Death Star, surely. 

It is! I had the 1990’s one... in fact I still have it. Some mad collector bloke told me complete with all of the bits it’s worth £200 of the queens... which is probably bollocks but a fun ice breaker none the less...

Aparently Hornby model railways made a profit this year for the first time in ages... Saved by Covid

This was my favourite for about a year.. Press a button and his head lit up from inside. I called him Scorpio but the internet tells me he was something from Major Matt Mason which I've never heard of....

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.

Happy Birthday @Parafox, hope you've had a lovely day

This bad boy. Like most toys it didn’t quite live up to the Tv advert

I had loads of Airfix planes and a couple of Airfix warships in my bedroom. One day while I was at school my mum

decided they were too dusty and that the quickest way to clean them would be to put them in a bath of warm 

water. It didn’t end well.

One of those things everyone wanted, but then you went round a mate's house who had one and realised they provided, at best, 15 minutes of entertainment and then were quite pleased that your parents were too tight to get you one.

 

Then your mate would program it to drive into the wardrobe, never to be seen again

I saw one once at a mates...but he didn't have the trailer accessory so couldn't even deliver an apple to his dad on the sofa.😟

That would have guaranteed at least another 5 minutes of fun, shame

I think I’ve still got my Tracey Island complete with all the Thunderbirds at my mum and dads in the loft. Wonder if they’re worth anything.

Not technically a toy but being woken by Alpha 5's voice was mind blowing to me as a kid so it kinda fits the theme.
