...Dan Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 No one's mentioned Pogs yet. I have no idea what the object of the game was anymore, I just know that I had a fuck load of the things and kept them in these green tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarzanontoast Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I had a BRIO wooden train set, and now that my young niece and nephew are of a particular age, it comes out of the attic every time they come round to visit. Hours of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you supposed to throw down a ‘slammer’ (or ‘Keeni’ [sp?]) onto the pogs, and if you flipped any of them over, you got to keep those pogs? My Primary school banned pogs, since it was seen as a form of gambling, especially after one kid complained that he lost all his pogs to another kid one lunch time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best friend from school had a trampoline too and I'd go round there more often than not just to have an excuse to go on that, for some reason it was really fun to just spend hours and hours bouncing up and down (no homo). Probably the best toy from my childhood (if we're talking about when you were really little) was my toy car. I was mad on cars when I was a toddler and my Dad bought me a life-size one for me to hop into. It didn't come with the spacker-mong seeIn in the photo but I did spend a good number of hours with it. Other than that I can't really think of anything that I had, I was more into video games and playing football in the garden than toys really.

I had an electric one like this One day it stopped working and i tried to fix it with my cousin, i was like 5. Not only we did not fix it, we left it unusable as it was bound to happen.

To win as much pogs as possible, of course! At the start, you build a stack up of pogs face-down and then everyone takes their turn throwing the slammer on top of the stack, and you get to keep all the pieces that land face up!

Also had a collection of Pokemon cards with a couple mates in school, and used to play with Yugioh's cards too. One of the things i liked the most was a sword and shield set from Saint Seiya that my dad gifted me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually used metal parts for the most part, and you could build actual working mechanical models! I wonder if they make construction toys like that today? Also, Fleischmann train sets were amazing. I think I would play with it today if I had it still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berserker Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Oh scaletrix were fun as fuck, i had one and loved played it on birthdays. It made me angry when my car fell off the track though. Table football and arcade machines were great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted May 25, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted May 25, 2021 Old post but any more childhood toys from the past? I remember getting a tin firetruck with a ladder and a fireman you would wind up, put him on the ladder and see him climb up, this was around 1955 ods, then chewing gum with cards either Flags of the World or English football teams.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted May 25, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted May 25, 2021 @nudge, this would be your cup of tea, we found these buried in a box, they are dolls we bought for our daughter when she was around 4 years old, that's coming up to 40 years ago and they are still in good nick.

Devil Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Went through a period of collecting these little fellas, Battle Beasts. They had a little heat pad of their chest that had a wind, water or a log logo. Obviously whatever logo they had was the army they were from.
