[Music] perfect [Music] perfect perfect so I’m back with another video and man today I’m at yilu on 96 which is the wholesale Toy Market in guano and on top of that it’s the biggest wholesale Toy Market to my knowledge I mean there may be another one but this area has a few buildings that does wholesale toy to domestic and international now you probably don’t see anything crazy but a lot of these cool like toy guns that have like water bees action figures Ultram man and all that stuff that’s what they have here now I’m going to walk through this market and when I first come here I go to exit a and you’ll probably recognize it right away because if you come in summer woo smells a little fishy cuz right down that street over that way towards hyu square is the wholesale dried fish market so uh yeah got a a little bit of a wafting smell as you walk here but anyways we’re going to walk around bunch of guys here trying to give rid to people come on EXA looks like the construction they’re doing is uh a little more finished but yeah you can see across the way there’s some dried fish over there but that’s not where we’re going we’re going to the intersection after you exit the metro to way and you head this way and uh a little bit on that side but the main two things things I believe is uh cross this way up the walk if you can head down that way there might be one building and then there’s this building right here so we’re going to stay around this area so one building over there that has the the wet Market on top and this main building right here so this is where we’re going to head we’re going to go in and we’re going to look at all the wholesale toys they have to offer so come with me let’s go on this adventure let’s get it okay so I said I was going to head over that way but quickly I wanted to come over here because I saw some bikes and some little fun things I mean we got these scooters you see the two and three-year-olds always riding with the three wheels on it and then you got a heck a lot of basketballs and other little skateboards and stuff like that anyhow you got some bigger scooters in back and roller skates look at these nice tiny small things but yeah first off getting your kid in shape doing some exercise and that type of stuff uh yeah that’s the stuff I like to see getting kids active go Outdoors head around woo over there oh yeah no let’s not focus on that let’s um uh check some robotics out here we go before I’d always see RC cars so like 48 R&B that’s pretty cheap 10 bucks but I mean no actually that’s kind of expensive still yeah you got robotics tanks big things but then you also get into like the drones and that’s what I love to see oh that’s pretty cool you got like a robotic jet yeah hello yeah just got a kid in the back there I’d be worried about buying like uh robotic Jets and like drones up like that and the kids flying it in the house crash it into the TV or I don’t know maybe an outside Type Toy bring to the park yeah they got some screen protectors but not what we’re looking for here we got little small collectible things yeah some revolving toy guns are they oh they open up I thought they’re Transformers for a second but not really got some 20 knives just a bunch of accessories got elastic guns I love these things those those things were the best in the school but nowadays if you brought uh some fidget Spinners those some toy Knuckles you want to bring these to the pray ground and punch your friend with them but as saying with a lot of these toy gun stuff oh yeah a lot of these toy gun stuff uh in the west um even when I was going to school if you brought this to school then uh it get suspended You Like A Nazi gun Chinese style Ruger whatever W I forget the name of that gun A

stall now you got some package stuff over here maybe they have some of that super Po and karumi or uh eggy party those some collectible little things open it up course as it comes out yeah got some action figures in the back Superman like model kits almost like Lego but uh not really let see some type of stuff I there battle carrier yeah in this market sometimes you’ll see a lot of products that have like especially when it comes to the action figures it’s got the wrong names on it it’s good for a good laugh no this is really popular cinnamon roll Kitty stuff now when I see people working I just I let them be you know they trying to organized stuff oh look at this Firepower guns shoot the water beads you know a lot of kids uh swimwear some water guns here I I should buy the big one I do need a water gun for the pool in summertime lady grabbed the calculator think I’m going to go in on I got a perus around a bit first come on give me a break don’t let me uh don’t don’t let me jump to the gun hold your horses a little who store and yeah okay so this is not the main Market I like to go to this one is got we going anyways but it’s got a lot of like