^- This. The original, made of metal and could give a horse a concussion. I fucking loved that thing.

Feel sorry for any one who got the plastic versions they later came out with. They have no idea what they were missing.

time to move out of your parents basement.

Last week i ordered the complete original cartoons of Strawberry Shortcake on DVD. Along with this 1979 anime version of The Little Mermaid that is true to the Andersen book version.

I am slowly repurchasing movies/shows i used to watch when i was little that i no longer have.

Oh man, i remember these, my brothers had them and i thought they were the coolest thing ever.

[MadMatt]

I had a lot of "creative" toys, but the one that sticks out in my mind the most was the Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle. It freakin' ruled. I would love jumping it down the stairs or off the balcony into a pile of leaves or hay. What a great toy!

I had that, the pump went missing, but I used to play with the car nonstop.

[topless_mike]

actually, ma dukes still has my lego's from when i was small... when sean gets another year or so bigger, then we'll give them to him.

To someone with a penis pump without the pump?

Ma dukes? I almost never see people use that. I though I was alone.

between me and my brother, we had so much gi joe shit. it was awesome.

[Chigworthy]

Transformers ruled my childhood. My first one was the red toyota minivan thing. I bought it used at school with scholar dollars and called my mom when I got home because I was so excited. My favorites were the constructicons and the purple pistol guy that made noises. I always wanted robotech toys but never had any. I felt sad when what's his name (Rick?) couldn't hook up with Lynn Minmei and had to settle for frumpy ass Lisa. You know she wouldn't give it up.

they are not toys but I miss and love all the Andersen and Grimm fairytales, both books and movies, especially the ones I grew up with in East Germany from the DEFA studios... I am getting all of them from my sister and mom so my son can see them too.
The books were mostly old German print from my grandparents... I wish I had kept them.

I miss the Stretch Armstrong and the green monster that he fought - also stretched.

Also, the Six Million Dollar Man action figures with Oscar and some crazy face changing robot.

[Chigworthy]

He-man toys were the worst. I had one that had a telescoping robot neck. Exciting.

We used to take them, and use paint from my grandfathers cellar to make newer wrestlers from the ones that were no longer relevant.

Some of the ones I remember are the Killer Bees into the Rougeau brothers, Ken Patera into the Ultimate Warrior and Paul Orndorff into Rick Rude.

Oh and we made a Pipers Pit out of a carboard box that kicked ass.

I had one like that with the hand brake. It ruled. It was a Dukes of Hazard General Lee big wheel.

Wow! The saddest day is when the wheels were so worn out that your parents had to put it out in the garbage.

[styckx]

My Big Wheel was a knock off, but the front wheel was rubber instead. It sucked cause I couldn't do burnouts and rub out holes in the wheel.

[Farmer Dave]

I had two, one was a stick, the other a rock. Oh what fun I had pushing that rock with my stick. I remember one day I picked up the rock and tossed it into the air and hit it with my stick. I never was happy just pushing my rock after that.

oh man I had that. I think my parents took out a second mortgage just to afford that



I remember my brother got this X-Men plane as a gift and it ended up coming with two left wings. I was so upset because this plane looked like the coolest thing ever. I thought my parents returned it and just got the money, but we stored christmas ornaments in the box and every year when we setup the tree I would be reminded of the plane that never was.

BUT I NEVER GOT IT!! STUPID SANTA CLAUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tanless1]

i see the big wheel represented, but what about the " green machine". no, i didnt have one. got to play on one a couple of times.

evil kenevil stunt bike w/ stunt van, had more than one of those. have seen a couple of launchers around, and pretty sure i know where a bike may be. missing evil, and the handle bars .... but still does wheelies.

[TooLowBrow]

i loved the scooters my cousins had. they were like razor scooters but bigger, the wheels were much bigger and were like bike tires (but smaller)

i dont know why the old scooters disappeared and razors took over.
is it cause razors are foldable?
if so thats the stupidest thing ever

[BeefJerkyJerry]

The best childhood toy was also the first childhood "DRUG"... Spin til you puke! :drunk:

And the coolest thing is I found a bunch of my old matchbox cars in my parent's attic yesterday and brought them home for my daughter to play with. And there were a bunch of the original boxes with them so now I'm wondering if I should round them up and sell 'em on Ebay. They're all from the 60s.

I never got the real Barbie car either. My Dad would go to Wal Mart and get the cheap, generic ones that the Barbies just kind of fit in if you bent their knees backwards. Being poor sucked!

Yeah, and it seems like the one I had had more power. But that was thirty years ago. Faulty memory maybe.

Yeah, that's funny. Then he doesn't clear either of them.

I used to use a woodburning kit a lot when I was a kid.

Do they even make them anymore?

I can't imagine them even being legal nowadays for anyone under 18.

It was like handing a kid a soldering iron.

It's kind of like getting your kid into model building at a young age. That model glue is perfect for sniffin'. The parent has to know the child well, I guess.

[PapaBear]

There should be a most dangerous childhood toy thread, but I'd want to slap the first person that says lawn darts. We get it already!!! I'd have to suggest the erector set. Lots of sharp edges.
