Holy shit... I just came across this pic. Memories FLOODING back of playing with these at my great grandmother's house.

Loved the Evel Knievel Bike

I call bs on the ring being able to be stacked. It was impossible to do it.

what a fail ****ing poll, no Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? really?

This. Loved Stompers.

No TMNT = FAIL

Holy hell, I just realized how spoiled I was growing up.. I had almost every one of those toys (minus the barbies) and almost every Star Wars, GI Joe and Transformer toy.

Hell I even had these guys!

TRON LIGHTCYLE! This thing hauled ASS!

OH! Does anyone remember the METAL army play set that (I think) was blue and silver... all I remember was they were some special forces type thing and they may have had an eagle or hawk in the name... it was like GI Joe's but all metal, heavy as shit. (and slightly smaller than GI Joe)

OCCUPY AUSTINCHIEFS'S DRIVEWAY!

Denise

Side note: if you rummage through my parents garage you can still find boxes with almost every MicroMachine made, most of the GI Joe vehicles and some sweet Iron Man, Avengers and SpiderMan comics!

HAHA, well I WAS spoiled with toys... BUT also there were a lot of shared toys because I had a cousin my age and one slightly older and we all spent a great deal of our childhood hanging out at my grandparents...

FOUND THEM! Apparently they were gold..(no idea were I got the idea of blue.. maybe cuz all the guns were)

EAGLE FORCE!

I have been looking all over for one of those to get for my son, hope they still make them and I find one.

If you open it up and drink the original liquid it comes with, you can get high.

Nice find. I forgot about those.
I had the car that would blow apart when it hit a wall

We used to glue a second set of tires on the Stomper tires, so they were double wide.

we don't need no stinkin toys...
 

I guess the vibrating electric football game was the 70's? Where is Mr. Spoon, or was that just an evil joke created by my mother?

Samantha Fox?

Those were around in the 1940's... (Bob Dole has his father's hanging on his wall.)

We had REAL toys when I was a kid.

Take for example, LAWN DARTS!

http://www.dabbleback.com/article_im...=article&id=21

The object was to set up the plastic circle in the yard and then toss the dart into the air and make in land in the circle.

Yeah, ... that's not what we did with them.

It became more of a game of chicken. Throw it up in the air and then try and get out of the way at the last moment. If you were too slow, well, those sharp metal points could be a little dangerous.

It was also fun to throw them at each other, or at drunken relatives.

Turn table, rifle, bike, dog, woods.

I had this bad boy as a kid. Knock off of a Winchester

Bugeaters older brother shot him in the back with this & dam near killed him. Bugs cant make it through airport security cause he still has the BB in his lung

Half man. Half BB

I watched He-Man last night.. I loved the cartoons but I sure didn't like the movie.

YES!! :thumb: I would spend hours playing w/ that thing!

this

Anyone remember Merlin?

http://ts4.mm.bing.net/images/thumbn...98986532901fb5

Oh ya

I think of that every time I am behind a newer Chevy Impala...

Garbage Pail Kids trading cards ftw!

http://ts3.mm.bing.net/images/thumbn...207cd5dbb94613

My brother and I collected all of them, (and even had quite a few duplicates). The gum was always stiff as a board and went straight to the trash. Good times!

I loved those. I loved the fact that you could combine them and turn it around and have a giant GPK.

heh, now I will also. Thanks?

Flashback! My parents couldn't afford daycare, so I went to work w/ them, (they owned a small business in Wichita). I remember stealing change out of my dad's desk drawer so I could walk up to the corner store and buy Garbage Pail Kids cards. I would leave the store w/ a few packages and rip into them and start combining them to complete the pic on the back.

So many memories!

Did you ever watch the GPK movie?

I did. Once. Never again. LMAO

It was pretty bad.. and really creepy.

A couple years later my uncle gave me an Erector Set for Christmas. That was the only thing I played with for about three years, then I got an Atari 2600.

No LOL. My only tech toy. Ever until on my own.

Oh **** yeah. I spent HOURS with my yellow briefcase full of wonder.

http://i.imgur.com/Kioxk.jpg

bought this for my 9 year old daughter last year. She got into the old episodes on netflix.

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors

No Robotec, Voltron or Thundercats? And you call yourself a kid of the 80s smh lol....Robotec was my favorite

Sabra, Shanna, Sheri, Lisa, Angie, Sharon, Candi...

