The nostalgic toys thread

Holy crap, that's brilliant. Micro Machines were after my time a bit, but I can totally see the appeal.

The military micro machines stuff were so cool to play around with. I played a lot of RTS games back then (still do) so I used to play with them as if it was a real life RTS. The Army Men games helped too

Loved micro machines

I remember loving this when I was a kid.



My mum went spare though as I flooded our kitchen when I put it in the bath. You had to have the water really deep for it dive and at the age of seven I didn't fully understand Archimedes principle.

I had quite a few of those; again it was cool how everything that went on them could be kept inside the box when folded up. I had the toolbox and this:

[JChalmers]

Ohh, so that's what that one looks like whole. I actually found that but only the bottom half in the attack. It was missing the searchlight.

[Trelliz]

strawberry float I had that too. For some reason I specifically remember that little wall in the bottom right more than any of the other bits. Don't know why.

They don't? O_O

[JChalmers]

Nope

Was hoping I could introduce my kid into the world of micro machines and that but they're no longer available!

Something about Hasbro being bought out by a company.

[Dig Dug]

And yes, it did float.

Did anyone else collect Monster Wrestlers in my Pocket?

I'm pretty sure I had a complete set, obtained through some fierce playground trading and negotiation.

Never had the big ones, but my brother and I had quite the collection of Mini Boglins.

Pretty sure Wrestlers in my pocket and Mini Boglins had Pretty long periods of time in Kellogs cereals,had a gooseberry fool load of both.Had that big Boglin in the pic too

That reminds me of these:

I had these ones

Back to the 70s... Pocketeers were ace! They were small, handheld mechanical (rather than electronic) games.

I used to like the driving one. It was *incredibly* simple but fun!
