Not seen that before and some great memories in there. Good to see Big Trak in the top ten and I have very fond memories of the Evel Kenivel stunt bike

 

[Turamber]

A walk down memory lane Had quite a few of the things in that list, though my favourite probably was my Death Star set ... the working trash compactor was a joy to behold. I used to go everywhere with my Han Solo figure, words can not encompass my grief at losing him during Empire Strikes Back

 

[Jupitus]

*chokes back tears*

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Weebles \o/

 

[Brynn]

Crossfire fucking pwns

 

[Deacan]

Spud Guns, mwahaha many fond memories.

 

[Frizz]

Spirograph was legendary!

Tbh Subbuteo should have been #1 though.

 

[GDW]

Class!

I still have some of those. - a Chopper, Colditz and Crossfire.

 

[Tom]

heh, I had number 91, it was ace The contacts were little springs that you shoved bare ended wire into.

My sister had a vertibird (no 64), Spirograph, I had Evil Knievel, Airfix model helicopter, a computer, and a bike (Grifter)!

I had a bunch of those games, and rather oddly, my daughters now have new versions of the same thing but with different names

Ultaviolet was the colour

others were;...Fizzylemon( the one I have), Infrared, and Quicksilver

 

[rynnor]

I had 91 and others like it and found by randomly connecting bits you could use a relay to create interference for terrestial TV - always good if somebody else was hoggin the tv...

 

[Ch3tan]

Oh dear, I have way too many of the toys there.

 

[Custodian]

Yep.. had most of them, and still got some either here or at parents house, including me D&D dice. I'm sure my Flight Deck plane was blue/grey though, not yellow.

They are making a chopper bike again, but it don't have the gearstick in the right place!

Battling Tops now known as Beyblade of course.
