this is just reminding me of looking through the toy section of the sears catalogue at all the toys I never got because I was the third child and my parents just kind of got tired of buying toys.

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

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

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 (sixteen years ago) link

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 (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
