I had a very large collection of the Matchbox models of yesteryears. I have no idea what I did with them.

Quoted:
For me, my Fox Body Mustang. Yeah it needed a lot of work and I was going off to College but dammit. Also some gaming consoles and particular games that you either just cannot find anymore or are outrageously priced, and lastly my .22 Rifle from when I was 12. I to this day have no idea what happened to it. I suspect my mom gave it to one of my uncles but have no proof :( Anyways, how about Arfcom? What did you all have as a youngling that you really wish you had held on to? Also my RC10. |

When I was a kid we had a figure 8 race car set that was on a pre molded scenic base. The cool thing was that it also had an oval HO scale train track. So, you got to race the other guy around the figure 8 and also beat the train where it crossed the race track. It taught many life lessons, like driving fast and trying to beat trains. If that were for sale today there would be an uproar.

Grew up in the 1960's. Had a large collection of trading cards, mostly baseball. Probably got sold in one on Mom's garage sales.
Oh, and recently threw out a box of Playboy magazines when the basement got wet.

My GI Joe action figures. When I got old enough to get my first BB/pellet gun, the small army of Joes and Cobras succumbed to sniper fire from my parent's second story deck. Many of their vehicles were destroyed in firecracker IED attacks.

It was an original body car, but I didn't have the original 302. Damn I miss that car. Was my 16th Birthday present from my dad. |

I had two small model rifles one was an M4 with a M203 and the other was an M60, they were about 10" long and fired single caps, they had display stands and looked real except for their size. I wish I still had them.

There are lots of things (especially toys) that I wish I still had from my childhood, just so I can pass them on to my kids. I also wish I still had my high school letterman's jacket and my dad's USGI jacket that I wore all of the time to school.

I honestly can't think of anything I'd really want back. I've kept all the childhood things that have sentimental value.
I bought/sold/modified several cars from my teens into my mid twenties, but they were all sold for a reason. I don't want any of them back. Not currently anyways. |

Two things.
A Hahn mfg Co2 B.B. Revolver my dads friend gave me he got for Christmas when he was a kid. He didn't have a son to give it to and I was the closest thing. Second my 67 Thunderbird. Last year for the suicide doors, 428 Super Cobra Jet and Corvette wipers, first year for a bunch of stuff like power everything. It was in great shape with no rust and few dents, but my dad wanted me to sell the "bucket of bolts" so I sold it for a hundred bucks. |

I can't think of a damn thing I regret getting rid of, but there are a few things I wish I hadn't lost, like the "Johnny West" cowboy action figure set that contained every piece available for sale.
Burnt up when our house caught fire in '73. By that time, the set was in a box in the attic.

Still have the toolbox city, aircraft carrier, oil can, distribhtor cap, various standalone playsets and structures, and even the Micro Machines train set. He had them all set out in his room and connected together last week. It was awesome. Every morning after breakfast he ran off to his room and played with them for hours. |

My Dad's only gun was a cheap Sears tube-fed .22 rifle. He barely touched it. Wasn't a gun guy. He bought it during the Detroit riots. Why a .22 I have no idea. People did weird things during the riot. My buddy's Dad bought a .458 Win Mag bolt gun the same time. I have no idea WTF he planned to do with it. Don't think it's ever been fired.
Anyway, my father died when I was 11. Gun sat on a shelf, promised to me when I was an adult. I got very drunk at a party at my house when I was 18 and a "friend" took it for "safekeeping". Still has it. I didn't know where it was for a couple of years and at that point I was in the Navy and had no way of finding him, and wasn't sure I wanted it when it had been out of my hands for so long. Other thing is that my brother and I had almost all of the GI Joe miniature stuff. Dozens of figures and all the cars, tanks, planes, the base, pretty much all of it. We set it up on shelves in my brother's room and either shot it all with BB guns or blew it up with firecrackers, inside the house. My mother worked a lot. |

I can't really think of anything. You can pretty much rebuy anything on Ebay so the only things worth holding on to are things which are uniquely sentimental.
Any toy I've ever owned is still out there and if I wanted a mint condition version of my high school truck rebuilt or otherwise I bet I could find one for a price. The stuff you can't replace are things like photos and videos so I keep those very well backed up. |
