the motion sensor was lowkey fire when we were kids i’d put these things everywhere so whenever we would have a nerf war i’d know exactly were everybody was

I loved "spy gear" so much that I became a literal intelligence officer when I grew up....only to learn that there are no gadgets and just a bunch of power point.

I remember constantly thinking: “Oh my god! How is such high technology being sold in Walmart?! This is like beyond military grade, what??”.

I just realized this series is “the toys that made us” of the niche toys we grew up with in the 2000s

7:38 "This is not meant for an adult". I can confidently tell you it was not made for kids either, my big brother had it, he was 12 and I was 9, and whoever wore it had to take it off due to it horribly pressing our temples, it felt like the glasses were trying to crush your head

Story time:
I was the spy-kid generation.
We had team-VS-team matches with friends, but often we'd just spy on our family.
We were using a periscope and listening device to try and see what out parents were up to... In their bedroom... At night...

My dad kindly asked us not to spy on "mommy and daddy when they were alone".
I asked why, and he told answered "Well... what if we're wrapping birthday presents?".

I didn't know how close I was to spying something that could only be erased with years of therapy.

True story: I once owned the spy gear night vision goggles like in the video, then in 2003, when I wanted to dress as a Jawa, my dad hacksawed off a pair of orange medicine bottles and stuck them over the goggles' lights. It was awesome. He even threw in a prop ion gun made of cans and duct tape.

I can't put into words just how influential the early 2000's "spy" obsession was for my childhood and the person I was. I had my bedroom alarmed and booby trapped. My friends and I would meet up in hideouts and discuss things we found, or ideas we had about the neighborhood. When we couldn't afford or weren't allowed the fancy toys, we made our own. High tech digital communicators and ID badges made from cardboard (none of us had any cellphones at all). Secret weapons made of planks of wood and industrial scrap.

So fun story about Spy Gear.

Back in the early 2000s my friends and I were hard into the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG. Spy Gear had a metal detector. And back then all the good YGO cards were foil. We would raid Targets, Toys R Us, and buy booster boxes and use the device to pull all the foils. For the booster boxes, we would get all the foils and sell the other packs.

Good times.

I remember I heard my neighbors having sex with spy gear.

"Without the threat of inciting diplomatic chaos"
No, the chaos is exactly why I wanted to be a spy.

I remember having one of the spygears.
Having the “Satellite Listener”

And as a kid, I was shocked whenever I heard a radio signal and just heard music.

It was even worse when it literally picked up someones phone connection.

[TheVANITYKILLJOY]

I had the spy goggles as a kid and I remember waiting till it was dark and laying on the grass and turning them on and realizing they didn’t work as advertised I got up and walked to my apartment and being like “man now I look stupid”

The audio listening device was for listening through walls, not listening to things far away

[writersblock]

As a kid, no one could convince me that Carmen from Spy Kids' "Oh, shi...take mushrooms" wasn't the best line in cinema.

[TheHouinMark]

Imagine some guy living in a shady ghetto neighborhood and actually using these as security equipment.

This channel covers all the things from my childhood that I thought I was alone in experiencing. It's crazy.

Thank you for making all this.

I remember spy gear. The snitch in my elementary school used the toys to his fullest extent to the point where he had dirt on everyone. Wonder how he’s doing nowadays.
