The Most Valuable Fisher-Price Toys In History

[@timthegem]

The timing of this video being posted is amazing. I just lost a sibling today, and we used to play with a lot of those little people sets back in the '70s. Thank you for the nostalgia at such an emotional time. It made me smile and cry.

[@ErikGerm]

truly sorry for your loss. thank you for sharing these memories with us. 🫂

[@ruipacheco2939]

So sorry for your loss.... Sending you strength to overcome this dificult time...

[@thejourney1369]

So very sorry for your loss.

[@Maxtyur]

😂😂

[@mikehughes4969]

I had the castle, the cash register, the house, the garage, and the farm. I drove my parents crazy with the mooing door, but I loved it. My absolute favorite was the houseboat, and I vividly remember taking it all over the world on various expeditions that took place all over our house. Wish I still had all of them.

[@HomebrewHorsepower]

The mooing door was every kid's favorite.

[@wile-e-coyote8371]

Yeah, I had them too. If only life were still that simple. 🫤

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

I only recall the activity center and the cash register from my childhood. What I want to know is who made the infamous sit and spin? That toy was hilarious!

[@VintageCharms]

I still have my Little People play house and all it’s parts from when I was a kid in the 80s. I’ll never get rid of it 😊

[@Yogagirl9935]

Wow! That’s impressive! We had a lot of the play sets, but not all of the accessories. I think my grandmom got some of them at garage sales

[@ephesians.6]

If I still had it, it would def take more than a few hundred bucks to get me to part with it. You're smart for keeping yours!

[@4morantz]

yeah screw it. I’ll watch a video about fisher price toys

[@BillyBulletPewPew]

💯

[@anFy81]

especially since I noticed some of the stuff.. we might be ritch b!tch!

[@davidguardado4739]

🤣🤣🤣 Luv it 👍

[@fearandloathingmedia2051]

Marry me lmao

[@Shinzon23]

....yup

[@Bowie_E]

My little one has the cash register in the thumb nail! My sister got it for her at a thrift store. It's faded and you can't see the stickers anymore, but she loves it anyway 🤗

[@kallen868]

I lost my mind in 1974 seeing that Play Family Castle under the Christmas tree just for me! Probably my favorite childhood gift I ever recieved.

[@andrewferguson5653]

I was born in 1968, and this brings back so many memories!

[@leslietarkin]

My favorite was the barn. I have such wonderful memories of playing with that toy.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

The playsets are wonderfully made.

[@ApKieras]

By little Chinese people 😢

[@kristen34896]

And the other play sets like the doctor play set, etc. we still have a few of these that our new generation plays with! Solidly built!

[@e.b.1728]

I grew up in the 70's and had a number of these toys. Thanks WH for that brief walk down memory lane!

[@Blitzkrieg1976]

Love this episode! Such nostalgia...I had a little people boat for the tub, and my Nana had the whole sesame street setup that we played with at her house. I miss those days! Late 70's and on!

[@Timenow1]

Taking me back to 1976 in Preschool, we had ALL these toys.....plus wonderfully made kitchen set from a fridge down to each dining room chairs out of fine wood... our grandparents sure made things that lasted!!!! P.S: Everytime I eat Goulash, cut up hot dogs in Spaghetti & Tree Top Apple juice.....it takes me back to Preschool meals.....Yummmm

[@PoliteTeeth]

This is exactly why I love this channel. How else would I know so many toys from the 60s-80s can sell for $300 on eBay. Bravo.

[@tendingourgarden]

I just remembered playing with the Fisher Price Little People Garage in a waiting-room somewhere in the '90s.... Childhood memory unlocked.

[@medusagorgo5146]

About 20 years ago, I bought a huge amount of little people items, play sets, boats, individual figures and accessories just for nostalgia purposes and I have them displayed, I had no idea that they appreciated.

[@vonderloo3184]

Yep we had the barn, house & garage sets. I loved my peoples.😅

[@lorisharpe7397]

I had most of these toys, but my fave was the medical kit, which I still have, in mint condition. I was 4 when my parents bought it, in 1978, and now I have grands, and they love looking at it. We also have the record player with all the records, and we listen to it EVERYTIME they come over. I have the Farmer in the Dell running through my thoughts all day...😂😊

[@paul8926]

I had the Fisher Price family play farm, loved every minute of it !

[@darrenkrivit6854]

Never realized how many FP playsets I had (born '65) as a kid! I pretty much had every set presented. Thanks Mom & Dad!

[@aliceincraftland3388]

I loved Little People play sets!!! I had the castle, AFrame House, Circus Train, the Bus, furniture sets, Sesame Street playset...these were some of the toys that would keep me busy for hours! I also used to cut up boxes to make my own doll houses for my LP. Thanks Weird History for the nostalgia!!!

