Ahh, the memories! The toys, the games, the books, old schoolwork. Boxes and boxes of the stuff.

Some of the more interesting finds:
- Loads of Tazos and pogs, though annoyingly some of them are missing. I had a full set of the orignal Looney Tunes Tazos that came in the Walkers crisps but #6 has vanished. I now have just 49 out of 50 :-(

- Loads of Pokemon cards. Again, I was under the impression that there were more but there are still a good amout to shove on ebay.

- A cuddly toy Zippy and George from Rainbow. Not only that but they speak when you squeeze their stomachs. Zippy, "You know, I'm really very, very clever", and George, "Oh Zippy, you are naughty!" Brilliant, both of them.

- Toys from the Fru-fru yogurts. Remember them? They were pink fromage frais type things with a small toy in the middle, usually themed around space.

- My Power Rangers action figures, based on the originals! Need any more be said?

- A stupidly large amount of McDonalds toys. These included Daffy Duck in a Batman costume, and genie that pops out of a lamp. Wow.

- My old school photos. These were brilliant, looking at all my old classmates from years and years ago and then of course myself, and my hair was scary back then.

The rest of it was odd junk that would have no meaning to you lot. There should have been a large collection of Sonic comics but alas, they appear to have vanished.

I've had a look. The only things that would be worth putting on are the Pokemon cards, I reckon I could make over £50 with them.

Yes, the old, old ones would be, but considering I was born in 1989 I don't actually own any pre-1990.

Apparently the older ones are worth a lot now.

We had a few hundred and were selling them at a boot fair for 10p each and some people came and bought the whole lot and started selling them for like starting at £3 going up to over £10 each! and people were actually buying them!

We were pretty annoyed that we didnt know they were worth so much cos they must have made loooooads!

I had the whole collection of Tazo's. My brother and sister and I all had to take it in turn to have the Tazo's from the mulitpack each week.

The people who owned the sweet shop used to give me theirs too when I went it there.

I found some of those as well, not a full set mind. I had Bart, Grandpa, Barney, and Krusty.

I have a full-set of Simpson models from BK.

A friend at uni worked for them so I traded him a CD single for all of 'em.

They might be worth a little bit.
