What are we doing?
Going through these spiky things.
You're going through the spiky things?
Yeah, going to an antique store.
We're going to an antique store?
Yeah.
The Lakeland Antique Mall?
Yeah.
Our local antique store, huh?
Yeah.
And one of the best ones here in Central Florida.
Yeah.
Let's go check it out.
What is good, guys?
We are at the Lakeland Antique Mall,
one of the best malls in Central Florida, and actually
one of the best antique stores, I think,
anywhere that I've ever been, really.
They have an extensive collection of vintage Disney props,
Universal props, all kinds of
little Florida knickknacks and things like that.
I have a picture.
Look, there's a castle, and him, and a fairy.
Yeah?
Yeah, a Mickey table.
I like that table right there.
Do you like that Mickey table?
Yeah.
That's pretty cool.
Where's it from?
Maybe it's Doug.
Mickey wooden entry table.
It's not actually from somewhere.
Usually they're from like resorts and things like that.
If you see it inside of the store, they have a lot
of resort things from Walt Disney World and that kind of place.
So, yeah.
Very cool artwork.
Oh.
They used to have a Haunted Mansion piano here a couple weeks ago.
An organ, actually.
Not a piano.
An organ.
Let's check over here.
Lemon.
Yeah.
I love how they have all the different booths set up.
It's like an old...
Reminds me of like an old kitchen.
What's up?
Look, that's a cup by Mickey Mouse.
That's by Mickey Mouse?
Yeah!
I don't think that's Mickey Mouse.
I think that you're confusing that with something
that's kind of an Epcot in the Japan Pavilion.
No!
Go on, look for some more.
Come on.
Let's go.
What?
I...
Do I like these cups?
You like the blue glass?
Yeah.
Yeah? There's other glass here that you like though.
I know that you like the other glass here.
We'll show them in a couple seconds.
I found this red glass in here.
Yeah, I like the colored glass too.
Yeah.
Lots of doggies here.
To drink or something.
Old pictures. Makes me feel like I'm in an abandoned house.
And look at this.
That is a cool seat.
Yeah.
Very cool seat.
I guess this one broke, actually.
Well, it doesn't have a cover for it.
It would definitely hurt your butt.
Kind of reminds me of, like, a grill.
Like this?
Yeah.
See, this place does very well with the Halloween stuff.
They actually had a couple of these cool pieces.
I really like these pumpkins.
I might grab one of these today.
I really do like these pumpkins that they have here,
but they do go along with the seasons
and all that stuff and it is August right now,
but around here it's starting to brew
up for Halloween and they do have lots of Halloween stuff.
It's $60.
It's $18.
Yeah, it is $18.
Yeah, but look at these doll parts.
I think they put down creepy doll parts for Halloween.
Yeah, weird.
You get hanging from the trees.
I've been to a lot of abandoned places that hang
dolls and doll body parts from the trees.
Yeah. Those look super creepy inside the tree.
Thank you, thank you.
Torso thing right here. This guy. Yeah.
Hey, this looks like from Toy Story.
Yeah, it's kind of like from Toy Story
when Sid took apart the toys, right?
Yeah. Kind of funny. This baby actually looks kind
of like that big baby guy from Toy Story.
Yeah.
Look at that rocking horse.
That's pretty cool.
Oh!
I actually like rocking horses a lot.
Nice, you know.
Very nice.
Oh!
Even I can go on a denim roof.
Old wood one.
For you.
Has like a mop hair on it.
Nice leather seat.
But it's broken.
Yeah, it has a broken leather seat.
But it's still nice.
I found this.
That's binoculars.
Binoculars, yeah.

Alright. I like that guy.
I think we can bring
these home. I have a pair
of binoculars at home. Do you know what it is?
It's a, it's a

