I wish I still had mine. Mum gave it away to some undeserving little shit and then fell out with his parents. I never go it back.

Man now you're getting me started. Here's a challenge...

There was an old plastic toy set that basically consisted of a track, a batter powered truck, and loads of little plastic balls. The truck moved around the track and picked up different 'cabs'. one was a digger, another was a dumpster... and it would move around and transport the ltitle balls across the floor via this track, and drop them off in hoppers and shit.

One of the hoppers had this section where the balls were tipped out at the top, then ran down a zigzag path to be collected at the bottom.

The thing was awesome. Came in different colourscheme later on but the original was gray and orange.

That reminded me of this, the multi story car park toy:

That was so fucking cool. The lift worked and everything. There was even a car wash!

Post by **losCHUNK** » Mon Dec 05, 2005 12:08 am

fuck man, thinking back

how much did matchbox car toys rock ?

you could use them as toys and weapons

Post by **Foo** » Mon Dec 05, 2005 12:08 am

Never had that one. Had another but it was a single big chunk of plastic and had a bell on the lift.... Could never do much with the cars on the middle or lower though cause it was cramped... but you could send cars down from the top.

I used to have one of these:

and the amount of shit i used to put it through was incredible, it lasted for fucking years till i drove it through into the sea and rusted up the motors.

Post by **Foo** » Mon Dec 05, 2005 12:21 am

Friend had one of those. It was the fucking bomb.

Tracks always used to come off though.

Post by **phantasmagoria** » Mon Dec 05, 2005 12:25 am

I melted the tracks on mine so they were tighter

Post by **losCHUNK** » Mon Dec 05, 2005 12:28 am

i knows you all had one of these

Post by **vesp** » Mon Dec 05, 2005 12:45 am

Brio was the bomb... Got some for my godson's birthday and it was such a hit

Little fucker wouldn't let me have a shot

hm.. on the topic of old toys. Does anyone remember of a set of plastic figures and vehicles where a lot of magnets were involved (like on the soles of feet etc). I seem to remember the scale of it being somewhere between lego and playmobil (in terms of the figures).

also... Manta Force anyone?

ah man.. childhood days :icon30:

Shit, I had one too. The battery sucked though. Or maybe mine was the 6.0 volt...
