Now that we're grown up, let's dust off the nostalgic vibes and think back to things we can remember owning as a wee one.

Going way back here..
I had this little music box where you turn the dial and it plays "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" until it either runs out in its rotation or your parents' eardrums bleed.  Probably got this at age 4 or 5.
(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/dd/3f/57/dd3f5786d82e07e4901aae3cdf4a0df3.jpg)
This was my very first book!  A BARGAIN FOR FRANCES.  Frances (a badger) appeared in a number of kids books.  I probably got this when I was 1 or 2.

I had this dull PONG-like handheld game BLIP, pretty much right when it came out, that  meant I was 6.

This was one of the COOLEST toys!  It required a whopping 6 AA's but you could play 6 different games: Tic Tac Toe, Music Machine, Echo, Blackjack 13, Magic Square and Mindbender.  I was so proud that I saved up 37 bucks to buy this when I was 7.  MERLIN!!!
(http://www.8-bitcentral.com/images/miscellaneous/merlin/merlin.jpg)
And another toy guaranteed to give parents migraines.. MAGICAL MUSICAL THING!  It was like a little synthesizer with a long neck.  I got it at age 8 or so.  I think my mom spilled coffee on it so it sounded all gurgly and eventually died. :)

Give me time and I can think of a LOT more!  In the meantime, what can YOU remember?

This book-In 190-when I was 8-I got it for Xmas. It had art by Dell comic hack Tony Tallarico. You can see it in my hand in the bottom photo-

One of my favorite books-and one I still have a copy to this day-I got on my 12th birthday in 1973-

^ Cool RC!  I looked like the kid on the trike when I was that age.  Young and impossibly cute, and then I grew up, lost my hair and got fugly.

More stuff I had:
TOMY ATOMIC ARCADE PINBALL (1979)
Fun little pinball game with noisy sound effects.
(http://videogameobsession.com/videogame/tomypinball/tomypinball3.jpg)
RUN YOURSELF RAGGED (1979)
Really cool marble game in which you try to guide a ball through a maze to the exit before the buzzer goes off.
(http://www.jeff-z.com/pinball/toys/ryr/bigbox-01.jpg)
LI'L PROFFESSOR (1976)
Cute little calculator-type toy that taught math to elementary schoolers.
(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/54/e9/3b/54e93bf064fcdf1abb8c573ed1ad9345.jpg)
GNIP GNOP (1971)
Fun little table top game where you try to fire all 3 of your plastic balls into the 3 holes on your opponent's side, via 3 buttons, while the opponent tries to do the same to you.
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX2bqI--c-k#)
MR. MICROPHONE (1979)
Got this for Christmas of '79.  You plug it into your car and sing with an amplified voice to the AM/FM radio, or at least that's how I think it worked.  Never really used it much.
(http://kidofthe80s.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/mr-microphone.jpg)

My sister had a MR.Microphone-she usta screech Shaun Cassidy songs at the top of her lungs. UGH! That was about 1978.

"Hey,good looking! We'll be back to pick you up later!"
Good-that will give me time to go get MY GUN.

http://youtu.be/gqZQmS8KeLM (http://youtu.be/gqZQmS8KeLM)

I usta have this game-I got this for X-mas about the time I got the Monster book-about 1970-

(http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah192/mydoginky/pic6014_zpshxbrckxv.jpg) (http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/mydoginky/media/pic6014_zpshxbrckxv.jpg.html)

I don't recall how to play it-I do remember that I used the glow-in-the-dark set of fangs that came with it,though.
I didn't like most board games-except,Battleship,Stratego,and Monopoly. Checkers and chess too. I DID have a lot of games,though-I just didn't play them too much.Life,Pay Day,the thing with the marbles-I forget what it was called-there was a bubble in the middle-and you pressed it down and it popped and rolled the dice.I dunno. Maybe It didn't have marbles.

I had lotsa Marbles! I had boulders and peries and cat-eyes and steelies...! We had fun at the playground at school-we played marbles for keepsies! Can you imagine kids nowadays-with all there electronic s**t-playing with marbles?

