As soon as I walk in and I see who the collector is, and I'm like, this guy has to be a "ThunderCats" purist without a doubt. So you got the "ThunderCats" pedal cycle. This thing is very, very cool. When the Big Wheels were actually produced back in 1969, I don't think they ever planned licensing for them. And so as you got into the '80s, they started licensing anything they could and turning them into a Big Wheel. You had GI Joe and Barbie, Masters of the Universe. The Tongue-a-saurus-- it's actually not finished. So the original prototypes of this toy actually had arms because in the actual show, the Tongue-a-saurus had arms. And his arms were really short, reminiscent of Tyrannosaurus Rex, and T. Rex arms. What happened was, the toys actually came out in '84. The show didn't air until '85. They couldn't get it produced in time to get it done. But they wanted to have the toys out for the holiday season in '84. And it's considered one of the rarest production figures from the line. RICK: So what do you think of these? The condition of the bike is pretty good. It does have some scuff marks and a little bit of wear. Overall though, it's a really nice example. They're usually tore up. The paint is almost always scuffed. And the back of the seats are even usually missing. And the Tongue-a-saurus is the expected condition for one that would be out of the box and maybe have been played with at some point. What do these things go for? Individually, the Tongue-a-saurus is something that collectors clamor for, especially from the action figure side. I think you can get $700 for it. The Thundertank cycle, you could do $1,100 on this one. So I think in total to expect $1,800 for the pair, I think, is reasonable. Very nice. Very nice. All right, well, thanks, bud. STEVE JOHNSTON: Yeah, no problem. In the '80s, it was all about licensing. You were the cool kid if you had whatever it was from your favorite toy line. I think if the shop took a chance on buying these, they would find the right buyer. That collector's definitely out there looking for these. Would you take a grand for all of it? 1,000 bucks. I can't do a grand. That alone is worth over a grand. Well, can you do 15? No. What's the best you can do? We could do 1,200. We got a deal? Chum. Do not listen to a single word he says. It means nothing. I'll give you 1,100 bucks. You can't do any more than that? That's all I could do. I can't. I can't do 11. Sorry. Thanks for coming in, man. SEAN: Thank you, anyway. I don't get you sometimes. Chum tried to help out, but Rick just wasn't having it. And I understand that he needs to make money here. But the Thundertank alone is $1,100. I just can't do that. I brought you a box of Popeye water pistols. CHUMLEE: Like Popeye the Sailor Man? Like Popeye the Sailor Man. Did you eat your spinach today? Yes, I did. [laughter] [boat horn] I brought some Popeye water pistols to sell. The water pistols are in good condition, and the box, for its age, is in real good condition. I believe the water pistols, they were made in the 1930s. I've never seen another set. So I figure they're worth quite a bit. CHUMLEE: I think these are pretty cool. Do you mind if I open them up? No. Popeye's pretty cool. He was pretty popular in the '30s in the comic strips, movies. Basically, he was just a sailor, and he used to just like go around and save Olive Oil and all these different situations. And he was known for his corn cob pipe and his muscles and-- Spinach. And his spinach, yeah. He ate his spinach to get his power. I actually made my dad go out and get me cans of spinach so I could be strong like Popeye. At one point, spinach sales were even up, and they gave Popeye the credit for it. I'd rather have the guns since I had the spinach [inaudible].. Me, too. Once I opened that can of spinach, I never took a bite of it. How much do you want for these? I'm asking 1,500 'cause I think they're pretty rare. I want to see what this box is and see if this is all real, or if you just have 12 separate guns here with a box someone made. OK. So do you got a little bit of time to hang out? I could go call someone down, and he can come take a look at this stuff. Sure. All right, give me just a minute. OK. Old toys do really well in the shop. But I'm not sure if these are actually Popeye merchandise. But I'm hoping they all check out because I bet we can make some good money. Man, these are cool. You'd fill them by dipping them down into the water, pulling the trigger, and then expanding it. And it would fill the barrel with about one trigger's worth of water. [laughter] You were constantly refilling it and shooting these things. The Popeye story is really funny because, like, in 1929, the comic strip came out. And then in '33, it got adapted by Paramount. And Paramount started making short films. It only took four years to go from comic strip to the big screen. So why is Popeye on the box, and he's not anywhere on the gun? STEVE JOHNSTON: Recognizable character. In marketing and in advertising, especially with toys, it was either the cartoon character or the comic strip. Because it has the box and it's the complete set that the retailer would have received, it's really an interesting piece. Yeah, well, what kind of value would you put on this collection? With it complete with the box, you have all of the guns. There's one of the inserts there. And the box is actually in relatively good condition. I would say you'd have no problem getting $2,500. All right, well, that's all I needed to hear. Yeah, no problem. Yeah, thank you. Appreciate that. Yep. CHUMLEE: Well, I bet you'd liked to hear what he had to say. I did. All right, well, how much do you want for them? He said 25. Let's try 22. 