Several but I remember this one (see below) and another that was a yellow weight lifter. I think they are from the early 60's. Wacky packages had many of the series years ago when I was young.

Used to have one of the old robots from about 1965-1967 brown it was. But the bummer is when the parents buy you something like that and not buy the batteries needed.

As a kid I think we had almost every game out there. Hands Down was one of my favorites along with Don't Break the Ice and Don't Spill the Beans as a young kid. One that I wish we had and never got was Tip It.

I agree with you and if you watch the show Gold Rush you know that the people driving these make more money.

Cheaper than the pinball after all.

Sold mine about 40 years ago had about 10,000 could have had a fortune if I would have waited. Did have some war ones but liked "Weird War Stories" DC the most.

I remember I think a 1973 with everybody's favorite Barbie Benton? I always thought of her as bendable Barbie!

My brother's but when he wasn't home he did have better toys than I did.

Hugo Man of 1000 Faces

Stretch Armstrong

Sorry tried adding pictures but when I drag them it takes the whole page for some reason. Years ago it just took the picture.

The bad thing about this was if you got it near the birthday cake it would catch on fire. But otherwise a great one to remember.

Sorry I see some already posted about it. Just working my way down the list of posts.

I had my Burger Chef Yo yo kept by my grade school teacher and she never gave it back!

Which by the way I loved eating at Burger Chef much better than McDonald's and the first to give prizes along with the food before McDonald's did.

I remember those didn't have a pair. I miss Jarts. Played them as a kid and Cornhole has nothing on them!

See and Say pull the cord and the sound comes out. My brother had the farm animals and my sister the one shown.

My relatives always played with them as they should have been played. We never threw them at each other and makes me wonder if any adults were around when these accidents happened? I guess someone always has to spoil it for the others. Just my .02.

Played Rack-O a lot. Also I really miss guns cap, play machine guns etc. People were not as crazy back then and knew we were kids and they weren't real.

Take the Time Bomb out of the box and wonder around the airport with it if you really want to have fun.

Smoking Monkey's! I had several of those.

Wonderbread "helps build strong bodies 12 ways."
[quoted image]

Do you remember when Wonder Bread was giving one Wacky Package free in each one you bought?

I remember getting this Johnny Lightning racetrack for the Christmas of 1972. You had to use muscle as it wasn't electric or battery operated and you had to as you wouldn't make the loop otherwise. My dad was killed in the war that year and would have preferred to have him with us. Later my mother lost our house and I had to leave it behind with a lot of other things. But I always will remember it.

Interesting story told to me by a friend of mine. He had been working on his mini bike and was riding behind a shopping plaza that was a block away from where I lived. The bike caught fire and he had no water so he peed on the bike to put it out. I always laugh at that story.

Yes I remember the Archie's. I think the song was Sugar, Sugar!

Added: I remember my grandmother having TV trays to bad you can't find them now. As for TV dinners Morton's was the brand we bought all the time.

My first horror comic book I bought.

zombywoof I did have a few issues of Plop. Did you ever get into the Horror War Comics like Weird War and such?

girloveswaffles I owned that 1st appearance of Swamp Thing once but with the others I sold it years ago. I loved the horror comics and DC did have the best Marvel was mainly Monster comics like Where Creatures Dwell and such. But I liked those too just different.

The one comic that John Byrne did and could be made into a movie or two but wasn't published by either Marvel or DC and it was great to read Doomsday + 1

You can save those MAD magazines now too as they have quit publishing them. I guess time has moved on kids now just don't have time for them sad to say.

I had I think 1-4 of Doomsday+1 I didn't have any other Charlton John Byrne's, but the way I did see him in person in Chicago back in the late 80's. I saw a X-men cover art page there and it was way pricey for the time.

I traded a friend of mine many years ago for a comic book be got at a out of the way auction back in the 80's. I think it was $20 worth of comics at the time. But made the mistake of trading it also as it was a Detective #100! How many times do you see a #100 in your hands and not in bad shape either.

