I never had the camper, but I did have the school bus, circus train and farm. My kids have the farm, bus and Noah's Ark, and I have to say that I'm disappointed that the toys today have nylon hair! My son keeps trying to bite the hair off. The camper sure brings up a memory of my Little People days. I never had the camper, but I did have the school bus, circus train and farm.

She's saved and moved so many of our childhood toys -- she's driven my father nuts over the years. It does make me smile to think of my potential children playing with Carebears, Strawberry Shortcake, etc. I think what your parents have done here is pretty special.

My DH and his sister have been going down memory lane since my nephew was born. They have all their old toys in the attic. I had nephews near my age, so most of my toys were handed down.

My parents saved my fisher price little people toys too, but they were not in such great condition so I looked on eBay thinking I'd buy a few of my old faves. I saw one of the little cowboys with his horse that sold for $25! and an airplane went for something close to $200. Crazy! You’d be amazed at how much those old-school little people sell for on eBay!
