had a bit of a rummage in the loft yesterday and found/remembered loads of the things mentioned so far in this threadThings I've still got:
200 in 1 electronics kit, same as Rob's
Lots of scalextric. Did anyone else take the braids apart and put single strands of wire between the rails? They'd glow like a bulb filament and melt any of the plastic track they happened to be in contact with, before burning out.
ZX Spectrum 48k and loads of games
Several sets of Top Trumps including both Horror packs. Must have got hundreds of hours of play time out of those buggers.
Other stuff that's probably been chucked out:
Obligatory mention of Lego, etch-a-sketch and Transformers.
Also had Simon, Little Professor, Game of Life, Zoids and others.
Probably the biggest thing not yet mentioned was a big air-powered toy which consisted of a hand operated pump and an assortment of tubes and connectors which could be made into a track that went all over the floor and up the walls etc. You put a little rocket like thing inside the tube, pumped like mad and it would shoot round at a kajillion miles per hour. Can't remember what it was called and google isn't helping either.
Anyone want to buy some scalextric? :P