Dollar Store stuff in the bottom and stuff to cruise around but stay tuned till later on in the video when we get to like my favorite building it has all the action figures and stuff that drone and party type stuff here so yeah it’s still pretty cool got a minigun looks like it carries the water beads as well Captain America shield some stuffies first Pokemon toy I’ve seen the Mew Eevee on there My Little Pony cards Collectibles Ultram man stuff right there’s the eggy party I was talking about this one the squishy one hole it apart oh they got the uh zombie what’s it called uh I forget the name of the app but uh oh you guys comment in the section below what’s the name of the app zombie something you have the toys for it now a lot of these card games uh I’ve asked kids I’m like okay how do you play it cuz you know I grew up playing Pokemon and even the Digimon card game and then there was a card game uh for the WWF now w e which was amazing I love the mechanics of the game and so I grew up playing card games Magic Gathering um but uh when I ask the kids how to play these games they they kind of lost for words like what we play the games we just uh we just collected KY keychains like yeah we just collected or we just like the card so I don’t know um not really much to do so oh yeah this place is pretty big got a few aisles upstairs is a wet market like I said I find it kind of funny but I mean I guess the locals near the area to uh go shopping we got some glow sticks in here clubing time um I don’t know I would say I’m too old for the club but are you really ever too old for the club to go out party listen to music dance I don’t think so mini Legos Al got some Beyblade type stuff right there now car thing that people love kids TV show there a mixture of everything magnetic darts the mag the darts yeah it looks like it’s sticking it looks like it’s good but when you actually try to play that and you throw it it just is it’s not it it’s those things don’t stick there’s another store over here that’s got like accessories are these accessory handcuffs yeah little kids handcuffs with nud hole on it Spider-Man so those place is like the knickknacks of toys I mean you got some toys you got keychains you got accessories got some Stanley Cup type things is that fad still going people still going crazy for Stanley or did it was it like a FP thing stress toys yeah squishy I have no use for that get my stress out in a let’s say another way go to the gym to do [Music] that passport holders I I do need one but uh I would get a not just a soft one get a nice one maybe I’ll come back one day but I don’t know with my other videos you guys you know maybe I go to the coffee Market get a coffee designer one I don’t I don’t I don’t really support that so probably not but I mean there’s always options right oh these are pretty cool it’s the you can draw on it it’s like a drawing pad almost like we had back in the day yeah okay so take our first gr around this way point lot different keychains there look packing up to take an order out some masks so the Halloween Market is actually just around the corner from here at Hy Square that’s kind of more the seasonal market so when the season hits that area is filled with different things so when it Halloween you find tons of costumes and props when it’s Christmas it’s got Christmas trees and decorations and this Christmas I’m going big I’m going there I’m uh getting a bunch of the blowing snow globes and stuff like that uh I’m looking forward to it what the heck we got here we got some the shoelaces what come with the shoelaces I’m always you know looking for different colors on Tau not really here got some these uh wrist braces elastics LeBron James wrist bands on there too some St stuff so anyways I’m going to head out of this Market this is uh not so big we’re going to find the the main one let let’s hook around the corner here quickly before we do that got some cares cuz the main one is uh it’s more compact I’ll maybe s batteries over when I get uh get over to that one look at these oh they got some flashlights wonder if they’re high powered how many lumens I have a great flashlight back home in Canada for when I go camping it’s I forget the range of lumens but it’s up there it’s in like the top 20% of best flashlights you can get spent a pretty penny on it it’s powerful but it’s it’s nice and pocket size it’s not the the best one you can get is like large and like it just floods the light like a flood light literally um the wherever you shine it but I didn’t really need one that big I just you know being in Canada when you go out to the parks like G Quinn the worst thing you’re going to run into is a black bear which I’m not scared of but it was in Vancouver with the Grizzlies and yeah forget that but we got uh some more connect type things what’s that I don’t know it’s not Lego but it’s like a connecting it’s not