Anyone remember

Atari game system, Stretch-Armstrong, Evel Knievel stunt cycle action figure, oh and Etch-A-Ketch? With not being able to go out due to the lockdown I'm glad I kept all of these toys. Oh and btw nobody and I mean nobody is allowed to touch my Star Wars collection. Ha ha.

 

Do you have an X-Wing Fighter?

I had a Tie-Fighter that I got used at a garage sale. Between myself and my friends we had a bit of Star Wars & also G.I. Joe. I was the only one that liked to play with Ninja Turtles.


You still have an Etch-A-Sketch? That's pretty cool!

 

My father got rid of all my mint condition Ninja Turtles. He gave them my uncle who threw them away the first time my step cousins left them on the floor.

Some people invest in stocks. I have a lot of new in the box toys that I am sitting on. Whatever is hot at Christmas I pick up. Maybe someday that $20 turns a profit. I know everyone my age wants Nina turtles, Jurassic Park, and Pokemon. Their dad got rid of them too.

 

Yes. I have the X wing w/R2. I also had the Millenium Falcon. Yes I kept them b/c it was part of my younger years.

 

I had an x-wing fighter model that I put together- I love that and it was one of my favorite toys!

 

I gave all of my toys to my nephew. He destroyed them. Just a bunch of GI Joes and He-Men.

 

I don't remember any of that shit...

I remember having a couple of rocks and a stick.

 

I tried to convince the kids in the trailer court that sticks were the new Ghostbusters toys once. They didn't go for it.

 

Kids these days don't even know what a good stick is...

 

Sometimes sticks are all you have. Kids today play on their iPad's.

 

omg He Man! I forgot about that, but when I was really little, I think one of my friends even had Castle Greyskull (I think that's what it was called). I had Man at Arms and some special version of He Man.

 

And why is it that in every Star Wars movie, they’re always pulling maintenance in the bay on these ships?
It’s hilarious!

 

Yeah. Something usually happens with the hyper drive in the millenium falcon as well... lol.

 

I had that. Still have a vivid memory of playing with him behind a chair.

I had Grayskull, too, but never Snake Mountain.

I also had the Ewok set, which I played with to death.

It's good times when you're little and all this means something. Wish I could still be that way.

 

Stretch Armstrong and Stretch Monster

 

Holy crap, you had a stick?????

 

i remember things, more left behind in moving then discarded.
just walked away from because there was no way to keep.
had a real etch a sketch though. the simple mechanical kind. because that was all that exsted yt then.
i remember tin-plate wind ups, and cast zimac. there weren't really techno toys when i was little.
just drafting instruments and cameras that used film and you'd leave the roles of exposed film at the drug store and get your prints and negatives back in about a week.
box brownies, because instamatics didn't exist yet.

 

I remember Stretch Armstrong, I got overzealous and ripped him. I remember some goo oozed out.

 

You had two rocks?
