To make you feel better, the used stuff doesn't go for a fortune. Only the pristine unopened boxes and you'd have had a sad childhood if you had loads like that still in your loft! I passed equal amounts on to my godchildren, they love it and it's good to see kids enjoying them as I once did. That's worth a damned size more that than thinking of them as money money money. You can pick up a stormtrooper etc for a couple of quid or less. Honestly, they're really not as much as people think. They churned out millions and millions of them worldwide remember, hardly a Bible 1st edition

I was clearing out my Dad's loft and found some live letters he has written to my Mum forty years previously- just before they married.
He was most embarrassed.
Apparently 'Norwich' is not a reference to an away game he planned to attend...

Probably not as embarrassed as my Dad was when my wife moved his chair to reveal "Big Jugs" magazine.

Mothers, eh?
My mum gave away (to a Scouts' jumble sale) a complete set of first edition 1950s Matchbox Toys, packed in the original "matchboxes" that they came in. If I remember rightly, they cost 1s 6d each when new and there were about seventy items in the complete set. The going rate for just ONE of these toys, in its original box, can be hundreds of pounds these days.

… hardly a Bible 1st edition
I did once find a late fifteenth century edition of the Works of St Thomas Aquinas, printed in Bologna in the 1490s, when I was going through some archives in a library in Tuscany. The place was completely deserted and I had been lent the door key by the custodian, on the understanding that I would return the key to him, when I had finished in the building. Honesty prevailed, but I still wonder whether I could have got away with it, undetected.

I know someone who found a chest full of gold coins in his loft. He declared them to the police, no-one claimed them for 3 years so they became his. Worth a fortune and he was loaded already. Typical.
