Those figures are awesome, but nobody is going to be putting their kids through college selling their old Cheap Toys lol Unless you know of higher education situations that only cost a few grand instead of 10's of thousands.

Well, Harvard will cost you over 200,000 for 4 years, so somebody better be sitting on the mother load of sealed series 2 boxes and Garbage Gang boxes to even begin to put a dent in that. The prices of these toys have pretty much topped out in my opinion.

Uhh 200,000 for 4 years? Your dreaming. College is even crazier now, try 75-85 per year!

State schools in NC are like 25-30k for 4 years total and that includes room and board. But harvard is worth whatever they are charging. My first job as a consultant all the harvard grads made like 30k more a year simply for the fact that they had harvard on the resume. most were really good workers but it was not guaranteed. they also had majored in really weird stuff. i talked about partying like 5 nights a week and they talked about study groups on friday nights.

Blue Dot is the most common of all Series 2 Cheap Toys, but a nice figure none the less. It appears to be in good condition. ( mine is a bit chewed up ) This toy should not cost more than 225.00 in my opinion, but you never know with ebay. |

That's TCT (Diego's) Blue Dot. Seen it in person. Gorgeous figure. You won't go wrong with her.

Personally love the blue colored cheap toys the most. The detail shows up best as russvan explained in his history of cheap toys thread. That blue dot is awesome. Good luck to whoever wins it!

I've owned Blue Dot two other times though, so I'm not going to go crazy. Btw, one Blue Dot came from you Paul, if you remember (the one with rat damage!  ). (Later I sold it to Meatcutta for like, 50 bucks, lol) Of all the Dots, I liked Blue the best, though its the most 'common', and sunshine a close second. Great toy, sad to see Diego let it go! And his is in GREAT shape! |

( mine is a bit chewed up ) This toy should not cost more than 225.00 in my opinion, but you never know with ebay. Out of the seven Dots I've owned, 3 had damage-they are prone to damage. I had a Green Dot I got from Leeroy and it had the edge of the dress chewed off. I got the rat-damaged Blue Dot from The Watcher, which I always liked because you could see the rat teeth marks! I got a Blue Dot replacement and sold it. I also owned Marmac's childhood Sunshine Dot that had his initials scratched in her dress "M.M", I later traded it to Nico. Good times! |

I recently found my collection of OS GPK's (4-15) a few months ago at my mother's house. I know I had a handful of series 1 GPK cards, as well as my Cheap Toys too - but I couldn't locate them. It's one of those things, I never remember throwing them out - but at the same time, I obviously walked away from them and my GPK's when I was ~20.
I am floored by how collectable, and actually how rare this #2 series is. I grew up in Calgary, AB - Canada and must have purchased boxes of these things! There was a corner store I would visit, and pester my mother to stop at all the time - because I knew they carried them. I know I didn't have a complete collection - I vaguely recall really wanting Ali Gator really badly, which my friend pulled and didn't even collect them. I recall having lots of doubles of Alice Island. I had some of doubles of others - but I do not recall any blue characters.
Now that I have ordered a complete set of painted MiniKins off of Ebay - I am motivated to find these! Hopefully they are collecting 20+yrs of dust @ my mother's place somewhere.

After taking a look through the house, I came up with nothing! Well - I got a dual screen Donkey Kong handheld game & a Ninja Gaiden NES cartridge. Not what I was looking for though.
While I doubt my mother would have sold them (she's not one to throw out anything - but has had garage sales) it is possible! Once she's back from vacation, I'll have to inquire!
Sorry to give anyone's hopes up. I really want my OS1 cards too. ... to be continued ...
