Toys we use to play when we were a kid

Used to love it. Can't find a decent pic of it tho.

Memories! Sweet, sweet memories!

Anyone else have a Lights Alive thingy? You've have a little stick and push it into lots of holes to reveal the lights or something.

I think so, you used to have to slide the front up to the top to erase all the lights again?

Oooh. I had one too. I broke the turning handle on the side that made the lift go up and down. It used to hurt my fingers making it work, but I loved it.

Bloody nora I had one of them, they were brilliant, I always used to stick toy cars that were too big for the lift in the lift, provided me with hours of fun whilst I was younger.

I used to love Lego aswell but I think I have it in the loft somewhere, so I might dig it out at sometime, but I used to have the Lego train thing that was brilliant, it had its own train that could be changed, it also had a motor built with it so it could move thanks to a switch and it was top, I even had a Lego town at one point, I even had the little Railway crossing thing aswell. Though it pissed off my folks as we kept Toys R Us going, it does have a Lego aisle, but I haven't been in for years!

I used to have Brio, that was brilliant, again it had loads of additional stuff with it like, the old 'Intercity' train and carriages and loads of bridges that lifted up, it was real fun, can't remember if I threw it away or if I still have it.

Also if you download the Toys R Us Christmas advert from TV Ark, I also had the Auto City electronic garage that we got from Argos, it gave you a toy car that went down the slip road really fast, it also had a mini BP station in it, but it broke quickly and I threw it away years ago.

I also have a Sega Mega Drive II that I did try to hook up but I had no RF Cable for it, I either lost it or threw it away! I knew someone who had an original Sega Mega Drive, my cousin also had a Sega Master System, whenever there was no cartridge inserted we always used to play a crap game called 'Alex the Kid'

I loved lego but didn't get enough of it.

We were a well-off family you could say, but 'value' was drummed into us so much that even *I* knew that lego kits were expensive. The best I got was the police motorcycle or something equally tiny.

My friend Iain, however, had HUGE gallon ice-cream tubs (washed out, obvously) full of bricks, sorted into colour. It was fabulous. I would have spent more time playing with it but his house smelled of boiled potatoes.

Found a better pic. I always found parking downstairs a problem

Ah memories. I think that's in the loft with the Ghostbusters House, no slime with the ghostbusters house as me brother left it dripping through the roof & it went hard!

[Pete]

I never had the cars with mine, I think every single one they ever made had a snapped handle. I've never came across one with it intact.

When I was younger, I had one of these babies...



It was a Fisher Price Record Player. You would wind it up as indicated with the yellow dial and then you would play one of the five records included. They were all nursery rhymes with one per side.

The records themselves were best described as round (obviously) but with little bumps in random places. Never knew why they had them. The sound it made was whiny, almost like a poorman's Ice Cream van but nostaglia eh!

[fusionlad]

Me too. I still use it the bathroom. It's safer than an electric radio.

Wicked - I had one of them too! Although, like Peter I had no cars with it, just used to use dinkey models...
