The toy you were never: bought / given / allowed / saved up for / always wanted.

Yeah i had the original box in my hands just an hour or 4 ago at my folks house when i was rummaging the attic for some stuff for the little one. The original figs are lying here.

Never throw away something good :p

Awesome...I would love a find like that.

They HAVE to be EVERYONE'S default.

Did everyone also know the jammy bastard who had one or more these?

OMG so many happy memories have come flooding back . I always wanted a JCB toy that we called "a bucket on the front and a bucket on the back". I used to see it in Eden Lillies in Cambridge but sadly it was too expensive .

For me it was



when I was 8 or nine (1961/ 62).

My cousin had umpteen of these and I was desperate to get the Graf Spee which I thought looked really cool. Eventually got Achilles as a consolation because I got chicken pox and couldn't go to some show with my sister and cousins. Would far rather have had Achilles and chicken pox than go to the show tbh.

Never saw these.

I did have a massive collection of Airfix waterline models that my brother and I used to play with.  The "rules" were:

Main gun: 12" or bigger you rolled a "dobber" (fat marble) at the enemy ship.
Ancillary gun: 6"-12" you rolled a marble at the enemy ship.

Battleships could take 3 hits
Cruisers 2
Destroyers 1

I had completely forgotten this til I saw your ships

Flight Deck and Evil Knieval....

Bought both of these as an adult off flea bay at bargain prices and was massively disaapointed at how sh*t they were....

Not everything from childhood was as good as my friends made out!

In my younger days, I always wanted a Scalextric set.
My better half got me one for my (I think) thirtieth birthday.....Better late than never.
