I had that treehouse thing! And I *still* have fashion plates. . .

― Ms Misery, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 13:39 (nineteen years ago)

We had Fashion Wheel in the UK, which was basically the same thing but round and you could twist it so the parts matched up with each other. After much begging, I finally got one (from a Jumble Sale).

I hated that you could only build the same thing over and over again. But I loved how the peices all fit together.

Those lawn darts bring back the smell of whisky and cigarettes on my Grandma's breath.

I wanted Donkey Kong, but mum bought me Donkey Kong II. (still have it!)

I'm so glad y'all remember the chicken thing, too - I was so depserate to have it when I heard about it, but all I really remember doing was playing tic tac toe against the chicken.

― luna, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 16:43 (nineteen years ago)

Also her: http://www.abundancetools.com/images/sscherself.jpg and a few of her friends (of whom I only remember Blueberry Muffin, Huckleberry Pie, and Lemon Merengue.)

I was so happy when Nintendo released the DS...that nintendo would purposefully reference their old Game + Watch toys. Snoopy Tennis was the best.

― dan selzer, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 16:52 (nineteen years ago)

Dan S - what's the red thing you posted yesterday? I'm talking about the one that looks like a telephone. I know that I had one and but I can't for the life of me remember what it was!

Also, anyone remember Herself the Elf? I had those dolls along with all the strawberry shortcake ones.

― ENBB, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 16:56 (nineteen years ago)

Merlin?

― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 16:58 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, that's it! Thanks.

― ENBB, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 17:00 (nineteen years ago)

i kinda wanted to punch strawberry shortcake in the face.

Those spelling games I remember from visiting Houston when I was about 12. The kid (of the family we were staying with) had it.

i think these were american. one shop in byres rd sold them, and i would pester my mum to buy me one. occasionally it worked! i loved the smell of the pens.

We had'em here as well. Well, I think so. Some kid I knew used it during her exams. Had stolen some official exam paper and had scribbled everything on it for the next exam. hahaha

And Donkey Kong! I had that. My parents and I would play that shit for hours.

Anyone who dares to post a pic of My Little Poney, gets his ass beaten for 3093093 hours straight. Those things are evil. I know, my daughter got one for a present and that fucking thing leered at me from across the room.
