    I proudly carried the POTA one to school every day. I have a whole bunch of my stuff still from when i was a kid.... but sadly, i have no idea where my POTA lunchbox is, or if i even still have it. It was probably used so much that Mom tossed it when it got too rusty .

      Cool, they were well made then. Now it would just be made of a cheap breakable plastic.

        The same thing happened to me, I had a power rangers serving tray when I was five years old. I have everywhere for it, but I have never been able to find it.

            I had two lunch boxes . . . the Evel Knievel one previously mentioned and this one: Auto Race Lunch Box
            I loved this generic lunchbox becuase of the game on the back. I recently acquired one that had all the parts. Very cool!

              Where can you buy the replica lunch boxes?
              Oh, repro boxes can be found all over the place. The Tom Corbett one I have came from Wallmart. The rest of them, (except for Land Of The Giants) came from cataogs. Land Of The Giants came from Amazon.com.

                      I have a mint Space:1999 box, a Mint Star Wars box (lacking the side illustrations) and a Mint Bionic Woman box that I came across in the mid to late 80's at a mom and pop drug store (it was probably brought out from storage for back to school season year after year).

                      I used to have a mint KISS box but I sold it when I needed a quick buck. I need to get that back!

                          I still have one metal lunchbox from back when I was a kid (yes, I carried it to school). I know this is dating me but it is a Fireball XL-5 lunchbox. The thermos is long gone but the box itself is in beautiful condition. Just some minor scratches.

                          I loved those Supermarionation shows as a kid. Supercar, Fireball, Stingray, Joe 90, Thunderbirds . . . cheesy by today's standards but pretty damn awesome back when they were new . . .
