Clackers :wtfru: Wonder how many kids knocked their teeth out :lol:
My wife still has hers from when she was a kid.


It was fun growing up in the 60s and 70s. We had cool toys like Lawn Darts :rockwoot:

http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/thisw.../lawndarts.jpg

I got one of these when I was 6
http://www.musclecars.net/parts/part...0630407247.jpg
( from the ad, it's for sale for $84 )

The battery-operated microphone and speaker are operational.The helmet is made of plastic and was manufactured by Brown & Bigelow of Minneapolis, Minnesota USA in the 1960s.Measures 11" x 14" across the brim and is about 8.5" in height.

You need to remember which one it is!!!! I must have it!!!! :rockwoot:

there isn't an ellio's in MO. bullshit.

Dude I just remembered having a truck with tiger paws that would pop out of the wheels when iit got stuck

I did acid in the 70's too.

Orange barrels, Four Way Windowpane, Mickeymouse blotter...

JC

I had the same one, 4 paws would pop out of each wheel and it would claw its way past anything

I had one of those, and a metric shitton of Stompers.

Those rectangles were the shit!

You know you want one.

I took mine apart with a can opener and a butter knife.

Got in trouble too. :lol:

JC

I wonder how many bad chemicals were in those crawlers. LOL


As I get older I realize how annoying toys are. No kids FTW!

I'm reasonably certain the fumes would had caused cancer in California.

Wait a minute. I was in California when I had this thing.

Fucking Mattel gave me cancer. I'm suing the bastards.

JC

It was bugging me so I found it. I had the red one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W4MYJt8c4w

Look at post 30... you are a little late

THATS the motherfucker. one i had was a white jeep though iirc

does anyone remember a cartoon from the late 80s early 90's that people used to slide across canyons on ropes, the toys had long thin ropes that were 10 feet long and had clips that could clip on the end of a table and the guy on the contraption would slide down it . It was sky something, sky rider, sky commander etc...

and for the rest of the 80s

You cum dumpster, I shouldn't post this for you.

http://www.dukenostalgia.com/kscope/...SkC_index.html

Ti 99-4a. i still have two of those :rockwoot: amazing what that computer was capable of at the time. thing was like a gateway drug to a lifelong gaming habit :lol: even used to try and translate sample programs from the ti-basic to q-basic on my 286. think theres still some old 99'er mags at my parents house somewhere

You want some nostalgia, this site is chocked full of that shit

http://www.action-figures.ca/action_figure_catalogs.htm

even derf's gay ass sky commanders.

hawt but wheres gem?

ok, next one. anyone remember the spaceships that came with a vhs tape and you could shoot at the tv?

no but these are soem bad ass cartoons if you remember them

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKmys-Tys90&feature=fvw

captain power, check out the 2nd page of the 1987 catalog link I posted.

dude there is chuck norris action figures, check out the 3rd page from the end in 1986.

http://www.action-figures.ca/action_figure_catalogs.htm

Bow Down punks!

Oh shoot!

Hell yeah - still have mine stashed somewhere too. :lol:
Blows my mind how incredibly more powerful and capable the machine I'm using right now is than my 1st one - that Ti99-4a with its whopping 2 kilo-bytes of ram (.002 megabytes, or .000002 gigabytes) & cassette-tape storage - in just one generation. :bowdown:

Won a regional jr. high science-fair w/ that bish & a simple little BASIC program which processed study-habit/grade statistics from a survey I made of my class. Shoulda stuck with bits & bytes instead of going to nuts & bolts for a profession - might have wound up a much better-paid dork! :shrug: :lol:

Yep, that was my first computer.
I tinkered with trying to write BASIC programs from their guide, but got bored with it... especially since I didn't have any media to write the programs to and lost them every time I shut it off. :rolleyes:

Knocked my brother out with those

Your post reminded me of this Avatard. I loved these things, but they bit my fingers more than a few times.

Dinosaucers and Jem were the only two I remember from that shit...

CONSTRUX! I loved that shit! We used to build cars out of them and smash them together head-on. The winner was who's car would keep rolling after the most smashes.


I was just about to put up a link to the Big Trak.

Here's another:

Someone mentioned Stompers, I had some:
http://offroadaction.ca/wp-content/u...2/wrangler.jpg

Heh I still have a couple cox 049 powered u-controls

Vic said something or another was truly, truly something the other day and I brought up gem forgetting that its older than her and shed never seen it. It was just funny as hell cause she said it the exact same way

I had two of the white ships/guns. They were badass.

This was the biggest piece of crap. The drive shafts going into the hubs for the tracks stripped the first time I used it. Returned it for a new one. The battery compartment cover broke off and the drive shafts stripped again..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdMWeu4DKTM

was captain power the one where you got a toy to shoot at the screen during the show. the enemy planes would have flashing target and you had to hit the target. but basically the shit didnt work? is that that, or something else?

http://www.toy-tma.com/wp-content/up...-Soaker-50.jpg

super soaker 50 was the best out of all of the super soakers

makes me pissed i sold all of the toys from my youth...

