Rick from Pawn Stars: "I don´t know man...I´ll tell you what I´ll give you like 100 bucks, and I am taking a huge risk here."

[eggbert]

If I put $300, 000 worth of diamonds on a lump of plastic that I bought from the dollar shop, its going to be worth a lot of money too!

[ackers]

The barbie doll and diamond-encrusted hot wheels car shouldn't count. They were promotional one-offs that weren't made publicly available for purchase. Plus, it's the diamonds that gave them any value, not the toys themselves. This list is a bit flawed.

[rodneygreen]

You said toys are defined as being played with. Who is going to play with a diamond encrusted toy?

[JimWellsIsGreat]

Listed vs Sold; those are two completely different things.

[mcneese]

I feel like the toys that were encrusted with diamonds shouldn't be on this list. You'd be paying for the diamonds, not the toy they're covering.

[Matchbox]

The Matchbox "Tan Crane" under honorable mention originally was sold by me, Charlie Mack, owner of the Matchbox & Lesney Toy Museum in CT on Ebay for $10, 000 in 2000. I paid $10 for it. It went to a German buyer who sold it again a few years ago at an English auction house for $12, 000.

I don't know if number 1 should count on this list. The product is Barbie, yes. But this one is a specially made variation who's accessory (Her diamonds) that give her her value. She is not a variant toy made for mass production or planned for it.

That Beanie Baby guy should be a meme.

[daboz]

I'm a little confused by this list, for one I don't agree that a trading card is a 'toy', so that Pokemon thing was just a wasted space...

Secondly nobody could ever own prototypes, they weren't intended for mass production. I just thought this list was going to be comprised of things generally available to the public, though valuable through smaller quantities and desirability. This one was just all over the place...I mean if it was a list exclusively of prototypes that would've been neat but the mixing didn't work for me.

More often than not the stuff they didn't produce is more amazing than things they did.

[mooviedude]

Please let me come across one of these at a yard sale or something

[tammyforbes]

Crazy what some of this stuff can fetch in the right place and right time.

[adrianmaria]

That beanie baby guy saying “GLORY GLORY” had me dying😂😂😂

[loranddeka]

I had the He-Man and Battle Cat set as a kid.

[stephensy]

Some of those toys.. except the ones with diamonds may lose their value after some centuries when all the generations that known them or love them are dead. Most of those toys have high value because of nostalgia.. and you wont feel nostalgia if you didnt know about those toys and its origin

[WilliamHBaird-eqhp]

Nothing I would waste any money at all on here! Maybe the Matchbox 1960's Crane?

[NSMurley]

Out of everything being mentioned, I think that the diamond-encrusted Hot Wheels car is by far the most impressive. A little too expensive for my blood, but boy that this impressive as I'll get out! Truly, yes!

[dokkiro]

It's not worth that much until you sell it for that much. Collector's market can easily crash and once very valuable doesn't always stay valuable because people who collect certain toys they grew up with die from old ages. Baseball card market crashed because of that reason. Economy have a lot to do with fluctuating collector's market also. Another factor is market manipulation of collectors items. Just because it's sold at that price, it doesn't mean you can sell it for that price. Just try to sell your diamond ring you bought for 10, 000$. You'll be lucky to fetch 2, 000$

[darcyjousset]

I had the He-man and Battle Cat. I had most The he-Man Toys. onlything I didnt have was Castle Grey Skull and that Eternia base. I had Snake mountain though. But like most They are in a dump somewhere. Younger siblings suck sometimes lol