bricks it’s like long type side things those are pretty cool more toys on this side yeah let’s head on to this one um find the main one and once I find the main one it will kind of get me situated more about where the market is and I keep saying main one but it’s not really a main one it’s just a different one can any of these markets really be the main one um oh this is cool okay wait let me step aside here first so in the bigger one I go to they have a lot of cabinets like this with all the action figures and stuff on the side so oh here we go Electronics on this one just got like these little electric handheld so from my understanding these things used to do really well in like the third world countries the countries where people weren’t buying systems and consoles unless they had money um but uh with the upgrade of the cell phones all the smartphones and people being able to down like emulators and ROMs and stuff these small handheld on games it kind of phased out um I I think I mentioned it before so everyone can just emulate stuff now on older the technolog improved so far the old stuff allows you to play some pretty fun games some pretty decent stuff obviously it’s not the newest latest but uh you get some anyways okay we got to find the other market so which way am I going okay maybe I head down okay we really got to get situated here let’s head over here first we got a lot of puzzles and small games like that puzzles always fun you got Rubik’s Cube these little things those are fun when you’re a kid I always like uh you know taking a challenge to them yo-yos I missed the Omega yoga era when I was what grade was I in when yo-yos were back in for again I mean they were big when my parents were young but uh they came back with the brand Omega or yo yega I think it was I forget but one of those Brands came back really uh did some marketing for yo-yos and popularized it again oh here we go we got the little kids dancing Cactus it’s cute yeah but this is definitely the wrong way that I have gone to the market I was trying to [Music] find but I’m going to hook a right there’s some boats in the back now if the price is right for those drones that might be something like to get your kid into photography right maybe you don’t want to risk the money and spend uh on a DJI for your kid but you get one of those drones if it’s like 500 R&B or you know less something like that and uh I know you can uh spark an interest in them I’m pretty sure this is the wrong way where I’m going but I’m just going to do a circle around and head back to uh the other area well the the closer to the Metro some sticker printing [Music] here a lot of bottle wrap St to chip toys out in the eggs on the other side so it’s a little mixture of everything here okay and from what I remember there’s snacks and like some great pretty good fruit over on this side when we were here last time my buddy bought an apple or something like that and okay yeah there’s the fruit market there little fruit shop you got some stuff over there to the left okay maybe I’m when I come right out here maybe I’m going to be right in front of that uh that market I wanted to go to so we’ll see yeah people actually live on top of this Market I just realized it’s uh condos or buildings or whatever you want to call it then that must be the one there with uh with the Market on [Music] top this is one one of the markets where my brain hasn’t clicked and be like yeah this is this is where we need to be well we’re going to frog it across the road and just follow this old lady these old ladies are the best frog so look for this AG in there they’ve been able to cross without any injury let just walk through this one right now and then we probably the last one will be the one that was most interested [Music] in let’s go check some of these gun and stuff so that’s pretty cool Goku so once again I’m not really into anime I liked it as a teenager but like it’s a Time investment right it’s um I don’t know there’s other things produced I like a lot better but yeah time and money to be invested into anime and that Ty of stuff I just don’t really have the time for it these people doing business got some cars in here now car are always a popular thing right they always money it looks like the wet Market is uh oh they must be on break it’s like 2:00 or something like that so yeah wet markets usually close between two and uh four or five there’s a lot of cars so a lot of the time the cars they have the English on the bottom of what model it is they probably say the same thing on the side of the boxes I don’t retin these this shop is massive we got all sorts of card sets in there but when people are doing business I don’t like to kind of walk in the way I let them beo big Lego see can Titanic Lego guns those are pretty cool Lego barar bricks oh that’s pretty Lu cat a picture of that the old bear bricks are pretty