Lol the good old days (three brick ramp on the paevment was standard, no helmets or knee pads), we started doing this on Strikers before BMX's where about. I can't believe I survived some of the stacks back in the day. Looking back I think I might have been indestructible.

Matchbox cars ( the only toys I didn't look after - I went through an Evil Knievel faze & used to jump them with my BMX & squashed most of them :lol: )
Playmobil- mainly cowboys & Indians
Space Lego (which I thought mum kept but she gave them away to cousins )

Wish I still had one in this condition, They were a great bike in fairness. Funny to hear that everyone was the same with the brick and wood plank ramps....... Remember taking turns getting mates to lie down so we could jump over them...... :lol: I also remember getting 'Pegs' put on the wheels to do 'Endos' , 'Bunny Hops' and 'Pogos'......

[Chrome_Jedi]

My favs after SW toys were GI Joe, He man,lego

 

[browny]

1 - Gi joe/action force by a mile...
2 - Subbuteo
3 - Starcom (bloody expensive for what it was)

 

[JuniorChubb]

2 - Subbuteo

Subbuteo -o-o-o-o, Subbuteo -o-o-o-o, Subbuteo the champion, the chamiopn game of all.....

Is that how the advert went? :? Anyway I love it

 

[sith-smith]

Mobile Action Command was a great line of toys. I have one of the vehicles left from my childhood collection.

I'd love to collect them again, I had the mountain base in the pic but I think it got trashed a long time ago

I think these toys are quite pricey and hard to find now...............from what I know.

Spoons/TFB

My dad was an engineer for Matchbox back in the 70's. The MAC stuff is the last set of toys I remember getting in the mid 70's before Star Wars Kicked in!! I can still remember sitting on my parents bed one Christimas morning (maybe 76/77?) and opening my presents to find some MAC carded figures and boxed vehicles.

That said I think I have most if not all of the series boxed and carded somewhere. I'll dig it out. I think I even have two boxed mountain bases!!

My favourite non star wars toys as a kid were...

Britain's star system toys (the britains factory was about 5-10 min walk down the rd from my school!)

1:72/76 scale toy soldiers Initially mostly matchbox as I wasn't allowed to get Airfix. That was really annoying as they did far more wars than just WW2. When he left in the 80's I was able to get others, favourite being the Napoleonic Wars

Lego...though to varying degrees. I had quite a bit of space lego. I have recently started collecting that again.

I'm pretty sure Star Wars was my favourite, but I also really liked MASK and Centurions. They were both great toys.

I never had GI Joe or He-Man, but knew plenty of people that did.
