Oh, the happy days of my life Cry

Ninja Turtles is one of the best cartoons of all time.

Somebody remember Astroboy? or G-Force?

Hmm where is Batman and Robin or the Green Hornets with Bruce Lee as the chauffeur?

And yes I was born in 1990 and I watched those shows all the time.

Okay my votes would be:
Super Nintendo
Legos
Pogs
Thundercats
Ninja Turtles
Captain Planet

I can't vote Power Rangers though. My parents thought it was too violent and never let me watch it.

As a toy collector, I happen to have a german wood toy. Its a small wood donkey that comes with a lot of colour sticks. The donkey has a little red circle in the back, and the game consists in placing the sticks one over the other, forming a tower. I lost the box, but both the figure and the sticks are stored in perfect conditions. What I would give to be able to travel around the world to search for other toys such as the ones you describe.

Here's a picture of my trombone player cat, a priceless item of my collection, wich I found in a flea market:

I'm too old for this thread, aren't I?



If you have one of those, then I envy you beyond human comprehension. That is a cute looking toy.

Like with rock music, I feel that the golden age of TV was from the 60s through the early to mid-70s. I wasn't born until the 70s...

This should bring back memories for some of you: Land of the Lost (CLICK)
Okay, so it's cheesy, but it was standard Saturday morning fare for me.

When I was a kid in the 70's, I was biggest on Doctor Who (Pertwee) in reruns mostly, though Tom Baker was great too, reruns of The Prisoner, Star Trek, and The Avengers, and cartoons like Return to the Planet of the Apes (CLICK)

I miss Looney Tunes.... Who didn't watch that?  Those were great cartoons, I wish they weren't taken off main networks and put on some random channel (Boomerang, I think?  I haven't anything about that channel in a while).

From that list, Ninja Turtles, definately.

For me though, little beats Sega Megadrive, The Animals of Farthing Wood and Count Duckula for nostalgia.

Dude, pogs, I remember pogs! That's not what I voted, I'm not sure I can choose, but pogs have just been gone from my mind and my heart for so long...

Not at all, I remember those charming animated things, though they were ancient by the 70s.
