Gift Ideas for the Holiday Season



Find Unique Toy Gifts with a Touch of Nostalgia

Well, the holiday season is right around the corner and everyone's holiday lists are packed with things to do.  So let us help with all that gift hunting you need to get done.

We know there are a lot of people out that share that feeling of nostalgia for the toys from their childhood.  Whether you are looking for some vintage Generation 1 or 2 Transformers, Masters of the Universe with He-Man and Skeletor, GoBots, G. I. Joe, My Little Ponys, or old Tonka trucks, we have plenty of the classic toy gifts they'd have on their wish list.

We have some new-in-box toys, but most of our selection are loose toys that are out of the packaging and have been played with previously.  We have cleaned them up and sometimes repaired them back to working order.  Some figures are harder to find than others when completing a collection, and your loved one won't need to worry about damaging the packaging.  This also allows them to be posed and displayed easily.  And best of all, they don't demand a collectors-only price.

Below we'll be going over some of our favorite used action figure toys we suggest as possible Christmas presents from our website.  But there are hundreds more, so we welcome you to browse our online store at: www.hallstoybox.com

Transformers

    Lets start with some of Hall's ToyBox's favorite toys: Transformers.  These are very popular toys that we sell quickly, but we still have several in stock and are always keeping our eye out for more.

Featured Transformers for Christmas Gifts

Lets start with a couple of the awesome Gen 1 fighter jet Transformers that we think would make great gifts. 
First, we have the Starscream Transformer from 1985 that comes with the hard-to-find front landing gear.  $60

Next we have Skywarp.  Another great fighter jet G1 Transformer from 1984 that also comes with the hard-to-find front landing gear.  $40


Next we have Bonecrusher.  One of the popular Constructicon series that combine together to create Devastator.  This one is from 1985.  $25

Next is an Insecticon called Shrapnel from 1984 that includes the spec sheet.  $10


Dead End
Next and last for the G1 Transformers we have Dead End.  He is a transforming car from 1986.


We have many more G1 and G2 Transformers, as well as many newer figures.  To see them all:

Masters of the Universe

Many of us have fond memories of the Masters of the Universe cartoons we used to watch the when we were kids, just like the old Transformers cartoons.  These guys are great to have sitting around at your desk or on the bookshelf, and they still hold up quite well to play.  

You can check out our full selection of Masters of the Universe toys online:

Featured Masters of the Universe Toys for Christmas Gifts

Since we'll be showing you a lot of these, the descriptions will be below the pictures.  




Faker who tries to look like He-Man.  This one is complete with all accessories. $30






Stridor from 1984 but missing his tail.  He still looks awesome! $14


Two-Bad $5
We recently came by one in the package yet and will be posting him soon.

We have lots of Masters of the Universe toys ranging from $2 to $35, so we have something to fit almost every budget.  Be sure to check them out.

G. I. Joe 

So many of us played with G. I. Joe action figures when we were kids.  They are still a lot of fun. The smaller size of the G. I. Joe action figures makes them a good fit in radio control cars, on your computer monitor ledge, and in all sorts of other cool places.


Snake Eyes $5 and Snake Eyes $6 in their appropriate Lamborghini remote control car!
(Car not included)








Jinx $5




Payload $5

Brawler $10




Torpedo $12

There is a sampling of some we have.  What we like about selling the older toys is that they are harder to find.  We may have just the toy you can't find anywhere else.


GoBots

I really like the GoBots that were created by Tonka to compete with Transformers. They tend to be simpler than the Transformers, but they are built sturdy with metal parts and they change into cool vehicles.  Generation 1 GoBots can be found for much cheaper than generation 1 Transformers when they are out of the box.  Below is a sampling of some of the GoBots we have for sale. 




Dozer $8

Loco $6


Tank $6

Tic Tac $6

All of the pictured GoBots above are from the 1980's.


Tonka Trucks and Vehicles

Tonka trucks and heavy machinery toys were a ball to play with when we were kids.  I enjoyed playing with an earth mover like my grandpa drove for his job and moving big loads of dirt or sand in a big yellow dump truck.  We are currently in the process of restoring some of the older original models of these toys and also working on a couple customization projects with them.  Below we'll show you what we have for Tonka and similar diecast and pressed metal vehicle toys.

















My Little Pony

And last, but not least, My Little Pony.  We know they are popular, so we are keeping our eye out for them.  We also snap up the fakie version since people like those as well.  I remember my sisters playing with these all the time.









Starglow $25

A lot of these My Little Pony dolls are the older style that are getting harder to find.



We have many more to offer on our website and are adding more toys every week.  We have lots of Marvel action figures, DC Comics action figures, Star Trek, Star Wars, ThunderCats, and much, much more.  Please stop by our online store and check out our selection of vintage used toys.  We will also be announcing on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram sites when we'll be at events selling our toys, so be sure to follow us.  

We'd like to thank everyone so much for their business and support and hope to continue offering awesome toys for all of you!
