Yes, I used to collect them and still have them displayed in my room. I think I have 276 in total. When I was younger I collected anything soft and cuddly, so have approximately 1000 soft toys in my room, although a lot less are on display now than they were 5 years ago! I had a go at valuing the lot once, and came up with an estimate of about £3200! A few of my bears are worth £100s each, so if I ever decide to rid myself of childhood memories, then I'll be one rich lady!

I expect, though, they'll end up as family heirlooms. I can just imagine a few hundred years in the future some bored little kid sat playing Playstation 15 and half-listening to his mother saying 'Now this belonged to your great great great great great great granny Zara back in the primitive days of the 1990s and 2000s.....'
