yes I kept a load of my toys too in my parent's loft, I'll never see them again with having a greedy nasty sibling who emptied the contents my parent's home after my Parent's passed away, I'm loving this thread and grateful to have my memories they can't be erasedOMG! I think I still have my little matchbox baby somewhere! I recently had to clear out my old childhood home when my mum passed away and I had kept loads of my old toys and Iβm sure the matchbox baby was in the box

I used to love Subbuteo but it was pain that you had get your mum to iron the pitch before you could play a game.
That was one Christmas present I did get! I loved my Subbuteo. I also wanted a Scalextric but that never appeared. I was such a tomboy
Really?! It's such a shame I chopped all of their hair off. I don't think a single one escaped.

We had both but I don't think they were at the same time. We had a scaletrix that we thought was the absolute bomb. It was an 8 track and I can still smell the burning as I type.That was one Christmas present I did get! I loved my Subbuteo. I also wanted a Scalextric but that never appeared. I was such a tomboy
My brother had a subuteo at a similar point in time. Perhaps a year earlier/later. My input is, they hurt your nails to flick!

Oh I had this!!
My daughter and my niece (both born 1985) were given Quints sets one Christmas. You're right, they were never a big trend but I thought they were cute!
The bus was my ABSOLUTE favourite toy as a child. Then my brother came along and lost bits from it. I never let him forget it so he bought me another one for my birthday one year. It didn't have all the bits but was still pretty expensive , but it remains one of my favourite gifts ever.
If (on the remote chance) I saw one in a charity shop now I think I'd buy myself it just to reminisce
I.cant find mine it was for little barbies barbies sister or whatever and it was like a treehouse and it had a swing and a zip wire on it. I swear it was yellow but I don't remember
But can't find it anywhere
But can't find it anywhere
I was about 28 or something when he bought it for me, I'm single and childless and it's broadly on display in my flat. It makes me smile every time i see it despire the fact it goes with absolutely nothing else I own!If (on the remote chance) I saw one in a charity shop now I think I'd buy myself it just to reminisce
every time I'm in a charity shop I have a look for the missing parts - i definitely would love to build it back to a full set. The first time my nephew saw it in my cupboard he was very confused as to why he wasn't allowed to play with it!
Omg i
that dream phone thing always looked so glamorous somehow, I don't know anyone (in the uk) who had one though!
I had something similar to that top one but casino and grey, I never really understood how it worked

but I ended up buying another on ebay a few years ago. I actually just got it out to take to my mum's tonight - it is still fun as adults & my eldest niece is old enough to understand the concept & rules and she loves playing dream phone with us too
Yet another thing I am going to look out for in charity shops from now onI had a dream phone! I remember going to argos to buy it with my birthday money! My mum in all her wisdom, got rid of it when I moved out

I wouldn't let mum get rid of mine. In our late teens me and my boyfriend (now husband) used to get back from the pub and play it - he looks good what ever he wears, he's not at the mall, I know who it is but l'm not tellingI had a dream phone!

.Do you hate any of the boys for absolutely no reason? Everyone hates "creepy Scott". There is no reason for it, we just all unanimously dislike himI wouldn't let mum get rid of mine.

and if you win the game and he's the one who likes you, you technically win, but you lose everyone's love and respect Matt and his 90's curtains is loved by all
I so, so desperately wanted the Dream Phone! I played it once a couple of years later and it was tit

I never fully got the top one either. I think the ones my friend's had was grey as well.Omg i

The Dream Phone was definitely a thing in the UK. I circled it repeatedly in the Argos Catalogue
