I had TONS of tapes. Got me through summer camp every year. Mike & the Mechanics. Tiffany. Debbie Gibson. Amy Grant. Taylor Dayne. Madonna. The Bangles. Huey Lewis & the News. I think I still have it actually. Wonder if it works?

I was telling my friends (all 80's babies) about this toy tonight and no one had ever heard of it. They swore I was making it up. I feel so incredibly vindicated right now. Why can't we find Buzzy anywhere?

I had one of these to!! I am sitting here dying laughing at all these comments!

Please help! I've been searching forever! I'm looking for a toy jewelry shop. It had everything from necklaces, to earings, and tiaras. They were silver and gold plastic, tiny pieces. They weren't made for barbie, but they fit her. If anyone can help, please email me, I would greatly appreciate it! samanthau81@yahoo.com thanks so much!

This was my favorite toy, when I was in 1st grade my Dad left and in second grade we had to leave our home. My Mom packed all of our toys in plastic garbage bags to move and my Uncle took all of our toys to the dump on accident, this tree house I have always truly wanted back, it along with my love notes doll, amazing how much you can remember your favorite toys!

I wanted this doll so bad, but my parents couldn't afford it. I had a friend who got her. I would want something and she would get it. Her parents had so much money! At least now I can say we're the same age of 30 and I still am told I look 21 and she looks 40. I have that at least, lol!

They will never be like this again. I loved my trapper keepers!

I have tons of these mint on backs. I love them and always have!!!!

I have the AMA one, mint in box and it's not going anywhere.

Just a quick question...I picked one up at an antique store for $5.00 because it did not turn on, took the back off, fixed a loose wire and it works! I read above that some people have had problems with the claw skipping when the grip is opening and closing and were able to fix it by aligning the gears to keep them from slipping. Mine does that as well. Are there any markings on the gears that show the proper aligment or is it just trial and error? This toy is very cool by the way, I am sure this inspired a lot of kids to grow up to become engineers or scientists.

I had one of these when I was about 3, it was lots of fun but I always found it hard to press down, I was obviously a weakling.

I loved Tonka Trucks. I can remember being able to put one knee in the dump bed and roll around in it. Man that thing was sturdy. I miss the old toys.

They still sell this toy in France. I think the little people are a bit different, but the treehouse is exactly the same. Currently on sale at www.toysrus.fr It is called l'Arbre Magique des Klorofil

i have the woodsy house with mama papa and the lil boy and 2 chairs they all still sqeek im actually wanting to sell mine if anyones interested tonnerlover@aol.com

They are called weepuls. We went to the factory where they are made back in high school. It was in Oklahoma City, but I guess they moved it to Blackwell, OK.

Do you remember the cars and trucks that had license plates from different states I think HOT WHEELS made them ,I think they were called FAST 111s I had 3 of them

I just found mine in my parent's attic. We are missing some of the marbles too. I will do some research and also check out the HH Hippos game. Thanks.

My sister had one of these guys years ago. It stayed at my parents house up until a few years ago, and OUR kids played with it. I'm not sure if my Mom still has him or not...He was getting a little long in the tooth...He started mixing up his sentences. "My name is...so sleepy" or "Ru-Ru name is Napper" I think he was possessed!!

I had the orange one (same as the pic at the top) my older sister dropped it when I said she couldnt play with it and one side broke off, I was devistated an cryed for hours(she said it was an accident I still dont think it was to this day, lol). I found a similar kind of updated version of this toy about 2 years ago, it was nowere as nice as the one I had as a child but my young daughter thought it was wonderful, she still has it somewere in her playroom, think I will go look for it, lol

I still own two of the figures with one knife. My favourite toys ever. Who needs santa when you had the one man army figure. JOHN.J THE LEGEND.2

Oh I've been searching for this! It brings back so many memories. If anyone know where I can find one... would be much appreciated!

I'm 40 and i wont let my kids play with mine. I think I liked mine so much because we both sucked our thumbs!

Check out a photo of my Blue Boy Ice Cream Cone Doll in the image section of this site!

Hello Everyone :) I currently have a BLUE BOY ICE CREAM CONE DOLL complete with his hat & the cone necklace for sale on E-bay if anyone is interested. It is a 7 day auction that began yesterday & the starting bid is only $29.99. My E-Bay seller name is Froggrrll. I would love for it to go to a good home. Have a great day :)

i just googled this bc my boyfriend thought i was making it up-i love mapletown so much! ah this just made my day.

