anybody remember wanting any of these

omg, taken back to my childhood! Evel Knievel, six million dollar man, tonka truck and a nice wee collection of matchbox cars. I was a bit of a tomboy

haa ha i had both the evel knievel toys and the streak racer from match box if i remember correct the streak racer still in my old closet at my mams lol

might be worth something

in 1976 i was 11 and got a tranny as they were called. transister radio not transvestite to all you younger ones i also got a typewriter like the yellow one in the picture only mine was red. my brother got the evel knievel bike and i bought one from the gadget shop for my OH for his birthday the other year cos he remembered having one too and i tell you i wish i had been charged the 1976 price . my little brother was only 2 but he had that exact garage. i remember my auntie putting her rollers (curlers) in and sitting with one of the hood hairdryers.

one thing not on this page is the stylophone that rolph harris swore by does anyone remember them. i had one and bought one in the gadget shop for my kids for a laugh last christmas and they had a good laugh trying to play it. matthew said for once i had given him an instrument that had him stumped. he couldnt get a tune out of it

I wasn't born but when I was a kid I used to love the argos catalouge and would circle everything I wanted, needless to say that was the entire toy section!!

sounds like matthew and gemma but by the time they were 6 there was nothing left to circle they had almost all of it the spoilt brats

i just looked again and WHY are there no girls toys on there