interesting also but uh I need to build this um a display cabinet in my house right now we don’t have enough space really to display anything like that and my wife has a bunch of Lego and she’s just I don’t know little at a time oh star union the X-Wing Fighter but so yeah and then the Harry Potter train just called Magic it’s probably his storage area for a lot of the Lego he just got stuff all over the place now A friend of mine did ask to see some uh some die casts so this place has a lot of model kits then before they had uh I’ve seen they around a bunch of places but they had um the braking bad the RV posted over here before they’re asking like 160 R&B like 30 Canadian dollars like 25 USD for it so I was like I don’t know why that’s asking so much for that but okay here we go we got a lot more toy guns so usually these toy guns are all over the floor but kind got the stuff together right now snipers [Music] AK-47 this stuff is cool as an adult though um if you go on top out the Aerosoft that they have here now there’s so many amazing like replicas like it’s I thought replica guns were illegal in China just because you know guns in to are illegal but uh man they’ll blow you away the replica airsoft guns that they have here it’s it’s tempting for me to start collecting once again got to put your money in a wiser place oh no we got the Lakers toys ankle breakers Hall of Famers he closed up shot today see some of some people you know they’re just taking it easy oh this guy’s got a bunch of hot toys it looks like crazy toys I’m pretty sure those are a copies of hot toys which are very popular Hong Kong based toy models um you’re into this type of stuff you will know hot toys are where it’s at step in have a quick Ultram man you guys paying for something by uh Al ch I’ve been doing circles just going back and forth so this still isn’t the place that I’ve wanted to go but this I’m glad I came here because it is one of the places I wanted to find I’ve come here before um for school I bought a bunch of toys here before for my students as like end of the year parties oh this is the place I wanted to go because they have hot toys Ste for second so this is it this is the the hot toy stuff it’s crazy I love how you can change the accessories on the items alien Predator stuff I mean you guys can go and Google hot toys right now and see the collections that they have the details on these things is amazing this is tra uh Terminator the details are Arnold T1000 and stuff like that he’s crazy you got Metal Gear soil down there at the bottom that is so tempting they did like a hot toy series of Grand Theft Auto characters then I would definitely be on to that um that’s that’s the one that would probably make me buy it but like Marvel Universe and other stuff I know I don’t really get into it the Star Wars stuff is tempting too but there’s so many Star Wars pieces that you don’t want to fully get into it and then you know but the the old classic Batmobile oh that’s good I remember right outside is it in this window that we passed so yeah there’s some Star Wars all the bu Fett see The Bu Fett stuff that’s like that’s right up my alley but uh yeah I am not going to uh start collecting all that and then we got the Bane with the right here got his vehicle RoboCop that stuff is the cool so right here you have like authentic stuff and over there in that shop you have the questionable uh you know questionable pieces and yes this stuff is imported it is authentic so at this Market you still might see some replica stuff um but you’ll also see like straight from Factory licensed authentic stuff what I didn’t see a lot of today was the Lego copy Legos there should be one other area where I go later where I go upstairs and they have more things to look around but yeah I’m going to cut for now and try to find that one other shop go upstairs and have a look as I was walking as I was walking came across the place got hot wheel [Music] break yeah they have the Hot Wheel tracks up the top also now that stuff has been replicated counterfeited a lot um so I don’t know those could be authentic or they could be a dup could be a cop not just I’m going to head down this way for a quick walk head back I’m still I’m I’m confused where is that one last shot those guys got tall al man plants for zombies that’s what it is plants for zombies that’s still from the previous Market let duck in the window or Goose okay so this is definitely not the way we’re heading back the other way so I’m pretty sure that place used to be the toy Market a toy market and now it’s another dried fish market so if it is we’re going to cut right here to Chinese New Year when it wasn’t I mean that’s what we’re looking at right there across so uh if it is we’re going to cut there that’s some Fabrics here oh yeah lot some fun here just just looking [Music] 40 40 what’s that eight bucks how much do Funko go say 