tell me these are worth millions. My parents were cleaning out their attic and told me to take them or they would be disposed of. I want to put them on Ebay if its worth my time. otherwise I’lll guve then to the Opposaurus offspring for probable destruction.

I have some from a similar time period and before. My son got them. Some have survived, others did not fare so well. It's been fun collecting new ones with him too.

I have some of those cars in pieces, whatever the heck they were called. I don’t think we can retire. Maybe we could cash them in for a part on our wagons .... Well, not German parts I don’t think.

Connectables, They’re Hot Stuff

Maybe better as an heirloom of sorts rather than a retirement fund.

I had a green 32 Ford just like that when I was growing up. Mine was also missing the hood (and a fair amount of paint). I completely forgot that it was a Majorette; thanks for reminding me!

Just list them on eBay for like a buck a piece and see if they sell. Some people buy this stuff because they remember it from childhood. They are really worth a fortune, but you might get like $20 out of them and can go get a nice dinner or something.

My brother and I are twins, so we each have one of those red ‘57 Chevy Majorette Rods stored carefully in a box somewhere, and also two each of the orange pickup and black wagon rods. :)

EDIT - There should be an engine hood that lifts on and off of that orange pickup and the black hot rod...are yours lost? :)

Check ebay prices before you list them, here’s the link for completed/sold listing of Connectables.

What would you want for the whole lot?

probably an unrealistic amount. If I cant get much for it, i’d rather let me kids have them. It looks like they go for $5 a piece which would be about $78 all together. That is probably a fair price. I thought maybe I could get a few hundred for them which is laughable. Stupid childhood nostalgia, but hey, pretty much everything has a price.
