Yep, we called them \"logs\"

My faves were -

 

[Aliengod3]

I am surprised no one mentions these yet:

I had damn near everyone they came out with. Plus they recently rel-released the original toys from the 80\'s, all 4 turtles, splinter, april, shredder, the foot, bebop, rocksteady, and I think krang for the 25th anniversary. Great toys!

And do not forget about the toxic crusaders inspired by the wonderfully cool Toxic Avenger movie:

These were awesome toys too.

Can\'t do hosting in work, so follow the link. This was THE point at which toy cars became obsolete.

Is that the same as THESE? My sis and I had quite a few Darda cars (and a couple of fuzzy Darda mice too), they were a lot of fun.

This was the best game evar on account of being fast, furious and fantastically noisy!

One game that sticks in my mind but no one else has ever heard of involved a rotating... thing... in the centre that had a hole in the top for these lil round counters with different shapes cut out of the middles. The... thing... rotated and randomly spat out tokens to the waiting players, who each had a set of corresponding shapes to fit the counters on. Any that didn\'t fit got put back into the thingie in the middle for reprocessing. Basically it was a race against the machine and the other players to fill all your shapes in first without getting swamped by counters! It was cool, but I can\'t remember the name at all.

 

[Beelzebrush]

Probably something like this... I was a bit of a scallywag

 

[Crayfish]

Had lots of old 80/90s toys, including a huuuuge amount of Lego! Me and my brothers favourite was the space stations!

I also had a bunch of Spiderman toys, darn it i loved that comic! Now its mostly Music instruments and miniatures that hold my interest!

 

[Gilvan Blight]

For some reason that just reminded me of the original lego castle, in all it\'s yellow greatness.

 

[Sukigod]

Here\'s a few from mine - puts me right about where Blight and NoSuchAgency are...

The Barbie van/winnebego was a multi-purpose toy in our house (there were not girls either). Evil Knievel must have jumped that thing 1,000 times (every one successfully!) AND it was always a good foil for the one who didn\'t get the Tonka truck first when we had downhill races.... The Tonka alway won, of course.

The Terron! What line is that from? I was trying to find that when looking for pics of the Energized Spiderman. I thought it was Big Jim but I could\'t find any guys with flashlinghts on their chests, nor could I remember a single name.

I was also trying to find the name/a pic for a 12 inch Cylon that had these clear plastic weapons and attachments, and when you pushed in this button thing on the back they would glow red as would it\'s eye. I thought it was Mego but I didn\'t have much luck looking for that one.
