Your Top 5 Coolest Toys of the 70's/80's

[x-pack]

Ok, so these don't have to be Star Wars. In fact it crossed my mind to ban Star Wars from this, but no, because one of my top 5 is the AtAt

1 - AtAt
2 - Scalextric (Mighty Metros or Le-mans 24hrs)
3 - Castle Grayskull
4 - Optimus Prime
5 - Space Lego

I'm pretty sure this line up could change once I see what others post and think 'bloody hell yeh!'

I spent a bit of time in Germany as a kid & they had this stuff at schools & I had a couple of sets, sort of a cross between lego & meccano, great stuff!,

I know, but where do you stop :wink: So many cool toys back then. Surprised no-one has mentioned M.A.S.K

Never got into Subuteo really. Still don't get it. Remember seeing Test Match advertised and it looked well cool.
