Taking a trip down memory lane just thinking about some of my favourite toys as a kid besides Star Wars.

Do any of you remember/have these.....

I loved all these toys :D What others toys did you love?

I loved MASK, Centurions, and also my uncle's old Palitoy Action Man Space Capsule, coolest toy ever:

As you can probably guess I was obsessed with space! Don't have any of them any more :( I almost bought some boxed MASK and Centurions stuff before I decided to go for 12 Backs, they're much cheaper!
 
I played with some Transformers in the mid 80's before I got into my skateboarding.
I actually have all of these up for trade at the moment for some SW ships. These pics aren't my actual ones but they are the Transformers I have for trade.

If anyones interested I will get some pics together.

Cheers

That Visionaries and Transformers packaging brings backs memories, altho the Star Com stuff doesn't, strangely! :oops:

Lego, playmobil & matchbox cars.

Yeah I used to play with Playmobil & Lego a lot. Picked this 1976 Camper complete with the family & all the accessories up at a boot fair last weekend for £2. My 3 year old loves it

Lego, lots of lego :D
Transformers brings back memories as well, I remember the cartoon being on the Roland Rat show in the mornings during summer holidays.
I have absoloutely no recollection of the Visionaries though, but I do recall the lad next door to us at the time (early eighties) had a load of the original Action Force figures and I thought they were ace.
 
Visionaries had a cartoon too. Most of the toy lines did. StarCom, M.A.S.K, Real Ghostbusters etc.
 
Strange isn't it though that I remember all of the others but have no memory of that one at all....., must have been on at the same time as something else I used to watch. I'm surprised nobodies mentioned D&D yet either, there were some very cool toys there.
 
I loved Transformers (still do to be honest), Action Force (moreso the Hasbro stuff as a kid but now I like both the Palitoy and Hasbro stuff), He-Man, MASK and Scalextric.

Interestingly I don't remember Visionaries but seem to have an awful lot of the toys.
 
Mine were mainly Action Man, Britains Soldiers (still got mine from when I was young), Scaletrix and and Matchbox MAC stuff

I remeber playing with this.
Captain power was an interactive toy that responded to a video that came with it.
I have few of the action figures from this line.
