[QUOTE="AustinSN, post: 16872211, member: 159453"] I remember this shit quite well, I seemed to always screw it up unless my dad was helping me. I had a stretch arm strong that was probably my favorite non-video game toy, don't know what happened to it but it didn't make the move to our new house when I was 5. This thread jogged my memory. The neighbor across the street had a garage sale, his boys were at least 6 (maybe 8) years older than myself. He was selling some of their old toys. I saw a set of 4 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that were massive, like not fun to play with because they were too big. He wanted $10 for them and I convinced my mom to give me the money. I never really played with them and I have no idea where they ended up. I was probably 8 when I got them. At least 15 years later I went to my parents place to hang out and the neighbors wife came and knocked on the door to help move furniture inside their house. The husband was in terrible health and was stuck in a wheelchair. I hadn't lived in the neighborhood for 4 years, and I hadn't even seen him for probably 10. I walked into the house, he was sitting there and said incredibly harsh "better still have the toys." I was so confused, had no clue what he was talking about but just pulled out a "yeah, I think they are in the basement." Took me like 2 years to realize what the hell he was talking about, and it was those massive TTNJ action figures. They must be worth something now, or they were then for that response. Dude was a dick, didn't say another word, not even a thank you for moving what turned out to be an entire bedroom worth of shit to the garage. [/QUOTE]