[@nazfan01]

I am always looking for and buying Fischer-Price toys at Goodwill. Found a 1960s wood clock with the big red hand dials that still works.

[@UncleMikeDrop]

We tried using balloons as currency, but inflation was killing us.😜

[@villain68]

I had some of the little people figures I think I had a bus too. I remember playing with the little people garage set but it was at some other kids house. I miss the 70's!

[@YoungGandalf2325]

I'm so glad I never played with my Fisher Price toys when I was three years old and left them unopened in the box so I could sell them decades later. Wait, that didn't happen...

[@TheEnabledDisabled]

You had me until the end

[@vaderbaby]

My favorite Fischer Price toy was the Little People Farm. I had the original in the late 60s.

[@lenevee4925]

I moved out of my parents home 16 years ago but I will be returning soon to rummage through their attic $$

[@aniE1869]

I remember playing with most of these in preschool in the early 90s. I bet my teachers now wish we kept our grimy little hands off them now. 😁

[@kurlykaitlyn]

My friend had that castle from the 90s!! We would play all different ways! I was so jealous!! 😂

[@DrinkYourNailPolish]

I was born in 82 and remember quite a few of the little people toys. I distinctly remember the barn and the house. I think my pre-k or kindergarten had those toys.

[@davidguardado4739]

I remember my brother had that little cash till with coins... He loved it! I remember how often he played with it when he was little 😄✌️

[@EilonwyG]

Same with my little brother!

[@Friendship1nmillion]

And in both of your cases , your little brother's cash till set was eventually donated to somewhere like a salvation army store after your parents did a clean up when your brother grew out of playing with toys . ♑️✍️🇳🇴🇦🇺

[@emilyking1177]

As a kid born in 1999, I actually grew up playing with a lot of these sets from my older siblings (my oldest sister was born in 1979 and she had hand-me-downs). My mom sold all of them about 6-7 years ago and I’m still mad about it. What a cool piece to still have for my future kids.

[@Friendship1nmillion]

Money isn't everything , although condolences for your loss of what could have been . ♑️✍️🇳🇴🇦🇺

[@shadowling1478]

my daughter was playing with vintage little people just this week. the house, barn, bus, and playground

[@Shannonbarnesdr1]

i had a lot of the fisher price toys from the 70s, like the farm, the airport with extra accessories, the circus train, etc. and i had them on display on a she;f in my office, i sold them in 2015 to help pay for a move and it ended up covering moving truck, first and last rent, security deposit and some groceries for the new home and fridge :-)

[@chrismayer3919]

When I was a kid, my fave FP line was the adventure people.

[@angeledanielle.5793]

Omg grandma had the play house. That was always my favorite thing to play with. Plus all the little people figures. 😢 aweh makes me miss her and grandpa..😢❤

[@scottnotpilgrim]

Two Weird History videos in two days? Why thank you

[@f.michaelbremer-cruz2708]

Thanks for sharing this video, I happened to have grown up with the entire Little People sets featured here. I recall a few friends getting the cash register when it was new. I used to setup the Village near the Play House, across from the Barn, to create a little cityscape, which kept me entertained for hours. When we outgrew these toys, Mom asked us if we'd mind them being donated to a family in need at Yuletide. We agreed it was time to let them go to a new family, who we understood were delighted to have them. That said, it is remarkable how much some people are willing to pay for those old toys today. As such, I'd imagine they'd be surprised to learn how resilient those toys were to being submerged in the simulated floods I'd create for the Little People to navigate. Just like the real adults I knew were dealing with real flooding, it was my childlike way to process some scary things.

[@Justin-Hill-1987]

When I first attended kindergarten classes in 1992, they still had some of these vintage Little People playsets on the shelves of the classroom to play with once playtime came around...

[@yoyoglock4]

I had the posable adventure people sets in the late 70's. So many great memories!

[@serenity-meow]

I still have all my little people sets from the 70s-80s!! Seeing the old ads makes me want to sort all the accessories and see how complete they are.

[@kristen34896]

Family still has the complete barn set. Door still moos but the horse recently fell apart due to old age 😢 I remember the parking garage set really well too. I can still remember the smell of the plastic coins from the cash register set 🤣 Good times, man.

[@lynntaylor9681]

One of my friends had the toy cash register when I was a kid. Whenever I used to visit her in 1985, we played with it together. I didn't know it was over ten years old at the time. Just found that out today from this video.

[@JoJoJoker]

@6:37 40¢ gas seems like a good deal until you realize gold was $50 per ounce in 1970.

