[taiboxa]

Transformers > All
Note: Chicks dig Transformer T-Shirts...

[Monkeytown]

we were poor so I didn't have a lot of cool stuff like some of you guys. My favorite was the little green army men that came like 100 in a bag. I would spend hours setting them up in a battle scene in my room and then take like 5 minutes for them all to get killed.

I also liked my Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker with the retractable light saber!

I had nintendo in college. My parents gave it to me when they upgraded to Sega. Me and my roommates played Mario Bros and Star Trek Next Generation 24/7 til we beat both of them. Then we never played it again. Don't know how many classes I missed playing that thing.

[Lobsterman]

Star Wars,Super Jock,whirly Bird,the old big 12 inch GI Joes which go for big money now ahhh those were the days

[Tock]

Ya, that was one of the greatest kid show ever. Humor was much more sophisticated than anything else . . . Witchypoo was great . . .

[TheNatural3456]

lol did anyone else have a glow worm?

[Tock]

Play-doh, and the accompanying "fun factory" that made different shaped logs.
All-metal Erector sets.
Road race sets, with little cars that ran around a track, and you controlled the speed with a hand-held rheostat.
Lincoln Logs.
Electronic kits, where you put together tube radios and transistor gizmos.
There was a mail-order company that advertised in the back of comic books, and their stuff was neat . . . whoopie cushions, joy buzzers, radios that worked without batteries, eyeglasses that let you see through clothes, but my favorite was a 12 foot tall hot air balloon made out of tissue paper. Ya, for $4 they'd send you a pre-cut balloon, and you used Elmer's glue to assemble the dozen pieces, then attach a 2 foot metal ring at the bottom, and it was up to you to figure out where to find a source of hot air to fill it up and make it fly. I used a barbecue pit, and positioned the balloon over the rising air, and had lots of fun for a few hours. The balloon would float up, up, up, and then slowly descend. Then someone had the "smart" idea to make the fire hotter by tossing a newspaper on the barbecue grill. Well, sparks from the burning paper caught the tissue paper balloon on fire while it was inflating, so we had to let go of it . . . It ascended, all the while burning burning burning. Man oh man, it was like having our own personal Hindenburg . . . Its last flight was spectacular, but then again, it was its last flight. Ya, that hot air balloon was the best . . . Gave some thought to trying out their Flying Saucer shaped hot air balloon, but never got around to it.

[Cycleon]

yeah - lincoln logs! etch-a-sketch, red ryder bb gun (I made alll the cats nervous then) Oh, anyone else remeber atari 1 - with the squash game with 2 bars? or buying a Tandy computer? or when Radio Shack was full of super cool stuff you really really wanted?

always will remember my dad made an electric railroad for me - a big deal back then

[TheMudMan]

I had a big wheel.........two of them as the tires wore out quickly on the first one!

Then I upgraded to a GREEN MACHINE!!!!!

Those kicked tail........made big wheels look foolish............

~SC~

Big Wheels were the best............. My mom would have to buy me and my 2 brothers a new big wheel every couple months because we would destroy them.

I remember when the Green Machine came out that was the coolest Big Wheel of them all because of the break pedal on the side.

[chicamahomico]

M-80's, Black Cat's, bottle rockets.....or anything else that goes bang bang!! Firecrackers are dirt cheap, amusing and timeless.

[SwoleCat]

RUBIX CUBE!!!!!!

Everybody had one.

On keychains no less.

~SC~

[sp9]

Great mentions so far:

Tecmo bowl - You couldn't get me away from this. There was also a baseball game that I lost months of my life on. A friend actually bought the arcarde conversion for the first nintendo. It was an arcade style cabinet. Awesome.

Also liked the green machine.

In addition, I loved the Stomper 4x4's. Especially getting the wheels caught in my little sisters hair. I was a big Commodore 64 freak as well (1mhz CPU with 1/4 of 1 meg of ram and either 8 or sixteen colors, can't remember).

[gya321]

how about transformers?? robots turned into vehicles. I remember the cartoons.

Yeah those were bad, The originals anyway

[Deezuhl]

Lincoln logs. they were awesome!! geared toward the dumber kids like me that could figure out the erector sets!!!

another big one already said was garbage pail kids. They were a hot commodity in school. you lied, cheated and stole to get as many as you could.

etch a sketch was great for building a staircase. I dont think i got anything more than a flight of steps made with mine. I hear they have them now to hook up to tv screens.

[gya321]

lol did anyone else have a glow worm?

I think I had one, did they have a plastic head and a stuffed body?

[TheNatural3456]

yupp...and they glowed...mine was green

[Deezuhl]

I'm trying not to think that some of you swole guys still sleep in bed with your glow worm. yes i had one too...

AHHHH!!! Tecmo and Stomper 4X4's!!! Totally forgot about that stuff!

Those Stompers were good in the sandbox.

We used to make long ass tracks and race for vehicles!

~SC~

[Deezuhl]

ok ,i got 2 of them that nobody i know seems to remember.

pogo ball, it was a flying saucer type thing with a ball in the middle and you hopped with it between your feet like a pogo stick but a ball. they banned them from toy stores cause kids broke their ankles i think.

the other was called orby or orbi. it was an orange rubber ball with like 18 inch streamers coming out and you took it an swung it around and round and threw it. it was hard to know where it would go and most of the time went on the neighbors roof.

[gya321]

yupp...and they glowed...mine was green

I forgot all about those things. I believe they had a zipper in the back and I would hide things in there(not sure what)

[SwoleCat]

Remember those plastic blow up dolls that were life-like and you used to ........................

Oh, wait, those were my teen years!

J/K

~SC~

[sp9]

stomper 4*4

[PiecinItUp]

When we were young we would go around to newly developing roads with the big pipes on the side waiting to be put underground...they would have these big rubber bands that would go accross the diameter of the pipes, we would take about 10 or 15 of these and tie them together and make the largest rubber band ever, in the summer we would put down the slip n slide hook up the band to a tree and use it as a sling shot, same thing in the winter using an innertube...man that was some fun SH*T...althogh if it snapped back and hit someone you would have a big ass welt for more than a week!!

[3Vandoo]

GI JOE's I did my education with them, but my ****ing parents never bought me the ****ing plane carrier, I had everything, even 21 destroy, **** I could have do a ****ing platoon of destro.

Anyway, commanding my Joe's I discovered and said to myself "One day im gonna be a general and command my own army" yes soon enough this will happen. in 20 years or so.
