furbland's birthday bus bash (or something, i dunno)

Firmland's Birthday Bus Extravaganza. I don't... Let's get, let's get going. I bought a lot of buses. I don't... That was all the seller had, so I decided to get many of them. So that's, that's what we're gonna do. That's what we're gonna be doing today. I do have some batteries. I'll probably also need a screwdriver. Hold on. Nope. Alright, let's just hope I won't need any screwdrivers. Hold on, I'm gonna check one more time. Nope, alright, let's just hope I won't need any screwdrivers. First up, Music Tour Bus. It's the only one that's got a box, if I'm not mistaken. For as... Model number 0307. Looks like it's printed in a different font, so it's probably just a generic box template they used. Sold at whatever store this was sold at for an entire $8. And... Ooh, I got a red one. There it is. A lot of these are very old, like early 2000s type stuff, so I can't wait to hear... A chiptune version of It's a Small World seven bajillion times. A Lambada. Whoa, it's got one of these switches. It's got a little arrow switch. It's pointing. Battery compartment is very oily. Alright, so, can't wait for locked motor. Oh no, this is gonna be a fucked compartment, isn't it? This is gonna be- I'm gonna need R6Ps for this. Gonna cram some alkalines in there and pray to God that it does the due. I'm gonna pray that they fit. I don't know why this is something that I did not predict. I might be able to run it with three. That might work, also. I might be able to do that. Think I'm gonna have to- wait, hold on. We've just about made it. It's very close, but we've just about made it. Alright. Yay. Let's see if we can unlock the motor. Well, it's affecting the pitch of the song, so, that's good. Yeah, we are turning the motor. Look, the lights are coming on and off. I'm just gonna turn it, maybe without having it on for a little bit. Has that fixed it? No. Alright, we'll set this one off to the side. It is a tour bus, and it does play music, so that is- They made good on their promise there. Grab a random one. Oh, this one's a double-decker. Double-double-decker bus. Right. Michigan. That's a cool place. I like Michigan. I think most of the stickers have fallen off this one, but this is one of them Nova buses. That all the kids are talking about. I believe. It does. These all have the stickers and the listings, so I imagine they've just sort of floated down to the bottom of the box. I'll have to find some and put them all back on. As is tradition. Most of these things. It's got something 8 on it. Is that bad? Neutral. I believe most of these battery compartments seem to just be barely fitting. No. Sticker fell off. Right. Let's see if we can- If we can't not jumpstart this. Unlock motor. Yes. Words. No, we cannot. Okay, cool. Neat. Let's see, this is a lot of failing to unlock motors, I've noticed. So far, most of this is just consisting of me not being able to unlock various motors. So hopefully, hopefully this is a change in that whole travel bus This one also has a little pointy switch. It only takes two double- Oh, the speaker just fell out of its hole when I set it down like that. Alright, that'll be great. Love hot glue. My favorite. Awesome. Some hot glue. Hopefully nothing disconnected. Something disconnected. Alright! Cool. This isn't going very well so far. It's fine, it's fine. I'm sure we'll be able to fix all these. I'm very good at fixing tactics. What's your deal? It says the inanimate object. Coach transport. That is generally what they do. I think this is meant to be, yeah, a pier. Don't know where this goes. Very clever way to cover up a little molding hole. And by very clever, I mean I've seen about 70 other ChinaFed buses do it, so I'm not surprised. This one's, this one's used. It's got, it's got wheel gunk. It also smells very good. And by very good, I mean very bad. Smells like dust, is what it smells like. I'm surprised it has all of its stickers, though. That's something. Man, we're chewing through batteries like nobody's business. What's here? It's a small warble again. Don't know what that song is. Also, it has come to my attention that the position marked on on the switch is off, and the position marked off on the switch is on, which is why it was set to what was supposedly the wrong position. When I was set to this position. That's, that's gotta be the best wheel screw I've ever seen. That's, that's amazing. I kinda don't want to run this on the ground, because I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to get rid of that. Oh, I unlocked it. Funny. Alright, cool. That's enough out of you. Uh. Now what? This guy. Gray pink. Oh. It's a tearing out thingy. I believe this one's slightly newer. Uh, just due to its overall appearance. Great, good, good wire. Good wire there. This just seems newer to me. I think this is going to play actual sampled