12 or I don’t know I don’t I don’t buy Funko so I can’t get into that I know guys that had like 2 300 and they’re like oh I’m going to stop collecting this now like yeah then they never stop they can’t stop like the mooji or yeah for the except you can download all those RFID codes yeah fighter figurines Curry James fighter four damn I played the at Street Fighter 4 take so they got the elf one over here and the Chucky and dungeon and Dragons oh there’s more Street Fighter 4 kaai his face so big take his face off of I mean I think it’s just action figures his face is broken his hair is broken I think you can change his hair oh yeah it doesn’t come with any other pieces so maybe not which way did we come from just go with the back and around see oh people are shutting down for the day yeah yeah I guess that’s what it was uh well see the last sh that are open miniature Foods got to sell a lot of fluffy keychains to make rent the key s string bags did we miss this like how did we Captain America shield forse Hammer look at that Statue of Liberty the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen nice how to do Sons oh look at that the Vegeta Dragon Ball Z Vegeta what is it just the light it’s just the light with the cutout layers light yeah light stand yeah Michelle for your gaming dis or streaming display think they’re all shut down they clothes closed I think they’re just shut down cuz it’s fire went home yeah got some nice dinos does she know or her son runs it or something her son’s like need something to she needs something to do so she watches the shop they just need to know the prices you got a Minecraft action figures more bblades beades [Music] this a back corner but I think that’s it after we hit that one last just boot one of the dinosaurs across the hole they really started to overdo it with the fake bear bricks here that’s what they did man it Trend in the west and then they just copy and overdo it I think the trend actually picked up here a lot too though and then became artsy right but it makes me believe all the ones at G or whatever G Chen is is all cofy too that’s figures 2K9 no not look at Kobe’s face oh my God I know the face so cool look at his neck and his face here it’s yeah look at him come on look at his face look at Kobe’s face that doesn’t look like Kobe looks like a monkey dude got Mr Potato Head but it’s Marvel it’s yeah they probably do but Toy Story right they had to buy the rights in order to put them in the Toy Story or maybe maybe it’s so old they didn’t need I think it needs to be over 100 years or 50 years something like that I think it’s no you can like renew it every after like 30 or 40 years you can renew it oh keep renewing the license and then I think after 100 years Star Wars special action figures they try to make it look like the classics yeah Final Fantasy 7 book some BO I mean I can put high heels on LeBron I don’t like him anymore I used to really like him but then it’s just he just needs to retire man he’s just trying to make it so he has the most points or whatever and no one can ever surpass him like said he wants to play with his son but his son’s not good enough to play in the NBA next year and like you have the power to say okay he’s not good enough but you’re going to just take him on the team yeah Ninja Turtles in the back there all right I was really hoping to find a box of Pokemon booster cards I guess it’s not as it’s not popular to export you think it would after the huge blow up during Co Pokemon yeah what do you mean popular export where oh The Fakes nobody wants fake car nobody wants to F car yeah they do I don’t know Middle East or something kids too yeah people trying to trick people into buying it you can find fake Pokemon on amazon pretty easy yeah so you people people that collect Pokémon don’t want yeah I know that but like there’s always people trying to get one over on people and you would think they would export them holy that’s that’s why you think you would find them [Music] here toys what’s AST what’s his name yeah Astro I think that’s [Music] it oh that is cool yes [Music] that’s ugly but that’s that’s true 70 yeah plastic one it’s [Music] decent most likely oh maybe not oh look at this got the Disney I think this shit’s realos [Music] say they like oh here quick let’s take a look this place has got a lot of family stuff say these electric cars a Lamborghini for the 2-year-old for the toddlers some bikes and stuff like got scooters there now the cars if you went to kanton fair you saw ones that were way nicer but hey it is what it is anyways let me head down this uh I guess it’s down this alley I I’ll bring you guys with me oh there flies a there I think right ahead sometimes I go down his back out these people get shocked and they like oh no not that head see no G ah she’s here it’s renovated yeah always renovated this stuff is all [Music] new my C is horrible
