Me in the 80's playing with most of these: "I wonder if I'll be a millionaire when I grow up..." Me now: "You already are." Me in the 80's: "Aww, that's sweet." Me now: "No, seriously, you already ARE. Save that stuff ! Me in the 80's: (Doesn't save stuff) Me now: Hmm, I wonder if I'll be a millionaire when I grow old... 🤣
YES! I got to experience the end of the 70's and the beginning of the 80's in grade school, then as a teen in the 80's got to transition to high school, growing up in the best decade ever- the 1980's!!
In 1988 my brother and I redeemed cans and bottles, collected and saved every coin and penny we could find for 8 months until we had enough to get an nes from kay-bee toy store. I still have it and it still works and I still play it with my boys. Made in Japan still playable 30+ years later. Amazing.
I still have an NES, too, Mauricio. I also have the Atari 2600 that my Dad bought around 1980, still works no problem..wish newer consoles were made to that standard of quality. I have built up quite a library of NES games over the last 6 1/2 years, almost 340 of them. Only a small handful are in box.
Man I loved M.U.S.C.L.E. figures as a child, and He-man, transformers, smurfs, micro machines, Nintendo, boglins, baseball cards, mad balls, gI joe, a team, knight rider and tmnt's! Man nostalgia at it's best! Thank you for this video!
Think Barbie has gone thru many eras she was born in 1959, Coronation Street 1960 longest running shows in history in the World don't forget Jem rocked in the 80s i even watched it girls had it and many others to choose,just as good as guys did
I had a Rainbow Brite doll. No clue what happened to it. We didn’t think about selling our toys back then, just playing with them until they fell apart and then giving them away. I guess that’s why the 80s toys are so rare. I go antiquing a lot and hardly ever see 80s toys.
best thing for me in the 80s as a child was the freedom to roam.i remember most all these things. i was into g.i joe.we were mostly outside ,involved in physical activities. the toys were rainy day and winter activities
Yep..my son had the Nintendo game system.we did too. But he spent most of his time outside on his B.M.X. bike. That was his big obsession. Now that he is in his forties he races quads . He even has sponsers and wins frequently..Luckily he also is a foreman at his construction company so he can pay for his expensive hobby.
My brother has ours. He still plays it too. We thrift shopped a lot of the games we couldn't afford as kids over the years as adults and he has a great collection.
I still play with my original NES too. What's so impressive to me is that it's the only console that hasn't required any type of restoration. My Gameboy Color is working too but the screen will probably need a replacement.
As someone who buys, restores and resells games the numbers you are stating are over inflated and can be from fake bids. Like the stadium events that sold on eBay for $200,000. Turns out it was kids making the bids. I have have been in the possession of very rare, games, and even had values assessed and was still no were near these numbers. When information like this is taken out of context it makes people think their old broken stuff is worth a fortune and in reality it isn't and it becomes impossible for someone like myself to buy, fix and resell an item when the value is way lower than what they think. It also makes it way too expensive for a casual collector to buy anything.
I’m having this issue with CPK right now on eBay. People are selling their memories I think. Many sellers are asking for several thousand for a NIB Cabbage Patch from 1980’s. You know what I see when I find someone selling several NIB CPKs? I think of the times when I wasn’t able to get one of my own in the stores growing up because they bought all ten from the shelves…😢
I’ve always seen values of collectibles, “as in the eye of the beholder “, kinda thing. Because if something is actually only worth $50, but a collector of that character, series or franchise wants it bad enough, they’ll pay double that.
@@Subzero271978 1978 is a Good year to be born in my friend, 🥂, I totally feel the same way I just sold eight Ninja turtles to a toy store in chagrin Falls Ohio 150 bucks. To me that was a fair price specially for not being in 100% condition ,but decent, someone else could be priceless
@@floydsemlow8253 I like to think it was, I was able to be around and see the beginning of a lot of cool stuff 😁. Yeah TMNT stuff is picking up steam again. But never ceases to amaze me how people will charge for nostalgia, it’s not even real, it’s a feeling. Hope you have a great rest of the weekend brother!
What I find as sad is the people who are children today will not have tots to look back on their youth in 20 years. All they will have is electronics. I enjoyed my childhood playing with my toys and playing outside with my siblings and friends. Gen X'er s had the best childhood. Toys, Saturday morning cartoons, and playing outside. Who could ask for more.
I do find it sad that kids just aren't into toys like they used to be. There really is a lot of joy in them no matter what you have. Even if they are homemade. Thank you for watching!
It's up to the parents to encourage a proper childhood, nothing has changed from then until now except people distracted by technology becoming victims of "advancement".
My parents recently gave me a couple of my old transformers from the 80s. Sound Wave and Blaster I think. I gave them to my kids. They're surprisingly well-built, have metal joints in them, and transform just as well as they did when I was a kid. They definitely don't make them like they used to in this case. Some of the greatest toys ever imo.
Definitely don't make anything good anymore. Brittle plastic and cheap parts made in China. Toys are definitely garbage now. I worked at a Wal-Mart during a holiday season and was disgusted by all of the merchandise coming in. Made me wonder why anyone would ever want to buy any of that junk to begin with.
I absolutely love seeing toys from my era (70’s-80’s). Unfortunately I was a little heathen back in my day and broke a lot of my toys which then got thrown away. As an adult I am finding a lot of them on eBay and having to pay a premium price. In the last couple years I have started to collect the WWF LJN wrestling figurines from the early-mid 80’s. It’s astonishing to see how much they were in the 80’s and now how much they go for on eBay. I have spent close to $10k on these wrestlers and have every intention to hand them down to my son one day when he can appreciate their value. Loved this video, very nostalgic and takes me back to the good ol’ days of being a kid!!!
