  • Retro Christmas Wish List

    If you could have anything from the '70s, '80s or '90s for Christmas, what would it be?
    Here's some of my choices:





    Just the truck alone from this set is worth around £380!

        One of the things out of many would have to be the Transit police van complete with cones & police road signs in the back. I had one but no idea what happened to it

        Do you really believe the other side without provocation would launch so many ICBM's, subs and ships knowing that we would have no option to launch as well? It would break our MAD Treaty (Mutually Assured Destruction) not to mention the end of the world as we know it.

          An exploding army bridge.....had one as a kid ....hit a lever and it would break in half...seems like the springs could be used on a car, they were so strong.....i'de like one just to prove they did exist....never seen one since.

            We had a department store chain called Montgomery Ward and I remember seeing a stack of those Road King sets in the toy department. I must have been eleven or twelve-years-old but I remember it like it was yesterday.

              Another one for the list. This Hot Wheels double decker bus was made in France in the early 1980s and was only sold in Europe. This one just sold on eBay where they rarely turn up.

                  Pretty much all the things I wanted but never got. These spring immediately to mind.

                        Even in the '90s I remember an original Kenner Millenium Falcon could still be had at charity shops for £3 ($5) and figures could be found at any yard sale for 15p (25 cents).