songs, and not random chiptunes. I hope. That would be a refreshing change of pace. Not that I don't like old chiptune stuff, it's very mean, but. A vocal chip in this lot. Just one would be cool as well. Every time I put batteries in these I'm like, is it going to turn on without me doing it? Do anything? They leave the switch in the wrong position, but now they seem to be pretty good about that. Oh. Well. Got away. I can see the. I can see the gears in there, so if I had a screwdriver I might be able to unlock it. I'm going to go on my search again for a screwdriver. I shall. Oh. I'm doing my quest. Oh, there it is. Okay. Problem solved. Crisis averted. All is good in the world. Okay. Took a while to turn on, I guess. It's going to say all is not good in the world, but nope, all is good in the world. Now I just have to figure out which gear to turn to make it do the thing. Do the thing. Do the thing, I say. Well, there's the, there's the, what looks like a motor gear. That's probably a direct line to the motor. That'll be our best bet. Here we go. Oop. We're opening the door. Doors are being opened. Split gear. Are those? Those seem like mechanical lights to me. I don't. I think they are, because they're stopped when the door opens. That's neat. Because I'm pretty sure this chip has non-mechanical lights. Motor still needs to run for a bit. Chip doesn't sound too good. That guy won't go back in now. Looks like that has a split gear. I'm going to have to look at that. That's neat. One of these is going to conceal a molding hole, I bet. I betcha. No, I guess not. Alright. Fair for the sake of being there. Door closed again. Guy went back in. I'm going to say definitely a split gear. Now it's time for this guy. These are all from one seller. I don't. They must have some real good dollar stores. Oh boy. Oh, I dropped it. Hopefully that hasn't dislodged any more speakers. And immediately as I say that, there's the speaker. Same. Not same, but perhaps similar battery compartment. I thought this was broken. No, they're just... The doors are just part of the floor. Alright, cool. Why? Batteries. And inevitably speakers that do not work. I'm assuming this one was hot-glued in as well. This seems to have a similar underside. Same company, maybe? I don't know. Oh, that's a great noise. Okay. So, I heard it. I heard it start beeping. It begun its beeping. However... The speaker seems to be pretty far in there, so it's not really making any noise. I'm setting them in left and right areas, but I'm not really doing that for any particular reason. I'm not organizing them or anything. I'm just putting them there for the sake of them being there. It's another bus. Wow, who'd have thunk it? I don't think there's a single thing in this lot that isn't a bus, actually. Comfortable bus. Yes, that is. There's a baby there. There's a football. Infant bus. Sure. Someone's tried to poorly glue this sticker back on. Has it worked? Eh. Yeah, I don't know. Is it meant to go onto the door like this? Because the other one is identical. Maybe it is. Who knows? That is... This thing is just smothered in glue. That's not going to fall off, is the good thing, I guess. Good tab. Man, they just put some stickers in. No one knew what kinds of batteries to use. Instead of just, like, you know, printing it, or molding it, or doing any form of other... I can tell this one's old, because they were still using the term UM3. Ooh, good. Good compartment. Fun compartment. I'm assuming that these were all, or are all, part of somebody's private collection, or various private collections. Because a lot of these don't seem to have been ever run. This is evidenced by the large amounts of oil on that one. Somebody just bought them and was like, Hey, cool, a model bus. I don't know what these wheels on the bottom do. I'm not going to put batteries in it, because I'm a boring person. Honestly surprised it took this long for us to get one with a kiss chip. I was thinking this was pre-kiss era, but... I guess this is... This is probably, like, right on the... Right on the verge of the kiss era. I'm gonna try and unlock this one. Someone's opened this before. Someone's been in here. I don't know what that is, but... Looks to me like someone's been in there. Might also just be... Factory... Lace. I really hope we can... Unlock this one without having to take off any of the stickers. Or without having to open it up, because... A lot of this is very much glued on. Which... Makes me think, actually, that this hasn't been opened up, and there's just lace in this from the factory. Which... Very strange. This is weird. It's got that weird static coming from it, that some kiss chips have. I don't know why they do that. I guess it's just cheap resistors and such. This time yet again, for more buses. Like this one. I find it interesting how some of these are packaged in a way