[Sox62]

This thread has been an interesting mix of some of us showing our age,and others their youth.

I had the whole first series of these things when I was kid, then my &*%$& mother gave them away when I was in high school.

I had this one too. Basically I had about every toy gun made back then. And every GI Joe troop and accessories. If I had all that stuff now I'd be rich.

Yup, it walked. So did the Diplodocus, Triceratops, Torosaurus, Stegosaurus, and the improperly name Brontosaurus.

Glad someone else remembers them, I've gotten more blank stares when I mention them to people, even guys my own age.

"What rolls down stairs
and over the chairs
and into your neighbor's dog?
It fits on your back,
It's good for a snack,
Everyone knows it's log.
It's log, it's log,
It's big, it's heavy, it's wood.
It's log, it's log, it's better than bad, it's good."

Ren and Stimpy FTW!  Not a toy, but a huge part of my childhood!  Woohoo!

    LOL what a great topic! Ive had many of those toys. The CV with foam F4us..also had the island airbase version. The Tonka Winnebago. Wow that almost brought a tear. Verti birds, bigwheels. Loved em all. Karaya my little brother and I used to have that game as well. Actually it was his and we'd set up all the army men and use the catapults to knock em down.


  One toy I never had was LiteBrite. But I do remember the jingle.

"Lite Brite making things with Liiiight...outta sight making things with LiteBrite."

Thene the announcer would chime in..."With refills you can make Bugs Bunny and Bozo the Clown!"

LOL

We had those Johhny Seven guns in the UK but my mum wouldnt let me have one

Had to contect myself with Subbuteo (soccer game), using the timer clock on my mums oven, 15 minutes each way

I also bought Subbuteo, in late 1970´s I think. I've kept it safe and we just recently played it with my son

Airfix soldiers 1:72 and 1:32 sets... many of them. We had huge wars built outside in sand
