They used to make these cool orange plastic tracks for Hot wheels cars that you could connect together and I had at least 50 feet of them (wish I still did).
Lawndarts that had metal tips
There where these wierd glass ball things on strings that looked like benwa ballls but for kids and you swung them and they clacked together.
I had a Winnibego made by tonka that was metal and big enough to sit on but my friend lit it on fire and rolled it down a hill >:

I used to have all the Entertech water guns that looked like real guns :eek Then some bitch ass kid got shot because he pulled one on a PO PO(Police man) just like in Die Hard where Al could'nt bring himself to pull his gun and it was dark out so now he has a desk job eating twinkies. :tear
And Transformers, and Garbage Pail Kids, and the 80's.

Yep, I remember garbage pail kids :( and other wierd spin offs that I am sure Mr.Mockery would remember better than me. The 80s where a good time for wierd toy's :) nobody worried about safety :/

Long before Garbage Pail Kids there were "Wacky Packages" stickers. They featured parodies of all the most popular products you could find. I remember collecting them for a long time and I don't know what happened to my collection. Check 'em out though, they were really cool cards:

Yep they look very familiar. It's too bad I didn't keep all that stuff and all my Mad magazines. It was wierd for me when I was a kid because of the age differences with my siblings. My brother was into Easy Rider, my sister was into girl mag's and foofy shit and I was into wierd comic humour so my parents kept throwing everything away when we would move because they thought everything we where into was crap.

If you miss Mad Magazine, you can buy this big CD set for your computer that has like all of the issues up until the mid 90's on it. I used to have it, very cool stuff. It even comes with a roll of toilet paper! :o

my prize possession durring my days in the 80's was my BMX. Id always take it on suicide jumps over obstacles like broken glass and chunks of wood with nails sticking out of it. My freinds and I did the BMX jousting act at age 9, years before jackass did it :/
