What if your old toy box, buried for a long time in the attic or cellar, actually hides a gem? Yes! It's no joke. Some toys that marked your childhood can now be worth hundreds, even thousands of euros! Here are the top 15 most sought-after old toys in 2025.
#15 NES and Super Nintendo (Nintendo) consoles
These video game classics are among the most sought-after items. Collectors love complete models with original box, manuals, and cables. Some rare games like Zelda or Metroid can even reach incredible prices (up to €15,000 for a sealed version).
#14 Vintage Playmobil (70s-80s)
The first Playmobil knights, cowboys or pirates that marked our childhood have today become highly sought-after collector's items, especially the versions from the 70s. Complete, well-preserved boxes can now be worth between €100 and €2,000, depending on the theme.
#13 Micro Machines (80s-90s)
These ultra-detailed mini-cars were all the rage in playgrounds. At that time, who would have imagined that a complete set of Micro Machines with its circuits could one day be worth the price of a used car (up to €2,500)?
#12 Collectible Barbies (before 1990)
Time flies so much that it is sometimes difficult to imagine that some Barbies have now become real museum pieces. Vintage models like the Barbie Ponytail #1 from 1959 or special editions fetch €1,000 to €25,000, depending on rarity.
#11 MOTU Figures – He-Man (He-Man, Mattel)
"By the power of the ancestral skull!" If you remember this phrase, you probably owned He-Man figures. So, know that the first editions of Mattel are worth a nice sum today (between €400 and €4,000).
#10 Big Jim (Mattel, 70s-80s)
A direct competitor of G.I. Joe, Big Jim has had many versions: spy, adventurer, athlete... The complete sets with original accessories are very popular. Their prices can reach almost €2,000 for some editions.
#9 The Tamagotchi (Bandai, 1996)
A few decades ago, Tamagotchi was the virtual friend everyone wanted. The first generations, especially the Japanese ones, are the rarest and most expensive today (between €150 and €1,000).
#8 Pogs and Kini (90s)
We used to trade them in the schoolyard, without knowing that some limited editions (promotional or rare) will be highly sought after, especially in complete sets. A well-stocked collection can currently be worth up to €1,000.
#7 Vintage LEGO (before 2000)
Some LEGO sets have become legendary, such as the Medieval Castle, the Pirate Ship, or the Millennium Falcon. Sealed boxes from that era now sell for €500 to €10,000.
#6 Polly Pocket (90s)
These little miniature worlds, often in the shape of a shell, once made little ones dream. Complete editions, especially in good condition, now sell for up to €800 per box.
#5 Original Game Boy (1989)
Many childhoods were marked by Nintendo's first portable console. If it still works perfectly, you can offer it for between €200 and €1,200.
#4 G.I. Joe figurines (80s)
G.I. Joe articulated warriors, especially versions with accessories and original packaging, are now worth between €200 and €5,000.
#3 First generation Pokémon cards (1999)
It's hard to imagine that some Pokémon cards sell for impressive sums at auction. The rarest ones, like the holographic Charizard 1st edition PSA 10 can be worth up to €350,000.
#2 The first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures (Playmates, 1988)
Before the cartoon, the first figures were produced in small quantities, which meant that they became rare collector's items (between €400 and €3,000 depending on the model).
#1 Star Wars figurines by Kenner (1977-1985)
This is the Holy Grail for collectors. Indeed, an original Luke Skywalker, Leia, or Boba Fett figurine can fetch a lot of money, especially if it has never been opened. Figurines have sold for up to €25,000.
