I can't believe they are still making Care Bears stuff. My younger sister had like a dozen of the dolls. We really would buy anything back in the 80's.
Not only are they still selling Care Bears stuff, Walmart has a sizeable section of Care Bears toys, including blind boxes so you have no clue what you are getting. Lol.
I agree, we would by anything in the 80s. Remember Garbage Pail Kids? What about Mad Balls? 😂
Mad Balls no but Garbage Pail Kids was a huge hit at my school. There was probably some parental pushback about the popularity of those cards because some of them were pretty damn gross. I was a collector of baseball cards at the time but Garbage Pail Kids were a lot more fun.
I had this one in my collection and found it really disturbing. I just found out that one of these in mint condition is worth close to $800 now. The very first card ever produced called "Nasty Nick" is worth around 8 grand. Wow. I'm sure all of mine were very quickly destroyed.
It is amazing what some of that stuff we played with without a second thought back in the day is worth now. I mean, even just the boxes some of these toys and such came in is worth money. Several years ago, I saw a raincheck slip for an Atari 2600 with Asteroids, Space Invaders and Blackjack, I think it was, sell on eBay for $80. A receipt. 😳
haha, that's nuts. Well I wonder what we have from today if anything that is going to be worth anything. I can't think of anything that might but then again, when I started blowing up my Star Wars figurines in the 80's with fireworks because it was funny I didn't think they would be worth anything either.
A raincheck slip for 80 bucks. That's a crazy one but hell, just anything related to early gaming is worth a fortune. My family sold an original Pong machine with the box on a garage sale for 50 cents. I was surprised to find out that this is only worth like $50 for collectors.
I am right there with you on toys from the 80's. I was born in 1976 so I was prime age for the toy craze. I had tons of toys - 90% were knock-off figures from the local supermarket that had $3 to $5 toys around the checkout (Go-Bots was the only name brand toy I got around then). I had Japan imports for Macross, Mospeada, etc. All I knew was it was cheaper than Transformers, was cool because it was a robot and a vehicle, and my parents could afford to get it for me.
Same for He-Man. The 5 1/2 inch tall figure in that style was HUGE in the 80s. Especially the knock offs. I had tons of those. They were cheap as hell - some just came in a baggie from the local store for even cheaper. I would look at the wild text on the carded ones then grab the baggie version for $2 cheaper (that was a lot of money in the 80s). I don't know if they were damaged in shipping and the store was trying to recoup something or what, I just knew I could get 2, maybe 3, in a bag versus one on a card that I was going to tear up anyhow.
Then there were the yard sales! OMG. Model kits were WAY above my understanding but I got them anyhow.
It was a wild time to be alive.
I have since become a reseller to fund my collecting and sometimes I want to cry at the value of some of those toys, especially knock offs that absolutely no one took care of. 😂
I recall the massive toy stores and what a joy it was to go to them as a child. I loved board games as well and remember entire aisles of board games with new ones being released every month or so. I think that was a great time to be a kid.
Me gusta ver más la series infantiles que jugar juegos infantiles. La serie de los ositos cariñositos era tremenda, muy buena, en este jueguito sucede lo mismo que te comenté en el anterior, más que todo es para niños jeje, pero está cool. A mis sobrinos les gustaría
Estoy totalmente de acuerdo, los programas infantiles suelen estar dirigidos a un público bastante joven y no despiertan demasiado interés en los espectadores mayores o en los adultos.
A veces los juegos son sencillos, pero la mayoría también ofrecen algo para los jugadores mayores. Tal vez sea un desafío o los gráficos.
Pero te digo algo interesante? Ahora mi mamá que tiene más edad veo que le gustan más las caricaturas, dice que son menos dañinas para el cerebro. Quizá a medida del tiempo en el que vamos creciendo nos gustan los programas más empáticos, porque si te soy honesto... Los programas para adultos como películas y eso solo hablan de muerte de alguna u otra forma, quizá ella se dió cuenta de eso y ahora por eso escoge ver cosas menos nocivas :/
You may be right. Movies and such aimed at adults, at least the ones that seemingly make tons of money, are definitely pushing themes that are violent in some way.
Even older cartoons that had violence in them often had moments of empathy between the characters at some point. Like Tom and Jerry, Sylvester and Tweety, the Flintstones, etc. They all had violence of some sort but also many times the characters showed support to each other, went through things together and more.
Growing up, I was never into the violent stuff. There are many types of violence I simply don't care to see and will avoid anything that features it.
Ojalá el mundo algún día cambie y la gente vea como son las cosas en realidad, la gente tiene que dejar caer esa venda de los ojos y entender que hablar de violencia incluso de forma indirecta no es sano 😔 y mucho menos mostrarlo por tv, osea los niños ven la tv
