Man, this takes me WAYYYY back. I had a bunch of these in the 70's and the 80's and loved them.

I could barely make squares. This is a masterpiece!

These are still around, bought one for my son a couple of years ago.

Best things ever!! I used to bounce them over my house!

i loved it so much!

I still have my bakelite one from the 50's/60's

I once had a Gameboy where I could play Pokemon. I was addicted so my parents seized it. Never saw my dear boy again.

And the Portland Stag! (Missing the red nose for its winter set up.)

I was so jealous of one of my friends, she had like every polly pocket set. I was super excited when I got one for Chrissie one year. I remember it was a shopping centre type theme with a moving elevator.

I loved this toy

I wanted one when I was a kid but they were too expensive for us. Now I can have it as an app and somehow I can't see the appeal anymore

I was so excited when I got a pack of these, trouble is that after a lil while you get bored of them so you start using them like normal textas lol.

I remember when we used to get tazos in chip packets. My aunty had 3 albums full of them.

I could never get them to go down stairs like they show on videos etc. The most I could do was get them tangled lol.

My hair would always get stuck in these

Ugly little things they are lol.

Pfft! Now, a Big Wheel, that's driving'!

I had one, until I decided to cut him to see what was inside. Weird goo. Band-Aid din't work on the repair.

Never understood how to actually play the game but did have a lot of fun just building it!

I loved mine! What happened to that thing???

I had this! And nobody to play with.

Oh god, I remember these monstrosities. What exactly were you supposed to do with them?

I used to spend hours on this and my mum was always amazed at my memory skills. 40 years later and I can barely remember what I did yesterday

These were a fairly regular Saturday treat for me. I must've spent so much pocket money on them!

Found some improved larger ones. Great fun, super durable and easily fixable with super glue when you do break a wing. Unfortunately I don't know how other people manage to paste a picture. Haven't succeeded yet.

These were so great. And affordable too. I had a twin bodied lightning which I adored until I broke it.

My brothers got quite a few of these over the years.

This thing flew maybe 2 ft lol

I had loads of these because they were easy to shoplift.

Balsa wood ones were way better!

We had these made from balsa wood.

we got them off the ice cream man that drove by in the neighborhood

Oh ... yeah, they were cool! Hadn't thought of them in 20 years or more... Which store? Which country?

I preferred the balsa wood ones to the compressed styrofoam ones

That’s so sweet.

There was another kind before these--two larger, very hard acrylic (?) balls on strings. You started by bouncing them against one another and worked up to having them collide at both the top and bottom of the pattern. You could knock yourself out with those, and when they broke, shards flew everywhere. These were tame by comparison!

The anticipation of waiting for them to go off.

The old handy trainer

death to all ankles!

Ahh...this game stressed me OUT. Didn't stop me from obsessively playing with it though.

The original photo-copier

I hated those! They never really « rolled ». I just awkwardly walked in them.

I want one!

Oh I loved these. Way cooler then what you can get now in my opinion

I still have one and I love it and am keeping it forever. I have a tiny butterfly too ♥.

i need one

There are still versions of this

Anything with play doh was so much fun!!

These little collectible figurines were awesome! I had so many. Even on this picture I remember the ones I had.

Our very own slide show. These were great, especially when you could buy different viewer discs.

And when the super soakers that could hold more water and be worn as a backpack came out it was ON in my neighborhood during water fights

Woa.. wish i had one
