How about this example.

it is based on https://www.learnrxjs.io/operators/utility/topromise.html

//return basic observable
const sample = val => Rx.Observable.of(val).delay(5000);
/*
  convert each to promise and use Promise.all
  to wait for all to resolve.
Maybe is a little too fancy (await and destructuring assignment).
*/
const [promise1, promise2] = await Promise.all([
    sample('Promise 1').toPromise(),
    sample('Promise 2').toPromise()
  ]);

//output: "Promise 1", "Promise 2"
promise1().then(val => {
  console.log('Promise.all Result:', val);
});
promise2().then(val => {
  console.log('Promise.all Result:', val);
});

for now I would just add a hint. If we use stackblitz one could add a proper example with async await
