Recommended Posts

Posted (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

My favorites as a kid were:

LiteBrite

Spin Art

 

I also remember having tons of Rainbow Brite toys sprites/etc so that must have been big too

Dear Santa,

I have been REALLY good this year, I would like a Hula Hoop, Slinky, Lincoln Logs, A talking Mr. Ed Ride on Pony, Colorforms, Barbies, and a bright pink bike. :)

 

(I'm over 49 but under 51... a girl NEVER reveals her true age. LOL!)

Ummm...my fav toys as a kid were the green pecans from the tree out back that we used as ammo for the slingshots we made......but I do remember Stretch Armstrong, Knight Rider,  and the original Star Wars figures.

Seconded

 

I'm hoping the Wii U will be on sale this year.  $299 is too much to pay!

Not what the original poster was originally looking for, but the title is a bit misleading.

 

Mine:

Stompers

Tyco race track

M.A.S.K

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

Anything Evel Knievel!!!!! I wish I kept my toys! 

 

And I second the chemistry set. I made gallons of India ink with mine and my sister ruined the pool table mixing my chemicals together. Happy times!

I remember those. I wonder if they can still be found anywhere, that would be fun with the grandson.

 

 

My wishlist:

 

Barbie Dreamhouse

Handheld 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 :).

Digger the dog (ooohhh, I loved him)

Colorforms

Lite Brite

Merlin

 

My favorite -  Red Honda Kick N Go Scooter! 

 

Do I really need to list my age?  :)

Great 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.

My favorites:

 

  • Rainbow Brite
  • She-Ra/He-Man figures
  • Tamagotchis
  • My Cabbage Patch Kid *named Beulah Buttwinkle by the company, lol*

 

There's a TON more that I cannot think of right now.  I am an only child, and was pretty spoiled in the 80s and 90s.

 

I am 34.
