Synopsis
Whether it's a rare three-wheeled motorcycle that sold for $23,000 or an unopened LEGO set of the Millennium Falcon that can go for as much as $4,500, toy-box treasures are out there waiting to be found. From Cracker Jack to the Xbox, toys speak volumes about our culture, our past times, and our collections.
