A study of over 2000 adults revealed that millions of vintage toys and games could be gathering dust in lofts and cupboards in homes across the UK.
From Game Boys to Hot Wheels, the survey from Busy Bees reported that on average, people have 17 unused toys stashed away in their homes. More than half of those surveyed have kept their items in “good condition”. While more than one in four think they could be sitting on a goldmine with their once-cherished toys, estimating that their collection could be worth an average of £300.
Topping the list of items people can’t seem to throw away are Barbies, LEGO and Hot Wheels. Keep scrolling to discover which other iconic toys and games made the list. Do you recognise any of these?