1980s was the best time to grow up in the toys ,cartoons,playing outside and no social media brain washing people was the greatest time ever I had the biggest majority of these toys before they got put in the bin as i outgrew them. I really miss those days
My sister still has her Nintendo; controllers and duck hunt gun and games. I want it just to play it. I bought this Nintendo mini that had games already stored in… but it’s not the whole game. And no duck hunt gun! Original is always best
@@MrsCap343 you are a very wise person . As I believe the same thing. You can ask whatever u want . If no one is willing to pay that much. You still have it
My brother and I grew up spoiled. We had every GI Joe, Transformer, Master of the Universe, MASK, Gobot, Star Wars, etc. toy you could think of. My dad had a pool table in the gameroom that during the 1980's was covered in toys. I went as far as to even keeping the boxes and manuals. My mom had given all our toys away as we got older and transitioned to video games. Had my mom kept everything we would have amassed a small fortune.
Very similar to my upbringing. After I married and left the house, I should have taken all my old toys with me, but I never thought that my parents would just throw them all out.
My parents bought my brother and I a lot of toys including Star Wars, GI Joe, Transformers, HeMan and MASK. To my knowledge they are still in my parents attic. It gets cold and hot up there so their condition is probably comprimised because of that. But I thank them for buying all those for us on 1 income growing up. My parents just had their 50th wedding anniversary too. Have a great day everyone!
Taking them out of the box drops there value significantly. I was looking at Optimus prime yesterday. One played with but had the box and all accessories graded a 60 was 5,000, one sealed in box graded 80/90/90 was 25,000. Normal Optimus prime g1 with average wear and no box, ungraded, was around 500.
My daughter's had every Barbie you could think of, Cabbage Patch Dolls. My oldest daughter had everything Strawberry Short Cake. The boys had just about everything under the sun 💕🥰
It's not a Toy but a Game i have 1980s Trivial Pursuit i got it like 20years ago and wish i had Guess Who from the 80s those planks are somewhat the cover on the board is brilliant it would be worth abit i have the phoney one but have the cover similar to the one was made in 88
My aunt had everything strawberry shortcake and I had everything care bears lol we found the strawberry shortcake collection in the garage and I'll be damned if they still had there distinct smell after all these years. Sighs.....aw just to be able to go back in a memory by a smell......😊
As an 80s kid I loved the 80s so much. Have a bunch of the G1 Transformers and baseball cards still around. Not the fast pace twitter instagram instant response people expect and hundreds of options for everything.
Ha!! Video games have sure come a long way. I remember pong being amazing. In the 60’s and 70’s and 80’s as the holidays got closer there were so many toy commercials. It’s not that way today. I wonder why?
Hi Paul 🤗 I’m wondering why as well, now that you have mentioned that. Then again we don’t even really have toy shops anymore, you buy your toys now from Kmart, Big W or Target. So sad that the those huge toy stores are gone, I enjoyed shopping in them with my children.
@@swansfan6944 Hi how are you? Yeah you are right plus most people are shopping on line also. Amazon is the big thing over here. There were so many toy stores like Toys R Us. I guess things change sometimes for the good and sometimes not. Take care nice to hear from you. Enjoy the rest of your day! 😁👍
@@paulstan9828 Toys R Us was the big one we shopped at as well, yes you are right Amazon and E bay are huge and a lot of people shop on line. I like to shop in person, problem is because everyone is shopping online the stores now don’t stock as much, so then you have to go online anyway. Take care 👋 Paul.
The commercials are thinker on different streaming services and they are more user specific now. They know what you watch and what you could be interested in. Kind of weird. My father in law had the original Pong game system so he just recently gave us that. Pretty interesting because I had never played that version before. Only had it on the Atari system. Thank you for watching!
I have an NES Action Set with its original box and posters. I found it by the curb on trash day in 1999 along with 6 games in a shoe box. It still works fine and I played it a number of times before putting it away.
I have two Cabbage Patch Kids from 1986 in original boxes. My mom had bought extra during the craze and just kept them all these years. Believe it or not they're not selling for more than like $50 on eBay and the like. I have that holiday Barbie from the video but it's definitely not NIB lol I also have the original set of My Little Pony (not new in boxes but meticulously well kept), Jem dolls, She Ra dolls, original Transformers, a whole bunch of other stuff that I had from the '80s when I was a kid. Even some classic '80s board games like Mall Madness and Fireball island.
My favorite was Jem and She-Ra. I still have my She-Ra and her castle. Jem and her band. Her earrings still flash! I also loved the Wuzzles...I still have my Butterbear. (Half bear half butterfly).
@@theresas2520 that's awesome! I don't have many She-Ra toys left I think all I have left is She-Ra and her horse. I still have the cassette tapes for a lot of the Jem dolls also those dolls were some of my favorites!
Some of the markets for these items have, frankly, gone nuts. I can understand rare items going for inflated prices, but some of these toys and games are nearly as common as dirt, yet still often have high asking prices attached. If I can go to eBay any given day and find tons of examples of any TMNT, GI Joe, or M.U.S.C.L.E. figure I want, they aren't rare. Overwhelming demand (and in the case of video games, fishiness in the grading and auction world) has driven these high prices way beyond what they should be "naturally."
They have gone nuts and some of them can certainly be overinflated. But it is crazy to see what some people will pay for things like this. Thank you for watching!
Brilliant video, i still have som eof my old 70's and 80's toys and books etc..but im far too sentimental to sell them 😂Was great seeing all these images bringing back instant memories! Thank you for putting this together ! Sonique 🤗👌👌
Seeing micro machines on your list reminded me that those things were already expensive back then. LoL I always thought that Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars were better values for what you got. My favorites had the "crush effect" body panels that would flip around when you would run them into something.
I liked them. Matchbox also had "Lock-ups" and by turning the key underneath you could prevent the wheels from turning. I always thought that Matchbox were nicer than HW and were my preference. Good days.
I had He-Man, Transformers, Ninja Turtles & MUSCLE Figures toys growing up, but my parents got rid of them at one point. I didn't realize this until we cleared out a storage containment unit when I was 18. I'm sure they'd thought I'd forget and maybe still do I think I forgot. I never really brought it up.
