WHarris1 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 10:51 PM) Starting Lineups (the baseball figurines) were also big with me. You know what player I have. Thank you, I couldnt remember the name of those for the life of me. Those kicked ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:56 PM) anybody else have one of these? they were magnets and you could keep track of standings and stuff. I had one of those for hockey...magnets and then filled out the standings with a dry erase marker. I had a separate board for the playoffs.

IlliniKrush Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I had a decent amount of pogs...but i had about 15 different slammers. I bought em in this package, there were all types of thicknesses, materials, etc. It was nuts. I would have each slammer be used for a different stack...depending on how many pogs were in there, you know. I was a real strategist....lmao. Pogs were banned at my elementary school, i do remember that much. Kinda weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Bear with me here, this description might suck. Did anyone have one of those whiffle ball machines? The one i had, you would step on this circle like thing, which would trigger the machine to shoot a ball up into the air, then you'd hit it. It was electronic. I remember playing with that thing for hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyWhiteSox Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 08:44 PM) I feel like a 6 year old on Christmas Eve. Getting Griffey would be like getting the Turtle Bus, back in the day. Man, I loved that toy. I also had the Blimp, but mine had pieces of duct tape over all the holes that somehow found their way on it after about 3 days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I had the Bears vs. Packers model. I also remember a new rod and reel I received as a Christmas gift. I loved the rod and reel, it was the 4 month wait for the ice to melt that sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 My favorite toys as a kid were the old steel Tonka Trucks, Lincoln Logs, Legos, and my personal favorite, a Sit and Spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowerCaseRepublican Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Legos Old WWF action figures (Rowdy Roddy Piper kicked major league ass) Nintendo TMNT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 The Evil Knievel action figure and motorcycle. You'd put the action figure on his bike, then sit the bike down on this base, then wind up the base, release it and he'd shoot off down the street. It also came with like ramps and all kinds of crap to make obstacle courses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Lite Brite! My mom bought me one fore Christmas a few years ago - sort of as a gag gift. It's still at my parents' house though unless they are holding it for my nephew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO.. not quite. While I did have lincoln logs and pick up sticks , my brother is 4 years younger and my sister 6 so I did get to play with a lot of the "cool" toys from your/their childhoods. I have Barbie's from '73 ish to somewhere around '85 never opened. I also had what seemed to be a lifetime supply of that grey putty like stuff that you would squish out over the Sunday comics and when you lifted it the comic would transfer to it. It came in egg like containers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it.. silly putty. The metal slinkies are the best. The plastic ones didn't have enough weight to go down the stairs properly. We also killed a lot of time with that barrel of monkey's game. The one where you have to pick up the plastic monkey's by their arms. Etch-a-sketch was another solid time killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
