As a few of my recent posts indicate, I'm feeling nostalgic. I've noticed a lot of bloggers get this way from time to time. There are tons of posts out there along the lines of "Do you remember...?" Even though it smacks of one of those "I Love The Seventies/Eighties/Nineties/Five Minutes Ago" shows, it's still fun and a quick and easy way to establish common ground. Besides, what's more fun than making lists? Here is a list of some toys I can remember playing with as a kid:
- Space Legos - These were the only kinds of Legos I liked.
- Lincoln Logs
- Criss Cross Crash - A figure-8 Hot Wheels racetrack that maximized collisions.
- Capsela - major league dork toy.
- Star Wars action figures and vehicles - I only had the X-Wing and Landspeeder. Thanks, Mom & Dad.
- Bristle Blocks
- Shrinky-Dinks - Those thinks you colored and put in the oven - because every kid likes to shrink things.
- Colorforms - those re-stickable things that you used to create some sort of scene. I think ours was a "Happy Days" scene. You could put Al & Ralph Malph into numerous compromising positions.
- Rocket Hockey
- Merlin
- Air Jammer Road Rammer - a car that you pumped up with a mini bike pump to make it go.
- The Fisher Price farm and village
- Weebles. I had a Weebles pirate ship.
- That foam shit that you used in the bathtub. It came in cans that looked like superheroes.
- Lite-Brite
- Whitewings paper airplanes. They were a bitch to make, but they flew like crazy.