The best buy as a dealer at a small convention at Ball State here in the 80's a Whiz #25 first app of Captain Marvel Jr (it was repaired but a good job done on it) the dealer at that time wanted $35.00 and I got it for $30.00. I sold it to help pay the down payment on my last rental I bought in 2010.

Hey just wanted to let you know that you can still read Cracked and some other magazines over at this site for free and save a little money. Just a heads up on this.

I also had some Marvel Family and even a couple of Mary Marvel issues. Back in the 80's hardly anyone was collecting them I had maybe 30 different issues in total. Now all I have is a 20 cent #1 Shazam.

By the way you do know how much these issues are going for now? I did sell a Teenage Mutant Turtles #1 Ist print (3000 print run) at that Ball State comic convention for a friend of mine for a total of $20.00 and most dealers at that time were not even interested in it.

mooch you had a happy childhood. I remember that kite and I didn't get my mom to cave.

I had a kite like this one but could never get it to fly. Wish I would have saved it in the plastic and got this price for it.

$60.00 Canadian $47.52 US

I loved the show Space:1999 the first season I thought was the best. Second and third not so much.

cottonm4 You said $500 for a pin. Someone told me when the first started going over to SS pins they were selling the old EM's for $100-$200. Wish I would have had the money back then.

The sad things is most of the actors are dead. I think it ran from 1975-1977?

I was checking that out a few months ago and as that other thread goes... you know you're getting old when the shows you watched the actors are dead.

Don't forget he was on a good episode of one of my favorite The Outer Limits.

The Man Who Was Never Born Oct.28, 1963

Martin Landau portrays a time-traveler desperately trying to stop the birth of an inventor whose bacterium turns humans into mutants.

cottonm4 look at the positive my grandmother held grudges against people for 50 years or more. She was the nicest person but get on her bad side and watch out. She lived to 96 years but gave up at the end. She was from Hazard County Kentucky and if you knew her or my Great Grandmother (who died before I was born) don't get on their bad side. Is that a Kentucky thing I wonder?

Saltimbanco is correct playing pins keeps us young and you can tell how old you are by what you play. I like EM's but wood rails your a little older than me. I'll be 60 this month.

Where was the tall flag? Those were great in the 70's for not getting ran over by cars. They could see you at a distance. Wonder why they don't have them now as I have almost go a kid on a go-cart coming from the backside of a truck.

The Day After was in some 750 VHS tapes that I gave Goodwill. I still remember the ICBM's going off to Russia. Kind of makes you feel Putin is finally getting what is coming to him. Enjoy the clip.

I like this place as Linder's was cheaper than Dairy Queen and gave you more of the product.

I will add another one or two of your early pizza places. Great place introduced me to the pizza buffet and only wish they were still around today. The other is Pasquale's Pizza which was in the 70's and now has close many years ago and been torn down for a 3 story apartment complex. Progress I guess?

Pizza Inn was better IMO. I got a half raw pizza once from them and that was the last for me. They filed bankruptcy to restructure their debt I think it was last year. cottonm4 is correct and you can see the history on an episode of "The Food That Built America" Season 2 Episode 1.

Pizza Hut did better than Dominos as in that story the second one in the episode with Pizza Hut one brother left with the used VW and they other brother stuck it out to become rich! Talk about making the wrong decision!

MY Answer: Dominos

I have ordered Dominos here and it was OK and I always go and pick it up (cheaper that way). The pizza place I miss and this was before their bankruptcy. Little Creaser's but before the bankruptcy as that pizza always had a buy one get one free coupon back in the late 70's to early 80's. I worked there for a month but quit.