 :buggedout: :buggedout: +  :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:

I had - and still have - the same Denis Gifford book, RC: cost my folks 25 Zimbabwean dollars, a whole $2.50.  :teddyr:

I still have my first toy: a rather grubby and elderly Teddy bear who's been with me since the first day and the first book I ever bought as a kid:

(https://titheridgetalk.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/the-old-gang.jpg)

That book is about three post WW2 kids who get involved with silver thieves in rural England: its' falling apart but I still have it.  :smile:

RC-- the game you're thinking of is TROUBLE (1965).  I was fascinated by that "pop-o-matic" bubble.

I had these board games:
GAMBLER (1975), in which you--well--gamble.
(https://img1.etsystatic.com/042/1/5343933/il_570xN.522236339_p29w.jpg)
BONKERS (1978).

THE MAD MAGAZINE GAME (1979).  The object was to LOSE all your money!
(http://outonthewire.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/madmaggame2.bmp)
STOP THIEF (1979)
Way the eff cool game!  Use an electronic scanner to give you clues to a thief's whereabouts and try to reach him on a game board and make an arrest.
(http://www.handheldmuseum.com/ParkerBros/ParkerBros-StopThief2.jpg)
And I had this weird game, COMPUTER PERFECTION (1979).  It had NOTHING to do with Perfection and it was more like a multiple-games-in-one type of toy.
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaDDkasNFZw#)

Another toy I have from my youth - when was that exactly?  :wink: - which I still have is a Kermit hand puppet. If you're one of my FB friends, I have the puppet on my hand in my profile pic.  :smile:

(http://40.media.tumblr.com/64cf01ff00b3e027c415769b8cfa8739/tumblr_mjxqo5G53d1s2xpeeo1_1280.jpg)

I remember playing with this toy, I'm not sure when I got the toy but most likely it was before I was 7.

Because I do remember getting this when I was 7 and I recall having the ghost gun before it.

(http://p2.la-img.com/985/20760/7116779_1_l.jpg)

I had a ton of board games back in the day like Risk, Monopoly, Sorry!, Trivial Persuit

I used to have a lot of The Boxcar Children books and Goosebumps

Another board game we had:
THE HAWAIIAN PUNCH GAME (1978)
Based on the commercial for Hawaiian Punch with the guy who literally punches people into orbit (lovely gimmick).  Uses a Play-doh "pineapple maker" to make the players' markers.  At certain moments an opponent can SQUISH your marker and you have to start over or at an earlier space on the board; I can't remember for certain.  But it was a scream!
(https://img0.etsystatic.com/005/0/7199223/il_fullxfull.394842988_3lxe.jpg)
This game terrified the absolute bejeezus out of me:
OPERATION (1965)
We got it way later than the original date (I wasn't born then).  Something about that angry dude and the loud buzzing sound and his freakish glowing nose.. just put me in an incurable state of panic!  And this 70s commercial was on ALL the time to reinforce my terror..
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QHW8vawIQw#)
DIGITAL DERBY (1978)
Little handheld game in which you steer a car at the bottom out of the way of oncoming traffic.  Lap counter and timer included.  A buzz and a red flash is shown during a collision.
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6boffNrPog#)
I think I got this for my 10th birthday.. what a cool LCD game/calculator/stopwatch/more handheld!  I recently bought it at a gaming expo!
EPOCH MAN (1981)
(http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Epoch/Epoch-EpochManPocket.jpg)
Not a toy per se but I may have gotten this the following year for Christmas.
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS 99 (1981)
Mine was white, had no floppy drive and ran on a black & white tv.
(http://www.mainbyte.com/ti99/ti_front.jpg)
And my grandparents (rip) got me this handheld version of a game I was nuts about back in the day:
CRAZY CLIMBER (1981), by Bandai
(http://www.electronicplastic.com/_images/450/bandai/CrazyClimber-front.jpg)

I think still one of my favorite Christmas presents ever was when I got all the "Little House" books in one boxed set. I still remember the smell of the paper, and I was the right age to get lost in that long-ago world.

I'm buying my oldest a set for Christmas this year and hope she likes it as much as I did.

I'm a guy-so I didnt have the "Little House" Books......
I was fortunate to have my 4th grade teacher read us EVERY single one of those books aloud-ALL OFTHEM-even obscure ones like the Plum Creek stuff-all the way to the end-I knownLaura Ingell Wilder's life-from day one. in class-and I love them.