I have a super Nes and a whole chicken feed box with toys from the '80s! I even have comic books in make condition from the early 2000s. In this video was really nostalgic. Thank you
I love seeing retro toys online, and in person is even better, but it's no longer fun to collect stuff because of greed and everyone wanting top dollar for junk. Im cool with the memories 😁
Never understood why people would pay silly money for old toys until I got older now it makes sense. I would love to own some toys I had as a child just to take me back in time for a while. I have to appreciate people that looked after there toys, I unfortunately used mine to do crash tests or see if they would survive being dropped out my bedroom window.
Most people don't realize the amount of appreciation from toys. I collect hot wheels and action figures, and many of these bought within just the last several years have tripped in value. Like the Storm Mortal Kombat og Ninjas, RLC R34's, Mafex Superman, Figma Metroid, Marvel legends Spiderman figures, and more.
I love your channel and like the information, but I have to say your NES info is WAY off Most NES open systems will sell for about 50-75 bucks. And a boxed system shouldn't sell for more than 150. Also, your average copy of SMB will barely sell for a dollar, and that high-priced boxed version was an artificially inflated sale that was meant to drive up used game prices. Sorry, not trying to be a "gotcha", but I love your channel and want your info to be accurate.
I got a NES in a box for $75 and it took me awhile to get that. There were a lot going for more. Those kind of tactics of inflating the price have always been around. It's in about everything too. Real Estate, cars, toys and even this years Hallowen decorations. Thank uou for watching!
Those nes prices are WAY off. A nintendo costs $50-75. Boxed unopened is about $200-300. Mario Brothers fetches about $5-10 and sealed boxed is about $40-50. I have no idea where you are getting those prices.
My grandparents lived in London when cabbage patch kids came out. They bought 2, one for my sister and one for me, and brought them on the plane with them back to the states. My grandpa always said how ridiculously scary it was to fly with those “damn dolls”... 😅 I still have mine 😊 People go mad over popular toys. I worked at toys r us through tickle me Elmo, furbys, Pokémon cards and the new Star Wars films. Witnessing adults accost children for a toy is wild.
My MIL bought my three kids the Olympic cabbage patch kids for Christmas They're all still in the original boxes since they were too old to play with them. Lol, she said you'll thank me some day when they're worth a lot of money. Still waiting.
I was nearly homeless, but then I stumbled into a box with all these toys. Now my life has changed. I am typing this on my yacht in Monaco! Chim chim charee!
I had one of those weird clear phones in the picture at the end. That and my own personal line in my room were all I requested one year for Christmas and I got it along with a CD player and a couple CD's.
I can relate to this as well as my brother. My mom is all about purging but I can’t blame her. If we had only had the foresight to keep the toys and even better, if we had bought 2 and kept one in the box! It’s crazy because even though I know this would have been a fantastic idea, I didn’t do it with my kids toys either. Imagine having all those Pokémon cards in sealed packs! And those don’t even take up room 🤦♂️.
A lot of the stuff you have to think like what Rick says on pawn stars… Is that what they’re getting or what they’re asking? For example, you see people online all the time asking for hundreds of dollars for the complete series of friends on DVD… But I can go to my local used video store or pawnshop, and buy every season for five dollars apiece. Some people think they have gold.
My parents spoiled the crap out of me. I was such an ungrateful child and didn't take care of my toys at all. Comic Books, Baseball Cards, Video Games, you name it. Some of the toys I had are going for $6000 on Ebay. 20X6000 sure would go a long way right now. I sure wish I could go back in time and slap the stupid off of me.
Cabbage patch dolls are largely not worth much at all. Even mint, I find them almost every weekend for around $15 each. Most of these items are taken from inflated bids or fake sales. Not all, but most. My Pet monster was on point though!
I was born in 88 between my bro who is 8yr old older than me had most all of these. The bogglin in what made me subscribe. He had one and I will NEVER forget that toy!!!!
Parent from the 80's. "I can't believe we bought you a toy and you barely touched it!!" Same parent 40 years later. "Thanks for never touching that toy we bought you way back in the 80's!!!"
I still habe a single cabbage patch doll left from my grandmother collecting them. Someone my mom was friends with stole most of them but the one i have left had a custom made girl scout outfit it wears. She was given a award by the state bc she had the first disabled troop that she took care of for decades they were all like family so im glad i still have at least the cabbage patch doll
It would be great to have a stock pile of them. Especially if they were in mint condition. Thank you for watching and I hope you have a great weekend as well!
My mom found a couple Cabbage Patch kids back then. She made a few hundred dollars. There’s still at least two opened ones in my parents’s basement. I had an animal one, too. Teddy Ruxpin always creeped me out then and still does. The room that I had to share with one of my older brothers was half sports trophies and Shirt Tales and my half had Care Bears. I found a vintage Rainbow Brite unicorn at the thrift store a few years ago. I have my original stuffed Gizmos and stuffed girl Ewok. I still have a Barbie and the Rockers van. I never had a Rocker Barbie, though. I finally spotted one at Kmart back in ‘87 or ‘88, but I was probably 8 or 9, so I guess I felt I was a little too old and didn’t want to ask my dad to buy it for me. I actually hid it behind some other stuff, thinking I would come back later to buy it, but it was gone. When my oldest brother moved out, I started cleaning out his closet so I could get him out quicker and have his room for my extra stuff. When I opened it, all his Dungeons & Dragons stuff fell out at my feet.
I have all my Cabbage Patch Kids, Care Bears and the cousins, and Pound Puppies. I even have a dream house and Corvette. My retirement may be in boxes in my closets! 😂
I collect cabbage patches and have been for many years the only ones that are into the thousands are the original handmade ones not the mass produced ones.
