    Anyone else see it? James May of Top Gear and Telegraph fame recalled his childhood toy box giving a airing to classics like Airfix, Hornby, Scalextric Meccano and so on, we are of the same generation and it seems he was nicking all my stuff (wondered that happened to most of it)!

    It illustrated perfectly that we never quite grow up. Sniff.

    Mike.

    Roughly my generation also, I enjoyed seeing all that Airfix box art again after all these years. I had every single one of the models they showed the art for. How tragic is that?

    I couldn't get to grips with Meccano but had piles of Lego - used to build warships and forts (for my Airfix soldiers) with it. So much for that Danish designer hippy weirdo's sandle wearing, lentil munching pacifist intentions.

    I always thought that Action Man was just a little bit gay though.

    It covered the toys of my childhood era which was basically the 70s - not really that long ago. However I have had the experience of seeing toys I played with back then on display in the National Museum in Collins Barracks! :eek:
