Just found out that if you have one now they are worth £200.

Had one also but ended up not in great condition. Also had one of these...

I used to spend ages looking through this Airfix catalogue and dreaming of owning the dearest model kit available. I think I actually spent longer looking at the catalogue than playing with the army of toy soldiers or the Panzer mark IV (short barrel) tank battalion that I had.

Did anyone else have a Boglin? I once stuck it round the door to frighten Marmalade (the cat) and he went ballistic. Tried to attack it and then realised it wasn’t a living creature.

Had an Airfix Messerschmitt ME 109 and a Spitfire with invasion stripes on the wings hung on my ceiling looking like they were in a dogfight as a kid.

Has Oakie been on yet to tell us about doing cave paintings with flint and woad?

Bloody dinky again with they're god awful colours. Who on earth thought it was a good idea to paint them random colours.

Kerplunk was a brilliant game and etcha sketch was really good too

I could spend hours trying and failing to draw the perfect diagonal line on an etch-a-sketch!

It was 1966 England had just won the World Cup, my Grandma and Grandad had been on Holiday to Great Yarmouth and they bought us a Rugby ball? Denton isn't really known for Rugby but the kids in our Grove had a brilliant few weeks knocking fuck out of each other, happy days

Had one as a kid and our cat had exactly the same reaction! Cleared out some old stuff recently and it sold to a toy museum in Los Angeles for £60.
