11. Everything that was fun was "dangerous"

[Canuckistanian]

7. Big Bruiser - the Tow Truck

You cannot imagine the joy I felt seeing this under the Xmas tree in about 1965 or so.

13. I remember the feeling

of hoping for something like that. :)

[Bombero1956]

20. man I wished for that toy

my parents gave me a toy guitar instead, only it had no strings so I couldn't disturb them.

[Auggie]

36. I had one of those too!

Forgot all about it until your post. Thanks for the memories.

8. G.I. Joe...Barbie's feller:

Not those wimpy little short guys they've got nowadays,either. :D

14. The earlier versions of toys are always so much better

It's the same with all the things I liked. For example, today's My Little Ponies just don't hold a candle to the ponies of yore. :P

[Danger Mouse]

12. No commercials for voodoo dolls and pointed sticks lit on fire and rolled in broken glass?

:cry:

[Lavender Brown]

15. That explains everything.

J/K. :hug:

[Danger Mouse]

29. Oh hush.

:hug:
You're a good friend, you know that?

[Lavender Brown]

30. Aww

Likewise. You can borrow my Glo-Worm anytime-YES, I still have it. :hug:

[Starry Messenger]

16. Bionic Woman doll.

I had her bionic car and school-room too. She hooked into everything!

[Lavender Brown]

19. The bionic neck sound effects are scary

:rofl:

Awesome. :thumbsup:

[Tom Kitten]

17. King Zor!

I had this when I was a kid, I wish I still did! It managed to last until 1968 or so, I don't remember it getting thrown out...I've seen a few on ebay for many hundreds of dollars :(

[Lavender Brown]

23. That happened with a bunch of my stuff too

We had this old Charlie Brown lunchbox that's supposedly worth a lot- nobody knows what happened to it, even though my parents save EVERYTHING. :(

[Lorien]

18. Battleship from the 70's:

25. I LOVED Battleship

I had the one from the commercial, but I always wanted the one that lit up.

[Lorien]

21. Lite-Brite:

22. Evil Kenevil!

:woohoo:

[Lavender Brown]

26. Somehow I don't believe that worked quite as advertised.

:D

[AwakeAtLast]

24. Merlin

I think my parents still have it:

[Lavender Brown]

28. Things like that seemed sooo high tech at the time.

:) I guess someday kids will think the same about Wii and all that.

[SacredCow]

39. I ran across mine at Mom's just last week!

I was tempted to put batteries in it, but couldn't find enough of them.

I seem to recall that Merlin sucked at tic-tac-toe.

[Lavender Brown]

27. not a commercial but... SIMON!

34. The BEST game EVAH!

And it drove my parents nuts.

[XemaSab]

35. Star Wars action figures!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yuC0r79Cjk&feature=related

:D

[DarkTirade]

43. The only one we had was the exploding speederbike.

Unfortunately it was my brother's, not mine. So I don't have it anymore.

My old roommate had the same one though, so when we decided to have a geeky christmas tree one year, we decorated it with little lightsaber keychains and made it look like the speederbike had hit the tree, with speederbike pieces all over one side of it... and clinging on for dear life at the top was the biker scout instead of the more traditional angel. :)

[KG]

37. slightly OT but, my parents had the annoying habit of buying me, at xmas, 10 toys i had no

intrest in, instead of the one or two things i constantly pointed out in the sears catalogue. oy!

i still intend to buy myself a 'rock 'em sock 'em robots' one day, dammit!

[Giant Robot]

38. Micronauts!
