+deck444 Every episode of Pawn/Storage/whatever ever: "Can I get 200 for it?" "mmm... no, I'm looking more at 100 bucks" "175?" "125?" "mmm.... no, I can't go any lower than 160." "How bout 150?" ....... ..... **tense music** "Deal!" **shake hands**
The barbie doll and diamond-encrusted hot wheels car shouldn't count. They were promotional one-offs that weren't made publicly available for purchase. Plus, it's the diamonds that gave them any value, not the toys themselves. This list is a bit flawed.
+Daniel Ackerley i think its not relevant for the collectible value o for the average collector , i think this one is for millionaire barbie or dolls collectors like. cause first, theres a only one of the kind and second, shes a basic barbie with diamonds on it, so its no creative or uni0ue for me, i think barbie #1 1959, is more valuable in terms of nostalgia and very hard to find o in this case very hard to pay the last time i saw her in ebay she was in 20 thousands or something.
The Matchbox "Tan Crane" under honorable mention originally was sold by me, Charlie Mack, owner of the Matchbox & Lesney Toy Museum in CT on Ebay for $10,000 in 2000. I paid $10 for it. It went to a German buyer who sold it again a few years ago at an English auction house for $12,000.
I'm a little confused by this list, for one I don't agree that a trading card is a 'toy', so that Pokemon thing was just a wasted space... Secondly nobody could ever own prototypes, they weren't intended for mass production. I just thought this list was going to be comprised of things generally available to the public, though valuable through smaller quantities and desirability. This one was just all over the place...I mean if it was a list exclusively of prototypes that would've been neat but the mixing didn't work for me. More often than not the stuff they didn't produce is more amazing than things they did.
I actually disagree an former employee sold an guy called JT michael an actual prototype to an toy Never released but intended as a toy for a back to the future 4 toyline
I don't know if number 1 should count on this list. The product is Barbie, yes. But this one is a specially made variation who's accessory (Her diamonds) that give her her value. She is not a variant toy made for mass production or planned for it.
Out of everything being mentioned, I think that the diamond-encrusted Hot Wheels car is by far the most impressive. A little too expensive for my blood, but boy that this impressive as I'll get out! Truly, yes!
It's not worth that much until you sell it for that much. Collector's market can easily crash and once very valuable doesn't always stay valuable because people who collect certain toys they grew up with die from old ages. Baseball card market crashed because of that reason. Economy have a lot to do with fluctuating collector's market also. Another factor is market manipulation of collectors items. Just because it's sold at that price, it doesn't mean you can sell it for that price. Just try to sell your diamond ring you bought for 10,000$. You'll be lucky to fetch 2,000$
@@oddjob4212 Toys like these don't turn my crank. Maybe Metal Matchbox cars from the 1960's, Dinky or Corgi classics Maybe. But not plastic crap memorabilia. I prefer Vinyl records
I get that. Records are a smart investment,and when you like the music on them it adds more than just monetary value. I like to collect cards and antiques cause they have a history to them.
I had the He-man and Battle Cat. I had most The he-Man Toys. onlything I didnt have was Castle Grey Skull and that Eternia base. I had Snake mountain though. But like most They are in a dump somewhere. Younger siblings suck sometimes lol

Some of those toys.. except the ones with diamonds may lose their value after some centuries when all the generations that known them or love them are dead. Most of those toys have high value because of nostalgia.. and you wont feel nostalgia if you didnt know about those toys and its origin
Actually those Royal Blues sell in the 500-1200 range with mint tags =) The Chef Robuchon Beanie Baby is the holy grail. Worth $5,000-10,000. Released in 2006 for ONE day and only given to invited guests of Chef Joel Robuchon's restaurant grand opening in NYC.
every time I watch these I catch myself being stuck between real memories and the Christmas time fantasies of my early years. Either way, thanks for the rehashing of some fond memories...
the scooter that I rode at my childhood,,,was worth only some dollars,,,but the fun and happiness I got from it is the most valuable thing for me,,,but now,R.I.P my scooter
This is why I started collecting figures and statues. =P my family complains that I waste my money on these collectors items, but some of what I have, have already gained value since buying them over the last 5 or so years. My McFarlane Jonathan Quick figure being the best so far. I bought it for about 40$ and it's now selling for over 100$, I've even seen it being sold for about 500$. And that's just over about a 3 year period.
