+TheWillaceGaming Hot Wheels are not a fad. There are some highly valuable rare ones out there, particularly from the early days. The only real fad thing about them is that they'll do a Hot Wheel of just about anything. Other than that, they can easily be highly collectible toys.

A combination of poker and chess. I SMELL BULL SHIT

[@JoseLuis-uo8zp]

but the game is pretty good and fun! and expensive! MTG , the best TCG

[@BiSkJukebox]

+BAJ No bs, there's a lot of math into it, sometimes attacking with the wrong creature means you lose the game, there's defensive strategies, and more careless, offensive strategies, etc. But still, sometimes if you don't draw the right card in the right time/order you'll lose. The same goes for the opposing side. So yeah, in a lotta ways Magic is "a combination of poker and chess" and let me add "and more!" ;)

[@haroldplaysminecraft6628]

BiSkJukebox Not like chess though..

[@BiSkJukebox]

Why not? Could you develop??? Did you even play MTG for a single time?

+Sebastian .Micheails The most expensive dark magician is like $70 (unless you have one of the ~100 Chinese dark magicians released released in Shonen Jump). The most expensive god card is only ~$15. WTF are you even talking about. The only cards that are worth large sums of money are tournament prize cards. Those can get into the thousands though. Minerva, the exalted lightsworn has a value between $2000 and $3000. The most expensive cards of all time have gotten into the tens of thousands, but all of those cards have recieved reprints which usually deminish the value. But god cards being worth thousands......no.

[@LordDavid04]

+yung amy Collecting Lego is an obsession. Not to mention Mint In Sealed Box (MISB) sets (the good ones) easily go for a premium. Recent Star Wars for example, discontinued can easily go for 2 or 3 times their recommended retail price.

[@traj07]

+LordDavid04 Why would you buy Lego sets just to leave them in the box? That's sacrilege!

[@kolaxanthe]

***** Thank you!!! I have never kept anything in its original box. Firstly, I don't see the point in buying something and not being able to enjoy it for what it really is. But also, because it really annoys me to think that loads of kids (and adults) have missed out on playing with a really good Lego set after it became discontinued - all because a good portion of the stock was snatched up by others wanting to make their own profit on ebay, charging many times the original RRP.

[@LordDavid04]

***** Acquiring doubles, of surefire sets or that rare set from back in the 80's (I have set 6990 Monorail Transport System as an example). It's perfectly fine keeping good Lego sets mint in the box, given that for many other toys they're also kept in similar fashion by many fans. If you can keep that rare Star Wars figure in a box, then you should be able to do so for a rare Lego set. I play with Lego, but only when it comes to making MOC's nowadays, which I buy the necessary parts online, and/or use current line sets. As for charging well above RRP for a discontinued set, shop around and find a cheaper one. Don't go for something obviously expensive when you are bound to find it cheaper eventually.

[@blueeyesaf]

Beyblades, Yugioh, and just near the end of my being interested in that kind of thing B-daman were what dominated my childhood. I remember mixing and matching parts of both B-daman and Beyblades to make the coolest one I could, I still have my favorite B-daman from when I was a kid sitting by my bed as a reminder of that time. I got in many a fight with friends about suspected theft, both as the perpetrator and the victim. But what I really have fond memories of is Yugioh (again, I still have some cards beside my bed, I haven't touched them since I put them there mind you), and the biggest fights, a friend of mine was convinced I stole his blue eyes white dragon (I didn't, it was a mutual friend, I did take his Man-Spider toy though, I still feel bad about that, I don't think I even used it after I took it) which led to one of the most drawn out feuds of my childhood. But it was also responsible for the most fun of the three, I still remember dueling my older sister, she's eleven years older than me and hard to get along with, those are the best memories I have of her from that time.

[@UrzaDesti]

[@PetesPopculture]

As a retail worker when they first came out I can say without a doubt that SKYLANDERS should be on this list. The amount of parents tearing displays apart looking for "Special rare limited edition" figures was ridiculous. Every time a new one came out they HAD to buy it.

Interesting to note that none of the items on the list came into existence after the year 2000 (except Silly Bandz which only received an honorable mention). It makes you wonder if technology hasn't deprived us of the joy of collecting.

