    Beyblades are tight if you launch them at each other and have Beyblade fights.

    But we did watch a lot of the Fat Albert cartoon show growing up.

    seriously though metroplex was pretty awesome

    did you know that the first four sets of combiners

    the aerialbots and stunticons and stuff

    they could actually dock with metroplex for unknown purposes

    I was only able to get two of the Constructicons, although I think they were too early to dock with anything.

    We used to merge them to form Devestator's leg and crotch, and then he'd kick over autobots and stomp on Thundercats.

    I cant remember what they were called but I also was way into the collectable figures that came in a bag. You put the bag in water and it disolved and your little monster thing was "born" or whatever. They came in one per bag and you didnt know what you got until you opened it.
    Ah turns out it was the Trach Bag Bunch:

    Pony next birthday party you are inviting me over to play with your toys.

    And with Deemer.

    Oh man I need to get all of these back:

    cats_lair_box_toy.jpg

    CatsLair1a.jpg

    That shit was infra-red sensitive - you could make the head move on the cat's lair and if it hit the sensor on the bike the rider would get tossed off.

    My brother had the Thundertank, but it was critically damaged when we threw it down a flight of concrete stairs.

    I think the fact that they ate pizza was actually a huge draw for alot of kids. I knew for awhile my favorite turtle was raph just because I saw a picture of him eating pizza off of one of his sais and that was just the greatest shit ever.

    silicon stew your sig is incorrect

    you're assuming that there is a completely even distribution of intelligence across the board

    and that the "average" would be directly in the center

    now, if you said that half the people you meet are below the median intelligence you would be correct