The actual selling price for the Pokemon pikachu Illustrator Promo Graded PSA 9 Card was for $90,000.00. The one listed in this video was taken down because it contained an error and was never sold as a PSA 9. It was in fact a 10 and sold in Sep. 2015.

In the 60's as a kid with friends on Christmas one gift was an air gun, the kind that made a swoosh that moved the slivers used to decorate trees to look like icicles. Anyway, in a Jeff Dunham video a commercial was shown where Kurt Russell as a kid did a commercial for an air gun, but I think military-like? Another funky gift of that time frame were "Moon Shoes". Metal shoes with big springs, to give the wearer that 'anti-gravity' effect...lol
Hana's Cool stuff I had a massive collection when i was younger plus i was in the hot wheels club which i bought rare got wheels you could only get through the club via mail. My mom gave them all away to nephews and relatives. None of us new how much theses were worth but from memory the whole collection would be worth about $50,000 or more.
I collect variants of toys that were around when I was growing up. I have a huge collection of the G.1 Transformers, G.I.Joe, M.A.S.K., Gobots, Star Wars, Hot Wheels etc.... I know a lot of my Transformers are worth a lot, but the market makes them go up and down. But I mainly collect for the enjoyment and reliving my childhood.
I'm surprised that some magic the gathering cards from the Alpha block such as Black Lotus weren't included on this list....but all in all a solid list
This is something that always bugged me about this kind of collections. You are rich enough to be a car collector, cool you can drive them around, sit in them, spend hours taking care of them. You are a video game collector, cool you can take 90% of your collection and play with them (except if you just get them boxed which puts you in the toy collecting category). But a toy collector? What's the point? Paying thousands of dollars just to have boxes seating on shelves not being able to even touch them or show them around. It's pointless.
pretty sure those aren't quite as valuable as the ones on this list. I had the megatron when I was younger. i got him as a christmas gift, and immediately took him from the box. I had a LOT of transformers. I just don't think they gained in value as some of the others. But, this list isn't accurate by any means, so there's that.
Iv been buying hot wheels since 2000. Idk how many i have now but all are still in their packages. I still buy them. In about 30-50 years, i imagine they will have some value.
I know a lot of people take issue with the two toys with jewlery being on the list, I agree.... But also I kinda feel that neither a pokemon card or a Pez dispenser really counts as a "Toy", maybe I am alone on that one though.
I had that boba-fett with the rocket launcher. The video doesn't mention it, but if you mailed the rocket in they would send you another free action figure as a substitute.
I agree with what some people say about the prototypes and the diamond encrusted toys, They should never have been on this list. What should be on the list are toys that were available to the public and that were played with by actual children. Most toys now are made for collectors. Anything is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
I don't have the rocket firing boba fett , but I still have the rocket firing cylon war raider that was mentioned . although I lost the rockets decades ago .
I have a couple of rare toys in my collection. One is in it's original box, and there were only 60 ever made. It probably isn't worth more than a hundred now, but in twenty years down the track it could be worth a hell of a lot of money.
Keep in mind..for the big bucks you need new in box, even the containers are closed scrutinized to make sure they have no damage like a valuable baseball card. A buddy of mines father ran a collector toy and card shop. A perfect nib is 100k, a slight imperfection in the packaging can make that same item worth only 1000 even in the box! Plastic encased toys if the plastic around the toy is detached even slightly it lowers the value hugely. Collectors want 100% as new before dropping the big bucks...
Turns out i have a really rare star wars figure and ti fighter in my old toy box. The ti fighter is in spotless condition and the figure was a boba fett you could take the jetpack off of and put another accessory. Unfortunately as a kid, used it as a bath toy and it now has steam and water damage on it resulting in the colours fading.
I still have the very first Dungeons And Dragons handbook from 1980, which is worth 700$ at most on eBay, I am seriously thinking about setting that money aside for the Nintendo Switch
I was born in 83 and I swear growing up we had the best toys ever compared to what I see out now. But I guess that's only because kids nowadays only care about video games and such..its a shame