Wow, all those blonde haired kids!  Did everyone in your neighborhood fall asleep one day and then all the women woke up mysteriously pregnant?  :smile:

I'm Norwegian.
Oh-and yes-we were all evil-and we did kill our parents-and our eyes glowed in the dark.  :wink:

I had a 90s version of Merlin!  I really liked it, but this version kept your scores and one day I got an impossibly high score on one of the challenges and I just didn't know what to do with it anymore after that so I put it under my bed and never spoke of it.  When the batteries started dying, it would occasionally sound off: "Welcome, Apprentice, to the 10th Quest!" and people would ask what that was and I would cryptically say "Don't worry about it, you'll never beat my high score."

I was obsessed with Speak & Spell for a while when I was a kid.  I used to sneak and play it for hours in the middle of the night.

More stuff:
AVALANCHE (1965)
Marble/Plinko-type game.  Also a toy I received way later than its release date.
(http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxMjAw/z/~GAAAOSwDk5UJ-ql/$_35.JPG)
We had a bunch of those FINGER POPS, which were simple reinforced chunks of styrofoam  that you pinch and they "pop" at people.
(http://www.plaidstallions.com/images/tl/fingerpops.jpg)
SKEDOODLE (1979)
Drawing toy, with an ugly bubble screen that you steer the drawing utensil from underneath.  You get various shapes to design with.  Shake to erase.  I remember getting this right around the time my brother was born.
(http://retromash.com/nash/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Skedoodle01.jpg)
We had some books that were way older than when we first got them.
RABBIT AND HIS FRIENDS (1953)
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-f5-5PA-Zy00/T2quaOX5ayI/AAAAAAAAAsQ/bNWIi-Nkrpk/s1600/4ed95fa4737811e180c9123138016265_7.jpg)
I remember the platypus often had a lollipop in his possession.
THE MARSHMALLOW GHOSTS (1961)
A ghost woman and her 3 ghost children.  It's never explained how they all died. :)
(http://slobodkin.net/books/images/the_marshmallow_ghosts.jpg)
BUNNICULA (1979)
Cute, funny kid's book about a vampire bunny.
(http://hundredbookpileup.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Bunnicula1.jpg)
My dad would make Aggravation boards.
(https://img0.etsystatic.com/000/0/6846613/il_fullxfull.327164464.jpg)
We had this weird old board game, SUPERSTITION (1977), in which you move around the board, hoping not to spring traps.  Creepy but interesting.
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kgmx4kTVemk/UGfEzi0NoJI/AAAAAAAAbX8/Dsp4AO9oB-o/s400/superstition.JPG)
And this wasn't ours but my grandparents had this at their house specifically for us:
SLEEPING BEAUTY board game.
(http://beautysleep.weebly.com/uploads/3/5/4/6/3546299/2144466.jpg?330)
(http://thumbs2.picclick.com/d/l400/pict/232110916237_/Disney-Sleeping-Beauty-Board-Game-1958-Whitman.jpg)

I had one of those Snoopy movie viewer things, where you pop in a toy reel of a Snoopy cartoon and turn the crank to move it frame by frame.  I think I had a yellow one with a reel of "It's The Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown".
(https://collectpeanuts.com/Collection/ImagesW/MovieView/201105/IMG_5962.jpg)
Oh man.. I got this when it was new.  Probably 1976 or so.  POP UP PINBALL!
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uREjX0iumrQ#)
I had this audio book: THE SELFISH GIANT.  Classic Oscar Wilde children's story.  The cover may not have looked like this, I can't remember.
(http://www.eltbooks.com/cover/9781599666419.jpg)
STAY ALIVE (1971)
Classic game where you pull slides and try to keep your marbles from falling through.
(https://img1.etsystatic.com/000/0/6311580/il_570xN.244155841.jpg)
Two toys I had when I was REAL little:
Playskool Counting Eggs!  Eggs that came apart in 2 halves and taught counting.

And a Tupperware (!) puzzle ball toy.  Fit the pieces into the toy.  Pull the handles to open it up and spill out the pieces.

I know a family----serious here---who gives each newborn an actual gun as a birth gift, and it gets set aside for a few years, but they consider guns that important in life, a birth right, and something everyone should have. I mention this because once when I was a long way from home I was talking to the person who told me this, an incredible marksman, and I made some remark about all the things I missed and one is this talking book I got when I was about four, how I'd love to hear it read me the story of Peter and the Wolf, and he told me how his favorite childhood toy, even before school, was his gun.

