[Fox1789]

Ugh Furbies and Poochies were awful...

I have some of these creatures from the 80's called Popples, god they are awesome. Not the new ones though. They are hideous...

I have the purple one. ^_^

 

[Galletea]

I had popples, and the new ones are truly hideous. And I had a furby. But he died,
I didn't have anything obscure. I had transformers and Barbie.

Every toy from the 80's has been recycled, except one. We've had Transformers, GI Joe, Cabbage Patch Kids, Masters of the Universe, Star Wars, Pound Puppies, Care Bears, and Strawberry Shortcake. The only one missing is M.A.S.K. I miss those...little bitty guys with vehicles that turned into other vehicles, like an IROC Z Camaro with DeLorean doors that turned into a plane. Ah, memories...

Polly Pockets and Mighty Max. Polly Pockets still exist today in one form, only they no longer fit in your pocket, which I assume was the whole point.

Back when Lego had the good ol' 9V Motors. And didn`t suck.

Mon-Chi-Chi's....that song still gets stuck in my head and I wanna scream.

Micronauts (original release, circa '77-78) were the bomb.

Panels & Girder for those who couldn't afford Erector sets.

Electronic Dungeon's and Dragon's by MB.

Teddy Ruxpin? Shogun Warriors?

Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine.

Stretch Armstrong followed by Suckerman.

Dinkie's dicast Space 1999 ships...Eagle 1

I found this page which was kinda fun to peruse: http://www.timewarptoys.com/gallery.htm

Seriously, LEGO has got to be the greatest toy ever made.

 

[Alone Disciple]

OHHHH....I just wet my pants....I had this Starbird as young boy, and it was one of my Favorite. There was a second released later, the Space Avenger/Intruder (1979) which was black.

 

[Rosszul]

I miss my Star Wars action figures. I remember when I bought Luke Skywalker his lightsaber was bent and Han Solo disappeared the day after I got him for Christmas. Ah, to be 6 again.

Lego used to be awesome. Then it stopped. Lego, Lego, how I miss thee.

This is funny because I had a dream about Mighty Max recently, where I was in one of those things. It was creepy, yet epic. Also, I would like to add POGS to this list. And, on that same note, SLAMMERS, which were way cooler, though both wre necessary.

[MattKirby]

I'll just link to the article [http://www.radaronline.com/features/2006/12/gilbert_u238_atomic_energy_lab.php]
While everything on that site's list is something people would want to forget, they still deserve to be mentioned here.

 

[Gotham Soul]

I miss it already.

 

[jim_doki]

snip

that article was awesome

i remember most of those toys, and now i want my own radioativity kit. although knowing me i would have just thrown the uranium at spiders and tried to get superpowers

Legos, they used to be awesomepants, some of them still are.
But anybody that tells me that Bionicle, or any of the new themes (like exofighters, or whatever) are LEGOS, is wrong.
