Trying to find toys from my youth... - Page 2

Here was my holy grail

Milton Bradley Starbird Avenger - Bug Eyed Monster

My lousy bastard cousin had one of these and I wanted it SOOOOO bad! I tracked down the original Starbird, the Avenger, AND the Intruder.

I also scored a Pulsar which was on my hit list for 2 decades.

Pulsar | BugEyedMonster.com

Blood still pumps too.

Those are the weak sauce ones, the bigger ones were like a foot long and had missile launchers and stuff

Here is a great resource too

Yeah, my list is pretty rediculous... I'd like to someday buy all these toys "for my kids" (

) but trying to find them in good shape sucks...

Thought of another one I need to find!

K, it's like a little racer thing, but instead of going on a street type track it connects to this wire (like weed wacker wire material) and he could set up turns and curves with it... Had one going at the top of my room....Don't fail me guys!

Quick edit: think it had a hook that attached to the bottom of it...

I had that when I was a kid! I would love to know what this is too!
It DID have a hook attached to the bottom, the kind that is three hooks in one, like the wall climbing ones.

I found a micromachine buried in my yard the other day...cleaned it up and put it in the office

I mentioned the Exo-Squad earlier, if any of you are as nerdy as me I just found out they are on Hulu!

It's been a good month for me . I do forclosure work and I found a SDF-1 ( from robotech) and a transformers skylynx ( still in the box). I love my job.

Im a keep.. in a box some where in my house.. I have 90% of the entire MASK line, I know Im a nerd.

I also have bunch of the key force stuff though I know I used most of the good guys cars as fire cracker fodder.

The toys I wish I kept and didnt give to my younger cousins were my ghostbusters, and toxic crusader toys

I actually embarked on my own search earlier this year.

There's a pair of pliers in the background because it needed repairing after shipping from ebay.

Anyone remember these dashboards or am I too young? Mine had working headlights.

Oh dear lord, I just nostalgia'd hardcore. I had completely forgotten about this guy, and it was like my favorite toy ever. Oh man...

Oh, and Stretch Armstrong was awesome.
