Toys aren't just for children, but they can turn into collector's items for people who feel nostalgic and want to preserve a bygone era. Tiktoker @nostalgia_replay is a thrift enthusiast and has posted a video that went viral with 5 million views. She started by saying, "I'm at an Overstock store and I'm pretty sure they have deadstock here because these 2011 stinkies are the first thing that I see". Every store has Deadstock which refers to some toys or products that are really old and were never sold, so they just sit in a warehouse. Businesses end up with dead stock because they didn't manage their toy inventory well or because people stopped wanting to buy them.

Later in the video, she goes on to say how these Disney Squinkies from the 1991 Beauty and the Beast made kids go crazy. She then showed some Lil Bratz purses in two colors, one in pink and the other in blue. She jumped excitedly to the next section where she discovered the 'Blue’s Clues numbers mini posters from 2003, a Hannah Montana folder, a Lalaloopsy Baking Oven, a High School Musical travel stationery set, and Polly Pocket invitations. After seeing such a huge collection of deadstock lying, she said, “Oh, my God. These are from 2006. I’m literally shaking. This place is officially filled with magic". Sky decided to take most of her findings home. The viewers were stunned and excited at how she came to know about this store that was literally full of nostalgia inducing merch
