agree, I still have some star wars sets somewhere, damnit where are they stored!
I recently went though my rack of apple boxes full of my old stuff and I did not run across them,

now I am kinda pissed and want to go find them! thanks for the reminder

of course a lady would say!
some dolls though are just kinda creepy realistic
they are often featured in movies for that reason

never had one but why pay 25 cents at the mall when you can ride for free at home?
makes you wonder how many kids fell of those when they got a bit rowdy!

toys for boys......I have to include this!
I had one, not quite like this, bit newer and it was blue, fenders were not so high
more like a mini mans bike but I cannot find a picture anywhere online
full throttle about 20MPH
no helmet......no problem, still here, nothing broken!

closer to this although it states 1969, dad bought it used so maybe it was that old?

super rare now, if you have one restored or just original likely worth some big coin

We blew them up with firecrackers

you mean cherry bombs and M-80! black cats would just leave some black mark

Just the black cats

 

[egp320i]

Just the black cats

back in the day I would get fireworks from cheyenne and mighy mites were powerful, like twice a black cat
ladyfingers were weak but a string of 500 of them would make a racket

 

[egp320i]

suppose this could be a toy but portable.....went on road trips I took this with me, until my older brother took it from me......haha

and then this one......least he would not take it from me as it was 2 player as I recall

edit: it was single player! the other side was to pretend you were playing against somebody and not the computer!
guess coleco was ahead of their time

Many of these toys remain popular and collectors hunt for them. What were your favorites?

I had the 6 million dollar man , electronic football I can't remember which one I had. I remember.
When dad brought home a simon one day .. We had just about every board game.My family was very competitive ... Monopoly could get vicious
legos up the ass
etch a sketch
lite brights
I had a merlin
Green army men up the ass
Me and my dad would put plywood over the pool table where we had train tracks already tacked down . we do something different with it every year though with accessories and themes...
Hot wheels tracks
my brother had a s*** load of racetrack cars, the electric ones. They had a little.
Fin poking out at the bottom with two electrical contanct ...Do that on the other side of the basement
Those were just as fun as the trains
