Quote HistoryQuoted: I still have a bunch of mine but have thought about selling or gifting them since no kids. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/145914/IMG_20180704_104813_jpg-3038498.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/145914/IMG_20180620_202525_jpg-3038497.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/145914/IMG_20180706_120814_jpg-3038511.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/145914/IMG_20180709_191019_jpg-3038512.JPG I had that dinosaur set. Different colors but the molds are identical/copied. Except for some reason mine didn’t have the mastodon. Mine was the more colorful MPC instead of Marx. Mine had more pieces but the picture is pretty representative. Probably Christmas morning ‘72 led to years of playing on the floor with them. Puppies, time, younger siblings, etc. did them in over the years. Thanks for the post. It brings back some memories.  |

I bought a Ninja Stretch Armstrong once. I made the mistake of using it as a decoration at work and set him on my monitor. This was when we still had CRTs and he crystallized and hardened.

I wanted to... best buy of all places, had a star wars toy, the Imperial Troop Transport.... it's just a star wars vehicle that carries like 8 action figures.
Back inthe day, you could only get it through the sears Christmas catalog. The new, mandalorian version was best but... cool, but not worth $100 |

Other than the traditional metal Tonka toys, plastic Army guys and Matchbox cars I really don't recall having much in the way of toys. There were a ton of books, which were passed onto my kids if they survived that long. Along with a couple of other toys that survived that long. I just don't recall a whole lot of toys, and anything I did have was passed into my younger brother and mostly didn't survive round two with him.
edit: all you guys posting pictures of old plastic toys...you all really display that stuff for people to look at as if its the family good china collection? |

I really would not mind having a scuba joe with the footlocker.
Maybe the Apollo capsule because I wanted one but never got it I got the Joe atv with the king tut sarcophagus. But reproductions would be fine. I would not pay the $$$ for the originals. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The only thing that separates the men from the boys is the price of their toys.  Picked this up a couple of months ago when I bought my wife a Shield .380 EZ. Pawn shop made us a screaming deal on both. https://i.imgur.com/QTG4oli.jpg 1989 vintage Marlin 60 in excellent shape. 22" barrel, 18 round tube, Vintage 2.5x Bushnell .22 scope made in Japan. My grandfather taught me how to shoot on one of these, so I snagged it as soon as I saw it. Walked out the door with both the Shield and the Marlin for $400. Busting clays at 100yds gets almost boring with it.I have 2 of those. First one I bought when I was a kid in 1977 (18) with the bunny stock. Shot most likely 20,000 rounds through it and it started jamming. Bought a new one in about 82 or 83. Put new parts in the original and still shoot them both. Love them. |

I don't have much in the way of my childhood left, but I have picked up a couple of the Masters of the Universe figures. Mostly some of the ones I had, and the couple I wanted really bad.
