Raised in 1980, some of my favorite toys belonged to 3 and 3 / 4 inch high GI Joe action figure line. After buying a few vintage Joes on Ebay as an adult, I enjoyed the nostalgia provided and decided to gather again. Ebay provided an endless supply, but I had a problem. What they were actually worth it? An eBay auction only is a good barometer of the value of an item, but I was a good deal on an auction, or I paid too much? Iwas shocked to see some figures close to hundreds of dollars.
I searched everywhere on the internet for a GI Joe Price Guide, but could find none. I ended up buying a book collector and I saw thousands of auctions to get an idea of what were the different GI Joe figures and vehicles worth. Not only have I learned a lot about 1980, Joe, I was also raised about the characters and vehicles sold by early 1990 - to the toys sold intoday.
As a toy collector is not only a fun hobby for thousands of people, is also a great investment. If we consider that the value of something depends entirely on what someone is willing to pay, and that any investment involves risk, toys have always been popular collectibles Usually increase in value over time. They remind us of pleasant childhood memories or memories of a son or daughter early. A couple of things that add special value HasbroGI Joe line: sometimes approaching cult status, decent quality and longevity that spans over 40 years.
If the joy is in the collection, the only motivation providing 3 and 3 / 4 inch GI Joe and Cobra forces do to much. There are a variety of fascinating characters and vehicles for the collection. It 's the thrill of finding rare variants and sets. A display of simple pleasure is very poseable Collectibles, and when characters and vehicles that are broken orincomplete, generally can be fixed or added. There are sub-hobbies such as creating custom characters and displays dioramas explore. Finally, a toy library is one that can be shared with children or friends, and finally handed down through generations.