22 is going to be way off the mark that I'm going to be able to pay you for them. They do have a value of 2,500 bucks, but I have to find someone that's willing to pay 2,500 bucks for them. I'm at your $1,500 asking price. No. How about 17? I can't do 17. I'd like to do 16. Well-- At the end of the day, I have to be willing to accept less than 2,500 if someone walks in here and offers me 22 or even 21. I have to get them at a price where I can sell them at that. Well, I'd like for you to do 1,650. 1,650? I think that gives me plenty of room. Let's make a deal. - All right. All right. Blow me down. All right. Yeah. I'll meet you right over here. Thank you. Chum and I, we finished off at 1,650. I'd like to have got to 2,500. But I'll take the 1,650. What do we got here? We got a "Good Guys" doll. COREY: Chucky, from the movie "Child's Play." MATT: Everybody refers it to Chucky. But it's actually a "Good Guys" doll, a little bit more rare. COREY: Got. it. So where'd you get this? MATT: I got it as a gift from my buddy. His children are so afraid of it that he can't even keep it in the house anymore. I can relate. [laughter] [screaming] MATT: I'm at the pawnshop to sell my "Good Guys" doll that was a prop in the movie, "Child's Play." If I'm able to sell the doll, I'm going to give back the money to my friend so that way, he can put that money into a college fund for his girls. COREY: I remember when I was a kid being scared as hell of this movie when I saw it. A lot of nightmares for a lot of kids. COREY: "Child's Play" was the typical '80s slasher horror movie. MATT: Yeah. COREY: It was a serial killer that got killed in a toy store. And he was somehow transformed into one of these "Good Guy" dolls. Yeah, they did some seance and put his essence into the doll that turns into Chucky. Yeah. And it just dies a million different ways and just keeps coming on back. It's classic. COREY: And then there was "Child's Play 2," 3, "Bride of Chucky." MATT: "Bride of Chucky." And they definitely have a cult following. When you watch them now, they're almost comical. But when I was a kid, it was absolutely terrifying. It wasn't, like, that scary. It was a doll. [sighs] He's such a nerd. COREY: So it's not an actual doll, is it? No, it's a prop. In the first movie, they go into the toy store, and there's a whole mockup wall of multiples of these. Are you sure this was actually in the movie? Because the store blew up. Like, I know most of these, if not all of them, probably got destroyed. I mean, do you have proof this was on screen? MATT: Yeah, the maker of the doll gave me the certificate of authenticity. It shows that it was in the first movie and the second movie. And that's why too, it's not a perfect box. Like, there's damage because it was part of those scenes. OK. So what are you looking to do with it, man? I'd like to sell it. What are you trying to get out of it? I'd like to get at least 8. 800? 8,000? 8,000. COREY: 8,000? OK, it seems like quite a bit, man. I know there's a collectors market out there for these things. I just don't know how much those collectors are willing to pay. I'll tell you what. Let me call my buddy, Tall Rob in. He's a props expert. He can definitely shed some light on a for me. Sounds good. Thank you. He was just trying to get away. He's scared. [laughs] COREY: So Tall Rob is coming down to check it out and tell me if it's actually legit. CHUMLEE: Check it out. Immediately recognizable. Very cool. I would like to know if it was one that was actually used in the movie or if this is just an extra that they had laying around. You know, because I know in the movie "Child's Play," they all got blown up. ROB: You're correct. In the movie, most of the dolls are destroyed. But they made numerous dolls outside of that scene because if that scene goes bad, and they need to do it again, they certainly have to have more product to put in the scene again. He does have this certificate of authenticity if you want to take a look at it. ROB: I happen to know this gentleman who created the doll. He's a huge special effects artist in Hollywood. So for him to put his name on a certificate of authenticity, I consider that legit. What else can I tell you about it? What's it worth? It's a background prop. The significant value of items are in the foreground props. The dagger that he used to slice and dice up people with is a foreground prop and would have significant value. Background props are fun, collectible for sure. Overall, it's in excellent condition. I believe in today's marketplace at a competitive auction, this doll should bring somewhere in the neighborhood of $5,000. COREY: I appreciate it. You're welcome. Good to see you again, Corey. COREY: OK, so now, what would you take for it? I don't know. I mean, 7,000? He said if it was a really competitive, good auction, it could go for 5,000. That being said, I'm still paying about 30% in fees. I'd like to offer you 1,000 bucks for it. Yeah, we're-- I know we're at completely different ends of the field on it. My bottom dollar, 6,500. I mean, I can go up to 2. Yeah. Um-- I just-- I don't think we can do it then, bud. I'm sorry. COREY: All right. Well, I appreciate it. Come back if you change your mind. Bye, brother. I appreciate it. $2,000 is just too low. I think that if I just did my own digging,
