Published 2023-01-22
Welcome to the pilot episode of Toy SOS. This is something I've been wanting to create for a while - it's The Repair Shop meets Car SOS but for vintage toys.
In this episode we meet Steve aka darby_collector on Instagram who has a vintage Tyco Dino Riders T-Rex from the 1980s in need of repair.
Can it be restored? We'll find out from Steve's reaction when it's revealed to him!!!
Steve can be found at www.instagram.com/darby_collector/

Great premiere episode! Its VERY RARE to see Dino Riders repairs on Youtube so its a great choice for the 1st episode. You gotta hand it to the engineers who worked on these toys, and you did an excellent job on the repair.
-
Great video, thank you. Love seeing restorations of 80s toys!
-
This was literally like a tv episode, loved the format, fortunately love the toyline in the pilot and Steve looks like a very happy chappy! Can't wait for more!

Great resto Dave, always in trusty hands.

Wowsers what a Jurassic fix. You're a genius Dave. Love this new format. Count me in for my Hoth playset still.ππππ
-
the constant referring to it as a "vintage" toy really made me feel my age... π π€£ But that ending made me really happy. Awesome restoration.
-
What an excellent video! Iβve got a TRex thatβs very stubborn too, youβve given me some motivation to try and get him moving again π
-
Nice work! It was a great thing to see the fix! Sound seems better on your videos too!

This is TV show worthy. Like I was watching a quality series on National Geographic or so. Excellent πππ

Amazing concept buddy works really well. Great restoration, you're not the only one who will be hunting for this lineππ

Great episode I really enjoyed that.... If only there was someone who could get my Z force tank running correctly π€π€£

Ah man Dave, this is brilliant. I love the reality show feel and if you remember from our podcast, it's a line I would get into. I have the pilot episode on VHS.
-
Really like this Dave β it's like the Repair Shop for geeks! I look forward to seeing more of these (and I'm frantically thinking of anything I might have that could be repaired!)
-
Great resto Dave, really good to see this beast up and running again (literally)! A very nicely put together video. Excellent stuff! ππ

That was fantastic Dave. Really love the new concept and it worked out so well. The fix was astonishing, getting to see you stripe down the T-rex and work over each part to find the problems. And on the reveal you could see the delight on Darby Collectors face at the results. Great guy and so happy you were on hand to restore such an amazing vintage toy.
-
Great episode. Went from T-wrecked to T-Rex! Super job Dave.
