I was a 60s and 70s kid, so can't help you here. There are a few 80s kids here who post on a regular basis, hope they can help you out.

If you can tell us where you lived when you had these toys and in which years you received them, it would be easier to help you find them.

The only thing I couldn't find was the Ghouls and Tombstones Board Game.  :)

I remember all of these from when I worked at Toys R Us....sadly I don't have any in my collection or I'd gladly sell em to you.

I have 2 of those Mad Scientist kits if you're interested!  I got that for my 10th birthday and I never forgot it.  I found both of them at yard sales, a few years apart.  The slimey stuff inside is most certainly dried up and reduced to powder, at this point, because it actually comes out of the package.  But, it's never been opened. 

I also have Tubtown, in the original box, but it's not complete... and I don't think I'd want to sell it.

So funny, and awesome, how you are searching for toys that I loved and once searched for, and that seem relatively unknown to most people.

I never had any Sectaurs, but as a kid always wanted the Sectaur Spider-Flyer. It was so cool you could make it legs crawl and grab other figures (He-man would have trouble with that thing I think) I have quite a few boxed 80's toys. None on this list though.

No I never had Sectaurs either.  And their cartoon had some of the best storylines.  :(
