People of all ages seem to love toys, especially toys from around the time they were children themselves.
Collection of toys, many more than a fun hobby, is aInvestments. Most older games are very rare, especially in better conditions and / or the original packaging. Of course the best condition and if a toy is still in original package greatly influenced its value.

Well, even though a long time, "grew up, he continues, the collection of action figures to add more to her. He says he had no intention of selling anyhis toys older because of their sentimental value.

A complete set of a certain series often carry twice the price or even more than paid for them, and you get burgers, fries and a drink to boot! Once a series is interrupted, it can become very difficult to find this missing from your collection, especially if you insist on mint in bags. "Serious collectors often spend $ 5 for$ 10 for a toy that needs a complete set. Of course, some of the old "Happy Meal" toys of the 70s and 80s are worth much more.