I should have added a write in on the poll. However I didn't know anyone who liked any of those three.

I had a shit ton of Star Wars toys when I was little.

http://uncrate.com/p/2008/03/kim-simmons-star-wars.jpg

Very nice.

I still look back in pride at my mom, for letting me get the Crossman with that bitchin scope at the tender age of 8, she didnt even blink.

I was the Terror of Montanas Little Rock Mountains, i hear tell crows still whisper my name & threaten their kids with me when they act up.

Daisy Saddle Rifle? Sweet. That was my first BB gun too.

My 1st BB Gun...

I still have it and it works perfectly. I'm giving it to my boy in 4 years.

http://littlejimssports.com/product_...y_model_10.jpg

What a perfect thing to pass on, he'll never forget it.

The best thing is, is that to a kid, they might as well be the real deal, ya start feeling like a real man strutting around with it.

We used to put little action figures in and on a little Fisher Price houseboat we had, put it out in the back yard, and then sit on the deck and assassinate the little action figures with the BB gun.
We also would draw pictures of the teachers, tape the paper to a cardboard box, and then shoot them.

Yep, I also still have my old Stevens single-shot .410 shotgun waiting for him when he turns 9. I shot a lot of pheasant with that old gun.
I wasn't strong enough to pull back the hammer on it so my dad put a little extension on it. Its still on there for my boy.

My brother shot me with an arrow from ten feet away. Hit me square in the chest, didn't have the tip but left a circle & knocked me on my ass. Hurt like a muther ****er! If it had the tip on it, would have keeled me.

You're either too young or got your azz kicked a lot...

At the time it was one of the few 'toons out there with a strong female character.

There'd be 3 or 4 of us guys playing out in the yard and some neighborhood girl would show up and say "I'm the Blue one!"

You'd think for a minute and go "****, yeah, we do kind of need the blue one..."

Had a few of these bad boys.

[QUOTE=BigCatDaddy;8097068]Had a few of these bad boys.[/QUOTE

Those were ahead of their time, the graphics, for a little take home unit, were really pretty good, felt like playing the real thing.

Nice. :thumb: My dad has a Red Rider, complete with the compass in the stock, that’s going to MiniRadar when I give the OK.

But then came along NES

GI Joe goes back to the 70's and they were much cooler then being about 9" high and no plastic hair.

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8KVGEZEUlt...1600/gijoe.jpg

I had one GI Joe . My POPS called it a doll,I got pissed & threw it away.
I still remember how shocked I was. My lil sister playes with dolls. NOT ME DAD!
After that it was all plastic solders. I still find lil toy solders around the yard every now & then

all of my buddies wanted to come to my house because I was the only one that had this...

<img src=http://paperspaceships.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/ghostbustersprotonpack.jpg>

and I freakin LIVED AND BREATHED DinoRiders for like 5 straight years...

I had the Tyrannosaurus, anklyosaurus, triceratops, and a couple of the Raptors. God I loved them. I still have them in the attic at my parents house but God knows where all the small parts are.

<img src=http://www.toyarchive.com/DinoRiders/Japan/ZissenToyShowDinoRiders2a.jpg>

And I played the baseball version of that football game shown earlier on a daily basis. I can hear the beep, beep, beep it made in my head as I type this...

<img src=http://www.cynical-c.com/archives2/bloggraphics/Mattel-Baseball.jpg>

I still have 2 of mine

You should move out of your mom's basement someday. :evil:

I marked my choices in the poll but LEGOS were my all time favorite. Every new edition would get mixed up in the big box I had. They're now for the nephew when he comes by the folks place.

Best toy ever!!!

NO:evil:

Awesome! Those are the 2 I remember having.

I broke my ankle on one of these when I was around 8 or 9. Still loved playing with it though after I healed.

I had a lot of fun and made myself sick on one of these too.

This thing could be a bitch, they would send cars at you from all lanes and it was damn impossible to get away.

http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Radio-Shack-E...TjsQ~~60_3.JPG

I can't find pictures online, but I really liked a toy that I think was called a "Jumping Jimmy". It was basically a tube with canvas over the top to jump on.

Another one might have been a GI Joe game. You shot darts out of your base at someone's else and if you hit a certain spot on the other guys base it would pop up and you had to try to get all 4.

There was also a thing were you typed in words and it said it back. I always thought it was funny to hear it say "Shit".

Speak & spell ?

That's it!
