I'll show a comic ad for an old toy.  First person to show an image and states ownership wins.

Doesn't have to be boxed or Mint on Card but should be 99% complete.

Honor code, people.

Start off easy.  Any of the Evel Knievel sets

I think I was the only kid in my neighborhood not to own the stunt cycle set...and it was my fault. Like every kid back then, the Evel Knievel toy was at the top of my Xmas list and when I was taken to see Santa (I was probably seven?) I made sure to let him know it was what I wanted more than anything. But when my mom got me home and asked me what I wanted for Xmas I told her something completely different. I figured I didn't need to tell her about the stunt cycle set - I'd already told Santa. Heck, I didn't need two of them...

Great Christmastime thread!

I don't think I ever owned any of the complete sets, but I do still have my OO EK "bendy" figure from that same era...not complete, and a little the worse for wear, but he's the real deal!

I wanted that so bad. Never got mess

I had this as a kid (never had any of the EK toys but my friends did which was enough for me)

e tried for hours on end to get the cars to hit each other mid-air like the commercial. Don't think we ever made it happen.

I remember those ads on the back of my comics and thinking the new Lego was getting waaaay too complicated. I hadn't seen nothing yet. Ever try putting together a Bionicle? When I was a kid, this was about as complicated as you could get...
