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

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.

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 (sixteen years ago) link

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 (sixteen years ago) link

Merlin?

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

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.
