You may be very rich when you were a child, without even knowing it.

Many people may think that their memories of playing with their favorite childhood toys are priceless, but now some of them can be sold at surprisingly high prices.

For those who wish to take out old dolls, dolls or board games from their parents’ attic, sell them and retire, this may not happen. Still, there are more toys worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars than one might realize.

The price of the original Buzz Lightyear action figure has risen to infinity (sorry). According to recent eBay sales, people are willing to pay $150-200 for the 1995 Buzz Lightyear numbers.

Polly Pocket is a series of toys from the late 1980s. The series put small toy sets of small dolls into small boxes based on cosmetic powder boxes. Although new products are still being produced for the series today, antique sets from the early 90s can sell for hundreds of dollars if they are still unopened. For those who have actually played with the toys they used when they were young, large bundles of old Polly Pocket sets can also be sold for $700 to $900.

Many GI Joe action figures can sell for thousands of dollars. A set of vintage GI Joe dolls sold for US$30,000 on eBay, and the starting price of the Gi joe Defiant space shuttle complex in 1987 was US$17,000.

Although there may be nothing more painful than stepping on Lego barefoot, it may be helpful to understand that some Lego sets are worth a lot of money. For example, the 1995 Royal Knights Castle could sell for up to $3,000 if it was still in the box.

The ghostbusters firehouse and figurines in the 1984 movie may sell for more than $1,000, while the Lego Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters sells for hundreds of dollars online.

Many people know that some old Star Wars toys are worth a lot of money, but another popular science fiction movie from the 70s also has a toy series that has gained a lot of value.

To coincide with the release of the 1979 movie "Alien", Kenner released a single action figure of this nominal monster. Since it was adapted from an R-rated movie, this toy did not become popular. However, today, if it is still in the box, this figure can sell for more than $1,000. Even if the box is opened, people are willing to pay hundreds of dollars to get it.
