Vintage toys are more than just playthings from the past; they are cherished memories, collectible treasures, and a glimpse into the culture of bygone eras. For many, the joy of discovering a rare action figure or an old video game console brings back the nostalgia of childhood. At Vintage Cargo in Roanoke, we understand this passion for the past, and we are always on the lookout for vintage toys and collectibles, especially from the iconic 1980s and 1990s.
What We Buy – A Partial List:
At Vintage Cargo, we specialize in purchasing a wide variety of vintage toys, including:
- 1980s Action Figures: This decade was a golden age for action figures, and we are keen on buying classic lines like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT), He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (MOTU), G.I. Joe, and Super Hero Toys like Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man. These figures, especially in good condition or with original packaging, are highly sought after by collectors.
- 1990s Toys: The 90s brought a new wave of popular toys, including Power Rangers, Transformers, Beetlejuice, Pokemon cards, and Beanie Babies. We also look for Pogs, Tamagotchi, and Furby – all of which hold a special place in the hearts of those who grew up during this time.
- Video Game Items: The vintage gaming market is thriving, and we are interested in purchasing consoles and games from systems like Nintendo (NES, SNES, Game Boy), Sega (Genesis, Game Gear), PlayStation (PS1), and more. Whether it’s a complete console set or a rare game cartridge, these items are always in demand.
- Trading Cards and Collectibles: From Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards to Magic: The Gathering, we buy trading card collections that have been well-maintained. Additionally, collectibles such as vintage Hot Wheels, LEGO sets, and Star Wars memorabilia are always welcome.
