Favorite Christmas Present Ever?

Keeping tracks clean in a house with a dog was a job in and of itself.

Any of you guys have Stompers 4x4? I had the trucks and a play set even.

[Unagi]

Absolutely had those. Loved them.

We used to put a stronger batter on them. First modded toy ever.

Was just coming in here to post micronaut stuff. I used to tie string across the basement, creating a web of zip lines for the little guys to zip around on. Those wings on the battle cruiser came off so you could use them as a pistol to fire those rubber tipped missiles by hand. Insane.









It's hard to argue against the atari 2600 though.

When I was a kid, I remember for many years getting a "doctor's bag" -- my next youngest brother and I always requested it - not because we liked playing doctor, but because it contained candy pills and we were generally starved for candy.

Sadly that's all that stands out over 60 Xmases. Monday will be what's become the norm - kids have piles of presents. Wife has a smaller pile of presents. MiL has an even smaller pile of presents. My wife records a video she posts to FB saying "poor daddy, no gifts for him."

This is also one of my favorites. I got this in 1979 and it was the last gift I got from my grandfather, that passed away the next year, so it holds more sentimental value than any toy I actually played with. I still have it stored away, but the teeth no longer work.

lol - you mean the pistols slapped on the side battle cruiser could also be used as wings?

[GreenGoo]

Yes, that.

[Unagi]

Yes, that.

Sorry, I only meant to point out how entirely "toy gun" those wings are.

[GreenGoo]

Yes, that.

Yes.