I used to create elaborate terrains for my Ninja Turtles in the woods behind my house. Me and my friends built breakaway bridges with scrap wood over trenches lined with landscaping plastic and rocks to make it like a river. We made cool “hangouts” for our toys from cardboard boxes painted to look like city buildings or surrounded with bark and rocks to look like a cave. We cut up some corrugated drain pipe to look like sewers connecting our Turtle “world”. We must have spent an entire summer playing with just that and jumping on the trampoline. Needless to say our toys got wrecked! But it sure was fun!!
I am blessed to have my Donkey Kong & Frogger that were made my Coleco in the early 80’s.I am sure I could get close to a 75.00 to 100.00 for each of them,except they are so sentimental to me that I would feel richer keeping them.
When I was a kid, I had Smash Up Derby, Six Million Dollar Man, Jaws game, Matell Quick Change Machine, Nintendo Game & Watch, etc, etc.... All gone now. :(
I miss my 80's childhood. Some things I had back then that I would give anything to have back. 3 Cabbage patch kids( Josepha Ida, Regina Daisy, and Argus Abbott) Snoopy Snow Cone machine A telephone for my room that had a rainbow for the handle and a cloud for the base. It played a song when it rang. ( I think a Beethoven piece) Strawberry Shortcake set with all the people, their hair smelled so good! Care Bears, My little Pony, Rainbow Brite Speak n' Spell! Munchichi! California Raisins, Smurfs I had a Scooby-Doo light projector View finder, Debbie Gibson Electric Youth perfume, Baby Soft perfume Get in Shape girl set! Lisa Frank everything I had a pink castle tent thing that went around my bed! I look back at my toys now and realize my parents did want to make me happy. I may have not gotten all my emotional needs meet but I sure as heck had amazing toys:) My kids really missed out having to grow up in the electronic era:( we also had the best cartoons and TV shows!! Get along gang, punky Brewster, facts of life, growing pains, rags to riches, Mr. Belvedere, silver spoons, Heathcliff the cat, small wonder, and so much more like the after school specials etc:) I miss my jelly shoes, my leg warmers, all of it.
Anyone remember Wacky Packages and Garbage Pail Kids cards/stickers? I regret having thrown them out back then. I wonder how much they’d be worth today?
I play my NES all the time. I love the 8 bit graphics, and games back then had uniqueness and originality unlike the games of today. I have a couple that I keep hooked up, and one that's CIB. It's not still sealed, but it's all there. That one I'm hanging on to for the memories.
Yep, those games and a lot of SNES and even some N64 games are much better than games of the 2000s. They are much simpler, so fun to play and require no updates or add-ons.
I grew up in 1980, having been born in 83. However, as far as the NES, I got mine as a hand me down from my cousin who had outgrown the console . So when I outgrew it mom and I donated it to goodwill along with all my games for it

These toys already made you rich. being fortunate enough to have grown up in a time period like that is a true blessing.
Yes it is. Thank you for watching!
Me in the 80's playing with most of these: "I wonder if I'll be a millionaire when I grow up..."
Me now: "You already are."
Me in the 80's: "Aww, that's sweet."
Me now: "No, seriously, you already ARE. Save that stuff !

Yeah too bad it reminds you even more how sucky everything has gotten in the past 22 years and how humanity is doomed.
@@loneshewolf74 True.
This almost made me cry 😭
Late 70’s early 80’s was a great time to be a kid. Many great Christmas memories from that time
Born in 79 me, yep 80s seemed to be better Christmas’s than any other time
Yes! My mom gave us the greatest toys! Christmas was the best day ever!
YES! I got to experience the end of the 70's and the beginning of the 80's in grade school, then as a teen in the 80's got to transition to high school, growing up in the best decade ever- the 1980's!!
Late 80s to 90s was the jam.
Greatest decade to be a child.
Just a heads up. Nintendo Entertainment Systems sell complete in box for around $200 - $250.
They can definitely be found cheaper too. I got one for $75. Just have to look for awhile. Thank you for watching!
Sold mine for £600 odd back in the summer reluctantly.☹️
In 1988 my brother and I redeemed cans and bottles, collected and saved every coin and penny we could find for 8 months until we had enough to get an nes from kay-bee toy store. I still have it and it still works and I still play it with my boys. Made in Japan still playable 30+ years later. Amazing.
good god, you must have had thousands to tens of thousands of those things to build up enough money!
Loved Kay bee!!! Made the mall worth it.

Man nostalgia at it's best! Thank you for this video!
I loved my Rainbow Brite and Carebears when I was a child. I also remember GloWorms and I loved that thing to pieces.
I had the Gloworm too! I remember seeing a friend of mine for the first time and really wanted one too..I also wanted the mr frosty maker ⛄⛄😂

best thing for me in the 80s as a child was the freedom to roam.i remember most all these things. i was into g.i joe.we were mostly outside ,involved in physical activities. the toys were rainy day and winter activities
There's no difference from then to today though.
Yep..my son had the Nintendo game system.we did too. But he spent most of his time outside on his B.M.X. bike. That was his big obsession. Now that he is in his forties he races quads . He even has sponsers and wins frequently..Luckily he also is a foreman at his construction company so he can pay for his expensive hobby.
It you grew up in the 80s you had a great childhood. The 80s 90s were awesome
My mom still plays games on the original NES system she bought for me in the 80s. I’m amazed that it still works.
Very few moving parts. Electronic components are easier to replace also.
@@garystinten9339 that's good to know in case it ever stops working.
My brother has ours. He still plays it too. We thrift shopped a lot of the games we couldn't afford as kids over the years as adults and he has a great collection.
What games does she play?
I still play with my original NES too. What's so impressive to me is that it's the only console that hasn't required any type of restoration. My Gameboy Color is working too but the screen will probably need a replacement.
I wish my childhood bedroom had been preserved as a time capsule! This video is bringing back even more hidden memories from back in the day.
I used to play Black Sabbath tapes in my Teddy Ruxpin.
