    Yeah i remember the small snap together models. They where about 2 inches in size. You could get planes like a flying boat and dc10.

    Those baking soda subs and boats came after the plane models, just where not as cool as the model planes (something to do with having no baking soda at home to power them:) )

    They were cool I have been scouring the net for years
    to try and get my hands on some of the same.

    The Concorde plane was the Hardest one to get!!!
    And the yellow model was hardest.
    the red/green models were the most common
    We used to go through loads of corney's as a kid eating
    them morning noon and at night before we went to bed
    so we got loads of the free gifts.

    the boats were crap and never worked well If I remember.
    One of the models was a diver.

    Also a favourite were the Black Cauldron dysney Models.
    The Pig Henwen? was the hardist model to get. Even though I am
    30 now I recently bought the cartoon just to have.

    There was a plastic oil rig at one stage for 20p and 8 tokens??
    it would have been around 1986-87 it was the most boring useless looking thing
    ever.

    There was a type of Lego Models too that was better looking than Lego
    cant remember the name it begain with T Tinte? or something.

    The Dinky cars alway made an appearence I got them all but never
    had an interest in them.

    Around the time of the film "Willow" with val kilmer the free gifts started to become crap. with foam stickers card things and cut out animal masks from the boxes.

    As a kid we were never allowed suger puffs and they had the best gifts
    as we got a little older and into our early teens the Wheetoos had the best
    free gifts but tasted horrible!!
