Re: Toys/Games from the Past
When the Hot Wheels Sizzlers came out, we were in heaven. They were a pain to charge, but man could they move! My friend and I spent hours inventing new kinds of tracks and challenges, especially elaborate jumps:

We also did Estes model rockets for a while. Never got to build this one... it was expensive as were the engines. But we had some moments of victory and agony of defeat times!

Re: Toys/Games from the Past
Haha, Estes rockets were great....water rockets were really fun too and less fuss. Lost quite a few of them in the trees and big bushes around my parent's house.
Now that's a big slot car set! We had owned at least a couple of them, so HARD to keep the cars on the track at the insane speeds they'd run LOL.GO 'HAWKS!

Re: Toys/Games from the Past
I played electric football for years and years. I even kept the board for at least 20 years before finally throwing it out.
My all time favorite game

Who could ever forget this?
A few years ago, my nephew actually gave me this for Christmas, and I thought it was pretty cool.

Re: Toys/Games from the Past
I used to have transformers and the like though one thing I cherished and regret giving away were my metal toy cars. I had close to a hundred of them for sure.
One Transformer I did have that I lost and still think about every once in a while to this day was this:
Actually I have a feeling someone stole it.

Re: Toys/Games from the Past
Loved Ultra Magnus. I still have some Transformers left but I am pretty sure someone stole a bunch years ago when I still lived at home. We had some guys doing work on the house and about a month later I realized most of them were gone. Including Optimus Prime and Megatron. ughI used to have transformers and the like though one thing I cherished and regret giving away were my metal toy cars.

Re: Toys/Games from the Past
This was a very cool game. Indoor shuffleboard. It sucked when they came out with the plastic version, but this was good on the wooden board.
And this game was amazing! It was a basketball version of the common hockey game you know of with the slider rods. The difference was when you got the basketball in the recessed cups in the floor, you'd spin your player 360 to shoot it and believe me.... it was something you could get real accurate. My brother and I used to have torrid games with this! It's on Ebay right now for about $200.
