len_mullen Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) At work today, we were talking about BF and what the Friday after Thanksgiving was like when we were kids. We started remembering favorite toys. What toys from your youth would you love to see in a 2013 BF flyer? I'll start... - Johnny Lightning Race Track - Rockem Sockem Robots (the good ones, not the knockoffs) - Colorforms - Silly Sand - Creepy Crawlers - Model trains Age: 51 Edited October 18, 2013 by len_mullen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msomnipotent Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Anything Evel Knievel!!!!! I wish I kept my toys! And I second the chemistry set.

Bopeep Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 zipcord motorcycle - it had a metal rear wheel and a plastic front wheel and a plastic guy on it that you could pose in different positions I remember those. I wonder if they can still be found anywhere, that would be fun with the grandson. My wishlist: Barbie DreamhouseHandheld electronic football game. It was just little red dots on a little bitty screen, but I probably played that thing for more hours than my kids have played with the most expensive of their game consoles .

len_mullen Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 zipcord motorcycle - it had a metal rear wheel and a plastic front wheel and a plastic guy on it that you could pose in different positionsGreat memory. I had these. I also had a car that had a paper 'program' that directed its movements. You notched this cardboard strip then inserted it into the car and let the car run. The notches would steer the car. Lots of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
