A stload of obscure Star Wars figures with weapons, and cape so on e.g. Yoda, Medical Droid, Rancor, original vader, kenobi etc.

Commando comics from issue 1

A blue glass vase I spotted on one of the antiques shows going for tens of thousands.

One of my relations also had some Troika, they emigrated to Oz, no idea if they've still got it or even know what it is.

Binned by my profligate mother.

An Arabian dagger bought in Jordan. At least decades old, however for we knew it could've been much older. It even had a speck of red on it which I thought could've been ancient blood! Probably not, but I'll never know.

I always wanted to get it tested somewhere to be sure.
I'm pretty sure that ancient blood would be black.

When I was about 10 I got the Lego Technic supercar #8880. Foolishly sold at a boot sale years ago for about £20.



It was an impressive bit of kit - 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel steering, gearbox, V8 engine, pop up lights and independent double wishbone suspension. Would easily be worth over £100 now but I wish I'd have kept it - one of my fondest childhood possessions.
