Happy childhood memories

The other day I saw that Rebook had a fitness tool that reminded me alot of something I had when I was a kid.
So that gave me the idea for this thread.
What did you love when you where a kid? Any favorite snacks that don't exist anymore nowadays? What did you use to play with?

I had one of these:



I also loved to use this:



My parents bought me one of these, but I didn't like it that much:

 

DO I really need to say anything else?

 

When I was a little boy(a long time ago in a galaxy far away), my mom bought me



which transformed into




This was transformers g1.

If you try to buy it now, it is at least 50 dollars. I tried to buy it:smt012




I also was introudced to games back then. My neighbor showed me a ssega gensis. I Loved it but ended up having to save to buy a super nintendo which began my love for nintendo.

 

I'm sure these are still around, but I don't see kids really using them like they did when I was younger. I was the QUEEN!

My grandparents had an Atari at their house...my favorite game:

 

Some Old School shit here :

Brother Man version G.I. Joe with the Kung Fu grip. Super G.I. Joe with Power Beam Vest & arch enemy Gor with Destucto Ray chest beam.












Die Cast Metal Shogun Warrior Miniature Action Figures.






The Classic: Rock Em Sock Em Robots.






The Bionic Man/Six Million Dollar Man, Steve Austin Action Figure.

 

My younger brother is a die-hard G.I. Joe fan and collector. His garage is full of Joes and other action figures that are related(vehicles, clothes and weapons). He has both black and white Joes with the Kung Fu grip. He even has a G.I. Joe of General Colin Powell, John F. Kennedy and he even had one of the real Tuskegee Airmen sign a box of an unopened Tuskegee Airman G. I. Joe. He is very passionate about G.I. Joe. I used to joke that he spent more time with those men than he did with his wife. LOL His wife concurs.

For me, it was....

Cant believe they used to sell these...cigarette gum for kids that actually smoked

 

Jetfire/Skyfire!! He had a very close resemblance to the robotech fighter!

 

Thundercats HO!!!

 

I remember the cigarette gum and candies. I remember seeing the smoke which was the dust from the gum that made it convincing. But the dust didn't last long. The cigarette candies were often given on Halloween when I used to go trick or treating. Just about every American cigarette label was on them. At the time, I thought it was fun. But when I learned about the health hazzards associated with smoking at a young age, I knew better.
