Great picture Andy

We used to get a pillow case of presents on Christmas day too 8)


Do you think back then we loved our toys more than current children do?

I find it's hard sometimes to differentiate the nostalgia of now from the actual feelings as a child.

No kid loved his action man more than me, that didn't stop me from burning him at the stake though

That's just tough love!

All my toys went back in there boxes and I never burnt anything, I guess that says a lot about me today too.

I too had a load of Action Man, including Armoured car and the large Jet.

I can remember every single toy I ever had. I even kept a day to day Paddington diary (with pencil) for a few years so I know what I got for which Christmas and birthdays. My mum never made me throw anything away so I pretty much kept every toy (including cereal cards and toys) right up to adulthood except my Star Wars and ZX81 (which were sold to get the ZX Spectrum). I then proceeded to sell off most of my legacy on ebay. I must admit because I kept everything in such good condition and my mum had a habit of buying quality toys in the sales I ended up getting thousands over the years for it, of course I wish I hadn't sold it now!

Classic photos Pete! I only have one photo of me with Star Wars toys, posted it in another thread somewhere. Great times growing up in the 70's/80's