Grocery stores we used to have a "Marsh" here which like the pinball arcade I have talked about was about five doors down from but before the arcade came in. I was little and we didn't have air conditioning so I would walk over and stand in the frozen foods aisles to cool down on those really hot days. True today you would never see an unattended small kid like me but who says little kids don't have any smarts. The president of Marsh spent and mismanaged the money until they filed bankruptcy and sold some of their stores in prime locations to Kroger and others are just setting there empty after I think six years. The one here was just bought last year and all things has been turned into of all things a church!

The last grocery store was "Standard" and it was the last as someone there had cleaned up for the night and threw some rags into the incinerator which caught the store on fire and burned it to the ground. They never built it back.

Yes my aunt was the greatest as one year from Florida she brought us kids two blowup liquor bottles! Yes she did like her liquor and us kids would go after each other with those bottles.

Now for some health info:

The World Health Organization estimates that alcohol kills three million people throughout the world every year. In other words, alcohol is the cause of 5.3% of all human deaths annually.

I am one of them and have enjoyed every bite!

OK talking about food?

Burger King rolls out ‘Pride Whopper’ with ‘two equal buns’

My only question is why does the back end have all the sauce?

Australians gag as KFC uses cabbage for lettuce in burgers amid shortages. Those silly Aussies cabbage isn't lettuce, lettuce is what you have to have to buy cabbage. IMO take the burger without the cabbage (poorman's lettuce substitute) it would taste way better that way.

My Grandmother when she was alive made the best cooked cabbage! This made me remember her and her cooking, thanks for bring that up.

No they aren't yanking you as they do serve Roo in Australia.

I wish I was at 285. Stress and food are my constant companions. I was slimmer too so I have been in both worlds. Started my job 140 lbs. now retired 325 lbs. I could get into a L t-shirt like dirkdiggler but the question is could I get out?

You would think there would be a pinball or pinball arcade one? I also collect stamps and I have seen one for them.

Did you ever get them back? Teacher confiscated my Burger Chef Yo-yo back in the days and never gave it back! It still makes me mad that I only had a day or two to play with it.

Just how old is the old fashioned loaf? I was more of a Buddig person any except the turkey and add the potato chips (for the salt) to the sandwich and push down. The taste was great and I remember it to this day!

But Zartan hated G.I. Joe! NO! It must be COBRA pinball!!! But Cobra Commander will allow the pin to have Kung Fu grips.

swampfire I agree with "The Masters of the Universe" but the question is will it be a movie adaption one and if so will it be current Dolph or 1987 movie Dolph. By the way not muscle bound currently as in 1987.

Robot Chicken if we are going there then we should just have another Family Guy pin which I am more than happy with!

Barbie to be honest shouldn't that have been made years ago as a EM? But you are right as it could have phrases like: "I wish they taught shopping at school." "Let's bake some cookies for the boys." "Don't ask me, I'm just a girl!

You have to LOVE the Black Cat firecrackers! I bought a case I remember 30 years ago and sold some and had a great time with the rest.

Gatecrasher you are correct but I do like a little light with the bang and at that time Black Cat didn't do that. Have they changed them since then and added the little lightshow with them? It's been awhile since I have bought any.

Hell right and real men don't use no silly filters!

Several years ago a friend of mine won a live auction in the boondocks for a comicbook (Detective #100) about VG+. I traded him some X-men at that time for it but made the mistake of trading it myself. Wish I would have kept that comicbook as how often do you see a Detective #100!

Always remember the Chuck Wagon commercials.

The Truth is Out There!

Believe it or not I have my deck of TWA playing cards I got when I was 11 when me and my family flew to Florida! I never played with them and still look great. The plastic pilot's wings I did lose.

My uncle sold Kirby vacuum cleaners also but it was about 1970 or 1971.

My sister had a brown one and I think that is the fate of all these chairs. So many beads!

Thanks, this reminds me of my first house I bought in the early 90's. I was in the basement and found a old grocery store ad for Kroger's from 1973. It had oil on half of it but you could still read the prices. I don't have it now but just wish those prices were still around.
