Not sure if anyone else has ever done this but I was really pleased with this find.

On Saturday I was taking a walk with my baby daughter to try and get her to sleep. It was a windy dull day with not a soul around and as I was walking down the high street I decided to duck into a small charity out of the wind. Browsing around the old tat as you do in these shops I saw a familiar logo in a pile of dusty old boxes. Dug the box out to find another one under it. Opened them up to find brand new sealed sprues all for the bargain price of 99p each. Picture of my find below

so if you ever catch yourself going past a charity shop take a wander inside you never know what goodies you might find.
