Classic Toy Picture Thread

[IHaveAMustang]

Blake commenting / posting about rare or classic toys in the Picture and Video post thread got me thinking of rare or cool older toys. My son is due in January so I dug out all my old Lego sets from the mid 80's to mid 90's.

I am assembling everything, then breaking it back down in ziplock bags with the instructions. I'll give him one set every once in a while instead of buying the new ugly Lego's they are selling now. Most of the new sets barely take any type of skill to build, whereas some of these older legos take some good fine motor skills to put together.

Post up your rare / old toys that you still have around.

My progress so far (I was really into lego planes)

I don't have any pics right now, but I have give or take 100 GI Joe ARAh figures from 83-95, and about 20 vehicles, some complete and some incomplete.

I think I had one, it was a bad guy with the chrome skull. No clue where it is now. He raped Barbie...a LOT

That's cool man. I still have all of my old castles from when I was a kid. My daughter and I build together all the time and it's fun. The one thing I would disagree with you on is that new sets are often very cool as well. The only real difference I see is that there are some more diverse parts and the instructions are easier to interpret. Those 80's instructions can be tough.



I just build this fastback out of spare parts a couple of weeks ago.

Whenever I get the chance, I buy collections from kids that are moving on to video games or girls or whatever. Get some good parts that way. I usually build castles or cars from scratch, which is super fun.

I like your style. Awesome to hear you and your daughter lego it up. My basis on the hate for the new legos are the airplane sets and the car sets. The cargo/passenger jets cockpits are just one huge piece, no fun or skill to put together.

And the cars have those stupid fender flares now...ugh.

This set is fuckin' awesome. I've bought multiples to customize and for parts.
