Anyone remember those plastic charms from the 80's?

I saw series 2 is out today. I saw a lunchbox and thermos charm.

They had a bunch at Michaels- but even at $2 a piece, it just felt too expenive for cheap plastic charms.  Guess I know now why my mother never bought me any!  (I had the fakie ones)

Galactica, I think they used to be in the quarter machines when I was little?

Yeah, I saw new ones in an email Michael's sent me.  My nearest one doesn't have them yet though.  I'm looking for 2 of the rainbows if anyone finds them.  =)

I saw a whole bunch of series 2 Flash Charms today. The cheeseburger one is so cute.

Awesome collection, Ponyfan!

I just recently got into collecting the '80s ones again and recently discovered I have a She-Ra chain!! 
Back at the end of the She-Ra toy production in the late '80s, Imperial bought all the inventory to make chains out of the melted She-Ra stuff Sad for Mattel [and all She-Ra fans] but worked out good for Imperial since it was sold so cheaply! Anyways... nowadays, She-Ra chains, which are a light pinkish hue with white swirled around, go for about $30 - $50 each - sometimes higher!

I'll have to take a photo of my charms and chain and share with y'all. I've also acquired several '80s/90s 'knock off' chains and charms. They are super fun and they all remind me of my childhood.

Ponyfan, that would be awesome if you could pick 2 up for me.  I'll check my store this weekend too, just in case.  If I wind up with four, no problem!  I'm sure I can find things to clip them onto lol.  Thanks so much!  Nice collection, btw!

[Ponyfan]

Thanks Sweet_Stuff and tiggerkitn25.     That's really interesting about the She-Ra chain.  I got some more Series 2 Flash charms today. Tiggerkitn25 I sent you a PM. 

Here's my second chain.

Has anyone seen one of the Flash Charms guides in their Michael's store? According to this YouTube video it says some of the charms have already been retired.

I did not see one of those guides at my store.
