Old? Hell, that's ancient  :lol:! Just kidding, I remember my grandfather talking about those days!



There were a lot less people on the planet back in those "ancient" days. I may have known your grandfather ... ;)

It's all relative.

Our two under-18 Playmofriends very likely have no idea what we are talking about.  They don't know a time without computers or cell phones!

Anyway...yes!  The Hot Wheels loop-the-loop tracks!  And the Snake and Mongoose!  I never had the oval track with the super charger building.  My cousin did, the lucky brat!

Every once in awhile I get some nads, & go to eBay to see what one of the Hot Wheels I used to have costs now in mint condition, & weep uncontrollably! I used to have the wild looking surf board hauler with the 2 white surf boards, & heard that one went for well over $2000.00 MIP! I used to roll mine down our concrete driveway flipping or tumbling until there wasn't hardly any paint left on it! I could retire if I hadn't destroyed the toys of my childhood  :(!

At least you got to destroy your toys on your own.  Most of mine were thrown away at some point by mom and dad without ever asking me or telling me.   :'(

Oh, cool!  GI Joes plural?  Lucky dog!  I only had one!  My best friend had a couple of GI Joes.  We had the greatest fun doing battles in the front yard or in the garden.

I had a unit of 7 if I remember correctly. I had 3 of the talking ones with the pull out dog tag, & the color striped string to know where the phrases were! Hit the dirt! In coming! It's when they ceased being fun much later on that the demolition team effects were seen. The accessories were off of the chain for those figures! The large space capsule with astronaut suit, the medic set with stretcher IV set up, navy rafts, aircraft firefighter suit, jungle fighter, awesome!