Absolutely true story.

I had a puzzle map of the United States, with each state being a piece of the puzzle (well, mostly, I think they combined some of the smaller ones like New Hampshire and those other small states between Maine and New York.)  Anyway, being the kid with an overactive imagination, I didn't quite "play" with the puzzle as it was meant to be.  Sure, I put together the picture a few times, but I played around with the individual pieces a lot. 

For instance, I always liked Virginia because the left tip of it looked like a spear to me.  So, I'd used it to "stab" the other states. 

(http://virginiacraftbeer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/State-Map-Virigina.jpg)

Kentucky always remind me of a key.

Idaho, you turn it on it's side and it looked a bit like a gun.

(http://blitzlift.com/wp-content/uploads/Idaho.jpg)

And it always fascinated me what neat, nearly perfect rectangles that Colorado and Wyoming were.  And how neatly Tennessee and North Carolina fit together. 

I had lotsa GI JOE's. Not the little tiny things they called GI Joes's in the 80's either.Some even had Kung Fu grip,and they talked! Some even had  "life like hair and beard!" that feel out in patches-so it looked like they had radiation sickness!
And you could shoot them with a BB gun,and throw them out of trees and stick bubble gum or Silly Putty on they're faces like they were being attacked by an alien blob thingy!


http://youtu.be/WLL67CN2hnw (http://youtu.be/WLL67CN2hnw)

I had this emergency hospital playset from Fisher Price. 
(https://img1.etsystatic.com/020/0/5790369/il_570xN.473211943_l5t4.jpg)
And this classic toy record player.  Shortly after we had a real one in our bedroom (me & my sisters).
(http://images.thewirelesscatalog.com/graphics/products/regular/VL5132.jpg)
And some board games:
PAC MAN
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7154/6454559423_65619e004e_z.jpg)
DONKEY KONG
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0H5escB-IKU/TmZj-Y04woI/AAAAAAAAAfo/VIE_aOLDt9Y/s1600/001donkeykong1.JPG)
FLAT CAT (1978)
Weird game where you move cats up a board and hope you don't trigger the dog that knocks you back down to the bottom.
(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/f8/17/7b/f8177b07322e23b81f444085826d2c23.jpg)
And this toy rescue helicopter.
(http://www.toyzdollz.com/images/FPadve146.jpg)
And a weird air hockey-type game called Bop Bop 'n Rebop (1979).
(http://www.thestrong.org/online-collections/images/Z006/Z00624/Z0062403.jpg)

Oh wow! We had one of those dam things in the basement! I don't know who's it was! It made little creepy tinkling ....music. Sounded like something from a horror movie.

Yeah I had both the Pac Man game and Donkey Kong.  No idea what happened to them.  Kind had to be careful with the Pac Man game with all the young children around who might swallow the dots.  I was about 8 at the time, I had a lot of 3 and 4 year old cousins then.

Yeah, kind of like a jack in the box when it comes to the "pop goes the weasel" part.  You expect something to jump up and kill you.

I had a few Transformers:
DIRGE
(http://farm2.staticflickr.com/1439/1143020135_67cf795975_z.jpg?zz=1)
DEAD END, one of the Stunticons that merged into the giant MENASOR

(http://botchthecrab.com/archive/autobot/1985/omega_supreme.jpg)
And this great TRIPLE CHANGER (they could change into 2 different things and back to a robot): BLITZWING!
(http://news.tfw2005.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/Blitzwing-Robot-27_1367675694.jpg)
And my grandma got me the whole set of robots (er, GOBOTS) that formed a giant robot-- can't remember its name.
(http://www.toyarchive.com/Gobots/Combiners/PuzzlerSetLoose1a.jpg)

Used to have this when I was a little kid. Yes, I got burned a few times, but I learned to be VERY careful around hot things as a result.

(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/50/e9/7c/50e97c2424bc0fd2b9397317c433ce4c.jpg)

Had this one as well. Maybe my parents were hoping I'd set the house on fire or something

(http://www.oaktreevintage.com/misc/web_photos/Toys/Mattel_A_Strange_Change_Toy_The_Lost_World_web.jpg)

I had something like that circa 1969-only it was called Creepy Crawlers,I think-It made bugs and s**t.
Sometimes the cheapest toys were the best. I had more fun with those little plastic army guys-ya know-the green ones and the Nazi grey ones-! You could bomb them with rocks,throw them in mud puddles,set them on fire! All sortsa cool s**t!

