Going to the movies when I was a kid.  It was an exciting event, not some forgettable CGI shit show.

We were 70s/80s kids (47 now), and we still did then. Most did, anyway.

Yep. We're the same age.

Metal toys

Yes x 1000

I was cleaning out my dad's house today and found some old toys in the basement - the micronauts were fucking awesome - this guy had metal / magnetic parts, solid as shit - and the missiles actually shot small pieces.  Found a bunch of other metal stuff - most pretty ruined though.

Metal toys

Every toy I buy my kids is some cheap ass plastic that breaks as soon as you drop it.

My all steel Voltron force set weighed about 10 lbs when fully assembled. 


Also: toy guns
They don't even make normal guns with orange barrel tips anymore....the "guns" now all resemble some alien laser pseudo gun....and they're usually colored purple too

Fuck that, go to a truck stop or some western attraction.  Plenty of good old fashioned cap gun cowboy pistols.

Thank you! Thanks to the interweb we have access to good stuff, but most places still use 'old school radios' :-\
Another nice and new one is Metal Detector

My childhood friends.

They all live cross country and I rarely see them but met up a few weeks back and had a blast.  I become a completely different person.  Just a goofball with them.  Life doesn't seem that serious or stressful, but I guess if I lived near them I wouldn't have the money I have now but is it worth it?

I actually ask myself this same thing from time to time.

I'm not really sure of the answer myself.

I have the black ones, plus all the battery powered robots (Biotron, etc..)  Some of the metal pieces weakened and broke off, but they all still function.