Amazing, just amazing
I love you

@@RhettyforHistory I’m 20 and have many many fond memories of toys.
My kids LOVE toys who you kiddin lol
It's up to the parents to encourage a proper childhood, nothing has changed from then until now except people distracted by technology becoming victims of "advancement".
The 80s was a great time to be a kid. Wish I could go back!
It would definitely be great to have a time machine! Thank you for watching!
Get in a time machine and go
@@wildlifewarrior2670 I already did. Remember that “old guy” that beat you in Q*Bert at the arcade back in the summer of ‘86? That was me! 🤪

Lots of nostalgia in this video for me! Thanks Rhett
Thank you for watching!
I was fortunate enough to be a late 80s/early 90s kid with a brother who was a late 70s/early 80s kid. We had ALL the cool toys!
My parents recently gave me a couple of my old transformers from the 80s. Sound Wave and Blaster I think. I gave them to my kids. They're surprisingly well-built, have metal joints in them, and transform just as well as they did when I was a kid. They definitely don't make them like they used to in this case. Some of the greatest toys ever imo.
Definitely don't make anything good anymore. Brittle plastic and cheap parts made in China. Toys are definitely garbage now. I worked at a Wal-Mart during a holiday season and was disgusted by all of the merchandise coming in. Made me wonder why anyone would ever want to buy any of that junk to begin with.
Yeah I have a bunch G.I Joe vehicles from the early 90s. They are built like tanks lol, super thick plastic, metal axles, and just very heavy.
I absolutely love seeing toys from my era (70’s-80’s). Unfortunately I was a little heathen back in my day and broke a lot of my toys which then got thrown away. As an adult I am finding a lot of them on eBay and having to pay a premium price. In the last couple years I have started to collect the WWF LJN wrestling figurines from the early-mid 80’s. It’s astonishing to see how much they were in the 80’s and now how much they go for on eBay. I have spent close to $10k on these wrestlers and have every intention to hand them down to my son one day when he can appreciate their value. Loved this video, very nostalgic and takes me back to the good ol’ days of being a kid!!!
1980s was the best time to grow up in the toys ,cartoons,playing outside and no social media brain washing people was the greatest time ever I had the biggest majority of these toys before they got put in the bin as i outgrew them. I really miss those days
90's was incredible aswell. Power Rangers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Pokemon were HUUUGE!!!
Rule number for mental health, delete social media.
Voltron toys from the that era is worth a lot of money nowadays too! Great cartoon also!
My Vehicle Voltron is still pretty good shape
I still have my Cabbage Patch kids and both Ewok stuffed animals! Great memories!
I was an 80's kid. Good times. I still have a teddy ruxpin, a cabbage patch doll, a care bear and gobots.
Thank you for watching and sharing what you had!
@@RhettyforHistory YW. :) I still have them :)
@@RhettyforHistory Btw I love history. (It was one of my majors in university.) I had to give you my sub!
That’s the one toy I would re buy if I really needed a frivolous and yet happy pick me up, that Teddy Ruxpin. I loved that bear so much.
@@devenifujita9899 :)
Owned over half of these toys! Man I miss those times!
The NES did not come in 1983. It had a limited release in 1985 and full release in 1986.
My sister still has her Nintendo; controllers and duck hunt gun and games. I want it just to play it. I bought this Nintendo mini that had games already stored in… but it’s not the whole game. And no duck hunt gun! Original is always best
Actually my brother’s He-Man doll “dated” my Barbie doll when we were kids. She was way too tall for him but otherwise it was fine.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memory of that!
Omg same! We had Teela get so jealous.
I made my brother's heman date my shera doll. I think they are brother & sister🤔relized that later in life😬 SHERA princess of powerrrrrrr🎵😂
I hope He-Man put on some clothes, ha ha ha. 😂
Your stuff is only worth what someone is willing to pay.
Yes it is is. And some go overboard on them. Thank you for watching!
@@MrsCap343 you are a very wise person . As I believe the same thing. You can ask whatever u want . If no one is willing to pay that much. You still have it
My brother and I grew up spoiled. We had every GI Joe, Transformer, Master of the Universe, MASK, Gobot, Star Wars, etc. toy you could think of. My dad had a pool table in the gameroom that during the 1980's was covered in toys. I went as far as to even keeping the boxes and manuals. My mom had given all our toys away as we got older and transitioned to video games. Had my mom kept everything we would have amassed a small fortune.
Very similar to my upbringing. After I married and left the house, I should have taken all my old toys with me, but I never thought that my parents would just throw them all out.
My parents bought my brother and I a lot of toys including Star Wars, GI Joe, Transformers, HeMan and MASK. To my knowledge they are still in my parents attic. It gets cold and hot up there so their condition is probably comprimised because of that. But I thank them for buying all those for us on 1 income growing up.
My parents just had their 50th wedding anniversary too.
Have a great day everyone!
Taking them out of the box drops there value significantly. I was looking at Optimus prime yesterday. One played with but had the box and all accessories graded a 60 was 5,000, one sealed in box graded 80/90/90 was 25,000. Normal Optimus prime g1 with average wear and no box, ungraded, was around 500.
Ooo! I still have my Nintendo from the 80’s which still works. I also super Mario, donkey Kong, duck hunt, paper boy, pitfall and more. 😮
We had a bunch of these toys, but we played with and loved all of our toys into the land fills.
My daughter's had every Barbie you could think of, Cabbage Patch Dolls. My oldest daughter had everything Strawberry Short Cake. The boys had just about everything under the sun 💕🥰
Sounds like your kids have had a lot. Thank you for watching and sharing what they have had.
