As you probably remember from childhood, companies used to attract customers – especially kids – with freebies by including toys in cereal boxes and fast-food meals. For kids, finding those toys was usually the best part of breakfast or the only reason to go to McDonald’s. While our parents perhaps weren’t too happy with those prize toys, they may feel differently after learning how much they’re worth. Due to their vintage value, old toys from brands like Kellogg’s or Postmates could be worth a fortune nowadays, making scouring through your old childhood collections worthwhile.
#1: Hot Wheels Toys from McDonald’s Happy Meals
Hot Wheels, a McDonald’s Happy Meal regular, sees its 1983 debut as the most prized. Though not as coveted, the 1993-1998 editions could still net you $20 each, a notable gain for items that come at no extra cost.
Owning all 14 models from the coveted 1983 Hot Wheels collection could significantly increase their value, proving that completeness enhances worth. This remarkable set ranges from Jeeps to Corvettes, capturing the essence of vehicular diversity.