[@aclstudios]

We spend more money on technology, so we spend less (or nothing) on physical collectibles.

[@scottstark5528]

I see several comments regarding Yugio and comic books but they really do not fit the definition of "fad". WatchMojo didn't do themselves any favors by including Sports cards and Magic cards to the list. Both of these are still produced and collected today and Sports cards were popular well before my father was born.

[@tomaud]

Collecting is very rewarding. When I used to travel a lot I always kept the change (banknotes) and placed them in albums, but now that I can't travel I started purchasing worldwide banknotes from a dealer and that way I can get better quality, scarcer banknotes. It's fun.

[@schrodinger2223]

"Magic, a combination of poker and chess"............HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHHHH HAHAHAHAHAH. ahhh god, I always love it when people try and compare tcg's to chess. Seriously though anyone who knows anything about chess and magic should be able to see that chess takes FAR FAR FAR more skill and effort. Chess is one of the oldest games on the planet, an ageless test of skill, talent, and experience. Whereas magic is a fun card game designed to make money. To even compare the games is an insult to chess.

[@Kahez]

+Schrodinger222 lol chess is easier and a really simple game in comparision oh and boring af :|

[@schrodinger2223]

+Kahez ummm what, if you knew anything about chess you would know chess is one of the hardest games to master. magic is nothing compared to chess. nothing.

[@schrodinger2223]

+Kahez also the idea chess is "simple" is astoundingly ill informed. human masters cannot compete against the most powerful chess engines in the world for a reason you know, the game is incredibly complex.

Schrodinger222 well, it's impossible to program an unbeatable MTG AI, I think that makes MTG more complex ;)

[@schrodinger2223]

+Kahez thats really not an indicator of complexity. it just means magic has too many luck based variables for a computer, which is founded in logic. mtg is far closer to poker than it is to chess.

[@erikbedard713]

Baseball cards do not qualify as a "fad" since folks have been collecting them for 151 years now (1869-2020).

[@decepticonmaster7702]

Unfair!!!!! No Yugioh. I am a yugioh player and seeing that it is not in the list, makes me enranged!

[@RyanJohnson]

MTG being labelled a fad when it's been gaining in popularity for 20+ years shows how sloppy WatchMojo constructs their lists...

[@Alcoholic_Nerd]

How is Magic a fad when it's still being sold, played and collected to this day, TWENTY FIVE years later... The people who voted on this poll need to buy a dictionary.....

[@MRmajik00]

Never heard of beanie babies. Where's yugioh? Wacky packages?

[@xxunilizzyxxxxunilizzyxx5427]

how da fuck is the dragon ball z ccg is not on the list!???!?!?!?!?!?!

[@ruprajsengar8706]

For a man watch is the only collection we had....🗿🗿

[@999shawn]

i still have my 1st edition charizard. its worth over 1000 bucks

[@knowbrainer233]

I agree with most of this list. Everything except the Magic: The Gathering entry. Even after watching the video, I'm still not sure how you classified things as 'fads.' Magic is still going strong to this day, and seems to become a more serious market with each year, with three sets released each year and countless tournaments (several with big cash rewards for the winners) all over the place. Given that it launched in 1993 and is still around, that's a pretty long fad. (Please note: I care for the game myself, but being involved with gaming for about 15 years now I'm quite acquainted with it.)

[@fredweasley6182]

Magic shouldn't be on the list since it's not a fad, as you mentioned in the beginning it's only things that were collectible for a short period of time. There are more Magic players today than ever before so it's still going on. I'm glad to see it on the list but I wasn't expecting it to be since it's not a fad.

[@covercalls88]

I was not too much into collecting fad as a kid. As an adult I collected a few items in my various hobbies. One was Disney's , in a small way. Second was radio control wood kits, my collection is worth about $12,000. My number one is my pinball machine bank of 14 machines. Mostly purchased between 1992 to 2004 for about a $7,000 investment they are worth about $70,000.

How is Yu-Gi-Oh not on this list, not even an honorable mention x.x

[@kewlbns69]

considering mtg is still being played on an internationally competitive level, i'd hardly call it a "fad"

[@thischannelisabigmood3357]

[@orlans99]
