did you have he-man figures? i used to enjoy pulling their legs out of their sockets to reveal their inner elastic


again, once i get to heaven, i'm going to ask god how many hours i spent chewing he-man's head

Yeah i loved the he-man stuff although i was disappointed with the quality of his sword

how long did it take for your ram-man to break? :rolleyes:

yeah his sword was kind of bent by default if i remember. plus he came with these straps that went round his torso, lost within a week for every child in the land, i'll wager


back before my main childhood started, my parents were loaded and i had castle greyskull

my rich friend had skeletors cat, it was all lush and velvety, unlike my rigid, unmove-able battle cat :rolleyes:

I actually swapped my buzz off for ram man with my mate...but he wanted to swap back..and sent his mum around to demand ram man back
So in total i only had ram man for one day.....but tis a day i will always cherish.

That was the one rule of swapping you should never break..bringing a parent into it:rolleyes:

That lego toy I posted above.

I remember haveing the whole of what's in the first pic but only the rocket from the second pic. :hmmm:

Lego was awesome. I had tons of it - all donated to a children's hospice many years ago. I lusted after this:



alas, it was too expensive.

Loved Meccano too. I once made a fantastic crossbow that fired darts. Happy days.

Both products are now a pale reflection of their glory days.

[tituscrow]

I had the Galaxy Explorer, Xmas gift, it was brilliant.

I loved technic too, I remember the big yellow dozer, brilliant.

I still have most of mine in various boxes.

[Munkeh]

I think some of my old Pirate Lego is still sitting in my parents attic, that stuff was amazing!

[T]

God i loved lego wish i still had it... spent many hours playing it.... my mum sold it all in a car boot sale was gutted coz i had tons of the stuff...

[MrPSB]

Had all sorts of different random lego things as a kid, the two I remember vividly are



and most of all:



Pull em apart, try the other model. put em back together.

I also vaguely remember the heli rotors being motorised, but I could have nicked the motor bits from a different kit and done that myself.

[Kevin Hodge]

just thinking back to them lego days...we were provided with boxes like this to keep our lego in -





...and so, no WONDER all the wee bits got lost! MUUUuuUUUM! :rolleyes:



also, batteries and all sorts ended up chucked in there, and they eventually leaked, so latter attempts at lego play involved sticky, bitter fingers. on reflection, non-neglectful parents would have perhaps washed the lego in a solution of alka seltzer or something. but NoooOOOoooo :rolleyes:

[Munkeh]

Booo space Lego!

It was all about Pirate Lego!

[Diluted]

The last two i believe are the first models I got. I sold all of my Lego to buy a bike

Because of this thread my gf and I found ourselves downstairs in Hamleys today, playing with the Lego they put out.

They have a six-foot Buzz Lightyear made of the stuff and a black piece under his nose would have made him a perfect Hitler 'tache. We were both sorely tempted but we were too cowardly.

I regret not doing it now.
