Can people stop saying "Legos".....its Lego like sheep the plural is the same as the singular :twak: :)
Not everyone has our superb command of english, dear boy :D

Danish, surely?  ;)


I had lots of Lego too.  I even went to Legoland in Denmark as a child.   :D

Well it was good enough when I was eight.  I'm not sure how it would stack up now.

I still have my GI Joe from 1964 that my uncle gave me(I was 4 years old), still in the foot locker and with the accessories.

I also still have my WHAM-O Monster Magnet from around 1964 as well:


I can still remember the T.V ad for this, where a young boy is pulling his parents car. Now, I tried pulling my parents car too, no dice. So much for truth in advertising. LOL!

Naw, in each fist there was a small kitchen cabinet type magnet. You can kind of make them out in the picture. They weren't very big and they weren't very powerful at all.

It was Lego for me as well.  Now my boys are carrying on the traidtion :)

Have you seen the Sluban knock-off lego?  I picked up the Riot Police Command Car from a car boot sale last year.  Just made me laugh :D

  Not my pic.

I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

Actually, the plural would be Lego blocks. "Lego" is just the brand name, not the toy... But who's keeping track anyway. :P

I always wanted one :(

A friend of mine had one.  TBH after a few goes it really wasn't worth it.  At least that's what I kept telling myself. :cry:  ;)

Hot Wheels, yah, with the supercharger and the loop-de-loop track set up! :tu: Man would we ever go through the D cell batteries. :D Change the rubber band gearing inside and you've got a hot-wheel-car-launching bazooka, great for terrorizing dogs and evil sisters! >:D  Ahh, those were the days. :)




Anybody have a rock'em sock'em robot set? It was on our Christmas lists for the entire 1970's decade but we never got one. :(

Wow.  Are you sure you're not one of my brothers?  That's like my history.  Don't forget the single and double Rod Runners (rubber band power, not battery operated) AND Sizzlers with their Fat Track. 

Heck, we musta had a quarter mile of orange track and curves.

Damn! Those were some good times.... :cheers:
