Toys of your youth

My Ma wasn't all that keen on them tbh. But every now and then....

I expect there were far worse things to be consumed in the '80s.

ha, I had that, I was just talking about it to someone yesterday.

True...

Oh James, this is clearly a much more recent reissue of the Millennium Falcon toy. What are you doing playing with that?

I believe this would be more accurate ;-)

70's child added for extra authenticity.

Bet me to it! Although I was going to go for the Empire Strikes Back one..

Also, I thought these guys were called visionaries?

And I think this kinged all the Star Wars toys...

I hadn't previously realised that they brought out a different boxed version for each of the 3 star wars films.

Yes George, you heard me, you fat money grabbing whore. Three films!!

I sold one exactly like this on ebay a couple of years ago for £525.00 to a chap in the U.S. My mother keeps everything so I have an endless supply of my old toys turning up now and then.

Debatable....

As for the most disappointing.

Ha, yes! You just reminded me of this..

If I go back through the mists of time, I find....

:-D

This one was the biggest disappointment. After I found out about the other one I couldn't bring myself to play with it

Just to prove this isn't sexist and all about boys and their toys, my sister loved the Six Million Dollar Man... well actually it was the Bionic Woman and I seem to recall a trip to Frimley Park Hospital to remove the Bionic Woman's powder compact which my sister had shoved up her nose... Perhaps she'd mistakenly associated powder, nostrils and super powers?

Love being reminded of Superstriker, and the Airfix aircraft carrier game. Won 5p by successfully landing the plane at a Watchetts Middle School fair, circa 1979!

Had that even at 8 or such thought something weren't quite right. Touch of the Manowar about it..
