Possibly the best 2 things about growing up in the 80's!

And all the toys that went with them, still got loads of my original gen 1 transformers!

My parents were far too tight to buy me transformers - had to play with my neighbours - thought they were amazing though had issues with the scale on the whole megatron to gun thing. Had some of those Kellog's reflectors too. Damn feeling my age.

My mate down the road had that bike, used to pich it and wear the batteries out in no time. The sega master system with Alex the Kid, still ahve a soft toy evil poddigton pea at home :P and a Thundercats sword that lights up and made sound effects :D My first mountainbike that had RST 281s, crud catchers (the original square ones) and riser bars with a brace to stop them bending. Orange michelin widgrippers. The racoons on tv. Micro machines.
