Awesome. It's rare to find someone who knows about that. There was a Time Bomb at my Grandparent's house that I played with when I was a little kid. It might of been my dad's. What a cool toy. I remember Clackers as well.
No, he and Teela had a secret fling that no one knew about. At least that's how I used to make them "play"
I used to love collecting GI Joes. My favorite toy was the Havoc. It had a separate fighter plane in the back of the truck, which was awesome. I was always amused by how the driver, Cross Country, would have to drive lying down. My favorite figure was by far the original Storm Shadow, which my dad went through hell to find me. One of the best days of my life when I got it.
I loved the Evil Knevil motor cycle. My brother and I also had all of the Johnny West action figures. They were cool. AFX race track -- back when you could take the cars apart and rebuild them Erector Set -- Tinker Toys -- Lincoln Logs
if you have the AT-AT, i'll save you the trouble of putting it on EBay and buy it from you directly. inventory your items!!!!!
Nintendo Hungry Hungry Hippo Walkman Trouble Light Bright Laser Tag Teddy Ruxpin Don't remember what it was called, but you sit on it and put your feet on the handle bars and move your arms side to side to go forwards. A sit and twist toy. (Man this sounds bad, but it really is a toy) EDIT: here is a link to it, but I still don't remember what they were called http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic.php?id=137904 And of course all my Care Bears and Cabbage patches.
My Thundercats collection. Me and my ThunderTank would go everywhere together. With Panthro at the helm of course!
how about commercial jingos for toys from when you were a kid?? i swear, these old things are still rattling through my head. i break out into the mon-chi-chi song every now and then. rarely in court, though.
Are you refering to "Shogun Warriors"? http://www.wildtoys.com/shogun/shoguns!.jpg Had one of those (birthday present) and a bunch of other stuff people have mentioned as well as: Sizzlers (a couple of different race sets as well as a bunch of extra track sections) Rod hockey (igniting my love of the New York Islanders) An Aurora/AFX slot car track And when I was about six, I got a Hutch NFL licensed Houston Oilers uni set (Helmet, shoulder pads, jersey and pants). Number 44, running back Fred Willis.
Does anyone remember Radio Shack's 50 in one? How about 75 in one, or 100 in one? It was an electronic chemistry set, so to speak. As far as diddy's, I knew them all. I was a Hot-Wheel/Atari kid, myself.
Is that the little kit where you could make a radio and crap? You linked wires and stuff on a board with transmitters and other electrical parts? Man, that's a great memory I had completely forgotten about.
my brother had one of those 100 in one kits! i remember them! as for this, i do remember those. we had those in PE class in elementary school and used to play bumper cars in them. but we didn't have handle bars, just the base so it was real easy to bust your knuckles on them while trying to run over 100 other 5th graders. i still have my CPKs and My Little Ponies. also had Charmkins, lotsa Care Bears, Rainbow Brite, Chutes and Ladders...the good ol' days.
