[crday98]

this one is for the older crowd:D
what are some of your most memorable x-mas gifts you got from when you were a kid or always wanted and never got?if anyone of you say a red ryder bb gun.... i'm gonna kick you in the nads!!!!!:d
they don't have to be big or expensive just that they are the first that come to mind when you think back;)
some of mine would include;
US1 electric trucking,those fold up matchbox cities that would fold out into a city and a farm,anything dukes of hazzard (but the barnyard buster sticks out of them all),all of the M.A.S.K. & transformers vehicles,stompers,the large "talking KITT"car from knight rider,tyco turbo hopper and midnight pumpkin r/c's,the big black n gold tonka bronco that came with a jack so you could change the wheels,four on the floor truck,the matchbox car carrier that had the direction buttons you could press on the top of the trailer roof,underrooos:huh ,the giant die-cast voltron robot and clyde's car crusher(ah,i could still hear the commercial in my head:D

This goes back to the transformer days.

Yeah, Verti-Bird! I was gonna say that. And remember Smash-Up Derby? Those toys lasted for YEARS and were still working when they got sold on yard sales. How many toys can you say that about nowadays?

i remember one year i asked for a remote control car for christmas quite along time ago and my parents were seperated at time and both bought me one. So when it came to christmas eve i opened my moms, said cool and u know how little kids are: "Oh man, this thing is awesoommmmmeee". so then i opened another present and saw another car, took it out and being a little brat i was like, "MOm dads is so much better that yours, yours succks".

Man was that fun. Oh yeah it was a kick *** car too...

wow how did forget the infamous blue, yellow and red bigwheel?
i rember the fringies hangin off the bars and the ole 3-way yellow siren mounted on the center of the bars so i could be just like a cop on C.H.i.P.s:o
i also forgot the stretchable bionic man that had the jelly-like substance inside him if you cut him open and the evil knevil stunt cycle with the wind up ramp:blah:
the sad part is i think we had more fun with those simple toys back then than the kids do these days with the more technology advanced stuff they have today.remember when you had to use your imagination and dig a hole to pretend you were an army man?now you have to turn on the x-box or ps2 to do such a thing:eek2:
