And so it begins - the tray in the centre illustrates the sort of chaos I was dealing with.

Some boxes contained more boxes which contained many random things...

JR's toy sort-out. Part 1
At last I have managed to do some sorting out of all the toys. As I had initially shoved the stuff straight from car to garage, I decided to put up my 'spare' wargames table (it was rescued many years ago from a skip outside the wargames club...) on the drive and go through the stuff in the open air. There are many 25mm toys - mostly unpainted Ancients and 'Renaissance' types, together with some 15s and oddities such as small quantities of 6mm WW2, old Minifigs 5mm blocks, a few 25mm Napoleonics, 20mm ACW metals, 30mm AWI and an impressive number of 1/1200 Ancient ships.
This session at least left toys in some small degree of order. But not much. More photos coming soon.

I know the feeling...I am constantly weighing up the space constraints that hoarding ever more stuff...
Could be a treasure trove, if you know what's what. But it's always good to have a rummage in the hope of finding something good, must be the hunter-gatherer instinct.
It reminds me of my 'storage' system

One of the nice things about acquiring part of someone else's hoard is that you don't have to feel so guilty about it!

There is indeed treasure in them tharr boxes. Well, of a sort. But isn't rummaging in dusty boxes an essential part of our hobby?

I now have everything in closed boxes, which if nothing else will preserve the 30-year coating of dust worn by some of the figures...
I´d love to have an trove like that to rummage through...great stuff!!!

There's some good stuff in the boxes - more on the way!
Its like Christmas in August up there!
Boxes in boxes, this is universal I believe.

And in some cases boxes in boxes in boxes! I don't think I'd be sorting them outside if it was December though!
I wish this temporary muddle didn't look quite so much like my own cupboard and wargame room!. Its been fun peeking though! Oh look, Minifig ECW highlanders! I've got some of those, and what's that one.....

Stand by for more Minifigs Highlanders. Many, many more....
