Yeah this thread has almost made me want to raid my parents' attic for my old stuff. Looking back it's kinda boggles the mind when I try to think of how much money my parents must have spent on lego for every christmas and birthday for like 8 years.

Back in the 80's Legos were a lot cheaper though. I remember being able to save my allowance for a couple weeks and be able to buy one of the kits and some candy. Now for even the garbage little kits you have to drop like $40 and everything is licensed and I don't think the kids are even using them the right way anymore and...old man grumble:argh:

So many dinosaur toys but you're all forgetting the best ones:



Playskool Dinosaurs motherfuckers! They came with cavemen to ride them and little story books. I loved getting them for birthdays and Xmas as a kid.

VISIONARIES!

Taught me that bad guys always have beards. A lesson that holds true through today.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers 80s cartoon theme songs.

M m m Mask!

Mask was awesome and I dropped the green motorcycle guy into my pool and it got all rusted. Wish I still had those toys to give to my nephew.

My mother let me and my bro watch gruesome 80's adult movies growing up so we were all over stuff like RoboCop, Aliens, Terminator, that kinda thing. Back then these R-rated movies had toy lines for children for some inexplicable reason. Anyway, I got this for like my 6th birthday I think:



I was so psyched until I ran outside wearing it and fell over scraping the poo poo out of it about 20 minutes after I got it. :(

Also this thing was my pride and joy:



They had toys because parents got to decide if their kids could watch R movies back then. Sort of like today. Deadpool has toys I think.
