Anybody remember those, got to be fairly old.

Oh God yes, I used to have that.

Lets see what I can pull from my memory :


Stretch Armstrong
Evil Kenevil w/motorcycle(wind-up motor)
Stompers
Silly puddy and slime
Merlin
Intelevision
Mighty-mo's
G.I. Joe

Just to name a few. This should be a thread of it's own.

MWolfe, as soon as you dig through your stuff, be sure to share your findings with us. Sounds like it will be a stroll down Memory Lane. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I always love going into the attic. Big old house with a huge attic. Mom alway boxed up stuff up and put it up there and it's packed from end to end, 4 kids.
Going though the boxes just brings back so many childhood memories. We keep saying we're gonna empty it and have a big yardsale, but we all back out, but Mom is gonna have to move soon due to her age.

Did find my book series "Alfred Hitchcock and the three investigators." Have them all and still in excellent shape. Started collecting those in the 5 grade.

I remember all of those. Old stretch..you could really pull him a long way.Found my 6 million dollar man, but missing an arm. Action Jackon and a bunch of Hot Wheels. I bet there are a 100 box games up there.

It's stange how your brain works. You can see something from years ago and it all comes back so clear. Without seeing it, would've never crossed my mind..............time really does pass.

You just hit the nail on the head with that one. When someone asks me "Why don't you just throw that stuff away ?", my answer is in your comment above.

Oh yea, and all the Yo Yo's. Maybe it was mid 70's, but at one time they were the thing. Had all those commercials on TV. It was something every guy had to do well to impress the girls.

Most of the strings are gone, but got a box full. They might be worth something to someone.
I wonder if the glow in the dark one still works..

And all those eitht tracks.....

Karl Malden

Didn't realize he was still around. Believed he played Bradly in the movie Patton.

[nohunt1]

You're right...He was Bradley....

I think we all could use a few more Bradleys and Pattons right about now....

British actress Mollie Sugden, best known as Mrs. Slocombe on "Are You Being Served?", died today after a lengthy illness, age 86.

Believed he played Bradly in the movie Patton.

Yeah, he must have because I was just asking myself that very question. I know I've seen him in other movies too but, can't bear it to mind at the moment.