[@ec6052]

Don't forget the castle had a trap door, you should warn any new monarchs so they don't end up in the dungeon

[@JuhiSRK]

No Fisher-Price growing up. I lived near the Marx toy factory so I got plenty of those. Big Wheels were awesome.

[@jimbobbyhutchinson313]

I loved the parking garage and the farm. I also remember having an A-Fram home with carrying handle.

[@csailer2353]

A lot of vintage toys are worth big bucks today. Mainly b/c back in the day kids took much better care of their toys. You can find almost mint condition ones still out there. Can’t say the same for most of the toys from the 90s and beyond unless someone bought them specifically to collect, and didn’t let anyone play with them. Kids don’t generally respect their toys today. I know we did growing up as you didn’t get replacement toys, so you played with them but also wanted them to last a long time before they broke. I want to catalog what toys remain and sell some off. We got originally Star Wars, transformers, cabbage patch dolls, my little pony, hot wheels, gi joe, etc. at one point there was a Sesame Street fisher price apartment building play set with all the characters but I think it got sold at a garage sale years ago.

[@sylviemac1971]

Omg I remember the garage! The farm ! Play family house! This was a fun episode 😊

[@hipp_katt]

I was born in 82, and I remember playing with pretty much all of these in day care or Kindergarten. They were so cool

[@hipp_katt]

Oh hey, I have the play Family House! Just none of the pieces inside, but fully functional house😁

[@madi_ss]

Wow! Vivid flashbacks! My grandparents had Fisher Price sets back when I was a kid from when my mom was young.

[@dawng.8836]

Little people toy line is still my favorite gifts to give

[@pauldefillippo8490]

I got to play with most of those little people play sets, I had older cousins that got them new back in the seventies and I got them used in the 80s. We used to love those barn doors.

[@Midlife_Manical_Mayhem]

i loved mine and my brother's early 70s fisher price toys. i also had a camera that had a square "bulb" that would rotate with each click and a record player that each disc played different nursery rhymes.

[@lindacoolbaugh962]

My cousin had the Little People Garage and I thought that was the coolest. Loved everything about it. I vaguely remember the little people being made of wood. Yes I'm old LOL

[@FailingArtist]

Omg!! Even though I was born in the 80s, I played with almost all of those!! Such good times! 😭🥰

[@meghann33]

I am a collector of Little People sets. I grew up playing with them and am collecting them as an adult. The McDonald's Little People set is my holy grail, but I won't spend over $50 on any set. I was 5 minutes too late getting an almost complete set on Facebook Marketplace for $50. I also really want the McDonald's Drive Thru. I wanted it so bad as a kid and never got it, but once again people want too much for them. My mom bought the almost complete castle set and I found the missing pieces for her so it is complete now except her carriage is missing the yellow piece. If you have the mail envelopes from the village set. They go for big bucks because they were the first thing to get lost I am assuming. My village set doesn't have any of the envelopes and there is no way I can afford to replace them.

[@EilonwyG]

I have nearly all of those Little People sets! I don't think I had the full set of all of them as I think we got many of them from garage sales. But I loved them so much I was still playing with them with my little brother well into Elementary school. The garage gas station we used with our match box cars.

[@paulhardman2515]

I loved the Adventure People line! The space series figures like X-ray man and woman, Opticon, Clawtron, and especially, Brainoid are rare in good condition and command good money especially when cared or mint in package. The whole AP line is amazing!

[@whiterabbit1632]

I have lots of AP in unopened in box!

[@LuigiGodzillaGirl]

I remember playing with an Action Garage set that was in my paternal grandma’s basement as a kid in the 90’s. My maternal grandparents had the Family Farm set, which now sits in my basement, awaiting my niece to reach a safe enough age to play.

[@makingroceries77]

How about a video on Milton Bradley games and history? 🙏☮️❤️

[@Shannonbarnesdr1]

yes ! that would be awesome !

[@btetschner]

A+ video! Supercool, great to know that Fisher-Price is still beloved!

[@HomebrewHorsepower]

When I was a kid I had a Little People Little Mart. Apparently they were made in 1986, when Fischer Price was a subsidiary of Quaker Oats.

[@mercator79]

Man my siblings, cousins, and I had almost all of thse sets. Brought back genx memories

[@hermanehrentraut4956]

I had all of the little people (characters, playsets, and accessories) except the train playset and I loved playing with them during my childhood. My favorite character was the dog.

[@Pack.Leader]

I had a deprived childhood, apparently. Born in 1962, last of five girls, none of us had trendy toys like that. Makes me want that farm one really really badly, at age 61.

[@DavidProv]

I had that cash register from the thumb nail. That was back in the mid-80s. Now I wish I still had it.

