Toy markets create new products each year that young children absolutely love and go crazy over. A new toy is a piece of good news to a kid but for their old toys (if they are alive like how it is in the Disney Movie, Toy Story), it means competition and it’s not something they should be happy about.
When a new toy comes around and wins the attention of children, many of their old toys get easily forgotten. However, there are childhood favorite toys that are just too good enough to be forgotten and are around forever.
Timeless toys that have made it to the present time may get an upgrade thanks to technology, whereas some remain unchanged but value ten times more than before!

Tamagotchi
Originally sold for just $18 and now valued at $200, we could really say the Tamagotchi has come a long way. The ‘Tamagotchi’ is a name made up of two Japanese words that mean “egg” and “watch”. It was created in 1996 by Japanese inventors Akihiro Yokoi and Aki Maita. The tiny pocket toy gave taught children how to properly take care of a virtual pet. After it became a hit in the toy market, Aki Maita, one of the inventors received a Nobel Prize award in economics. This toy became one of the biggest things in the ’90s and today, it has over 80 million sales with its updated release. The Tamagotchi may be a small toy, but it receives big love from its patrons.

Furby
Consumers weren’t even sure what animal this toy impersonated, but that didn’t stop them from getting their hands on it. Parents were in absolute chaos over securing one for their kid. But, we totally get it though, who wouldn’t fall for Furby, the cute, furry, and talking toy created by Tiger Electronics? In over 12 months, around 27 million Furbies were sold, its price even went up to nearly $300! Today, this furry toy can be very valuable if in good condition, and it’s still being made.
