old toys

[smonkbmw]

i still have a few of mine. some transformers, gi joes, gobots. i keep em at my moms house. i had the cards for them somewhere, but i think over the years they have been misplaced.

ha, i to remember the red plastic film so you could read the backs. i remember going to toys r us a few years back with my little brother. i was looking at the toys and thinking "what kind of shit is this?" toys are no where near the same as they used to be. i did however find it humorous to see that they are re-releasing some of the transformers, because of the movie. i wonder, they just made a transformer movie, could GI Joe be far behind???

My garage is full of star wars toys with the orignal boxes. they are opened and were played with but now they just sit in the box.

Same for comic books all kinds of old ones just sitting in boxes, but if you took one my uncle would know and shit a brick.

Yeah, Toys Я Us is dissapointing these days. When I was a kid, I enjoyed going through the store as if it was a museum. Even if we didn't get anything, it was well worth the trip in seeing the newest stuff on the market. They used to have an entire aisle dedicated to slot car race tracks and model trains. Now they have only 2 train sets and some small "figure 8" pattern slot car set that is made in china.

I mean the store was set up in such a way where every aisle was dedicated to a particular theme or type of toy. Now everything is lumped together like its some sort of boutique.

I think many of us who either grew up as children in the 70's or at least caught the tail end of that decade would have to agree that the Evil Knievel stunt cycle was the best toy of all time.

ha, a few of my friends had those. i used to have way cheaper knock off versions of em. the ones with the plastic gears and plastic rip cord that the teeth would disintegrate off both.

i have a few cases of comics still. transformers, gijoe, thundercats, and some he-man i think.

I gotta say I was a lot more into my Green Machine than any other toy I had - then again I didn't have that Evil Kinevil, so I'm kind of a jealous hater.


Vdubin - I'd have to get them from my parents' place - still in storage there, but none for sale except maybe a few stray extra Constructicons - I seem to remember I had a few more than the 5-6 it took to make Devastator. I really don't ever want to sell outright, I might try to expand my collection actually. I've wanted a Megatron since I was a kid, never had one. Starscream & Shockwave too. I sound like I'm 11 - haha.

Wow, those look just about new! Amazing how well you kept up with everything. Remember me when it comes time to sell them. Id pay market for them.

Thanks

Not interested in cash, but if you have any of the AutoArt or other 1:18 scale E30 M3's I'd trade possibly, but I really plan to hang on to all my Transformers, even add if I can afford to. I really want a Megatron, but who doesn't?

Yeah, I'm a little O-C, been that way all my life. All my buddies love it when I decide to sell anything I own.

I love it how back in the day no one cared if toys came with teeny tiny parts that could easily become lodged in a kids throat. Those were the good old days.