that they just slide right off and then some of these you have to just like undo copious amounts of tape. Copious tape amounts. Now it's time for Vacation Tour Travel Service Bus. Wow, this is very old. This is a real old one. Toyo Toys. Wonder where they got that logo from. How does this open? This is one of those things where you just shove a screwdriver in the crack. Because I don't have a flathead. So I can't really... Whoa, it's got a thing for the bump and go. That's fancy. This is a somewhat fancy bus. Auto door. Goes from Ocean Park to Airport to Hotel. Very cool. I'd imagine that turns on it's own because there are little gears on the side. I'm curious as to what this one will play because it seems in some fashion more professional than the others. It's got stop and go buttons for the... Somewhat fancier bus. Very much still a China fake but somewhat fancier. Moonlight Madness. Oh. Well I figured out where that decal goes. Super Racer 5. Another bit of NOVA. A lot of batteries. I need to grab another stick. Another battery stick. The good thing about these is you can just break them off. Man, I love stickers that are falling off of things. It's great. The thing is that I think I've got one of these. So I'm wondering if the sticker might have come from that one and not this one. You never know. Funny moment. Funny little bottom moment. God forbid we unlock any motors today. I mean, we got one. That's all that matters. We got one of them. Alright, we're gonna do this guy next. Don't know what his deal is. Aside from many things. Enjoy a sightseeing. Thank you, I will. Bus sightseeing car. Have a good time. Thank you, I will. Oh, we did need a screwdriver today. There's a screw on that one. It's an oddly small looking switch, but I'm not sure if that's just because of the way it's molded in there. It's actually a very small switch. You may never know. I think this one takes three double A's. Yep. I'm awful good at recognizing the amounts of batteries things take just by looking at their compartments. You can just look at the size of them and know. Provided it's a double A's. Not many triple A china fakes out there. Put the screw back in here. I'm turning into one of those early 2000's sourcing channels. Open up the battery compartment and put the batteries in and spend like half of the video doing that. That's the fuckin' where are we going dad theme song. Also, chip controlled motor. No, it just took a second to unlock, nevermind. Browse the big cities. This is probably the newest one we've got. Quite cool. Europe, here we come. I know what this one says already because I've seen it in the listing. I just bumped my camera. And by my camera, I mean my iPad. Professional filming setup, I know. XD 616819. I was gonna say 6189. Or I was gonna say 6... Fuckin' I don't... You understand what I was trying to say. I was gonna say one thing. I was gonna say the right thing and then I tried to... And then I was gonna say the wrong thing. And then it turned out that I was saying the wrong thing. But I thought that the wrong thing was the right thing. I did it. This one's got a battery trick, very cool. Certainly cannot cause chip damage. What the fuck? Sorry, hold on. What was that chip? How do we unlock you? Craziest part is that I've heard this recording before on some channel. It was like, you know, this comes from some... I've seen chip thing. But I didn't think it would come from... I didn't think it would come from... China fake. It seems too advanced. There's sort of a gap. Between, you know... Basic chip tunes and, you know... Sampled sound. I was unsure if that gap would ever be bridged. But here we are, I guess. And now, the moment you've all been waiting for. The elusive broadcast bus. Everyone's seen this thing everywhere. It's very old, but nobody's ever bothered buying one. And so there aren't really any good videos of it. Or any videos at all, as far as I'm aware. It takes seven billion fucking batteries, I'm sure. It takes two motherfucking C batteries. Okay, hold on. I have to get two... I have to get two fucking C batteries, I guess. They're Codex. Or I have obtained them at Goodwill. Oh my god, they're D's. Oh my god, they're not even fucking C. They're D batteries. This thing takes two goddamn D batteries. Is it broadcasting an actual fucking TV signal? I don't think I have those. I might. Here, I have two. I don't know if they're... Okay, they are... They are not... Both... Different... Batteries. They are the same. They have the same gate code on them. We are good. This one's got a little thing that makes the wheels go up and down as well. A little wheelie thing. Is that just a standard feature on comically large China fake buses? Don't know. Who the fuck hit? Beijing? That's what it says on there. That's enough out of you. Alright, that was my bus. Those were my buses. Thanks for watching. Bye.
