I dont think it was invented in the 80's, but I remember using my ViewMaster a lot in the 80's! You put the "disc" in, and view the 3D images/story by pulling the handle down. Doesn't sound very exciting now but collecting the discs & "reading" the stories was a great way to pass the time when you were in Primary school.


Oh, and I loved my Punky Brewster doll. I took it EVERYWHERE!

Ahhhh the memories eh?

I think my most fave toy ever has to be LEGO! I loved barbie and Cindy when I was little but I spent many hours of my child hood building LEGO with my brother at my Nan's house!!
When I was 17 I managed to get a fab summer holiday job working in the LEGO factory in Wrexham (It's closed now and moved back to the Netherlands:cry where I relived my childhood dreams of building LEGO.... and getting paid for it!! AWESOME!

LEGO ROCKS! **

Tonka Toys i had the big yellow car transporter with 2 vw beetles and a jeep, used to sit on it and trundle down the garden on it.
Ah the memories

The Tonka toys were vertually indestructable, which ment kids had to do the hardest to break, destroy them, and yep kool as kinda go-kartesque for riding/sitting on too.

Wasn't there an advert in the 70s where an elephant is standing on one ?
