The 1990s were a great decade to grow up in.
There were no smartphones, no Google, and no digital TV. All you had to get by was your wit, imagination and, most important of all, your toys.
Super soakers; Game Boys; Tamagotchis; Lego – kids were well and truly spoilt for choice back then and the best part is, some of these beloved toys are actually worth a surprising amount today.
Here are a few to look out for.
9. Super Soakers
The original and best pump-action, long-range water pistol.
Super Soakers go for serious money online now, with one pristine edition dating back to 1990 selling for just over £125 (€140) on eBay.
8. Furbies
Annoying as they might have been, an original Furby doll is actually worth a pretty penny today, with some selling for anywhere up to £400 (€455).
Bet you regret throwing yours in the bin now, right?
7. Pokemon Cards
Pokemon cards were big business back in the day and while they may seem largely redundant to most Pokemon Go players now, some can fetch crazy amounts.
This first generation Charizard card, for instance, sold for a whopping £1,755.70 (€2,000) on eBay!
6. Game Boy 'Colors'
While original edition Game Boys are also worth a fair amount today, it’s the follow-up handheld Nintendo console, the Gameboy Color that could leave you feeling flush.
Well maintained editions can fetch over £1,000 (€1,140) online.
5. My Little Pony
A favourite among kids growing up in the 90s, standard My Little Pony dolls fetch around £50 (€56) on eBay.
However, complete, well-maintained sets can go for up to £150 (€170)
4. Tamagotchis
The perfect pet for anyone with parents who really weren’t keen on cats or dogs.
Tamagotchis recently made a comeback, but an original working version can go for anywhere up to £100 ($115) on eBay.
3. Easy bake ovens
The perfect gift for anyone who loved baking or just plain old cakes for that matter, a classic Easy Bake oven was last sold for around £500 (€570) on Amazon.
Those cakes had better be tasty.
2. Old Lego Sets
Complete Lego sets represent one of the most lucrative old school toy markets going, thanks to the huge demand among adults and children.
Sets can go for somewhere in the region of £100 (€115) while the Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon set, which was released in 2007, sells for close to £5,000 (€5,700) on Amazon!
1. Polly Pockets
Much like Might Max playsets in their compact design, vintage Polly Pockets are worth a bit more than they male-focused counterparts.
Vintage sets selling for as close to £300 on eBay.
