      I guess I'll need Jon and Ponch to go along with it!

      Once I finish my Geek room I can put it on display.

        where exactly did you find them? For sale, or like, in the attic? I am envious of that CHiPs mobile I might add.

            I picked them up about 5 years ago at a yard sale and unearthed them in my garage this weekend. (We had moved to a smaller house and had another child so everything has been packed up.) Finally digging through boxes and piles of stuff.

            I'm building out my Toy room in the attic as my wife won't let me display much in the house and my 3 and 6 year olds don't quite understand to not play with my toys!

            (I think I paid $10.00 for everything!)

                Excellent Find. Never knew the chips van had a motorcycle as well


                Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?

                    My God man, it's like you are in my head! I actually have a 3, 5, and 7 year old and have the same problem. I also have a wife who is of the same "banned-99%-of-my-toys-from-the-house" model as yours. Truthfully its not just her though- I don't want my toys displayed all over the house either.

                      It was in the box along with the belt and a busted water pistol. Yellow plastic is identical to the other accessories and there is no marking on the motorcycle. Not shown on the box either.

                      Not sure where it came from but it fits with the CHiPs Van.

                      I get a little carried away and she keeps me in check (Even finds me things on occassion and lets me buy them!)

                      She is a keeper so I have to keep her happy!

                        Great find! I think Empire really made a lot of great toys in the 70s. I even loved their old west action figures.
