The Five Idiots return for another episode of Wins and Wiffs! This week, the gang unearths some serious treasure. The wins include a rare haul of Uruk-hai figures scored from a Lord of the Rings Lego set, a beautiful high-grade The Hobbit comic, and a popular Logan Paul WWE Elite Collection wrestling figure (a family win!). Brandon also shows off an incredible custom "Toxic Limbs" Bosk figure gifted by a fan, which sparks a fun debate about what should qualify for the "Win of the Year" board. But not everything goes right: Charles shares his "wiff" of a valuable, sealed Lego Lord of the Rings set that arrived crushed in the mail after a long shipping delay from Canada, leading to a discussion on shipping and refunds.☎️ Leave a question, comment, or show idea on our new FITT Voicemail line: (732) 800-19770:00 - Cold Open0:37 - Welcome to Wins and Whiffs!4:11 - The Hobbit Comic #2 (CGC 9.8) Win5:31 - Epic Lord of the Rings Lego Figure Score8:08 - WWE Logan Paul Elite Wrestling Figure10:11 - Toxic Limbs Bossk Gift15:21 - The Wiff: Crushed in Shipping18:25 - Final Thoughts & Outro#LegoLordOfTheRings #LoganPaul #wweactionfigures #WWE #WWF #TheHobbitComic #FITT #FiveIdiotsTalkingToys #Lego #WrestlingFigures #StarWarsCustom #ToyCollecting #CollectibleHaul #CustomToys #ActionFigures #thehobbit #LordOfTheRings #wweelite-----------------------🫶 Support our #podcast through Patreon, and get early access to #toycollection previews, exclusive #starwarsactionfigures video content like Rated-R collector episodes AKA "Five Idiots After Dark" & our regular episodes before the public:https://patreon.com/FiveIdiotsTalkingToys👍🏼 Follow us on social media!

In this episode of Five Idiots Talking Toys, the crew dives into one of the most controversial topics in the action figure community: Is opening a sealed, vintage toy an unforgivable sin?The debate is fierce! We discuss the collector who compared opening a Mint on Card (MOC) figure to "poaching ivory," and we go around the table to see how each idiot feels about breaking the seal on classics like Vintage Star Wars figures, including the dilemma of busted blisters, rare Tri-Logo cards, and the famous Last 17 figures. Plus, we explore how different communities like LJN Wrestling collectors handle the "open or sealed" question and the complicated process of restoring figures (bleaching and yellowing plastic!).Join the discussion! We want to hear from you in the comments: What’s your line? Would you open a $300 figure if the card was already trashed?☎️ Leave a question, comment, or show idea on our new FITT Voicemail line: (732) 800-1977Find us on your favorite podcast app!0:00:00 - Intro & Channel Shoutouts0:03:00 - The Vintage Toy Opening Controversy0:05:55 - The "It's Yours, Do What You Want" Argument0:09:45 - When Does Package Damage Make it Okay to Open?

Is the new MrBeast Lab Mutators toy actually just a box of trash? This week, the guys are fired up about excessive toy packaging! It's not about the toy itself; it's the giant pile of plastic and cardboard garbage left on your floor after a 5-minute unboxing. In today's episode of Fivie Idiots Talking Toys, we talk about the new Mutation Chamber and break down the shocking amount of single-use plastic required to get to the action figure. While the figure itself might be cool, we have to ask: Is the "experience" worth the landfill waste? Let's discuss the problem with modern toy packaging gimmicks. We talk about the biggest offenders, from modern surprise toys like LOL Dolls and #mrbeast Lab Mutators to the gigantic boxes for Marvel Legends and DC Multiverse action figures. Plus, we dive into the nostalgic #toypackaging of vintage Star Wars and debate the actual value of saving all those boxes!What toy packaging drives you crazy?

The Five Idiots sit down for a massive discussion to predict the state of the vintage toy collecting market in 2026!We dive deep into: why Star Wars prices are finally stabilizing (and dropping 25-30% on full collections), the need for collectors and sellers to pivot away from solely classic Star Wars figures, and which new toy lines are unexpectedly hot (Dukes of Hazzard, LJN Wrestling, and video games like F-Zero).The hosts share their personal strategies for buying and selling today, emphasizing the importance of pricing items at current market value—not outdated "COVID-era" prices—and why always learning from other collectors at toy shows and flea markets is the secret to finding the next big trend.

The Five Idiots are back with a Holiday MAYHEM special! 🎄🎁 Lord Walden (John) has planned an affair, a jamboree, a jubilee... about the nine most chaotic toys in history! We're talking absolute holiday anarchy, both in the toy aisles and in our homes.We look back at the biggest Christmas crazes that had parents getting trampled, reporters doing insane stunts, and toys getting straight-up banned. From the interactive pets that took over classrooms and the secondhand market, to the dolls that nearly caused riots, to the toys that literally caught on fire—nothing is safe from the Five Idiots discussion.Grab a seat (and maybe a helmet) and find out which toys caused the most chaos!0:00 - Welcome to Holiday Mayhem!

It's time for Wins and Wiffs of the Week! Brandon checks in from Hawaii, but can't find any toy shops. Chris and John show off some hot collectibles, including an awesome GI Joe lunchbox and the new Marvel Legends X-Men '97 Cable figure.The conversation quickly heats up as the Idiots notice a huge drop-off in YouTube comments and try to figure out what the audience really wants to talk about (Spoiler: It's all about vintage toys and grading!). John also dives into why the new X-Men '97 figures are already tanking in value and unleashes a hilarious rant about a trip to GameStop after 27 years.Don't forget to stick around for the end where Charles issues a public challenge to any viewer who wants to screw up his workflow!0:00:00 - FITT Intro0:01:06 - Aloha from Hawaii: Brandon's Win (No Toy Shops!)0:06:33 - Lego Star Wars: Collecting All 1600 Minifigures0:08:49 - Vintage Lunch Box Win: GI Joe with Thermos0:10:48 - Why Our YouTube Comments Vanished (Despite High Views)0:12:08 - John's Marvel Legends X-Men '97 Cable0:13:06 - Why Are X-Men '97 Figures Tanking in Value?0:14:00 - Our Wild GameStop Employee Rant0:16:56 - Wiff of the Week: Charles's Still Missing Accessories0:17:33 - The Comment Challenge: Charles Needs Your Hate!#XMen97 #MarvelLegends #LegoStarWars #GIJoe #XMen #PodcastRant #GameStop #ToyCollecting #WinsAndWiffs #ToyHunting #FITT #Marvel #actionfigures -----------------------🫶 Support our #podcast through Patreon, and get early access to #toycollection previews, exclusive #starwarsactionfigures video content like Rated-R collector episodes AKA "Five Idiots After Dark" & our regular episodes before the public:https://patreon.com/FiveIdiotsTalkingToys👍🏼 Follow us on social media!
