**80-90's Toys!**

But got something way cooler for Christmas instead. I loved the dual rotors operated from beneath and the removable rocket-propelled escape pods on either side:



80s toys absolutely rocked.

My parents got me this for my birthday in the way early 90's, but I found it before they wrapped it up. They were tired of me finding hidden presents before holidays, so they drew the line with that one and returned it... I never saw it again

Seems that childhood days are back here. One of the pics containing a store full of toys is really nostalgic. At this age it often feels sometimes to play, add our own dialogues and to create a drama while playing with toys. Truly it was fun playing with the toys.

Back when $18 was a ton of money for an 8 year old, I dreamt of purchasing this:

And then there was this awesome thing:



80s toys absolutely rocked.

I still have all 3 in my parent's crawl space with a huge GI Joe collection, including the USS Flagg.



I never had the hovercraft or the F-14, those were my favorites.

My oldest toys are probably the VAMP and RAM.

robw_z: That's gotta be one of the cruelest Christmas stories ever. Peeking at presents is such a natural thing. I'd be surprised if your parents didn't do the same.

And how can we forget these Hot Wheels Crackups? Had a few back in '84/'85:

[Rapid Decompression]

I remember those!!! SO bad ass!

[vr6fanatic]

The good ole days. I wish I still had these toys!

Growing up I can remember going to a store called Child world, and collecting mego dolls. Today's stores are getting filled with less and less toys! I believe it's all due to the PS3's XBox 360. And al these new hand held games as well.

I loved the big wheels with the handbrake thing on one wheel....perfect for skidding sideways while also tearing up the plastic wheels

I used to have this penguin thing where the little plastic penguins would hop up these stairs (stairs moved) then get dumped onto a slide where they slid down and put onto a thing moving them back to the stairs to go back up top.

Mt grandpa also got me a massive box set of transformers as a youth...was the greatest present I ever got.

Isn't the image above a "super big wheel?"?
