It isn’t just Polly Pocket. Vintage toys have always been collectable and some of the Polly Pocket sold prices on eBay are unbelievable. I collect certain vintage dolls and toys and belong to a number of those groups. There are some real die hard fans of vintage toys about who pay big money to secure something missing from their collection and a whole lot more if it’s MIB.

Yes! I never had them as a kid as we couldn’t afford them, so may go but a few!

Op shops are terrific places for searching for retro toys.

True the Polly Pockets in shops are so expensive. I cam across one of my daughters old Polly pockets the other day. The daughter is now 35! I must admit it is cute but missing Polly and a lot of parts.

Some toys and other products seem to cycle and retro toys can easily come back into fashion. We enjoy new and retro toys.

Yes ! I think it’s because they released the new ones too. It gets people feeling sentimental. Plus, they are a very cute toy

I LOVE vintage polly pockets, I’ve kept mine from childhood! I dream of finding them in opshops – I think I would faint! I don’t even look at ones for sale online because the prices are so dear!