They need to sell these again - my parents just moved and gave me two of the dolls for my girls!

I bought this toy for my kids when they were little, they loved it. My husband threw it out and I have been looking for one since then. If anyone know

I used to have a subscription to the American Girl Magazine, which later evolved into "Girl's Life" and the subscription came with free copies of the American Girl dolls/accessories catalogs whenever they came out. Having also read some of the stories, I remember always wanting one of the dolls, but I never got one. They were always pricey and mail order only because there wasn't a physical store anywhere remotely close to us. Today, there's an actual store in my local mall but now that they're so close, I've outgrown them. Good to see they're still going strong. Does that magazine still exist?

I remember having an Alf hand puppet (Alf from the waist up) and he was wearing this red sports jersey made from a shiny smooth material.

My 3rd gr. teacher had an older variation of this. The pot. wasn't soft. He was red, plastic and large. I think his name was Spuds. My teacher was in her last yr of teaching in 88. She had Spuds for many years. We had a wild class of 27 kids and 2 kids got excited and dropped poor Spuds and all his springs/gears popped out of the timer dial on his back when he hit the tile floor! My teacher was miffed. Somehow at home she managed to get him back together but had to use pliers to wound his timer dial. After all those yrs it was our class that broke the poor thing.

I used to roll this stuff up into a perfect ball and then bounce it. It picked up all kinds of dirt and hair. Then it wasn't fun anymore.

This was also fun to smash into the carpet. The colour never out!

Here's a link to someone's page about the Space Raiders toys: http://reflectionsonfilmandtelevision.blogspot.com/2008/12/cult-tv-flashback-82-mcdonalds-space.html and one for Astrosniks: http://bluebuddies.com/Smurfs_Astrosniks.htm

I never had an Atari (had an Intellivision though). When I went to grandparents house I used play with my uncle's Atari...well, if my dad would give me a chance anyway. If I wasn't playing the game "right", he'd take the controller away to "show me how" and then I'd have to settle for watching him play it for the next three hours. When I whined about wanting to play, he'd tell me I was playing because I was learning how to play the game right. This just made me even angrier so I'd tell on him to my mom. Then she would yell at my dad, repeatedly, to quit ignoring the family and come into the living room. Good times :)

I think I had all of them at one time. I usually pestered my mom & dad to take me to McDonald's so I could get the latest Happy Meal rubber toy that I saw on the t.v. adverts. Anyone else remember the Space Raiders line from the late 70's/early 80's? I still remember what these things smelled like after opening the package that they came in. I had a few of these toys and because I was an intelligent child I used to chew on them also. Astrosnicks and Space Raiders is when McDonald's toys were actually fun. You had to use your IMAGINATION to play with them (that's spelled I-M-A-G-I-N-A-T-I-O-N. It's a novel idea, isn't it?).

I forgot that I had this doll when I was a kid. I used to bounce my hand off her hair because it was nice and springy!

I really love Lego, I think I have an addiction though I buy and buy and buy I just can't seem to get enough. They are always coming out with new ones so you have to get the latest but man does it add up fast $5,000 last month and three the month before but man is this stuff cool. I've got to have about 420 kits since I was about 5yrs old and I have kept it all I've got rooms full and I just like to look at it and mess with the boxes and the blocks it really is fun stuff. I just hope I get to keep it in the divorce.

Does anyone remember a toy where Snoopy was on a motorcycle and you launched him with a set of handlebars? I am looking for one for my grandson because his Dad loved his. We can't think of what it was called.

Smurfs was a very cute show. I have the stuffed animal Smurf he talks and comes with a Dvd you can find this at Toys R us

Power Rangers are from the 90s. I remember going to elementary school and the big thing was Power Rangers. I wasn't allowed to watch Power rangers but I was a huge Turtle fan anyway and I still am. Turtle Power!!

Rubix cubes are getting more popular now. I have one and took it apart to complete it. If one of the middle parts break just use super glue to put it back on wait 24 hours and its good as new.

I had one and I have seen them in Toys R us Resently

I adore the teenage mutant ninja turtles. I am 23 and I love them in the 80s to 90s they were great. When it started getting to the new tmnt I was sad by how much they changed them. Wahts with TMNT fast forward? I still collect the new ninja turtles I have all four 12" turtles from the new TMNT movie butI miss the way the turtles used to be.