It's not a Toy but a Game i have 1980s Trivial Pursuit i got it like 20years ago and wish i had Guess Who from the 80s those planks are somewhat the cover on the board is brilliant it would be worth abit i have the phoney one but have the cover similar to the one was made in 88
My aunt had everything strawberry shortcake and I had everything care bears lol we found the strawberry shortcake collection in the garage and I'll be damned if they still had there distinct smell after all these years. Sighs.....aw just to be able to go back in a memory by a smell......😊
As an 80s kid I loved the 80s so much. Have a bunch of the G1 Transformers and baseball cards still around. Not the fast pace twitter instagram instant response people expect and hundreds of options for everything.
I miss 80's
It was a great decade!
I look back at movies and TV shows from the era, and to me, the clothing and hair styles still look good.
I just found this channel yesterday on Thanksgiving day and man am I happy. Great channel!
I need to start working on a time machine... guts me that I had a lot of these! Thanks for the nostalgia hit anyways!
Ha!! Video games have sure come a long way. I remember pong being amazing. In the 60’s and 70’s and 80’s as the holidays got closer there were so many toy commercials. It’s not that way today. I wonder why?
Hi Paul 🤗 I’m wondering why as well, now that you have mentioned that. Then again we don’t even really have toy shops anymore, you buy your toys now from Kmart, Big W or Target. So sad that the those huge toy stores are gone, I enjoyed shopping in them with my children.
@@swansfan6944 Hi how are you? Yeah you are right plus most people are shopping on line also. Amazon is the big thing over here. There were so many toy stores like Toys R Us. I guess things change sometimes for the good and sometimes not. Take care nice to hear from you. Enjoy the rest of your day! 😁👍
@@paulstan9828 Toys R Us was the big one we shopped at as well, yes you are right Amazon and E bay are huge and a lot of people shop on line. I like to shop in person, problem is because everyone is shopping online the stores now don’t stock as much, so then you have to go online anyway.
Take care 👋 Paul.
@@swansfan6944 I know I find myself shopping on line because of that reason also.
The commercials are thinker on different streaming services and they are more user specific now. They know what you watch and what you could be interested in. Kind of weird. My father in law had the original Pong game system so he just recently gave us that. Pretty interesting because I had never played that version before. Only had it on the Atari system. Thank you for watching!
You should do more 80's vintage toys videos I found it interesting
I have a couple others if you haven't seen them. Thank uou for watching!
I can't believe my uncle spent that much on me when they first came out...NES. Miss that guy.
Good man. My mother bought us one. We were poor! Don’t know how she ever pulled that off.
Gotta love them 80's Toys!! I loved the A-Team figures as well as the muscle men! The playmates turtles hold a special place in my heart too!
I don't know if I can keep watching this. I'm 32 now. I've had so many NES systems in highschool and had 2 copies of Zelda in gold casings
I have an NES Action Set with its original box and posters. I found it by the curb on trash day in 1999 along with 6 games in a shoe box. It still works fine and I played it a number of times before putting it away.
Thank you for the walk through my kids toybox from then! They wore out most of their toys or they were passed to the grandkids and are still in play.
It's perfectly normal to have toys well worn. To me it means they enjoyed them. Thank you for watching Tricia
I remember loving my stuffed Smurfs and Odie and Gardield! 80's kids were lucky to have grown up in that time.
Still have my stuffed Smurf. My gran got it for $.10 on sale because the series hadn't begun yet and no one knew what they were yet!
I have two Cabbage Patch Kids from 1986 in original boxes. My mom had bought extra during the craze and just kept them all these years. Believe it or not they're not selling for more than like $50 on eBay and the like.
I have that holiday Barbie from the video but it's definitely not NIB lol
I also have the original set of My Little Pony (not new in boxes but meticulously well kept), Jem dolls, She Ra dolls, original Transformers, a whole bunch of other stuff that I had from the '80s when I was a kid. Even some classic '80s board games like Mall Madness and Fireball island.
Thank you for watching and sharing some of what you have!
I sold a real porcelain Barbie, made by Matel and numbered I got at a private event I worked. Got several hundred. Might be more now.
My favorite was Jem and She-Ra.
I still have my She-Ra and her castle. Jem and her band. Her earrings still flash! I also loved the Wuzzles...I still have my Butterbear. (Half bear half butterfly).
@@theresas2520 that's awesome! I don't have many She-Ra toys left I think all I have left is She-Ra and her horse. I still have the cassette tapes for a lot of the Jem dolls also those dolls were some of my favorites!
Some of the markets for these items have, frankly, gone nuts. I can understand rare items going for inflated prices, but some of these toys and games are nearly as common as dirt, yet still often have high asking prices attached. If I can go to eBay any given day and find tons of examples of any TMNT, GI Joe, or M.U.S.C.L.E. figure I want, they aren't rare. Overwhelming demand (and in the case of video games, fishiness in the grading and auction world) has driven these high prices way beyond what they should be "naturally."
They have gone nuts and some of them can certainly be overinflated. But it is crazy to see what some people will pay for things like this. Thank you for watching!
Brilliant video, i still have som eof my old 70's and 80's toys and books etc..but im far too sentimental to sell them 😂Was great seeing all these images bringing back instant memories! Thank you for putting this together ! Sonique 🤗👌👌
I can certainly understand being centimental on what you have. That's really cool you still have a lot of that stuff though. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory Thank YOU for putting this video together, enjoyed it a lot and brought back great memories, thank you !
Seeing micro machines on your list reminded me that those things were already expensive back then. LoL
I always thought that Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars were better values for what you got. My favorites had the "crush effect" body panels that would flip around when you would run them into something.
I remember the cars that had the crash thing on the door or doors.
I liked them. Matchbox also had "Lock-ups" and by turning the key underneath you could prevent the wheels from turning.
I always thought that Matchbox were nicer than HW and were my preference.
Good days.
I had He-Man, Transformers, Ninja Turtles & MUSCLE Figures toys growing up, but my parents got rid of them at one point. I didn't realize this until we cleared out a storage containment unit when I was 18. I'm sure they'd thought I'd forget and maybe still do I think I forgot. I never really brought it up.
