I have a vivid memory from like the 2nd grade of this girl who had maybe 15 beanie babies on a belt around her torso. She set it down for a second a group of kids rushed her to take the belt. In seconds they were all gone and all her beanie babies went in different directions. moments later first fights broke out.

My Beanies sat in a plastic storage bin for 20 years, until my children discovered it and started claiming them for their own.
It was a little tough to let go of some of my 4th Gen and Canada/UK/German exclusives but ultimately, they get SO much more love than being set on a pedestal, untouched.

1: 09 I applied for graduate school in Edmonton at the University of Alberta (Gretsky played for the Edmonton Oilers.
I also had the same football number (#99) as his hockey number (#99) while he was playing.
His hockey number was later the retired for the entire league!

2: 22 In the 90s, we did sewing projects in our family, many of which were for 4-H.
I made a Godzilla stuffed animal using a T-Rex sewing pattern and we made his plates from a felt material!
My younger brother made an awesome stuffed Pteranadon from another pattern!

0: 01 Toys R Us was the #1 store that Gen X'ers (that I have met on the internet) wanted back.
My #1 and #2 stores that I wanted back (Macy's and Toys R Us) are working together!
After the store reopened, they are at Macy's stores, airports, and cruises.

Never understood how the toyshop in my town stayed open for 50 years, and still around today. I'm pretty sure they made a killing during the beanie baby craze & have been living off that since

Pokemon cards are a thing when Pokemon first came out and it's still kinda does today. It's not just the video games and the anime which made Pokemon popular but also the cards, too.

I think the Ty - McDonalds collab really started the Beanie Baby craze. Princess Di Beanie Bears still go for big $$. I'm waiting for the Funco Pops to lose value in a decade or less.

WE weren't all obsessed with Beanie Babies, or Furbies, or a rock in a fancy box. However, the old saying that a sucker is easily parted from his money was on full display back then.

I worked in a store that sold these during the hype. I spent more time unpacking them and calling customers that their BB was in than I did anything else. I hated those damn things!

My mom made me some 'Beastie Babys' (The beastie boys in beanie baby form) when I was about 20. Gave them to a girl, because of course I did, and I've regretted it ever since.

I refused to keep the tags on any Beanie Baby, just because of the craziness of the collectors. Snipping them off gave me great pleasure, LOL! I'm liking this new narrator!

Back in the day, I once saw a car with like 50 of these things in the back window area. Old bored ladies were the only ones I ever knew who got into this.
