HMS Terrible Toy Battleship, $122,600

The UK’s infamous Auction house, Sotheby’s, has the HMS Terrible Toy Battleship on the top of their list as most expensive toy ever sold during one of their auctions. This exact toy replica of the 1895 Royal Navy ship, used in the Boer War, had belonged to an avid toy collector who ended up passing away in 2011. So when it went to auction, two particular toy collectors went into a bidding war until one got it for a crippling $122,600.
