GTA company pairs retro collectibles with live events featuring 90s music videos and retrofitted midway games.
-- Somebody at the90s.ca figured out that people who grew up with slap bracelets and Skip-Its never really got over it. The Canadian company sells 90s mystery boxes stuffed with items from the decade - what's inside stays secret until the package arrives - and ships free anywhere in Canada or the United States.
Here's how it works. Pick a box at The 90s CA, pay for it, wait for delivery. Open it up and find out what showed up. Could be toys. Could be candy that hasn't been manufactured in twenty years - but it will not be old, expired candy, the team points out. Could be merchandise from cartoons or movies that defined Saturday mornings for an entire generation. The company says every box contains more value than the price tag, including retro video games, consoles, handheld systems and gaming accessories, Magic: The Gathering cards, sports cards, comic books, POGs and slammers, TMNT figures and collectibles, action figures, boxed toys, and other rare retro toys.
Unboxing videos have become part of the appeal. Buyers post their hauls online, comparing finds and hunting for anything rare. The randomness creates its own entertainment - half the fun is not knowing whether the box holds a Tamagotchi or a Lisa Frank folder or something nobody's thought about since 1997.
Mystery boxes ship year-round. But www.the90s.ca also throws live events in the Greater Toronto Area that take the nostalgia thing further than cardboard and postage can manage.
The video dance parties fill venues with music videos from the era - actual videos, projected on screens, the way MTV used to do it before they stopped playing music. Attendees dance to songs they probably haven't heard since someone's older sibling drove them to school in a Honda Civic with a broken tape deck.
Surrounding the dance floor: a full indoor carnival midway. Ring toss, basketball games, strength testers, all the classic setups. But everything's been rebuilt with 90s graphics and prizes. Win a game, walk away with something that belongs in a time capsule.
The crowds mix people who lived through the decade with younger ones who discovered it through TikTok or parents who won't shut up about how much better music used to be. Both groups seem equally willing to spend a Saturday night reliving - or experiencing for the first time - what all the fuss was about.