I had a popples when I was a baby. I loved that thing. I had it until I was 10 I think.

Whey can't toy companies make good toys like this now? I always wanted a pooch patrol dog and I never got one. Where can I get one now?

Pogs came from the 90s I remember my elementary school teacher telling us we couldn't bring them to school. I had tons of those I don't know where they went.

I loved making spaghetti with the factory do they still sell these? If not they should.

I loved play doh I still do its fun to play with. When I was little I did eat it. My mom used to help me make home made play doh when my play doh dried out.

I had pillow fighter and I think I still have him he has a black eye and punching gloves that were red

I grew up on Pee Wee's playhouse I never owned the toys but it was a fun show to watch. I still watch the show my dad recorded them for me when I was a kid.

Thanks to my son. He found this web site. I would love to know where I can get my old jelly belly restored. Also if anyone is selling a blue jelly belly I would be very greatful if I could purchase it for my new baby girl that just turned one. I would love it if I could give it to her for Christmas. Any information would be awesome. email me descoteaux11@comcast.net

My girls had the Strawberry Shortcake dolls, etc. and my youngest daughter was also the Peculiar Purple Pieman on Halloween! We had so much fun putting that costume together, and making her up. I think it was one of her all-time favorite costumes. In fact, she STILL has the mustache we made -- she's 35 now! :)

I would love any Heart Family stuff you were going to toss....my girls and I play with Barbie and the Heart Family all the time. i just bought a bunch of eBay I wanted so bad! I had a bunch of Barbies but for some reason my parents never got me any of the Heart Family stuff though I totally remember it and am buying it up now even though I really can't afford it@

I am trying to find the name of this block-like building toy. They were transparent colored plastic shapes - flat, with one slot on each side. They connected by inserting one slot into another slot. Similar to the modern Dado Squares, except smaller, clear, and more shapes. Anyone know what these were called?

I am looking for one that is in good shape, and still has alot of play life in it. Please contact me at Beohexeares@yahoo.com Thanks!!!

Great memories. Got my NES in '89. I was on that thing day and night. I still remember when I fought and beat Mike Tyson on Mike Tyson's Punchout. I even remember the cheat code for Contra(UP UP Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start). I truly miss those carefree days when all I did was go to school and come home and jump on the NES. As a matter of fact, I don't even remember ever doing homework, that's how much I played the NES.

Does anyone remember a group of soilder dolls called the "Wolfpack"? I don't know if it was some G.I. Joe knock-off or what, but I can't find anything about about them.

I can still remember seeing this toy in an Alexanders Department store in nyc with my grandfather. For a little kid seeing this thing I was stoked and even more so when he got it for me. this toy was the shiz nittle snip snap. I loved it.

Hi - I had these when I was little and now my three year old plays with them. I'm missing the 6 and the 9 - if anyone has them I would love to make up the set again! lindsay.crosbie@lineone.net

OMG! i really wanna track these down for my two girls, its right up my older daughters street! i only had one when i was small, i remember i took it everywhere. eventually dad took me to work with him and i left it somewhere there! (he worked at a big British Telecom place). my dad never found it again!

Adults have alcohol kids had sitn spin. My brother and I would spend hours on this thing. Then ride our big wheels. They dont make these toys any where as rugged as they used too. Someone would make a killing filling this nitche.

Hi folks. My brother and I have been trying to remember what the name of a toy we used to have is. It was a plastic, yellow book that opened up and you could put in sort of "cartridges" but not in the classical sense. It was more like a sheet of plastic with characters on it, and the characters could move. It would travel along a track and tell a story. You could shine a flashlight through it and project it onto a background. My sister thinks it's Storytime Theater, but it's definitely NOT the same Storytime Theater toy they make today. It was Disney-themed, with one of the stories definitely including Mickey Mouse. It might have come with an audio cassette to narrate the story. Please e-mail me at damonius+disneytoy@gmail.com if you know what it is!

I am looking to purchase a fisher price busy bath center for my baby. Can anyone help me?

My mom bought me (or my daughter) the cat pillow or maybe it was a rabbit; back in 88. Someone plz help to identify it. It had a pink bow around the bottom of it. I only have a small part of it in a picture. Where can I buy one?

Our family moved recently and I found a box of my childhood objects. When I opened my Munsters lunch box, behold a troll with purple hair and my green sparkly click clacks. My son was in awe when I showed him "how it's done."
