    Agent of SHIELD, Excellent avatar choice. Was that a Museum icon or custom?

      My mom would get me a new one every year.Here's what I remember.
      Pac-Man
      E.T.
      Return Of The Jedi
      Masters Of The Universe
      In first grade we would put our luches on the table at the back of the classroom until lunch time.I remember a girl and I both had Pac-Man lunch boxes.One time we took each other's by mistake and opened our boxes to discover that this wasn't what mom packed for us that morning.I remember other kids having G.I.Joe and Empire Strikes Back lunch boxes.There was another one from around that time I recall seeing in stores.In was Ronald McDonald and the McDonaldland characters in the old west.I think that Ronald was the sherriff.

        I had a Six Million Dollar Man lunchbox and my sister had the Bionic Woman(both are in a cupboard at my parents' house still). I don't recall if we had any other lunchboxes after or before, though...Those are the only ones I remember.

          I had this Woody Woodpecker one. I check e-bay for it once in a while, but have yet to buy one.




          -- then I moved on to the brown paper bag.

            I had the old metal Planet of the Apes box of course! Thank God that Momma saved it all these years and gave it back to me not all that long ago.

              The ones I remember having were Space:1999, Star Wars and KISS. I always wanted to get a Star Trek lunch box but of course that came out before my time. I wanted one in 1975. Surprised that the Star Trek lunch box was never released in the 70's until TMP's box.

                  I had Star Trek TMP, but I'm not sure if I had any others. You would have thought I would have had an "Emergency!" lunchbox, but I didn't. I guess I missed out on them until I becam an adult. However, I did see them in use when I was a kid and always wanted one, but they were no longer available at stores.

                    Here's mine...the Band Aid lunch box. It's about a foot tall.

                          Universal Movie Monsters... Kindergarten through third grade, and I obsessed on that thing at lunch time.

                            The first lunchbox I vividly remember carrying to school was a Marvel one... it had several characters on it, including I think Captain America, Thor, and Spidey.

                            After that, it was a Star Wars one, and then an Empire Strikes Back one.


                            Edit: Just found a picture of the Marvel lunchbox on the net.
                            Edit 2: Thanks to samurainoir, I know realize I had the plastic version of this lunchbox!

                                I had Super Friends, Star Wars and then Empire Strikes Back. After that, it was brown bags. I still have my Empire lunch box, but it is mismatched with my Star Wars thermos.
