I liked Legos as a little kid. When I was ten or so I LOVED Micronauts.

Quoted from Beemus:

And who didn't play with matches?!?

Matches + plastic model tanks and planes = hours of fun. Well, minutes of fun.

Creepy Crawlers Thingmaker 2, Mighty Men & Monster Maker, Little Van Goes, and Slime. All popular here on Long Island in the late 70's.

Quoted from Azmodeus:

I have realized that certain times in my life were my happiest. Nostalgia is a passion of mine now.
So, it is the year 1978 in this case. I am quite happy now, but this nostalgia is part of the reason for that.
My grandmother took us to see see the movie lord of the rings in 1978. The music embedded itself in my mind forever.
This is the area I focus on now. Mining the whole year for nostalgia.[quoted image]

Best year ever! I've seen Bakshi's LOTR so many times I can replay the whole thing in my head. Led to being a lifelong Tolkien reader and collector....

Quoted from Viggin900:

......and the cool clear plastic push up stick with disc. It made great accessories when I played star wars figures.

When we were kids, we used to re-purpose all sorts of plastic doo-dads and throw-aways like this into our action figure world. I used to make fortresses for my Micronauts from the oddly shaped styrofoam shipping blocks that TV's and appliances were packed with. They would, of course, all be destroyed by the end of the battle.

Quoted from mooch:

Sad to hear that Al Jaffee (writer and artist for the Mad rear cover fold-ins) just passed. I have a friend who was an artist for Mad, saw him just a few days before he died.
