Remember Your Toybox?

When you were a child, your whole Universe was contained within the toys you played with and collected. Obviously I can't talk for the ladies of the 80s, but us lads now in our late twenties and early thirties and beyond still have an enormous hankering for toys from the 80s.

I don't know how many times I've been in a grown up situation, talking about the new exhibit at the Nelson and next thing you know someone is saying "Ah man, I used to have Castle Grayskull and every He-man figure, and then when I went to college, my Mom sold them all at a garage sale for nothing, imagine how much that shit would be worth today." Then someone else would chime in with their 80s toy story.

This blog is going to chronicle toys I find and toys I already have. I'll try to keep to the 80s, but I know I'll wander into other time periods. And if you come across any great finds and want to share them, please be my guest.

A-Team: Action Corvette Play Set.


There are certain toys you wanted when you were younger and never got, then there are ones you had and have lost and want back. This was one I never got. It didn't feature much on the TV show, but when it showed up in the opening credits, it made my heart skip.

Recently I was at an Antique Mall in rural Missouri and came across this boxed Corvette with Face included for a steal, at least I thought so, my wife not so! 

I've put it on Ebay for sale, but I hope no one buys it just yet.
