How many of these do you remember?
I stumbled across this site of some toys from yesteryear and cringed at the sheer fact I remembered a lot of them.

Re: How many of these do you remember?
This reminds me of my fave toy as a child ~8 yrs old.
I have no idea what it was called, it was a pair of towers with 3 drums between them.
You put a pile of metal ball bearings in the bottom of the tallest tower, it used an archimedes screw type lift to raise the balls to the top of the tower.
The balls then fell off a ramp, bounced over the three drums and landed on the shorter tower where they rolled down a runway back to the base of the other tower.
If anyone can remember this toy I'd love to get the details so I can get one.
Oh and BTW, Crossfire should have been #1

Re: How many of these do you remember?
don't know, but it sounds very simular to a toy I had around the same age, only instead of a screw to raise the balls it had motorised magnets inside that made the metal balls climb up the face of it before rolling back down a ramp.

Re: How many of these do you remember?
I remember most and am pretty sure I either owned or used/borrowed/played with around 48 or 49 of them.

Re: How many of these do you remember?
I'm sorry that the list referred to toys from the olden days and you were left out?
I'm sure we can find you a site that shows lots of toy dolls, play make-up and dressing-up toys from the 90's so you can tell us all how many of them you secretly borrowed from your sister and her friends when they were in the garden playing football and you were inside because "Mummy says it's too cold for you to play outside"
Heh.

I had a blue 'finger fright' \o/
I had or played with 32 of those. I vaguely remember others as my brother had them. I still have my 'Simon' :\

Re: How many of these do you remember?
I counted thirty, although I did grow up in Melbourne so I may have been subject to different names / looks of the same toy.
And was I the only person who reached number one, realised it was a bike and felt slightly cheated?

Re: How many of these do you remember?
You're a girl.
Girls play with dolls. Not on bikes. Especially not a "Chopper". What are you doing on the Internet anyway? Get back in the kitchen and produce babies.

So you're the guy who runs around with the buckets full of bits and bytes...* wireless they call that.
No wonder I get to frag those people so easilly if they let DM run around with those buckets.
* this might surpass you a tad if you haven't been in my school class.

Re: How many of these do you remember?
MM would have liked the teapot, as playing with it would remind him of the old
'I'm a little teapot, short and stout. Here is my handle, here is my spout"
game, so hecould put one hand on his hip, stretch out the other arm, hand hanging limply from the wrist, AND MINCE AROUND THE ROOM LIKE THE RAGING FAGGOT THAT HE IS