[@12thMandalorian]

A video on the most valuable McDonald’s Happy Meal Toys would be awesome!

[@nikkisowell3263]

I played with a lot of these. Loved making the barn moo.

[@RogueWolfArtist]

With the wealth of toys from 77-early 00’s you could easily do a timeline just on toys.

[@julieneff9408]

Between me and my friends and cousins, I think we had every single one of the toys featured here. I don't know what became of any of them, but they were well loved. None of us had the Geotrax, though.

[@nerd4ever1000]

Elmos hate for rocko goes deep

[@mommonald224]

My son was an FP model when he was small. He is on a product box and his pictures pop up occasionally in online banners. ❤

[@AndrewDasilvaPLT]

I had all these at some point in my childhood from late 80s - early 90s.

[@cutechristaandfishyjay8955]

OMG almost everything listed was either a fixture at my pre-school-kindergarten class as a kid. My mom also had a daycare that she ran in the 90s that had some of these toys as well. Man! if I could time travel!

[@mindyhoeh4466]

We live near East Aurora, New York. I can remember Toy Fests and the Fisher Price Toy Museum and they also have the Fisher Price Store. The Fisher Price complex at Christmas is amazing!

[@fyourfeelings3946]

Im 45 and I still have my cash register and doll house complete with the coins, cars chairs beds and little people

[@jamesmoss3424]

Fisher-Price is still great today. 😀👍

[@JENNIFAFAA]

I was born in 94 but my siblings were born in 75’ 77’ & 86 and I played with all of these toys!!

[@Shinzon23]

I can tell you had so much fun making this with all the puns and references.

[@ardinchastain4208]

My mom's house burned down about 20 years ago. Two of the only things that we recovered were the schoolhouse and the house. I still have them!

[@lurree1904]

I remember all of these 😁 had a lot of them ❤️

[@Dj.MODÆO]

In the mid 80s I spent a week In The hospital with a bad infection on the pediatric ward. They had about 3 sets of the entire fisher price collection and a ton of donated toys like transformers and games

[@brokenmummy232]

Wonderful episode I hope maybe you can find some material on 60's toys being that I was born in 63 and remember having the best toys and childhood. Thanks and God Bless. And maybe an episode on home video console history.

[@DangerDave-e7u]

That's still cheaper than a regular family!

[@bdbear10]

I had a Play Family School house. I loved it!

[@beckyotoole449]

I bought the geotrax Christmas train for $30 a couple of years ago for my kid. Still play with it

[@Mystixism]

Oh yeah... the mooing door. I definitely had that one lol

[@tremorsfan]

I don't remember if it's Fisher-Price but I still have this toy that when you run a view finder over the image it will give you a sort of x-ray of what's inside. It had two tracks and the view finder had a slanted mirror so it would show you the bottom track.

[@NewMessage]

Mom lectured me about saving for retirement all those years, while she sold hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of old comics and toys for a quarter each right in my own front yard. * shakes head *

[@Tammissa]

I had most of these toys as a kid, but I’ve no idea where they went. Darn, wish I kept some.

[@grundypeebo]

my grandma held onto some toys from when my dad grew up and i remember playing with a record player type thing that had colorful plastic "records"

[@chrisbellon3739]

When I was a kid, I had 80"s version of fisher price barn play set,

[@MagdaleneDivine]

I had bert and Ernie little people...lol I miss Ernie! His hair was hilarious 8:26

[@nazfan01]

Weid History - You should do a video on vntage cameras, especially Polaroid. I used to sell on E.b.a.y and was shocked to see how much they were selling for. Some would go for as much as $200+. Not too sure why but I was finding all I could to flip them online. The real popular white with red button Polaroid were really a big hit.

[@SWLinPHX]

Oh man, I had the Fisher-Price Action Garage and the AIrport too!

[@MikeyBats]

Us 80’s kid know all of these toys, these were the toys that would be in schools, doctor’s offices, and children’s hospitals.. These would also be in homes of neighbors or relatives left over from their kids and they would bring them out when they would have to babysit

[@BKDBrian2]

Red, green, and blue are the primary colors of light, and also the colors of the levers on that toy.

[@mamaromi4773]

You forgot the fisher price fun with food play kitchen that came out in the late 80s early 90s. Best play kitchen ever and even the smallest accessories for them can be worth 100s. The kitchens themselves are about 300 to 500 bucks via ebay.

[@StrangeHistory-tr2xs]

This was a fun video. We have a few classic toys left from our kids. One gem is the football game made out of tin. You plug it in and they shake their way to the touchdown zone😂. We can’t part with it. Too fun still!

[@ardinchastain4208]

Oh my gosh, the car garage!!! 😱❤️
