Old Soviet toys have a certain energy and sacred meaning for the generation that still found the USSR - they grew up, studied, fell in love and, of course, played with various dolls and cars. The quality and simplicity of execution, however, fell in love not only with Soviet kids, but also with modern people. In this regard, the question of Soviet toys is again in demand and in demand.
Old Soviet toys are not uncommon today. You can find these in almost every family - they are stored in summer cottages, mezzanines, in garages, etc. But, despite this, the demand for them is not weakening. And experts offer a number of their recommendations on where to find Soviet toys for sale.
Sometimes they are looking for Soviet toys, not paying attention to the fact that there are already a number of such specimens in the bins. The reason is simple - to find a favorite childhood toy that has not survived at home.
Where to buy old Soviet toys
If you try very hard, you can even find toys from very ancient times - the years of the 30s-40s of the 20th century. To do this, you will have to get acquainted with collectors. There are quite a few people who collect dolls, cars, pistols, etc. As a rule, they communicate on thematic forums on the Internet. To search for such a source, it is enough just to type in any Internet search service a request to search for a forum for collectors of old Soviet toys. Then all that remains is to register as a new user and start communicating with fans of the Soviet past. Buy and sell offers are usually found in special sections of such a forum.
When purchasing a toy from a collector, you can bargain a little. However, the more rare the specimen and the more difficult it is to get it, the less willing the seller will be to drop the price.
Alternatively, you can simply advertise in a specialized publication. People who want to sell their toy deposits usually look through these ads, and the chances of finding suitable toys are quite high.
Today, a huge number of sites have been created that offer rarities of Soviet childhood for sale. Here you can browse the catalogs and select the toys you need. The only thing worth considering is that what cost a penny in Soviet childhood is now very expensive. For example, a pedal car for self-driving children is sold for 20,000 rubles. And it will be more expensive and many modern radio-controlled copies. In computer stores you can find and buy Soviet electronics.
There is another option - to throw a cry for all your friends and relatives. If they have forgotten Soviet toys lying around in the attic, there is a high degree of probability that they will give them to you just like that. If you nevertheless decide to thank them financially, the price will be several times lower than the one indicated on the network.
What to consider
When you are going to redeem a rare toy, be prepared for the fact that it may turn out to be slightly stubby. After all, children used to play it, which means that the legs and lips of the dolls can be painted with felt-tip pens, the paws and tails of hares and bears are sewn on more than once, etc. But, as a rule, such toys are taken more as a memory, so they can be forgiven for any shortcomings.
In addition, it should be borne in mind that modern manufacturers, on a wave of mass interest, have partially revived the traditions of the Union and established the production of similar dolls and other toys.
Soviet toys are good for those who value quality. Indeed, in those years everything was protected by GOSTAM, incl. and toys. This means that hazardous materials were not used for their production, as is the case with modern Chinese prototypes.