The kid across the street from me had this. The thing was huge!

http://veggiemacabre.files.wordpress...2/ussflagg.jpg

My cousin had that beast. He also had a Millenium Falcon that was huge.

damn wonder what the original price was on that carrier

The Shogun series, awwww yeeah

Here is one I still have. The drill pops out like nobodys business.

http://i49.tinypic.com/2qdtowo.jpg

http://i50.tinypic.com/zmfgr7.jpg

Bullshit. The 100 was a monster. Especially if you put a 50 tank in place of the pressure ball. I cry when I think of what nerf has done to the super soaker name

I had one of those, battery door was shit, we used duct tape.

I had like a 5000 that had a backpack. Fucker was like a water hose. Kids quit playing water wars with me. The 50 is definitely the classic cause it was the first true badass water gun.

It says in that catalog link I posted it.

I didn't, mine are all in storage. I have all my micro machines/TMNT action figures/Some GI Joes (original rubber band first series) that survived my murdering of them/Construx/first series transformers/entire exosquad first run mechs/hot wheels/misc stuff. I am not real sure what all I have. I have a ton of toys that I kept. Hope we have a boy, if not I will probably just start ebaying the shit when I get older.

Tigger's ex is a super soaker.

A lot of that shit you'll find to be worthless... However, I made a fucking killing on micro machines like 6-7 years ago... Probably 20 cars, a few of the little town pieces, and the battleship.. I made almost $200. Crazy.

Then again, my sisters handheld pac man game, circa 1983, in perfect condition wouldn't bring $10 w/ free shipping.

yeah, i dont think any of it will bring huge bucks, I mostly kept it for sharing with my children.

I guess that Shogun stuff is worth a bunch of money now. I wish I still had mine. I had several of the big robots.

I wanted The Animal so bad.

I had this though.

JC

Same here. It was a POS but this one was even worse, we ended up taking it back after Christmas.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd1IBdfL3fs

I had the original as well. Sounded like a dust buster. It went through the rubber skirts like crazy.

I had one of those too, damn thing only work on a floor as perfect as a basketball court. My parents had to take me to school to run the damn thing. We returned it after like two uses.

What, a nine dollar hover-craft was unreliable? :lol:

JC

Those things weren't nine dollars. They were like 50-70 bucks when they came out.

worked great for me, lasted a long time too, a few years, just had to keep a fresh layer of duct tape as a wear strip on the skirt or it wouldn't glide right

And the battery would last 10 minutes if you were lucky.

Yeah, kind of like the Air Hogs Storm Launcher of recent. I've seen vids and reviews from people who are veteran RC folks, but as a beginner, I got a bit over-zealous and crashed it hard after about 4 flights. The battery didn't last long at all, so I just tossed it, rather than trying to repair it. I've thought about getting another one, along with a second or third battery, but I'd have to make sure to temper my ego and keep it in beginner mode for a LONG time. I'm not sure I'm patient enough for that. :lol:

Which means they were making the thing for nine dollars.

You suck at capitalism.

JC

These things were actually pretty badass... I mean, as badass as you can get from Tyco...

This was my first rc car

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8j19sM9BjQ

Repost!

I remember that thing. Who had it?

I had one that worked great for a long time. Then I started hitting jumps with it like they do in the commercials and the tracks started falling off. Of course the Battery Door got the Duct Tape treatment as well. Then the Scorcher came out and people started arguing over which was faster:lol:

I had this one. It worked AWESOME. It would shoot the same distance no matter how many times it was pumped. It had one problem though...It came with a big warning on it that you absolutely could not leave pressure in it without firing it. I brought it to the beach one day and forgot I had left pressure in it. A huge BANG came out of the inside of it and it never worked again...

http://www.isoaker.com/Armoury/Analy...er_cps2000.jpg

That's because the trigger was just a pinch mechanism that pinched a piece of rubber tubing. I had the same one and it did the same thing - I took it apart, replaced the tubing, and all was well with the world.

But could you shoot Jap-Nazis with it?

Mine shoots Jap-Nazis.

JC

Dude, mine too. My grandpa painted mine camo, I had the black one. Turbo power was fuckin sweet.

Red one for me, by the time I was done with it, the nubs on the rear wheels were gone, one of the front wheel suspensions stayed up and both front wheel pointed in different directions. But man was that thing fun, there was another kid on my street with the car that had the other frequency so we could race them together

Bigfoot was my favorite toy.

http://www.fast-autos.net/diecast-ca...0600403781.jpg

I had a super soaker 2000...Shit was badass.

Anyone have a nice collection of these?

http://img.timeinc.net/time/photoess...0_toy/pogs.jpg

Pogs were the shit when i was a kid

You crazy kids. I was too old for that shit.

I had like 30 Slammers...Lol

Had one of those too, awesome.

Too old for pogs, didn't know why the fuck you guys liked them...
