Lite Brite

Lite Brites came at the original price of $10, and kids certainly remember that it was quite magical and calming to create brightly lit and colored designs with it. There’s no question that Lite Brites were extremely memorable, and Time Magazine even named it as one of the top 100 toys in history — including it as a top 100 toy of all time was a no-brainer considering it sustained its popularity since its release in 1967.

If you’ve been hanging onto your Lite Brite, then you’re quite lucky. If your Lite Brite is still in its original box, then you’re looking at a $130 to $150 return on investment. It’s worth noting that newer versions of this toy aren’t worth as much as the vintage ones.
