Quoted from mooch:

My favorite of all was the disc that would spin when you blew on it. I could get that thing to spin really fast.

LOL, the spinning disk and the little books were the only prizes I ever seemed to get. I used to get a box whenever we went to the movie theater when I was young, I haven’t seen them selling it there for a long time now, too noisy I guess.

I don’t remember that toy but I sure loved the cereal when I was a kid! That and Freakies, which sadly wasn’t around very long.

An appropriate image for 4/20. Back in the 80’s you could tell if a person ‘partied’ if they had one of these hanging from the rear view mirror of their car.

Quoted from PghPinballRescue:

Who had one of these?

I had one but I remember it looking slightly different than that, maybe they revised it slightly after it was released.

Quoted from cottonm4:

What does it do?

Unfortunately not much. You had to program all its moves in through the keypad on top. While that was cool at first, it didn’t take long to get boring.

study hall reading

Yep, the library in my high school got that magazine and I would read it during study hall.

Quoted from zombywoof:

Azmodeus, you have mentioned liking the old Warren comics and other pre-code, no-code horror books. I've been skinning the back of my iPads with the covers of Warren books from my collection for years. There are others, but this gives the general idea.

That’s awesome, I love the Apple logo in the middle of Drac’s forehead! So do you take a scanned image and print it onto some type of sticker paper?

Is this the bus thread now? I prefer the magic bus.

Is that the $6,000,000 Six Million Dollar Man collection?

Quoted from starfighter:

We used to have epic battles with the entire neighborhood.
[quoted image]

Definitely! We used to throw firecrackers at each other’s heads too. Had several blow up inches from my head, also had several go off in my hand before I could throw them. Looking back on it we weren’t very smart, but we made it out with all of our fingers intact.

Quoted from robotron:

the venus space probe is the holy grail on the smdm toys and close to 3000 a piece it took me 10 years to find 1. had 6 of them when i stopped collecting the bionic bigfoot is probably second and worth about 2 000 in original unopened box. toys can get expensive especially in original unopened box with the “coffins” intact

It always amazes me when I see vintage toys in their original boxes like that, the box was the first thing that got pitched when I got a toy. I didn’t care about the box, I wanted what was inside.
