Awesome Reli!
I've got a couple of vintage Sho-Gun Warriors pieces in my collection:

This one below was one of my favourite toys as a kid, would love to get the whole range of those 2ft tall ones still.

Coke yoyos were MASSIVE down here in the early 80s, I've got all the ones I had then, plus a lot more now

I've got some vintage Garbage Pail Kids toys too

Got a lot more toys around too, but most are boxed up in my bedroom. Only got a small amount of real estate for them in my living room now that the boomboxes take pride of place.



Rock On.

When I was about 10 there were these little sticky squids, you could throw
them agains a window and they then would crawl down :-D

And after a while when they were not sticky anymore oyu could wash them in detergent
and then when dry they would be sticky again! :huh:

They seem to be popular again now!, but I do not know the name of them otherwise
I would get me one on ebay or so :sin:

Is that Grand Mazinga Zeto? (in Spanish Grand Mazinger Z - pronouced: Gran Mah-zin-yer Set-tah!!!) Right on Rick!!!

I collected the whole (Mazinga Zeto trading card) album back in the late 70's... after I filled it up, my prize was a Casio Black Watch! LOL!

not to mention if I had kept all the GI Joe stuff I used to have !!

I still have my first BB gun, ( well all my BB/pellet guns I should say), it is a Crosman 760, and NO I never shot my eye out even though I do wear glasses, but my neighbor once shot one in his garage aiming eye level the BB hit the wall and came straight back and hit him right next to his eye, lucky for him !!

I remember the GI Joe they now fetch quite some $$$$.

I believe production started in the late 60's.

Do you guys remember Evel Kneivel toys from back in the day???

I was the coolest kid on the block for quite some time back when I got the motorcycle toy from this classic commercial:

I may have a few things from when I was a kid, but they are buried in a box some place.

But I used to have a BLAST on one of these, my absolute favorite thing as a little kid.
