Got that when I was about 10, was my favourite ever Christmas present.

And mine too. Everyone was getting those hand held games and Astro Wars was by far the best. I think I'd stopped believing in Fr Christmas by then and I couldn't quite believe my mum and dad had got it so right. It was like a little version of 'Galaxians' which we used to play in the arcade. My mates's were all shit in comparison.

I can still hear the music in my head all these Years later.

Just watched it...any old fogies on here know if you can still get CAP GUNS and those rolls of CAPS that went in them....forgotten all about those.

Used to thrash my self silly like any self respecting kid on christamas eve.
The fat white bearded fellow was comming
What used to rock your world back in the day or what used to make u weep buckets of misery ?
We all have a pre-ordained purpose in life and mine was not building toys that lazy bone idle fecking elfs thought better that we should build ourselfs.
Jigsaws mechano sets airfix models lego.
What is the god damn point of giving little johny on crimbo day a pile of bits that he has then got to spend all day tring to reasemble.
Explain the point of making a nice picture of something and then cutting it into 500 bits to put it back together again, madness sheer madness !
I worked on a coat hanger in metal work at school and after 2 hard years of planishing welding and battering you still could not even hang a biscuit on it !
We all have our skills I suppose and I was never a douzer.
Toys that rocked my world back in the day was a johny 7 gun that fired grenades and bullets.
A spring called slinky that could walk down stairs on its own, I shit u not !
An amazing bike called a raliegh chopper or a chipper if you were under 7
A kaidescope that u looked through to see still image pictures.
A pair of doc martins and a wrangler jacket so I could fit in with my piers
And best of all a scalectric racing car set but as usual u still had to build the track.
And an apple an orange in the bottom of your pillow case.
Dont quite know what we were supposed to do with them but the thought was there I suppose.
What were you happy day gifts and what wrecked your world come crimbo morning back in the day or what where your happy memories of the festive period,

spoilt brat

Used to get one of these every year. Loved Mighty Max.

I remember those, I had the snake, the skull and the black thing (spider was it?) Turtles ones were better though.
