Most of our garages and lofts are full to the brim with toys and gadgets, but did you know that some of those could be worth thousands?

As we say a sad goodbye to Toys R Us, Good Vibes, a short loan companies blog, has put together a list of what your toys could be worth now.

Good Vibes has looked through four decades of toys and calculated their current worth starting in 1970 and ending in the early noughties.

Here are a few examples to inspire you to clear out the loft.

Original Star Wars figures can be worth ten times their value, fetching around £79.99

Hungry Hippos can be bought for around £70 having been originally worth £3.94 in 1978

Stretch Armstrong has seen the most significant increase, from £8.37 in 1976 to £1,619

An original 1980 Rubik’s Cube is now worth 50 times its original price, at £50
