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 I’m sure the matchbox baby was in the box
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 tomboyI used to love Subbuteo but it was pain that you had get your mum to iron the pitch before you could play a game.
Really?! It's such a shame I chopped all of their hair off. I don't think a single one escaped.There’s a big market in vintage Sindy, some of it going for a fortune
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
Oh I had this!!This was my absolute favourite toy for a long time ... Fisher Price Tree House. Though mine was definitely in the '70's .

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!Does anyone remember Quints from the early 90s? I loved them and my best friend at the time had them too. When I ask around though, not many remember them. I don't think they were ever 'huge'
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.I loved thT teapot, did anyone else hVe the double decker bus? Think it was made by the same company
If (on the remote chance) I saw one in a charity shop now I think I'd buy myself it just to reminisceThe bus was my ABSOLUTE favourite toy as a child.

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
I had something similar to that top one but casino and grey, I never really understood how it worked
I 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 outOmg i
I had something similar to that top one but casino and grey, I never really understood how it workedthat dream phone thing always looked so glamorous somehow, I don't know anyone (in the uk) who had one though!
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 outbut 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
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.

I so, so desperately wanted the Dream Phone! I played it once a couple of years later and it was shit
I never fully got the top one either. I think the ones my friend's had was grey as well.Omg i
