Thread: Toys from the 70's

don't know much about 70's toys but I do remember speak and spell.

yeah, yeah i know "it didn't help you". bla bla

I wish I still had my Star Wars toys. My parents sold them all years ago in a garage sale. A big loss of money.

I wish, nothing in a box. we didn't get a lot of toys growing up so I played the hell out of everything. below would be the ONLY electronic game my parents ever bought me. Dad sad if I wanted to play video games I had to program then on the Vic 20...LOL

Even if not mint I still think they're collectible - imagine having a room full of old school video arcade games??!

an idea i have been toying with for years. always loved video games but there are just so many to choose from. one I know definetly on the list is Stargate and probably Donkey Kong Jr and Dragon's Lair.

we didn't really get a lot of toys but since my father was a phys ed teacher we did get all the old sports equipment from my dads school when they bought new stuff. so we had lots of hockey equipment, flag football stuff, etc. always a bunch of kids playing at our house out in the yard.

did have this tic tac toe game
