Re: toys of the 70's and 80's

Have really enjoyed going through this thread. Me and my little brother used to make up all kinds of racing, jumping, smashing contests with Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars. Also did some crazy things around the neighbor hood with racing and jumping bikes. Maybe an American thing but we used to set up tons of little plastic army men and play war !

When we'd ask me mum to buy us plastic machine guns and revolvers, bows and arrows, she tell us to use a stick and your imagination. It actually help us be quite creative (probably more so then she would of like). Funnt thing when I ran into the house bleeding out my eye after my little brothers friend hit me right in the eye with a projectiled stick. It was a great shot but we all still got in trouble. Ah the simple life eh?

My sisters shared an easy bake oven, some Barbies, and had their own sticks!
