as well as VC Andrews books, rubixcube, neon colors

Rubiks Magic flippy puzzles (made with glass panes and fishing line).  On a table I could solve the small one in 6 seconds, and the large one in either 12 or 20 seconds, dont remember which.  I also had a Rubiks cube but didnt figure out how to solve it till like 94 or so.

Legos were my favorite thing to build with.  I didnt get into Legoland but I created things out of the Expert Builder / Technic sets.  I tried Construx and some other systems but nothing beats Legos.

I also coudlnt live without my Recording Walkman, but that was July 1989 and later.  I made a tape that I still have called The Summer Of 89.

I had a Speak & Math, seemed like I was the only one.  1st grade had a Speak & Read in their stash.  Seems everyone else had a Speak & Spell.  Have to say the Speak & Spell was my favorite of the three.

Oh I forgot about Speak and spell..I had one.

I also made tons of tapes...I would record them off the radio over and over..even if I already had the song I would do it again.  Plus me and my friends would record ourselves talking!

The 80s were when I started to receive, Johnson and Smith catalogues.  Tons of weird useless crap.  I could peruse the catalogue for hours.
God lyk!

Oh I forgot about Speak and spell..I had one.

That reminds me of ET...I had one of those too. Good times! :)

Atari 2600 Console along with Ms. Pac-Man,Defender,Pac-Man,Space Invaders,and Tank-Pong!
my first personal stereo(a Soundesign cassette player/AM-FM radio,cost around $70)
Matchbox "Bigfoot" monster truck...I was into monster-truck shows back then!

I remember when I used to have a tape recorder and I'd bring it outside on special holidays like July 4th and I'd tape record the sounds and my commentating on my show.Those were good times. :)

Battle Beasts!  Remember them?  "Fire!  Fire burn Wood!"  "Water!  Water put out Fire!"  "Wood!  Wood beat Water!"

I really did try to collect the entire line, but i think I only got 70--80 out the 100+ figures.  I also had the animal-head vehicles and the playsets that were shaped like critters.  The best one was the Phoenix Fire Base.  I never did get the Sunburst Warrior, though.

Then, when I needed money a few years back, I sold the whole shebang all on Ebay.  :\'(

I used to get a kick out of putting profanities in the Speak and Spell and having it curse at me!


I had rubiks cube, missing link, Simon, the original Walkman, i liked Atari, Pacman, VC Andrews books, SPIN magazine and Hubba Bubba gum.

There were these tiny muscleman figures made by Mattel,I forgot what they were called....for a while you could get them as freebies in Nestle Quik boxes...

Me too.  That reminds me of one thing that I wish my mom wouldnt have given away.  My Sweet Pickles books.  I had the whole A-Z collection, plus about 3 of the collaboration books.  She gave them to the school library so I know they got trashed.

I had my Masters of the Universe figures.  I had so much fun playing with those.  The best was Thunder Punch He-Man.  You'd put caps in his backpack, then snap it closed.  then when you turned his body to make him punch, "*POW*" 8)

I also had Super Powers action figures, and some of those old rubber LJN WWF Wrestlers by Titan.  I even had the plastic wrestling ring so they could wrestle in, but one too many pile drivers cracked a whole through the bottom of it ;D

I vaguely remember that, also I remember Domino Rally, many varieties of action figures, legos, Brio train sets, remote controlled race cars, a Socrates console and classic board games such as Sorry!, Monopoly and mini records.

OMG...my husband and I LOVE those books! Even to this day, when we go on a trip...we always stop and get a few of them at rest stops! :)

Sputnickcorp apparently speaks for me too, although I'll toss in Transformers as an addition (I also played 2nd ed AD&D in addition to 1st).

GI Joe and Star Wars were everywhere at my house! Other than that it was basically any action figure line... He-man, Thundercats, M.A.S.K. Also liked quirky things like Asterix and the Smurfs.
