When it comes to classic toys, Fisher-Price is at the top of the list. Founded in 1930, the popular child’s toy line came to fame in the 1960s with their incredibly popular Little People line. These vintage Fisher-Price toys featured adorable little figures packed inside fun and educational playsets. While most of the toys were staples in households from the late '60s up to the early '90s, it turns out those old toys you used to play can sell for a pretty decent amount today.

I had the castle, the cash register, the house, the garage, and the farm. I drove my parents crazy with the mooing door, but I loved it. My absolute favorite was the houseboat, and I vividly remember taking it all over the world on various expeditions that took place all over our house. Wish I still had all of them.

We also have the record player with all the records, and we listen to it EVERYTIME they come over. I have the Farmer in the Dell running through my thoughts all day...😂😊

As a kid born in 1999, I actually grew up playing with a lot of these sets from my older siblings (my oldest sister was born in 1979 and she had hand-me-downs). My mom sold all of them about 6-7 years ago and I’m still mad about it. What a cool piece to still have for my future kids.

A lot of vintage toys are worth big bucks today. Mainly b/c back in the day kids took much better care of their toys. You can find almost mint condition ones still out there. Can’t say the same for most of the toys from the 90s and beyond unless someone bought them specifically to collect, and didn’t let anyone play with them. Kids don’t generally respect their toys today. I know we did growing up as you didn’t get replacement toys, so you played with them but also wanted them to last a long time before they broke. I want to catalog what toys remain and sell some off. We got originally Star Wars, transformers, cabbage patch dolls, my little pony, hot wheels, gi joe, etc. at one point there was a Sesame Street fisher price apartment building play set with all the characters but I think it got sold at a garage sale years ago.

Thanks for sharing this video, I happened to have grown up with the entire Little People sets featured here. I recall a few friends getting the cash register when it was new. I used to setup the Village near the Play House, across from the Barn, to create a little cityscape, which kept me entertained for hours. When we outgrew these toys, Mom asked us if we'd mind them being donated to a family in need at Yuletide. We agreed it was time to let them go to a new family, who we understood were delighted to have them. That said, it is remarkable how much some people are willing to pay for those old toys today. As such, I'd imagine they'd be surprised to learn how resilient those toys were to being submerged in the simulated floods I'd create for the Little People to navigate. Just like the real adults I knew were dealing with real flooding, it was my childlike way to process some scary things.

I am a collector of Little People sets. I grew up playing with them and am collecting them as an adult. The McDonald's Little People set is my holy grail, but I won't spend over $50 on any set. I was 5 minutes too late getting an almost complete set on Facebook Marketplace for $50. I also really want the McDonald's Drive Thru. I wanted it so bad as a kid and never got it, but once again people want too much for them. My mom bought the almost complete castle set and I found the missing pieces for her so it is complete now except her carriage is missing the yellow piece. If you have the mail envelopes from the village set. They go for big bucks because they were the first thing to get lost I am assuming. My village set doesn't have any of the envelopes and there is no way I can afford to replace them.

I've made good money off my GI Joe's, but I turned THOUSANDS flipping my extreme death/black/thrash metal shirts from the 1990s. Even with holes in some, people didn't care and paid 10x the amount they cost initially. Glad I listened to my friend when she said "wash cold, inside out, and never put them in the dryer. Line dry 'em, man... they'll last forever!" Thanks, Rayshele... best financial advice I ever got!
