Favorite old toys

Eddyj · Dec 19, 2020

I’ve noticed a lot of retro toys out.
what did you weirdos play with?

I had some Mask toys I’d like to have to pass on to my kids.

I miss the little Stompers trucks. No batteries just pull them back and let them go. Mud,water upside down they didn't care.

I always wanted to make RC 4x4 that size.
I had an office job. I would have crawled the heck out of my desk

Ertl die cast farm equipment, and replicas of construction/ mining equipment. Probably why I got into quarry work for 20 some odd years!

there are actually good 1:24 scale crawlers out now, axial, koyosho, element, etc. full proportional controls and "real" drivetrains and suspension like a larger scale rc crawler.

like you said, a desk/coffee table with some coasters, books, and a couple random other things makes a full comp course

my favorite toys were hotwheels and matchbox cars that were "real" cars. I didn't like all the fantasy/cartoonish cars

Ertl farm equipment, battery powered Stompers, Legos and mostly OUTSIDE!! Get out of the house! Play in the dirt

And lots and lots of Hotwheels

I still have probably every toy from my childhood. I played hard but still took care of my stuff. The attic at my parents is full of all the toys. Probably worth some money these days

Got a ton of miles on these. Definitely get outside and get dirty. Looked at my radio flyer and the tires are bald lol.

Eddyj · Dec 19, 2020

I was a lego pirate man myself

SkinnyPedalRacing · Dec 19, 2020

I had several Stompers back in the day. We would glue several rims tires together!!

Justin got one of those. It's neat for a few minutes to piddle around with on your desk. But I got bored with it really quickly. Maybe since it's a full body c10 ...

Lego's and TMNT. All day erryday. My home office is in our bonus room and we have most of my ninja turtle stuff out for our kids to play with. I secretly sit up here and play all day.

Zjman · Dec 21, 2020

Man my first stomper was epic. I cranked that bad boy up and stuck it on top my sisters head. Those brand new sticky’s wrapped her long blond hair up till it powered out lol. Nothing like a ass whooping on Christmas Day thumb.gif

j-mox · Dec 21, 2020

Ohh man the Stomper stories! Guess I wasn’t the only one because I also did the put in sisters hair and also glued tires together! I had a pull sled set and glued tires together and made duals in back and wired up a 9v battery to it for more power! Burned up a motor or two but it was a pulling machine. I will have to take some pictures when we go down to parents on the 26th and post them up

Stomper vehicles are bringing good money on flea bay.

xjmarc · Dec 22, 2020

Legos, Stompers, Rough Riders and GI Joes were my go tos but Hot Wheels and Matchbox probably got played with the most.

jeff150 · Dec 22, 2020

I shot a lot of Indians and bad guys with one of these.

muddinmetal · Dec 22, 2020

That is exactly what I was about to say! Lots of digging, "exploring" in the woods, finding stick guns, and beating up trees

There are probably dozens of saws and hammers in the woods by my grandparents house from all the tree houses and forts.
Forgot to mention my bb guns, I wore some squirrels and birds out with those.

Zjman · Dec 22, 2020

Man I probably went through 100lb of nails/screws building tree forts and hideouts. These kids have no clue what their missing

Eddyj · Dec 22, 2020

One of my most memorable beatings came from building a fort in the woods. Took my dads tools to fort. Went back the next day and they were gone.

Stompers and Legos. Had my Stomper semi pulling a Lego trailer with Stomper pull trucks! Trailer complete with sleeping bunk in front, tool boxes underneath and drop ramp on the back. Made a tractor also with “loader” and bushhog
