How 1980s toys make modern day billions

When Jurassic World debuted this month, it didn’t just shatter box office records. It introduced or reintroduced viewers to the Jurassic Park franchise, last seen in theaters 14 years ago. That means a whole new reason for toysellers to market velociraptor claws and Indominus Rexes. Those dinosaurs aren't the only ones making a comeback. Nowadays, a trip to the toy store is more like a trip down memory lane for adults. My Little Pony, Transformers and more, each reimagined for a new generation of kids.
