1980 Fisher Price Adventure People Catalog

[brannon86]

I had many sets of the Adventure People. I loved the sets that had the scuba divers, not just with the zodiac style boat, but all the sets having to do with scuba. I also had the Trail blazer set with the jeep and canoe. Many hrs of fun back then.

Yeah those vehicles were tough I'll have to look to see if I still have my Safari Jeep.

I had the Helicopter at bottom right. It became a space fighter plane after I ripped the rotors off the top.

Yea, these vehicles did take a beating. We always tied strings to the boats and vans. After a good rain and there was water in the ditches, look out! I can remember running up and down the ditches pull my shark boat. The submarine and deep sea diver set made great bath time toys also.

Anyone else still have any adventure people from their childhood? I love hearing these stories!

[Spawn67]

I Loved these when I was a Kid. I had pretty much all the sets except for the space ones. They fit in well with my star wars and gi joe figures. Pretty much all throughout my toy playing years I had them. I still have some and my niece plays with them all the time. I tell you what those jeeps and vans took a beating from me and they NEVER broke and still look new to this day! Unlike todays toys they were built to last. The adventure people were a HUGE part of my childhood just as much as Star Wars and Gi joe. I loved going on my parents roof and throwing the parachute off of it! Great Post!

I love the space line. They got some great card art.

Never saw that before and on June 14th one was on ebay for 4.99 but it did not sell. However it was missing the entire kite/glider section (the auction had everything else)

ok here is another current auction that has everything and the box with a BIN price of $195.00

I added it to my "watch list." I've seen these before on ebay, but the price tag is high, for something that I would want to play with. And, the fact of the matter is that all of this Fisher Price stuff is nearly indestructible, so, you would, probably, be able to play with this like it were made yesterday without any worries.

I loved all of the SCUBA stuff and the boats. Also, I played a lot with the parachute dare-devil. That particular parachute still exists. I also had that Van with the moto-cross, kayak, etc. The rescue truck with medics was also great fun. In fact, almost all of the line was really great.

I wish I would have had the Sky Surfer, before it was recalled. It looks like it was lot of fun. However, they didn't recall the glider pilot, who came with the set. I had one or two of that figure. Back then, I wondered what he was related to (or was from).

you can pretty much sell whatever you want in the marketplace. if you look a good chunk is not Mego. Just post some pics of your plane and write that you would sell or trade, etc

Ok, thanks for the help.

[B-Lister]

I would pick more of this kind of stuff up if I knew I could move it. I don't care for it personally, but I like to pass a good deal on to you guys. But if I knew somebody wanted it, I would happily be the middleman.

I deal mostly in what I collect so if I can't move it, I can enjoy it myself.

[mazinz]

I bought a few sets there loose and used but satisfying.

BTW I have an extra yellow plane from the Wilderness Patrol that I'd like to sell or trade for Lego. What is the best section on this forum to put an ad? I know there's the megomarketplace but as it's not Mego...
