Does anyone else remember the dart guns that were rifles, but had a revolver like chamber and you had to pump them up. I think they were made by supersoaker but they didnt have anything to do with water. I just remember they shot really far and were awsome.
Those hologram-stomached action figures reminded me of when holograms were awesome and new... My family went to some mall that had this terrible HOLOGRAMS OH MY GOD store, where everything was holograms. Wall sized ones, stickers, rings, little spinny things that looked like a rotating 3D object that moved. It was crazy. It physically gave you a headache when you walked into the store.
Also, I can't find any pictures of this construction/destruction toy set, where you built up some condemmed building, and then hit it with a little orange lever, and it all fell down? Building blasters or something.
Way back...I mean, way, WAY back, in like, 96 or some shit.
All I know is that it was during the two years of hell/awesome that was homeschooling.
Tycho introduced the greatest Radio Control Car ever. And when I say this, I mean, EVER. They will never top this amount of perfection.
The Tyco Rebound.
Greatest invention man ever made. It is litterally immortal. I know this, because I have attepmted to kill mine.
NUMEROUS times.
For pretty much 5 years straight.
It survived Mud, rain, ice, snow, being stepped on, being completly sumbmerged, pets, CARS, falling people falling pets, cracks, being taken apart and re-assembled, doors, 2 story drops, vicious sister maimings, stabbings.
And that's just in the first MONTH.
11 Years later, I can take this puppy out and give it a spin.
If I ever won the lottery I'd buy a shit ton of supersoakers and water balloons then invite/fly all over SE out to some giant outside course. Everyone gets a hip bag slung over your shoulder that holds like 10 water balloons.
You can have 1 large soaker and a small handgun, or two medium soakers. Then have like obstacles to hide behind and stashed water balloons throughout the 2 square mile course along with barrels full of water in strategic locations for refilling.
no one wins but everyone gets fucking drenched and cold as hell by the time it's all over with. Then we go eat some pizza and throw back some beers at the start point.
God I miss my Legos. I didn't have the regular ones though; alls I ever got was Technic.
All building suspensions and complex steering mechanisms and things that, uh, did stuff. Fucking loved it.
I had one of these super soakers growing up.
I'd go up against my cousin, who had dual Uzis. They were pretty cool. They were battery operated and he had a ton of clips that he'd keep filled for those long battles. But their tiny streams were no match for my SS60.
edit: no nevermind it wasn't a 60. It was the older one; SS 100 or whatever. Can't find a pic though.
So growing up in Mexico, there was one toy line that everyone, including myself wanted. They were the Saint Seiya toys. Back then, the Saint Seiya anime was humongous, like Pokemon level in popularity, and the only thing that might have been more popular were the toys.
Even now I stare at ebay and try to reason myself spending fifty dollars. Anyone else remember this ones?
They recently came out with new ones, that blow the old ones away
Laser Tag never felt right, and paintball is owned by little kids with rich parents. Ive always wanted to do airsoft but my best position of sniper would need to powerful a gun to use, cause a little BB at 480FPS would enter people.

Nostalgia ++
that was my first SS too, then I got a blue one that had like three nozzles.
Triple Shot ? Something like that.
My sister had one that was like a shotgun, with two big barrels.
Supraman on
Sellin my comics. PM for huge list and low low prices. this the is craaaaazy supraman suprasale. All TPBs. over 142 trades. Marvel DC Image.
Super-Soaker tried to make another line of guns at one point I think. Nerf-like guns. I had one that was really huge, pumped exactly like a soaker, but had 3 attachments for the nozzel.
Foam arrows
Suction-cup darts
Ball-zooka
The ball-zooka didn't work too well but it was great running around with a ton of those little discount foam darts, switching off to one of the 3 arrows for a long-distance shot.
Eventually the nozzel broke and didn't attach to anything. Anymore, which sucked.
Then I found out I could pump water into the air chamber and it would spit a blast of compressed H20 out of the barrel. I used it like that for another two years before the chamber got a crack in it and I had to trash it.
Can anyone identify this type of toy? It was one of my favorites as a kid. They came with interchangable weapons that could strap on their backs/hands, etc. There were different colored ones with different weapons like power rangers.
Mertzy on
THE END.

I just realized something.
The original construx came in the same color scheme as the last iteration of the forum here.
or have you forgotten it in your ivory tower, surrounded by your perfectly preserved transformers bedsheets and ninja turtle Halloween masks and all your other precious pretty things

I had one of those. I think they were called VR Rangers. But I'm not completely sure. I think I had that exact same one. He was a great addition to my power rangers. Man I miss those toys.
EDIT: Nope, its not the VR Troopers. But I too had one of those sweet as toys.

When I realized what I had done it was too late. I cried a little.
I...I love you so much right now it hurts. I had a fuckton of those things and they were amazing
Yeah, I still have a whole suitcase full of them. I never had any of the camo set, but I've got a ton of the blue/gray and the black/purple ones.

We had to write our names on them with sharpie to tell them apart.

What the FUCK is Gordon Freeman doing there?

Why yes, I do remember last month.

Best toys ever - thinking back, I had a shitload of turtles action figures along with a shitload of Heman Figures... good times.
do you remember irony

and the totally awesome playsets.
I had so many of these little damn things hooked together, that you could hardly maneuver in my room.
I loved driving my red convertible corvette with yellow interior from the suburbs, into the city to get some fucking Fish and Chips.
the micro machines VAN
it became a playset for my Godzilla toys more than anything else
reminded me of RC Pro Am
Awesome.
Rocklords. I used to love these things.
I think I still have a GoBots VHS around here somewhere.
But I wanna try airsoft for reals
It looks like it'd be really fun.
Gentleman... this is how we kill Superman.
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I had these, haha.
Pretty much just transformer ripoffs.
I mean...they transformed into freaking ROCKS!
