When I was a tot, I had the battery powered tot. When I was a teen, I had a big-boy toy - my one and only motorcycle in life:



And, I never watch this show, but I suggest watching the very first 45 seconds - it is very relative to this nostalgic thread:

p.s. I tried to find just the opening clip - I've never watched beyond that.

I was turning too old at that point to play with cards... I did pickup a few here and there... loved their names... like Snotty Selena

 

[joeyjoejoe]

this was my surrogate father when i was growing up . i suspect this for my extreme hatred for cats and my love of inner city chinese food .

 

[gioua]

still after all this time.. fun to play with!

These were awesome... except for the time the damn thing got stuck in my sisters hair.. had to cut part of her hair off...

I wanted to purchase these ORIGINAL Weebles from ebay when my daughter was born... but they were way too expensive!

this always looked like the kids went no where quick!!

 

[racerboy71]

man, i forgot all about those cars with the stick that you'd thread into them and pull and let em loose... i think everyone got them stuck in their sisters hair at one time or another..

gas powered glow plug engine.


it has a spring on the back side of the prop. you hook the spring to the prop and wide it up backwards then let it go real quick to get it to start. half the time you simply hit your fingers with it and had to wind it back up. it was connected to a handle with 2 strings about 25 feet long. once you got it started you spun around in circles using the handle to make it go up and down. hours of entertainment. i destroyed mine when i tried to do a loop.

 

[joeyjoejoe]

gas powered glow plug engine? a toy for kids.? sounds safe . flying it near some high volt wires would be the perfect spot

 

[joeyjoejoe]

we had remote control planes in my day son

 

[gioua]
