I have been a big fan of Transformers - although it was well known that the 'Jazz' figure would inevitably break after you transformed him once.
Which made his appearance and sudden termination in the Michael Bay Transformers movie strangely appropriate.
I had a friend who was big into Playmobile and Barbie.
Funny lad he was.
Also the commodore 64 - about 40 minutes of bright flashing colours, a poor quality image of the promised game with some honkey atmospheric music squeaking out yet more promise.
Closely followed by a clunk as the tape reached the end and the game failed to load.