I have a super Nes and a whole chicken feed box with toys from the '80s! I even have comic books in make condition from the early 2000s. In this video was really nostalgic. Thank you
Did have some of the items …. Not anymore but the joy / memories i had cannot be replaced by money . Loved it .
Was 8-year-old when He-Man started out, I can remember never missing a show as well as Thundercats,was my 2 favorite cartoons.
I love seeing retro toys online, and in person is even better, but it's no longer fun to collect stuff because of greed and everyone wanting top dollar for junk.
Im cool with the memories 😁
Never understood why people would pay silly money for old toys until I got older now it makes sense. I would love to own some toys I had as a child just to take me back in time for a while. I have to appreciate people that looked after there toys, I unfortunately used mine to do crash tests or see if they would survive being dropped out my bedroom window.
Most people don't realize the amount of appreciation from toys. I collect hot wheels and action figures, and many of these bought within just the last several years have tripped in value. Like the Storm Mortal Kombat og Ninjas, RLC R34's, Mafex Superman, Figma Metroid, Marvel legends Spiderman figures, and more.
I purchased the turtle van when it came out it was cool. Also mighty isis was popular. Great memories. Thanks for Sharing 🙂😊
You're welcome and thank you for watching! It's always great to see what everyone had.
I got two for Christmas when it first came out, because I begged everyone for one
I love your channel and like the information, but I have to say your NES info is WAY off
Most NES open systems will sell for about 50-75 bucks. And a boxed system shouldn't sell for more than 150. Also, your average copy of SMB will barely sell for a dollar, and that high-priced boxed version was an artificially inflated sale that was meant to drive up used game prices.
Sorry, not trying to be a "gotcha", but I love your channel and want your info to be accurate.
I got a NES in a box for $75 and it took me awhile to get that. There were a lot going for more. Those kind of tactics of inflating the price have always been around. It's in about everything too. Real Estate, cars, toys and even this years Hallowen decorations. Thank uou for watching!
Those nes prices are WAY off. A nintendo costs $50-75. Boxed unopened is about $200-300. Mario Brothers fetches about $5-10 and sealed boxed is about $40-50. I have no idea where you are getting those prices.
My grandparents lived in London when cabbage patch kids came out. They bought 2, one for my sister and one for me, and brought them on the plane with them back to the states. My grandpa always said how ridiculously scary it was to fly with those “damn dolls”... 😅 I still have mine 😊
People go mad over popular toys. I worked at toys r us through tickle me Elmo, furbys, Pokémon cards and the new Star Wars films. Witnessing adults accost children for a toy is wild.
It is crazy to see parents go crazy over certain toys. The 90s saw a lot of that. Thank you for watching and sharing what you have.
My MIL bought my three kids the Olympic cabbage patch kids for Christmas They're all still in the original boxes since they were too old to play with them. Lol, she said you'll thank me some day when they're worth a lot of money. Still waiting.
I have four. They're supposed to be treated like children. I would NEVER let them be adopted by someone that violent!
As an 80's kid I actually had alot of these toys.
I was nearly homeless, but then I stumbled into a box with all these toys. Now my life has changed. I am typing this on my yacht in Monaco! Chim chim charee!
I had one of those weird clear phones in the picture at the end. That and my own personal line in my room were all I requested one year for Christmas and I got it along with a CD player and a couple CD's.
I had 98 percent of these toys and had most of them till I moved out at 18. So the way I see it, my mom owes me like a million dollars. Wish me luck 😂
I can relate to this as well as my brother. My mom is all about purging but I can’t blame her. If we had only had the foresight to keep the toys and even better, if we had bought 2 and kept one in the box! It’s crazy because even though I know this would have been a fantastic idea, I didn’t do it with my kids toys either. Imagine having all those Pokémon cards in sealed packs! And those don’t even take up room 🤦♂️.
😂🤣
Still got loads of these at my folks place. Im 40 now but get em out for my nephews to play with. They love em.
A lot of the stuff you have to think like what Rick says on pawn stars… Is that what they’re getting or what they’re asking?
For example, you see people online all the time asking for hundreds of dollars for the complete series of friends on DVD… But I can go to my local used video store or pawnshop, and buy every season for five dollars apiece. Some people think they have gold.
My parents spoiled the crap out of me. I was such an ungrateful child and didn't take care of my toys at all. Comic Books, Baseball Cards, Video Games, you name it. Some of the toys I had are going for $6000 on Ebay. 20X6000 sure would go a long way right now. I sure wish I could go back in time and slap the stupid off of me.
Lots of memories here. Thanks Rhetty ! Course 80’s wasn’t playing much but still cool to see again !!
Thank you for watching Linda! I hope you are doing well.
@@RhettyforHistory doing ok here. Hope u guys good
Cabbage patch dolls are largely not worth much at all. Even mint, I find them almost every weekend for around $15 each. Most of these items are taken from inflated bids or fake sales. Not all, but most. My Pet monster was on point though!
I was born in 88 between my bro who is 8yr old older than me had most all of these. The bogglin in what made me subscribe. He had one and I will NEVER forget that toy!!!!
I'm so glad that I grew up around the '80s and late 70s I don't think I can survive what toys they have today
I had a ton of LJN WWF wrestlers. I used to be able to find ones at thrift stores all the time to add to my collection in the 90s.
I just found a Paul Bearer figure 😂
Thank you for watching and sharing what you have!
I had all the Fisher Price toys in the late 60's. From the airport to the parking garage to the gas station 😎
I had the ferris wheel and the bus. My brother had the plane. Those were fun!
Parent from the 80's. "I can't believe we bought you a toy and you barely touched it!!"
Same parent 40 years later. "Thanks for never touching that toy we bought you way back in the 80's!!!"
It definitely could be like that. Thank you for watching!
