The greatest action figure ever created, and a pain to find with no paint wear. :cloud9:

I had lawn darts.

 

I have an original set of Jarts in the box with the scoring hoops and everything. My law partner's mom was throwing them out in the garbage. Same way i scored a boxed Sears version of the Atari console.

 

Those darts are tough to come by. I have wanted to buy a set for a long time, but because they are illegal to sell, it makes it a bit of a challenge. (I can buy a semi-automatic gun and bullets at the same vendor on any given weekend, but lawn darts are forbidden... Thank God my government is looking out for me.)

Jarts were EVIL!

 

 

:devil:

 

 

 

I was fooling around with jarts one day in my backyard, trying to throw them as high as I could. Well, one time I held on a little too long to the jart before releasing it and it sailed backwards over my head and came down right through the pool cover. Unknown to me at the time it lodged itself in the bottom liner of the pool.

Made for a nice surprise come spring when my dad opened up the pool. he was not happy. lol

A few years ago, I had a boxed Alien but ended up selling it when I sold off my toys. It's such a cool toy! Mine was Near mint and the box was nearly perfect. Gotta be careful with the mouth mechanism as the elastic can wear down. A lot of people lost the plastic dome on it's head too.....Great toy! Super expensive too!

Shogun Warriors :cloud9: I had the giant sized Mazinga and my cousin had Raydeen. Those toys were awesome when we were kids. I remember Stretch Armstrong and G.I. Joe with the kung fu grip lol

 

How about Stretch Monster?

 

 

hm

 

 

STRETCH MONSTER RULES!!! This is an extremely valuable toy as well!!! Even out of the box they go for a lot of money as they're not all that common! Great post!
