Mighty Beanz!
Okay, this looks like another transient collecting fad (echos of Beanie Babies), but hey, they're selling right now. Get in and get out while you can. You've been warned!
Look for ones like "ALBINO" Special Edition BEANZ (sold for 205.50 on eBay, Feb. 9, 2004) or Skull Pirate (142.50 and 158.02 - Feb. 2004).

Retailers are convinced enough that this toy will stay hot to stock their shelves with the latest series of Mighty Beanz, Series 3.

"Most people collect the childhood their parents couldn't afford,' Jackson says.

Sixties and '70s vintage funkadelic and disco pieces --- from furniture to clothes and yes, even the glitter ball --- are highly sought-after in today's market. Other hot collectibles include advertising signs, decorative cookie jars, clocks, stoneware, transfer ware, Roseville pottery, McCoy pottery, Depression glass, tea pots, quilts and art glass."
