If you are reading this and under 15, when your parents advise you to give or throw away your old toys, never ever listen to them!
All the toys that you have now will one day become geninue collectables.
If you are reading this and over 30, you will totally understand where I am coming from.
Back in the 80s, I grew up with some awesome playing toys.
There had so many good toys and everyone wanted one!
I would actually consider it 'The Golden Age' of Mattel and Hasbro.
We had Starwars, He-Man, Mask, G.I Joe, Ninja Turtles, Starcom, The Centurions, Thundercats, Marvel/D.C Superheroes and so much more.
I'd remember when I was around 10, I would loiter around Toys R Us for hours and hoping they would lock up the store with me inside and I could rip open all the toys and play the whole night.
Didn't care about food or sleep. Those dreams were magical and still are.
I reckon one of my dream jobs is actually to make toys and get focus groups to play with them to see if it's a success before launching it into the mass market.
If I ever have a time machine, I am going back in 1985 and buy all the toys my heart desire and also a DeLorean just like Back to the Future.
Here's the posters to some of the toys that brought happy memories to me.
F word? Fido Dido. Remember him? He was alright too :)
