My mind was blown by a talking Darth Vader money box when I was a kid! Thought it was some kind of dark magic!

I auctioned my Action Man (x2) on ebay and got £88.

This thing was hilariously dangerous

We were so poor when I was young, that my parents gave me an empty box at Christmas and told me it was an Action Man deserter!

As a kid the rumour was that the bins round the back were full of Action Man stuff

And could you get it to do all the stunts in the advert?

 

 

This was more like my experience of this toy.

They were, me and my mate used to cycle over from where we lived to pinch stuff. Hundreds of action men heads with no eyes that you'd end up lobbing at cars.

Talking of cutting edge who remembers this bad boy? Great throwing him from the top of the stairs, literally seconds of fun 👍🏼

Scalextrics. Fantastic. I loved it even at the basic level. Apparently Lewis Hamilton had a set.

Had this as a kid, but blimey, do not look at its value on eBay now.

Also, it was 65th birthday today. (Thank you for your birthday wishes btw). My family has bought me 2 Airfix models to build. I've not done an Airfix model for 50 years but I can't wait.
