ranamae Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I bought a ton of filled capsule toys from someone in my town. Among many others I found these gems..lol. Notice the copyright and expiration dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanihotdog Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 More than likely contain lead paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musser Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Lead paint? probably! But if they were from the Sixties there would be Cigarette Lighters and Pen Knives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerformaVending Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Wow- did you pick those up from another vendor, or from a time machine? Those are fantastic! Thanks for posting! While we're sharing old toys... here's an old display of mine from 1998 that I got in a machine I bought from an old operators storage. Tamogatchi toys and Tiny Toons! Doesn't date it at all I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranamae Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Haha nice! There are also a few tiny Transformers. I bought them from a thrift store near me that posted an ad online. It's mostly plastic frogs, football helments, and suction cup balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 There used to be a member here who collected old capsule toys. He had quite a substantial collection but I don't remember who it was. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he had a stash of them at one point, but my search is coming up empty. Must be using the wrong search terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have his number if you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone keeps in touch and he still collects I'd be happy to throw some his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReillyNoFun Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Great score!! I've had my eye open for stuff like this since I started vending, but have had no such luck finding any deadstock like this! Lead paint aside, people always love a good blast of nostalgia. I've been running ebay'd Garbage Pail Kids cards from the 80's in a couple of my flat machines for the past year or more and those columns always empty out fastest.

Yeah I saw the ad on Craigslist by chance. No answer. Then I saw them post it on ebay and messaged them through there. Got around 2,500 of mostly 2". Nice! I plan on putting vintage Marvel, DC, and Star Wars cards in my flat machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very knowledgeable guy, wish he was still in the biz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