And for a movie.
Yeah, it's a camera.
For a movie.
Yeah, that's right.
Wow, cool vintage G.I.s.
Yeah.
I love those blow molds.
We saw him last time.
Very cool, old vintage G.I. blow mold.
Love these traffic lights.
This is one of my favorite booths because it is very old looking.
Hello.
It does remind me of an abandoned house.
All the lighting, the vintage Christmas tree right here.
The uranium glass or Vaseline glass, I call it uranium or Vaseline,
depending upon what kind of mood I'm in.
All this stuff over here.
What's going on, pal?
I found a truck.
Of course you found a truck.
You always find a truck somewhere.
Yeah, with all the old trucks, little toys and knives, toy guns.
What?
Totally reminds me of abandoned houses
that I've been inside of this whole time.
Daddy, I can't connect it.
You can't connect it.
It's broken.
It's just for show.
Yeah, very cool. I love these old decoy ducks.
So fun. It's a fun little booth right here.
But I do found this tractor. Really? Really?
Neat stuff. Come to find the Star Wars stuff, right?
And Daddy comes to look at all this other stuff, right?
And these clothes. Oh, we have t-shirts
here? Yeah, I actually have this t-shirt at home.
Oh, a propeller, yeah. Somebody burns it and break
No, no need to save her.
It's a plane to a test.
Well, I think that's either to a fan or possibly maybe a boat,
but more than likely it's to a fan.
Yeah, or for an airplane or something.
Yeah, well we can imagine it's for an airplane.
One of my favorite things, this uranium glass.
Yeah, me too.
I really like this.
Oh, wait a second, there's a marble set in there.
Yeah, they have a marble set in there too.
Yeah, very Haunted Mansion-esque.
Really love this stuff.
Oh, that's it.
Very expensive.
We saw this yesterday.
I got to get my hands on some of this stuff one day.
But look, we saw these yesterday.
Oh, these are all over Florida.
And here.
And here.
Yeah.
Yeah, what are you looking for in here?
A robot.
Yeah.
Or some tunnel springs.
Oh yeah?
Ooh, that looks spooky to me.
I think they got a couple new things over there actually.
Yeah.
We didn't see these little R2-D2 guys.
We don't need anything like that, but that's it.
Blue BB-8, you can get the discount merch here,
lightsabers, all the special lightsabers that they make.
They're probably discounted pretty good.
I'm not too familiar with these high-end lightsabers.
They actually have Twilight Zone, they're not really animatronics,
they're dummies and things like that.
Eye of the Beholder set.
Very cool.
Twilight Zone stuff.
I'm very much into Twilight Zone.
This is kind of like the only thing
that I see like Twilight Zone-y around here or anything like that.
So, very cool.
Fred Flintstone.
Creepy face right here.
Obviously, this whole get-up right here.
Cool Halloween decorations back there.
Very cool.
What was that?
What's that?
What was that?
That's cool.
Very cool.
I believe that's from the Tower of Terror.
It looks like it's from the Tower of Terror.
Like a key box from the Tower of Terror.

This is probably one of my favorite little areas right here
because all the skeletons,
all the basically the pirate creepy cool skeleton stuff I like.
There's Spider-Man up there.
More creepy stuff. Lots of things from Halloween Horror Nights.
Obviously, like I said before, it's the Halloween season.
Probably going to see a lot more on display
from Halloween Horror Nights, but they
also do regularly have a lot on display from Halloween Horror Nights
because it is one of the cooler attractions, and it does rotate
frequently, so these guys are able to grab them more frequently.
Really like that ******* guy back there.
What's going on, pal?
Come here, look.
What did you find out? A seat? Yeah. She keeps taking seats, man.
There's so many seats. This one's from the All-Star Resorts.
A Disney Resort. It's a hidden Mickey log table from Saratoga Springs.
Oh! More resort furniture. Very cool stuff.
If you had like a log cabin or something like that,
to have some cool Disney Saratoga Springs stuff inside of here,
especially these hidden Mickey tables,
I think these would be awesome inside of a log cabin.
Very cool stuff.
I really like these lampshades.
Look at this robot!
The Terminator, huh?
Oh, look at all those bodies.
Lots of skeletons and bones, skulls.
He's even got one right there in his hand.
What'd you find?
A fighter jet.
Of course you did.
You love fighter jets too, right?
Yeah.
Anything with wings, really.
Anything that flies, goes through space
or the sky or anything like that.
You really love
that stuff.
This is a very cool light, but I was just looking up there
at the Spanish Moss Man and also saw this creepy guy right here.
This guy is very cool looking.
Also, that spider, his butt has like a pumpkin face on the back of it.
That's that spider right there.
But this Batman, he's really cool.
I really like him.
Eyes glowing and everything.
And the Betty Boop right there.

Who are those guys?
Storm Troopers.
And?
And Chewbacca.

This is a very cool area for him.
He's able to pick up some of his Star Wars collectibles
and things like that that he
likes to play with around the house nowadays.
So we've come here.
Every week or so, just to see what maybe they pick up now
and he can play with.
He likes going through this little back wall right here.
They have special cases.
These aren't as much as some of the other ones
in those glass cases over there, but you can see the...
Special boxes that they have.
Oh, whoa.
I didn't even know this.
You're sitting here talking to Darth Vader the whole time?
Yeah.
What's going on, dude?

You're not going to tell me that Darth Vader was over here, man?
Yeah, but I turned
the spaceship over here within the spaceship.
Oh, you let him out of the spaceship?
Yeah.
Man, when you opened that up, you let Darth Vader out of the spaceship.
Yes.
You've got to be kidding me, man.
