[toys2cool]

almost the he-man and gi joe sets

[bondtoddbond]

I had almost all of the Micronauts, nothing rare, but the regular vehicles and figures.
The best thing, Mattel Space 1999 Eagle-like 3 ft. long, I still have it.
Mego POTA figures, I do believe I had the solid boxed heroes, boxes went straight to the trash, so I never really had the boxes. My "friends" lost my Batman cowl. I had the Guns of Navarone playset- a huge playset mountain with Marx soldiers. Good Times...

The Atari 2600 was THE big one. I wanted that so bad I couldn't sleep the night before Christmas that year. I was pretty sure I was getting one because I had tried to buy a used one from a kid at my school and my father freaked out.

The other big one would be my first Star Wars figures.

[Nostalgiabuff]

I actually had a lot of toys. I guess I was lucky that way. I had all the Apes line, including the tree house and rock fortress. Many, but not all of the WGSH. All but series 3 of Star Trek and all the playsets. Even had the Aquaman vs the Great White Shark. I also had almost the entire line of Kenner Star Wars. I was only missing a few ships/playsets.
Never did get the Lone Ranger line but always wanted them. Guess that's why I have them now.
Never had any video game systems back in the day either. Family could not afford them.

My Mom was slick. She'd meet me at the local malls after school and let me go peruse the toy departments. I'd point stuff out to her and I'd get alot of it at Xmas. Not ALL of it, but she did better I suspect than alot of parents.

Some stuff off the top of my head:

Eagle Eye LAnd Commander (still have him!), Atomic Man

Mego 8" Batman, Robin, Superman, Joker, Penguin, Batmobile, Batcycle.
CAH Batman, Robin, Joker, Penguin.

Mego 12": Magnetic Batman and comic head Supes but it was in a movie box. I still have Batman and I about lost my mind when I got him. There's a pic of my Mom and me at my Aunt's house and I'm holding Bats up proudly. When I get my new scanner, I'll post it.

More Mego: POTA. The first batch. I desperatley wanted Burke and Urko but never got them.

MORE Mego: Micronauts - Hornetroid, Battle Cruiser, Repto, Antron, Membros, Space Glider, Galactic Defender, Acroyer, Pharoid, Force Commander, Photon Sled, Neon Orbiter, Galatic Destroyer, Time Travellers and some more I can't think of off hand.

Star Wars: My fave was the Sear 3 pack with IG88, Snowtrooper and Bossk. I got alot of the SW figures I wanted and the Slave 1 but wanted tons more!

Shogun Warriors: MAZINGA! My favorite!

Evel Knievel with bike and gyro. I LOVED that thing!

SMDM. I had the first issue with the non removable left arm. I thought it was weird when my cousin got one and his left arm came off.

Yeah, they spent all that money on the other stuff! That's really cool that you had the Trek aliens and the Aquaman and the shark. I've never known anyone else to have a trek alien and you had four (my only Trek megos were Kirk, Uhura and Cheron)!

[Raydeen1]

I had only Spock. lol.

Here's a thought, imagine if we all could've gotten together to play!
