joe_collector Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 One of my all-time favorites -- it came out just shortly before I discovered girls and Rock-and-Roll (which both enriched--and ruined--my life): They sell those at Target now (or did). My wife got me one 2 years ago for Christmas. Oh, and it's still AWESOME! (thumbs u Sorry guys, but Electronic Quarterback kicked that sorry game's azz to Canton and back.

Arcade Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) Here is another great toy from my childhood. The Vertibird!!! At one time my brother and I each had one and set them up close together. This made for a great battle mode to see who could knock off the others propeller.

DiceX Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 few more from my hoard of toyz. Oh my God I've been looking for that Green Ghost game forever! That's funny. I bought a collection of everything (comics, cards, movie posters, games, action figures, etc) five years ago that had one. It was actually still sealed...sold it for maybe $150 or so. Mine is still at granddad's house. I should probably ask if he still has it. Mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jools&jim Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I had one of these, but lost the chopper behind the fridge one day in 1975 or so...and never saw it again. I suspect it was because my mom was tired of chasing it around. They were fast little suckers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flee-Marquette Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 That thing is cool. I have never seen that one. Am I too old at 39 to run around the backyard with one??? I still have one with the original box. I remember being in Utah at a K-mart in the sixties and seeing my father standing in line with one right before Christmas. That was when I learned the truth about Santa Claus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jools&jim Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I bought this one with Christmas money from my grandparents in '76 (). Pretty primitive by today's standards, but I remember my friends and I having a lot of laughs with it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman_fan Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Some of my favorites These came out when I was real young. I only got the single figure, never one of the big sets... Loved Major Matt Mason, great fun to play with. Zeriods also came out when I was young. My parents bought me and each of my brother one for Christmas so we had the set of three. My favorite toy these days is this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jools&jim Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I'm pretty sure I inherited what was left of this set as a hand-me-down from one of my older cousins in the mid-'70s. Wish I still had it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ares Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Although I owned most/all of the first round of Micronauts toys, who could ever forget... Pulsar, The Ultimate Man of Adventure!!
