What membership unlocks

  1. What it actually sold for

    Our Grails and sale records log what vintage cards, sealed wax and uncut sheets sold for, each with the seller’s written condition report, so you can see what a taped box or a reproduction part did to the price. 30 records carry a figure today. They come from one dealer’s published price guide, which makes them one seller’s sales rather than a market average. The date, the dealer and a link to the original record stay open to everyone; the figure is the member perk.

  2. Your virtual Toy Shelf

    Build a profile of every vehicle, figure and accessory you own. Tag condition, packaging and completeness, upload your own photos, and share the link. Bulk add lets you load a whole run in one go and fix the details after. Other fans can browse your shelf without signing in; only the building part is behind the gate. Browse collector profiles.

  3. A collector profile people can find

    Your shelf gets a public page at /collectors/, so a collection you have spent years assembling is something you can point at rather than describe.

  4. The newsletter

    New toy announcements, news worth reading, changes to the site and new archive material. We mail when there is real news, not on a calendar.

  5. One account, many sites

    The same free HERO80 login works across the HERO80 network of fan sites, and opens the garbagepail.kids forum, so signing up once here makes you a member everywhere.

What stays free for everyone

The core archive stays open. Every character page, episode guide, toy listing, comic catalogue entry, news article and other members’ toy shelves are browsable without signing in, and so is every sale record apart from its figure: the piece, the condition report, the dealer, the date and the link to the original record. Membership adds the sale figure and the member tools. It does not take anything away that was there before.
