The most expensive toy from the 70s is ''DIVORCED BARBIE". The doll comes with Ken's house, Ken's car, and half of his bank account.
Wicked humour.(love it)
Lots of these toys I remember being from being born in the 1960s. I was in my prime as a kid when most of these things were coming out in the 70s. The Evil Knieval I had that when it came out here in the UK early 70s, when I sore that price I nearly dropped my cup of coffee. Star wars, Spiderman, Six Million Dollar Man we had but I don't remember the space probe at all. Those toys back then were better-made products than the made-in-China rubbish that drop to pieces these days. Thank you, Don. Charles in the UK
Seeing the Maverick model, reminds me of the gold/ black and grey upholstery real Maverick, my dad drove!
As a kid in the 70s I had a few of these toys. I remember the Jawa with the vinyl cape and the Darth Vader with that particular light Saber. I also had the Evil Kneivel stunt bike and the big godzilla as well as a whole bunch of the red line hot wheels cars. Back then we had no idea they would be worth anything in the future. We got them dirty and eventually they broke and got tossed out.
Thank you, Don. I still have the original 3 D&D manuals, but I only have the bottom half of the box, but as a bonus, I do have the chainmail booklet which was for large-scale battles. I guess I'll have to get around to listing it one of these days.
I just ordered a Colorforms kit; Nostalgia overload!
These are some great memories of toys I had as a kid. I grew up in the 70's and Mego's lineup of Superheroes action figures was one of my favorite toys. That and the Planet of the Apes. I did have what I thought were rare Mego Superheroes. I got them in the mail, they were exclusive mail-ins that included Kid Flash in a Yellow suit, Aqua-Lad, Wonder Girl, and Speedy if I remember correctly. Plus I had EVERY one of the Marvel and DC Superheroes as well. The Fantastic 4️⃣, 🕷🕸Spider-Man🕸🕷, the Green Goblin, the Lizard, the Hulk, Thor, Iron-Man, Captain America, the Falcon, Tarzan, Conan, 🦇🦇Batman🦇🦇, ®️®️Robin®️®️, Catwoman, the 🐧🐧Penguin🐧🐧, the 🃏🃏Joker🃏🃏, the ❓❓Riddler❓❓, Superman, Aquaman, Mr.Myxlplkk(however you spell that name?), Wonder-Woman, and the others I'm forgetting. Also the Planet of the Apes action figures as well & some of the playsets. As a kid I had two main toy loves. Hot Wheels and Matchbox/Lesney/Corgi Jr's., and Mego Superheroes action figures. Until I hit 8-10 years old,and Star Wars figures were soon on the way I was really only into those figures. Later I got into AFX/Tyco Slot car racing 🏎🏁🏎 as well as Sizzlers too. But my biggest love was always the action figures and I really really wish that they didn't get tossed around, lost, stolen, or thrown out. I had some really cool items. I don't sell my collectibles. I started re-collecting action figures with Toy Biz, mid 2000's as well as Star Wars figures in many different years. It's amazing and SAD to look back and see the wonderful memories, childhood toys and adventures, but extremely sad and very painful to see those same items worth a lot of money and your were tossed aside. That hurts!
Lite Brite and Easy-Bake Oven(green)
Wow!! Good Thing I Still Have My Old Hot Wheels
I still lament not keeping my toys from the 70's. I loved my Evil Knievel. Does anyone remember Micronauts? And think a might have had the GI Joe Jaws of death set. I remember playing with a giant clam with GI Joe. I'll never know, because everything is gone. Damn
That kineval motorcycle weighed 5 lbs. And was indestructible.
I got the Batman Action figure in 1973 when my Grandma Bought it for me back in the day!Thanks!
I remember my cousin getting that Alien doll and scaring my grandmother because she didn't like the second row of teeth coming out. LOL
While that's a hilarious story, scaring 👵Grandmas👵 while funny isn't always nice. But as a kid I also loved scaring the wits out of everyone!
I found 100, first year, Red Lines at a thrift shop for $200 in dead mint condition. I sold them all over one summer for about $7000. Crazy thing was I left them at the store for an hour while waiting for the manager to return to negotiate. I talked him down from $250. Dumbest hour of my life. Probably should have doubled my prices and waited. Hot Wheels collectors have deep pockets.
