Hell yeah! I had a blue Mongoose with the motomags. Loved that bike. I asked my dad to buy it for my birthday. In 1977 he said there was no way in hell he was buying me a $160 BMX bike. I asked if I paid half would he pay the other half. He said yes. I mowed grass and washed cars like crazy to raise $80. Was a great day when I got that bike.

Then several years later it was stolen. That bike is worth a couple grand today. SHIT........

Got it in'68. Wish I had kept it, but when the driver's license came along I couldn't have cared less.

I have an almost identical story but years later when GT was a leading brand and prices were higher.

Banana seat and shifter. They don't make 'em like that anymore. I think the only way the younger generation knows about stuff like this now is through that show Stranger Things LOL.

When I was little you were cool if you just knew someone who had the Flagg.

But aparently along with our super model girlfriends everyone had the USS Flagg.

[PhoenixM3]

I had this track!

 

[CobraBob]

Holy crap you guys bring back a lot of childhood memories LOL. Especially with the Big Wheel.

I had all kinds of stuff growing up that you guys mention. However, some of the stuff I had that you guys have not mentioned include the following:

I remember getting this field goal kicking game. It was awesome until my brother put the kicker so far back he had to whack the S#!T out of the kickers head that he literally broke the kickers leg. That was the end of that game LMAO!!!

Do you guys remember this one? Took like a half hour to get everything set up and then you flip the switch just to watch all the players vibrate in a circle? LMAO!!!!

My brother and I played with our vibrating football game often. Adjusting the tiny vibrating thin pieces under the bases when designing a play, both offense and defense, was hit and miss. I DO remember our player too often just spun around in circles. LOL. Fun game!

My father and I used to have some battles with this hockey game. I was the NY Rangers and he was the Boston Bruins.

Sold all my GI Joes, including most of the original 13, plus 1st and 2nd gen vehicles and such a few years ago. A local 80s collector bought them all. Non-swivel grip wrists, no broken thumbs etc etc. Got $1500 and was pleased with that as I just didn't have the time to go through and sell a piece at a time.

Win win.

GI Joes.

I got a BMX bike at the age of 5 and taught myself how to ride it without training wheels.

I was a free range kid. I did not have many toys but I did have the freedom to explore with very little supervision.
