Corey: Hey, how's it going? Doing great.
How are you? Looks.
Like you got a lot of stuff.
Yeah.
Tell me, you didn't rob a toy store, man.
Tell me what you got.
Here.
DANIEL: I have all the toys from "Toy Story." And, no, I did not rob a toy store.
OK.
DANIEL: I'm at the pawn shop today to try and sell my toys from the "Toy Story" collection.
I started.
Collecting these toys in 2009.
The condition of my toys have never been played.
With.
I think the set, in general, I find really cool because it really brings the movie to life.
I'm, looking to get $1,175 for my "Toy Story" collection.
COREY: Crazy movie for its time, man.
It really, really was., "Toy Story" came out in 1995, and it was the first full-length digital animation, film.
That's, pretty amazing.
COREY: I.
Remember the first movie really well.
You know, Buzz Lightyear.
He actually thought he was a real astronaut., You know, "To, infinity and beyond." And.
Then Woody wasn't the cool guy anymore, Buzz Lightyear was.
It was one of those movies where adults and kids could relate to, and I'm.
Assuming that's where a lot of its success came: from.
Yeah., COREY:, I mean, it's been, what, 25 years, and this is still going on., I mean, the fourth one was the highest grossing, one of them all yet.
So we got Buzz Lightyear.
We got Woody.
We've got Mr., Potato Head.
I, forget the dinosaur's name.
Rex.
COREY: Rex? OK.
DANIEL:, Yes., COREY, (VOICEOVER): I know these were originally made for kids, but now it seems adults are really into collecting them, especially the certified ones.
So.
You got COAs for all this stuff, or? Some of it.
Back.
In 2009, they came with the Toy Story Signature Collection.
So Woody, Buzz, Jessie, the green aliens, Bucket O Soldiers, RC, and Mr.
Potato Head all came with a COA.
COREY: OK.
Give me an idea.
What are you looking to do with it? I'm looking to sell it.
And? How much are you looking to get? 1,175.
OK.
I know that certain collections of these toys can be worth a lot of money, but you have so many pieces.
Here.
I, don't really know how to price this.
All out.
I've got a buddy right across the street, owns a toy shop.
He can give me an idea of what this stuff is.
Worth.
Do you mind.
If I have him come down and take a look at it? No, that sounds good.
COREY:, All, right, well, look around.
I got some pretty cool stuff in here, myself.
And, I'll-- I'll be right: back, OK?, All, right, I'll do that.
Thank you.
DANIEL: My biggest concern with the expert.
Is that I don't have all the pieces still in the box, and that could lower the value.
COREY: Got quite a bit for you here, today.
STEVE, JOHNSTON: What, a great collection.
"Toy Story" was great because it's the first time that Disney and Pixar worked together.
And.
It really kicked off what we see animation today in movies.
And, just think of what they did.
They, took the child's imagination and put it on a screen and brought all of those toys to life for you.
And.
They had great actors: involved.
You know.
You had Tim Allen, who was coming off of his hit with "Home Improvement,", and he was such a recognizable.
Voice.
You had Tom Hanks, who had just come off: "Forrest Gump." Took $50,000 to play Woody in the first movie, and 5 million in the second.
You had the great Don Rickles playing a character like Mr., Potato, Head., The, pairing of the voice actors to the actual toys that were put on screen was perfectly fit to appeal to both kids and their parents.
And.
You know, collectors clamor for this stuff, and there's tons of editions because of that.
COREY: I know he said something about a Signature Collection.
What.
Do you know about that? STEVE JOHNSTON: Disney knows merchandising, and they didn't miss a beat with the merchandising for "Toy Story." The Signature Collection is supposed to be kind of like the Cadillac of them, where it's the best made versions to date of these toys.
What they did.
Is they put them in special collector boxes, with little COAs, just to kind of identify that they were a collector edition.
Because? That's how it was sold, to be a collectible.
So.
Is there any one in particular that stands out to you? Woody is the most collectible.
This Woody in particular, is actually going to have more phrases than any of the other editions of Woody to this point.
And.
The voice on this actually isn't Tom Hanks, it's actually his brother.
Really? STEVE: Yeah.
It was cheaper for them to go and get him to voice it.
Instead of bringing Tom Hanks in to voice it at that point.
DANIEL:, Interesting., Very, cool., COREY: So, give me an idea of what a collection like this could be.
Worth.
STEVE: Well, you know, it's funny, because you've got a mixture of toys, here., Bullseye, Jessie, even the Woody, would actually have come out from the Signature Collection.
However, because people bought them to collect them.
There's a lot on the market that are actually still brand new sealed in the box.
A purist collector is going to want to have really mint boxes.
Plus, some of the toys that you have here, they're, newer editions that are still being produced today, direct at retail.
Like, for example.
The phone, I can get it brand new for around $15 to $18.
COREY: OK.
So all in all, the whole set up here.
What are we looking?? Steve: You know, if everything was from the Signature Collection and in the original box, I would think you would have no problem getting somewhere between $1,500 and $2,000 for the entire collection.
As.
It sits, because of the items that have been opened, and that some of the editions are newer.
Editions that are fairly common to find in these collections, I would expect that you would only be able to get $400 for this collection as it sits.
COREY: Not.
What I was hoping to hear, man, but thanks for coming down.
Yeah, no problem., Sorry., Good, luck., DANIEL:, Thank, you., I kind of got a feeling that wasn't what you were hoping for.
No.
It wasn't! What I was hoping for.
You know, for me to make any money off this, man, I'd offer you, like, 300 bucks.
DANIEL: 300.
Could you possibly do, like, 350? I'll go 325.
OK, 325.
Got, a deal? DANIEL: Yeah.
All right.
Head around the corner.
Someone will write you up.
You might want to order lunch or something because there's a lot of stuff to write up.
Here.
DANIEL:, OK., COREY:, All, right, I appreciate it, man., Take, care., DANIEL: I didn't quite get my asking price, but I'm happy I made the sale.
I think the toys will go to a good home.