I had a lot of these toys . The crazy part is Id get them out the trash on trash day . I always imagined Some kids mother would clean out his room and throw away old toys to make room for new ones . Days before Christmas it was incredible!!! That’s when I found the Godzilla and mazinger Z . And countless Megos ! Great time wish I knew then what I know now
Great information as always toys are fun to collect
Well I had 10 of those toys, lol. Spiderman was my favorite toy and is still my favorite superhero. I played with the Godzilla and Raydeen a lot also. I had the Space 1999 Eagle with the action figures, a lot of the Six Million dollar man toys, and I still have my Six Million dollar man fan club envelope with the stuff inside it. Also had Fonzie where you could raise his thumbs and has a level in the back to raise his hands, lol. My mom actually still has him. Of course later Star Wars and I had almost all of the toys, since we lived in Cincinnati, OH, it was easy to get them.
Thanks Don, and I should probably thank you as well for making me notice Teacups & Saucers!
I remember a kid who had the Spiderman in 2nd grade in 1975 he was cool.
Great content as usual Don. I'm guessing the people who buy these items are collectors but also view them as investments
Major Matt Mason, Kiddles, Dr. Seuss models, early Barbie outfits Wacky Racers , Ooohh, come on...,. Captain Action and especially his outfits, mint and complete!
Thank you for that trip down memory lane. I am collector of all things bionic and would love to one day own the fembot. I have all of the other characters except the fembot and Big Foot (who is also expensive).
My older brother Ron collected Hot Wheels and RC toys, he had a 1971 Green Lantern Dodge Challenger Hot Wheels, I really wanted it because I had a thing for Link's 1971 gold Challenger convertible on The Mod Squad. I looked and looked for a lime green one like his, could only find orange ones and one purple one, so I bought the purple one and traded him for the green one. His favourite toy was a RC Sherman tank as a kid, now he has a 5+ foot replica of Air Wolf that I want.
My younger brother Tim had the Shogun Warriors and the Godzilla, still does actually. Those were fire hazards, surprised they weren't recalled, it used a flint chip like in a Zippo lighter. One time we started a fire to kindling and papers with the Godzilla in a sandbox with the sparks that shot out of his mouth just to see if we could.
I was a science nerd, collected comics, all things Star Wars and played hockey. Had all the OG Star Wars figures, even Snaggletooth who was never in any Star Wars movies. Can't find him anywhere anymore.
And the 12" GI Joe dolls had the weirdest feeling hair, I would just sit watching tv rubbing their heads.
Plum Crazy Purple, that was the colour I traded for the green Lantern Challenger. Turned out the Plum Crazy was more rare than the Green Lantern. Orange was the one everyone had, it was called Go Mango Orange.
Some of the Early Bird versions of Luke Skywalker came with a telescoping Light Sabre, too. Mine didn't but some did. Also, in my memory, ALL of the Jawas were released with vinyl capes and then after many months, Kenner came out with the cloth cloak. I might have just been in one of the markets that had both, though. Cool video! I had/have several of these.
Great job
Heads Up Don. The eBay seller that you recommend to purchase the 2-in tape dispenser now has an eBay feedback rating of 97.9%.
Still have a schwinn pea picker, orange karate, red line hot wheels" 70"sBMX frames , Ludwig stainless steel drum sets, daisy double barrel BB gun, a green penn reel from the 70"s , can't believe we used some redline hot wheels as roller skates, a pair of clackers with some chips , my first taco mini bike, a 78 yz 80, but wish I'd kept 2 maico"s and a 68 SE charger
No, we didn't save our first TV Guide, from 1959 had a Milton Berle caricature on its cover.
EK best toy I ever got for Christmas
So informative! Thank you!
Thanks for the video and information 👍
Holy moly! TY for education!
Still have my Evel Knievel!
I had the whip lightsabers for Vader and Luke. Don't remember Obi-Wan? I didn't think they looked good...lol I gave all my StarWars toys to a school mates younger brother. I had the Space Station, Vader's ship and Luke's land speeder. And X-Wing Fighter. And the lizard thing the Stormtroopers road on. The action figure just went into the body of the lizard with a spring hatch on top. That cost $10 at the time. I also had many of the figures and I kept the boxes for the toys. Too bad I gave everything away...lol
I had an Evel Knievel toy like the one you showed at the beginning of the video. Later got a second one in which Evel had a red suit. But my favorite toy growing up was definitely my GI Joes. I had many over the years and lots of outfits and play sets, including the astronaut in the space capsule, the deep sea diver and lots more. I still have one of my GI joes figures but it is not in good shape.
