For a while, the goth-punk high school girls carried lunch boxes instead of purses. Then the retro lovers started keeping their smoking goods in them. And Star Wars/Trek geeks became obsessed with collectors edition tin boxes. Now, its just plain neat-o to have a collection of vintage pals for decoration, for lunch or for some lucky owners - for sale.

1. 1980 Pac Man is classic, and especially since Pac Woman still has a home at local arcades, he deserves a comfy resting spot. Current going rate is about $10.

2. Ok, I just like the name. But he was cool with the now 30 year old crowd at one point. 1973 Rough Rider available for $15.

3. It hasn’t been the same since Jessica Simpson tarnished Daisy Duke’s good name, but try to refill your memory with the good old days by adding this box to your collection. 1980 Dukes Of Hazard, $20

4. Remember when the term cupcake did not refer to your female parts? 1980 Strawberry Shortcake for you to delight in, $20.

5. Is that Rodger Clemens? Fork over $35 and he’s yours. I am sure that the Courts would be happy to have him off their hands. (1978)

6. Boys across America are having a wet dream right now. 1967 GI Joe, $60 and a cure for soaked sheets.

7. POW! BAM! GIVE ME YOUR MONEY! 1966 Batman, $7o.

8. Not as masculine, but worth a good wad of cash. If you have a 1963 Jetsons lunch pal, put it on ebay! Current bid is $250.

9. The force is strong! No, wait, beam me up? Who cares - this tin can is worth $350 if it was made in 1968.

10. Apparently, this was before the color red was made and Superman had to sport pink booties. 1954 Superman, $400!

And Captain America isn’t worth anything, we just think he looks hot in metallic blue!
