Fans of collecting vintage toys?

[CrystalWolf]

Sorry if this doesn't fit in this board, if it doesn't I'd be happy to make this thread in a more fitting thread board, just tell me if I should move it.

I was wondering if anyone else on this website collects vintage toys, I personally love to collect 1998 Furbies! I know that Furbies aren't for everyone, but I love them and so I collect them! I currently have 9 Furbies, but only 6 of them work. I also have a mini McDonalds furby that my cousin gave me.

Yes, I collect 2nd hand dolls & doll stuff. Mostly Barbie, but I’ve recently developed an interest in Strawberry Shortcake, too.

I'm a self-appointed historian of the flying model aircraft sold by Jim Walker under the American Junior Aircraft name.

This was the model in the US patent for U controlled model flight, so it was the very first.
Built Fireball circa 1945:

Post 1949 Fireball kit:

1955 kit: I have a Jim Walker engine for this build

A few years ago I collected die-cast toy cars... Mainly European cars, companies like Dinky Toy, Corgi, Solido, other brand names... I still have a small collection of them, but switched from that to collecting vintage photos 10 years ago, that collection is getting quite large now

I have a quite sizable collection of diecast cars and trucks myself

Collecting vintage toys is one of my main special interests. I mostly collect 80s and 90s dolls but I am also a Disney Princess fan and a Star Wars fan here are some photos of my collection:

This is a battery operated noisemaker that simulates a motorbike engine on a bicycle or tricycle
It was found in the semi-tattered original carton

Most of the the die-cast cars I've collected in the past were made before I was even born! But then many of collections also pre-date when I was born