I still habe a single cabbage patch doll left from my grandmother collecting them. Someone my mom was friends with stole most of them but the one i have left had a custom made girl scout outfit it wears. She was given a award by the state bc she had the first disabled troop that she took care of for decades they were all like family so im glad i still have at least the cabbage patch doll
Hi Rhett 🙋🏽. WOW I wish I had some of those things. I could sure use the money 😂🤣😂😅 LOL. Have a great weekend ‼️
It would be great to have a stock pile of them. Especially if they were in mint condition. Thank you for watching and I hope you have a great weekend as well!
My mom found a couple Cabbage Patch kids back then. She made a few hundred dollars. There’s still at least two opened ones in my parents’s basement. I had an animal one, too. Teddy Ruxpin always creeped me out then and still does.
The room that I had to share with one of my older brothers was half sports trophies and Shirt Tales and my half had Care Bears. I found a vintage Rainbow Brite unicorn at the thrift store a few years ago. I have my original stuffed Gizmos and stuffed girl Ewok. I still have a Barbie and the Rockers van. I never had a Rocker Barbie, though. I finally spotted one at Kmart back in ‘87 or ‘88, but I was probably 8 or 9, so I guess I felt I was a little too old and didn’t want to ask my dad to buy it for me. I actually hid it behind some other stuff, thinking I would come back later to buy it, but it was gone.
When my oldest brother moved out, I started cleaning out his closet so I could get him out quicker and have his room for my extra stuff. When I opened it, all his Dungeons & Dragons stuff fell out at my feet.
Thank you for watching and sharing what you have had and still have. It sounds like you have had some great ones and so has your brother.
I have all my Cabbage Patch Kids, Care Bears and the cousins, and Pound Puppies. I even have a dream house and Corvette. My retirement may be in boxes in my closets! 😂
Brings back a lot of memories
I collect cabbage patches and have been for many years the only ones that are into the thousands are the original handmade ones not the mass produced ones.
No Strawberry Shortcake?
Those original highly scented dolls made one heck of an impression.
I am going back a bit further, but I still wish I had my Lionel trains from the 50s and 60s
I have my Dads from the 40’s

Boglins were every young boys dream toy on the 80s…with all the cool Jim Henson films, Neverending Story etc, it was like a creature from Henson
The eyes were so realistic and it was like a puppet right? You could put your hand inside and make facial expressions if I recall correctly.
I used to create elaborate terrains for my Ninja Turtles in the woods behind my house. Me and my friends built breakaway bridges with scrap wood over trenches lined with landscaping plastic and rocks to make it like a river. We made cool “hangouts” for our toys from cardboard boxes painted to look like city buildings or surrounded with bark and rocks to look like a cave. We cut up some corrugated drain pipe to look like sewers connecting our Turtle “world”. We must have spent an entire summer playing with just that and jumping on the trampoline. Needless to say our toys got wrecked! But it sure was fun!!
If you were a kid in the 80s n 90s you were lucky enough to have these. Most kids in the last 10-15 years just stare at a screen, it’s a shame.
I am blessed to have my Donkey Kong & Frogger that were made my Coleco in the early 80’s.I am sure I could get close to a 75.00 to 100.00 for each of them,except they are so sentimental to me that I would feel richer keeping them.
I didnt grow up in the 80s.The 90s were me childhood but i have heard about a lot of these toys
When I was a kid, I had Smash Up Derby, Six Million Dollar Man, Jaws game, Matell Quick Change Machine, Nintendo Game & Watch, etc, etc.... All gone now. :(
I used to collect M.U.S.C.L.E. toys and I loved them all and I noticed they had different colors and styles it was amazing to my liking lol
This video made me cry , I had so many of these items but my childhood home burned down 😞😞😞
I miss my 80's childhood. Some things I had back then that I would give anything to have back.
3 Cabbage patch kids( Josepha Ida, Regina Daisy, and Argus Abbott)
Snoopy Snow Cone machine
A telephone for my room that had a rainbow for the handle and a cloud for the base. It played a song when it rang. ( I think a Beethoven piece)
Strawberry Shortcake set with all the people, their hair smelled so good!

I look back at my toys now and realize my parents did want to make me happy. I may have not gotten all my emotional needs meet but I sure as heck had amazing toys:) My kids really missed out having to grow up in the electronic era:( we also had the best cartoons and TV shows!! Get along gang, punky Brewster, facts of life, growing pains, rags to riches, Mr. Belvedere, silver spoons, Heathcliff the cat, small wonder, and so much more like the after school specials etc:) I miss my jelly shoes, my leg warmers, all of it.
You sure mentioned a lot from the 80s decade. Thank you for watching and sharing more for us to remember.
Love the get along gang
Between my sister and I, we had most of these toys, btw you have a great voice, I find it very relaxing.
Thank you for watching and I appreciate you kind words.
Old toys appreciate in value. Money is depreciating at alarming rates. Keep your old toys.
Anyone remember Wacky Packages and Garbage Pail Kids cards/stickers? I regret having thrown them out back then. I wonder how much they’d be worth today?
As a teen in 1980s I suffered from depression...Rainbow bright @ 6:52 made it worse...
I play my NES all the time. I love the 8 bit graphics, and games back then had uniqueness and originality unlike the games of today. I have a couple that I keep hooked up, and one that's CIB. It's not still sealed, but it's all there. That one I'm hanging on to for the memories.
True
Games were fun 🤩 back then
Yep, those games and a lot of SNES and even some N64 games are much better than games of the 2000s. They are much simpler, so fun to play and require no updates or add-ons.
I grew up in 1980, having been born in 83. However, as far as the NES, I got mine as a hand me down from my cousin who had outgrown the console . So when I outgrew it mom and I donated it to goodwill along with all my games for it
..figurine was worth 3.50 in the early 80s, and can be found on ebay nowadays for 39.95!
with inflation, thats the equivalent of 1.99 in 1984!
Thanks Rhett, most of these toys loved by my kids,
You're welcome and thank you for watching Monika!
