| Looking at what prices the old retro toys are selling | | | | months and are retired afterwards never to return |
| nowadays, I feel like pulling out the few hairs I've got | | | | again. Next year a new animal is chosen to be the |
| left. If only I hadn't trashed my old toys when I was a | | | | new seasonal Webkinz. So within a year these retired |
| kid. If only I had known the future value of my Dinky | | | | Webkinz are flaming hot and really wanted by |
| Toy cars, German train sets, and my made in Japan | | | | collectors. For instance a Webkinz Love Puppy ( last |
| robots then, my house would have had a drive way | | | | years Valentines special) is being sold on Ebay for up |
| and a classic Corvette would have been on it. If Only I | | | | to $250,- and more, the retail price would have been |
| Had. | | | | about $12,- thats a whopping 2000 return on |
| Retro toys really are golden investments, as we grow | | | | investment and prices are still rising steeply. My wife |
| older and get hit by nostalgia, many of us are willing to | | | | who got involved into Webkinz because of our kids, |
| splash out for the toys we used to play with or didn't | | | | discovered what a good return buying and selling |
| get when we were kids. A Japanese battery | | | | retired Webkinz could give, she already sold dozens of |
| operated tin robot in good condition sold for $15000,- at | | | | them. The demand is still rising, just buy the retired |
| a London toy auction. When I was a kid I had several | | | | ones and you almost can't go wrong, keep them for a |
| of them, and their ending was gruesome as me and | | | | while and then put them up for sale again. Eventually |
| my best mate used the robo's for BB gun target | | | | any Webkinz will retire but it takes much longer for |
| practice, the robots were the Martian aliens invading | | | | them to retire than the seasonal ones who are only on |
| our garden and we had to fight them off. Bye bye | | | | the market for a very limited time. |
| Japanese Robots. Bye Bye early retirement. If Only I | | | | This is a pretty interesting toy niche that can only |
| Hadn't. | | | | become more interesting when Webkinz is launched |
| But for all of us a second chance has come up, and | | | | overseas. For the moment Webkinz are only being |
| the magic word is Webkinz. Not just any Webkinz but | | | | sold in the USA and Canada. The Webkinz fans |
| the retired ones, the thing is Ganz ( the maker of | | | | though already come from all over the world, and an |
| Webkinz) releases special seasonal Webkinz for | | | | international launch will make the hype and demand for |
| Christmas, Halloween, Easter and Valentines Day. | | | | retired Webkinz only bigger. Go for it and grab a piece |
| These Webkinz are only for sale for a couple of | | | | of the cake I would say. |
