The Family Tree House is still around at my folks - now being played with/abused by a new generation.

I've seen a couple of variations online too. One was a firehouse, and the other was a licensed item I think.

And the train... Whistling swine.

I had the Knight Rider version of the DOH Stuntbuster set! Always wanted the Bigfoot more though. Can't figure out how I didn't end up with one.

Probably because I would turn around and say things like 'ooh, look at the Knight Rider Stuntbuster set!'

Re: Old catalogue pages.

That brings back memories, I'll be here all day listing all the toys from those pages I had the chance to play with, so I'll just mention the

Maximus - Is it just me or did he look just like Gerald from Pidgeon Street?

Stuntbuster - I had the Knight Rider version, might still have some of the barrels & crates that came with it somewhere.

Streak Racing - The glow in the dark version was fun to play with the lights out

Construction Site - This is somewhere in my parents loft, might even have some of the accessories to it.

Me, my brother & sister had a lot of those toys between us, & knew people who had many more.

haha! although I was born in '79 I do remember that shape sorter in the 2nd picture! (although I'm sure that mine was blue and red! and it didn't have a head on the top of it!) Hmm...

Brilliant piccies! I will have to scan my '88 Argos soon.
