Toys of your youth

Take toys out of the house? You must be mad. I lost that privilege after I lost one when I was younger.

Fantastic thread. Can't believe how much stuff I'd completely forgotten about, yet somehow suddenly have amazingly vivid memories of.

Wish I still had this:

Built one of those for a friend. He had the money I had the skills. Brilliant fun, both building and driving it. Just Googled and they still make them, tempted to get myself one now but could do without an expensive new hobby.

Can you convince a friend to buy it?

Can you convince a friend to buy it?

Do you want to be my friend?

Do you want to be my friend?

You need a friend with money.

You need a friend with money.

Actually, so do I now.

Not so much a toy, but had a toy attached so. 2000AD get in.

^ One of my favourite comics!

Is there a comic thread? I'd be guaranteed to never ever get any work done then :-)

I'm already spreading myself a bit thin :-/

Cheer fob! So much easier than utfs.

*puts comic thread on ignore

My best pal is the designer on 2000AD, some cracking stories about the nerds who work in the same office (they share with a computer game company)

Oh the flashbacks! This thread just keeps on giving.

I was just about to write this exact sentence!

Pogz>Tazos

This, too. I thought at the time LEGO had struck a very good balance between using simply LEGO bricks and additional specialist parts. Before then, it was all a bit too bricky for my taste and afterwards the non-bricky bits started to completely overwhelm the bricks. I'm well aware that I may just be holding this opinion because it was around when I was most receptive to it, but some friends also had lots of older and newer LEGO, and somehow I thought this was just about the best range.

I absolutely agree, Oliver Stickler.

I remember thinking Pogz were for cunts :-)

lol
