    I had that lego bucket! And I remember being distinctly disappointed that I could never manage to make the house on the front of it :(
    (it could be done but was above my building abilities :o )

    On of my friends managed to build a full lego city in his dining room. Police station, FIre station, airport, harbour, space shuttle, glass factory (for some reason) and a housing estate.
    Its only recently I've realised how much his parents must have spent on it all :pac:

    I was listening to fix it Friday on today fm last week and they mentioned these. I couldn't picture them at all until I seen your pic. These can still be got online. From what they said on the radio, the original company no longer makes them. They pulled the whole product range a few years back due to faulty bricks that caused a choking hazard in children.

    There were savage :)

    I hate the sight of them. They were used at work one time as part of a team building/productivity enhancing yoke. People fell out that day didn't speak for years. :P

    I used to collecy old WWF and WCW action figures when I was a kid. I created my own fantasy wrestling federation. I also used He Man figures and cheap pound shop wrestlers and I gave them my own names and gimmicks. I had my own championships, feuds and storylines. Stinkor here from He Man was my World Champion umpteen times over and had great feuds with Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair and Macho Man Randy Savage :pac:

    A Corgi batmobile from 1970. Fired missiles, flame shot out of the back when pushed along and had a blade that sprang from the bonnet. Must be inthe attic somewhere.

    I did but without the cage though. I got a ring for Xmas in 1991 along with The Bushwhackers action figures and and Andre the Giant figure :)

    Before I got my ring a handyman neighbour of mine built me one with a biscuit tin for the base, a piece of carpet for the mat and 4 small brass pipes for the ringposts and elastic twine for the ropes. I made the turnbuckles myself with paper and sellotape. I have a couple of old pics of it which I'll upload soon :pac:

    Are you my brother? :p I had the Bushwhackers and Ultimate Warrior, also made my own ring with some painted plywood, dowels for the corners and them some elastic for the ropes.


  • Registered Users Posts: 51,054 ✭✭✭✭Professey Chin


    Main ones I remember having were hulk Hogan, ultimate warrior, big boss man, Ted dibiasi and roddy piper (the dog beat most of them in a fight :o )

    I always wanted the ring with the spring to launch people off the top rope. Mine didn't come with it :(

    I had all of those action figures and much more :) Anyone remember the old early 90's WCW figures? Here's Goldust before he was ordered by Mr. McMahon to paint his face gold and act all camp :)

    The galoob figures! I remember I had lex luger from that line and maybe a couple others. The lack of movement on them always annoyed me though :o

    Heh, me too. Although I used to use He-man figures and pretend the were WWF wrestlers. I'd try to match up a He-man guy with a WWF guy so that there was some sort of similarity between them. So, for instance this guy 'Tung Lashor' was my 'Brutus The Barber.....

    They weren't all so perfectly matched however. For instance, for some reason I had Meckanek as "Hulk Hogan". Yeah even now I don't know how I made that connection, but there you go.

    Yeah, some well meaning aunt would get you one for your birthday. You'd still feel ripped off.

    anyone remember those slimey / sticky type yo-yo thingies that invaded classrooms in the early 90s?
    there were single colour and would have a ring part to go around your finger - they you could throw the main part and see if stick on a window / wall.
    nice n squishy to touch. Mad yokes!

    found a pic of them here:

    My favourite toys were my Littlest Pet Shop (the original version not the bug eyed freaks that are sold under the name now!!) , my little ponies (especially the pony kitchen and the "family" I got that had a purple daddy pony with a blue mane!).
    And my nosy bear , Dizzy.
    And Char-gs, they were the business.


    Oh and for some reason I had a Commander Riker action figure and he ran the pet shop.

    Of course all of these toys were shoved to the side when the Lion
    King came out in 1994 then all I wanted was toy lions .

    Anybody remember this one? "Bandit Chase" - I remember it being a Christmas present bought in Dun Laoghaire (?). I must have been about 13 at the time and really got some fun out of it. One player controlled the movement of the truck laden with stolen barrels while the other player controlled the movement of the police car. When I say controlled the movement I mean they controlled the 'points' in the track as the vehicles were not radio controlled. The objective of the game was for the police car to ram the back of the truck and cause it to shed its load. Sadly the game was left behind in one of my many moves over the years.
