What toys did you have as a kid that you wish you still had?

[FullBLOWN]

My set of action figure Water Pistol, I used to have Superman, Robin, Popeye and Batman, same as this one.

3. Maskatron Figure (From Six Million Dollar Man)

 

4. My Karate Guy who's arm you could ratchet back and he would do a chop.

 

5. GI Joe with Kung Fu Grip

 

 

[mackenzie999]

And while not a toy, all my wacky packs.

 

 

There's a pretty cool book on Wacky Packs on Amazon for about $15.

I never got much as a kid, but I remember always wanting Storm Shadow from the 3/34" GI Joe (ARAH) series. Well, I finally get one, and a week later this little piece of chit in my class named Jason snatches it from my hands and throws it up onto the roof of the school. I start climbing the chain link fence right next to the building and attempt to jump over to the top window cill, and right before what would have inevitably been my death, I hear my teacher barking and decide to climb back down. My mother gets called, I get a 2-day suspension, and my mother, in what I assume was her way of teaching me irony, beats me with her shoe for putting myself in a situation where I might get hurt. Good times.

 

Well, I now own 3 "minty" Storm Shadows, which aren't easy to find in such nice condition, yet the nightmares of that traumatic afternoon won't go away.

Yes, the Navarone set is amazing. Best present I ever got and I still have mine. Don't think my box was that pink though.

 

The toy I wish I still had would be the ones that were destroyed, not sold. So for me that's probably my Mego Batman and Aquaman. I think only Batman's head remains, w/cowl.

 

I want one of these again.........BAD!

[slym2none]

I had the original X-Wing Falcon and my brother had the Millennium Falcon.

 

I still have my old Evel Knievel motorcycle with the zip-cord, just no Evel.....

5. GI Joe with Kung Fu Grip

 

Everybody was Kung Fu fighting ............ in those days

[slym2none]

Man! Those cats were fast as lightning!

i absolutely loved the alien figure from the 1st movie, creepiest toy ever!. i loved the aurora model kits and the sst cars too

[Arcade]

Coleco/Cadaco table sports games. You can still find these games on E-Bay

 

Bas-Ket

 

Still have my Bas-Ket game in my parents closet. My brother and I played the heck out of that thing and it looks like it. What a great game that was.

 

We also used to go through a lot of Virty-Bird helicopters as kids.

We would have two of them going at once next to each other, and crash them together so the propellers would fly off. Not the safest thing to do, but a ton of fun.

 

[CDaBruce]

Star Wars was definitely the toys of choice for me as a kid.

However the toys I wish I still had were all of my Shogun Warriors (had at least 8 of them) and the Micronauts.

1970s toys...

Nice figure! Hard to find those that havn't yellowed somehow or don't have a broken bow. You have the proper bow to which is hard to get with the thin bow string. People are alway pawning off funschool or not the original weapons with these guys.

None really - I still had most of my old toys boxed up, and I found I had absolutely no attachment to any of them as an adult. Been there, done that, and moved on.

 

I've said this before, but I truly believe that if my parents had never left those two stacks of comics at the campgrounds, that I doubt I'd be a collector today.

[Silver Surfer]

I had steel Tonka trucks in the 1970's, man were those things awesome.

[TeddieMercede]

I had some diecast metal Voltron set from Japan which I thought was the greatest. Think it was really expensive at the time also.

Did they leave you behind as well, used the comics as bait as they burned out in the station wagon? Ah I only kidde.