OMG I HAD THAT EVEL KANEVAL
Toys, toys, toys❗️❗️❗️ I love'em...🤘🏼💯✔️
I do have 70s collections from both sasquatch and six million dollarman steve Austin and megos planet of apes and villian joker and some star wars kenner and battlestargalactica cylons and emperous leader and spock small figurine from star yrek motion pictures etc.
Wow, alot different toys there some i never knew their existence ie Bruce Wayne's mansion, the robot from 6 million Dollar Man so i guessing here that items you mentioned were limited so i recon that was only been released in the States?? 😮
I had almost all of those toys when I was growing up except the alien I was actually hoping you would say get smart was in that lot but he wasn’t I still have him
Just found the 1974 version of that WGSH Spider-Man in the last storage auction I won
I have Spidey, Shazam, Aquaman, and Captain America. They are still fighting crime and keeping me safe!
I still have my Godzilla, still in good shape and still launches the fist just fine. :)
Great info would you please post one for Disney plush or if you have recommendations to it . Thanks
Just wondering what Big Jim is selling for as well as his Baja Beast. Also a full sized 12 inch GI Joe?
Cool video! Too bad the episode one Star Wars figures haven’t gone up in value yet?
I had the evel chopper. It wasn’t as popular. I’ll check some sites to see what it’s worth these days. Thanks!
I had a vinyl cape Jawa 🤦🏼♂️
I had the Godzilla toy when I was a kid
I never hear about Major Matt Mason. Anyone remember him?
Hey,isn't that the guy from clerks movies 🎬 😂
More toy bolos, please!
I hate watching these shows.....they always show toys that I had as a boy and treated as throw away toys ...i had almost every toy shown...i played with them,,,,tore them up,lost them,,,and NOW DAYS THEY'RE CRAZY VALUABLE.....
All I have left from the 70's is some dried up Silly Putty and a broken Etch-A-Sketch!
My Spiderman doll like the one in your video is from 1977, any value?
Do you know what's going on with eBay - I keep getting a message to update/verify my account info before 10/26 to receive payment and I do the updates but then get an email saying I haven't provided everything needed. When I log in and click the warning, it says , essentially, "we are still processing your update".
Be very very ⚠️cautious⚠️ with stuff like this. Sometimes they are looking for any information on or about your profile either on eBay or elsewhere. All they need is one thing and if it's the right one thing they can access your account and try to rip you off. BE CAREFUL!!
I watch these vintage toy videos, and I get sick in my stomach.
no sir the Venus space probe had 1 2-parter and another 3-parter story. It was featured on screen for a while
I’ve never even seen the Wonder Woman Greek outfit . Or Dick Grayson. Or the circle Spider-man.
I have my verti-bird in the box.
Sadly with these inflationary times, $1000 won't go too far in buying groceries and fuel, but better than nothing I guess, lol
How about an episode of toys from the 1980s
Is there a market for vintage TV Guides?
Honestly there is a "market" for just about anything. Magazines, Toys, Comic books, sports cards, Hot Wheels, Matchbox, and other Die-Cast cars, Star Wars, and recently Funko Pops, Marvel Legends, Star Wars Black Series figures and the Vintage series. TV Guides, Time Magazines, Mad Magazines, basically there's someone else out there who also loves and collects something you might have. Some more than others, some less than others, but there are people out there.
Why did I destroy or lose or give away all my redline Hot wheels 😢
What the heck I didn't have one of those toys. Guess those Mego Planet of the Apes I've been hanging onto since 1974 aren't worth much either especially since Mego reissued them in all their meh (facially they could have all been better) glory. I see NECA is reissuing their vintage POTA figures from 2013 had no idea they ever existed, now those facially are much better.
Please do a video on "Girl Toys"....

What about Farrah Fawcett's favorite shower head?
That fellow on the right in the thumbnail, I believe I saw him at a Taco Bell
Hot wheels hot wheels hot wheels !
I know you have a habit buying cardboard boxes from Walmart, I went to
We do not buy our boxes from Walmart. We use a local box manufacturer as it's much cheaper, and we buy in mass bulk.
I had a Godzilla, but you can bet the box was gone the day after Christmas.
how drunk do you have to be to pay 2 grand for a watter wiggles..?
I used to think EK was so cool.....until I got yelled at for climbing on his airplane at Minnesota Dragways....1971.
Screw him!
The Venus Place Probe appeared in two sets of SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN two-parters, while the killer Fembots (no relation to Austin Powers at all) had two appearances, including a three-parter that that was on Man and BIONIC. WOMAN.