We had this and it was AWESOME!

(http://theswca.com/duncan-images/1TOYS4/TO66501.JPG)

Star Wars Play-Doh molds!  It had molds of Luke, Leia, a stormtrooper, Darth Vader and R2-D2.  (May have had others, not sure...)  I had a TON of fun with this!  I remember I loved to mass produce R2-D2s and then flatten them all in various crazy ways.  Or sometimes I'd put just enough Play-doh in the Vader mold so I'd only have his head, and I could recreate the scene from Empire Strikes Back with his severed head rolling on the Dagobah floor. 

Course, thinking about the awesomeness of this toy, begs the question... why don't they have cool Play-doh stuff like this TODAY?  No, seriously, I did a search, and, yeah, they still have Play doh Star Wars toys, but most of them are weird crap like stamps, Giant face stuff, or cartoon junk based on the Clone Wars. 

I mean, seriously, compare the pic above to this...

(http://kidcrave.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/star-wars-play-doh.jpg)


Again, awesome:

WTF?!

(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rrDFuGQdP4I/maxresdefault.jpg)

Well, okay, maybe that TIE Fighter mold isn't too bad, but still...

We had a WILLY WATER BUG!
(http://brandedinthe80s.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Whamo-Willy-Water-Bug.jpg)
We also had the incredibly aerodynamic AEROBIE.  I think it set record distances for Frisbee tossing.
(http://www.mountex.hu/sl1r/w1000-h1000/www/mountex/webroot/upload/termekfotok/utazas/aerobie/aerobie-orange-pro.jpg)
We had a weird toy that had a plastic football-like item you scooted back and forth to each other on a line, by pulling the handles apart.
(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71OJQ3VvDQL._SL256_.jpg)
We had a lawn darts set.
(https://img0.etsystatic.com/024/0/6041417/il_fullxfull.481932318_jcmp.jpg)
I had all these McDonalds toy racers!
(https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7093/7256644358_1b4366dbb5_z.jpg)

Oh wow. I totally forgot we had these.. rubber finger puppets of Sesame Street characters.  A "friend" of my sisters' took a lighter to Grover.  He was then known as "black 'n crispy Grover" and I was upset for a while, then found it to be rather funny.
(https://img0.etsystatic.com/000/0/6741603/il_570xN.314746428.jpg)
Big Bird looks stoned..

I had a Big Trak.
I never did figure out the instructions, so I could never get it to do anything, just play with the TEST button every now & then...

For that matter, so does Grover. 

Are you sure it's not the cast from this show?

http://youtu.be/pQIHzPUl59A (http://youtu.be/pQIHzPUl59A)

I had like...Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers.

I recall that I had a tetris toy

I had this and I used to heat up cookies in the heating device:

My older cousin used to swing this around by the handle, yell "Back, rogue!" and bat me across the back yard with it. Great fun:

I was tying to remember if I had any Dukes Of Hazard Toys aside from that one Matchbox car, & then I remembered those Wrist Racers.

I had a silver one & a gold one, & then they came out with the Dukes Of Hazard Wrist Racers, & I had both of those.

 :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:

I think I or one of my cousins had one of those Dukes of Hazard Matchbox cars.  No idea what happened to it though. 

Growing up we had the farm equipment toys. 

Lately when I go shopping I sometimes look to see if there are any matchbox EVs.  I've already scored matchbox versions of the Tesla Model S and a Volt.

I owned all of these as a kid. And quite a few more - throw in Randy Savage, Tito Santana, George Steele, The British Bulldogs, Magnificent Muraco, Adrian Adonis, Terry Funk, Jesse Ventura, The Hart Foundation, Corporal Kirschner, Hercules, Kamala, Koko B. Ware, Jake the Snake, & S.D. Jones.

I had a number of these style hockey games:

Had some Transformers, a Glo-Ball, a Lite Brite, a Rubix's Cube. When I finally got my Atari, that kind of topped it all at the time though...

Puzzler ^ I had lots of gobots.

I also had most of the old rubber WWF figures too  :thumbup:

Pacman board game... evel knievel stunt cycle... old green dracula toys - that large Godzilla figure, Kong...

I wish I had saved them all!
