There had to have been about 1000 feet of maze crammed...

  2. Metal Pin Ball Pinball Plastic Maze Game?

    Hi all, I am trying to search for a obstacle maze board game. It was around the mid to late 80's, at primary school, there were a couple of kids that had this board game and they brought it to school once and I can remember they were the most popular kids in school. Everyone wanted a shot,...

  4. My favorite toy as a kid....

    was The Woodsies, they were little puppets, you put your thumb and first finger in their sleeves to move their arms and you could squeeze them to make them squeek, there was mama and papa and little milkweed (I believe that was his name) they lived in a log (made of cloth) and it had a small...

  5. Light Gun Toy

    Ok, here's a tester for you. This would have been in the late 70's or early 80's I'd say. It was an owl shaped game, where you aimed the light gun at the centre of the owl, and when you hit the sensor it would all light up and a roulette type wheel with numbers on would spin around, I also think...

  7. Original TOMY Sylvanian Families

    I am a huge Sylvanian Families fan...I started collecting in 1987, and then my collecting dwindled after I moved to Canada, when I could only buy them on m trips back to the UK, but last September I started collecting again. I know that Sylvanians are still being made, but it's the Original TOMY...

  9. Chip Away

    Does anybody remember Chip Away? It looked like a block of plaster (I think there were four in a set??) and when you "chipped away" with a little hammer and chisel, there was a figure inside, which you then painted. I think I had a Flintstones set...

  10. Best toy you NEVER had

    What toy did you feel cheated/deprived/life ruined forever by not receiving it? I still feel aggrieved that I never got Mr Frosty, Mousetrap or one of those little Cadbury chocolate machines you put 2ps in! I also remember hating my cousin with a passion cause she had a Girls World and I didn't:mad:

  11. Some sort of file system?

    Not sure its really a toy, but i suppose it kind of is. I'm thinkin of this thing, it was like an A5 folder, i had a premiership one, and my sister had a normal one, where you got a basic set, then you could buy additional things to put in them, like crosswords and optical illusions etc. I had...

  12. Unhappy Small plastic model kits of cars

    Here's a very specific one for you all - late 70s early 80s UK - (possibly Japanese) plastic model kits of cars molded in 1 or 2 colours - the models were of the 'deformed' style - possibly with interchangeable parts but definitely some kind of articulation / action. They came in a small flat box...

  14. Monster Figures - Detatchable Heads!

    Can anyone remember the monster figures of the early nineties that had a catch on their back that would make their head fly off? I think the idea was to set them up and try to knock the others down by aiming the head of your figure at the others..?? I guess they stood about two inches tall...

  17. Olga the Russian doll

    I had a doll I loved and I was just wondering if it was widely available or a one off thing. What was most notable was its size - I'd say at least three feet tall or more. It had a skinny body and long arms and legs all made of a soft white nylon-type material. The head was big like a squashed...

  19. Question Football game

    I had a football game given to me in 1975 - It consisted of a green plastic "pitch". All the players were on springs attached to the pitch and were positioned in a slight depression around them that allowed the ball to settle at their "feet". You moved the ball around by holding the players...
