Do any of you older folk remember the "Verti-Bird"?

It was this little helicopter on a tether from a base, it went in a circular motion...you could make it hover, go forward and back and also pick up objects.

It was made by "Mattel", sorry I can not supply an image.

I actually found a similar toy at Kay-Bee Toys (a knock off, obviously) 2 years ago that I gave to some friends my age...I'm still getting thank-you's for it!

Terrific thread, by the way.

I had this 6 wheeled thing. you used your arms to make it go. If you wanted to turn you'd have to stop turning one of the handles. That explains why my arms are so big...lol

I loved My Little Ponies! I used to make my Transformers protect them.

"Monkey" doll that my grandma made out of socks (I dragged that thing around by the tail until the tail fell off)

Sit n' Spin (probably the reason I eventually got into drugs)

Click-Clacks (big glass balls on strings that you smashed together until they shattered and caused great bodily injury)

My bike - it had a banana seat, ape hanger handlebars with streamers and a great big basket on the front. Funniest thing I ever saw (to this day) was my dad riding it down the driveway, trying to teach me how, getting a little cocky, popping a wheelie and going flat on his back.

There was also this ride on toy I used to have, but I can't remember what it was called. It was round and had big wheels on the sides that you would turn with handles. If you turned them in the opposite direction of each other, you would go around in circles. Anybody remember this?

I'll think of more....

I remember the CLICK CLACKS! HAHAHAHA!! I had blue click clacks. I also had numchucks

I was too poor as a kid to have a sit n' spin, so I sat in my mothers
spaghetti pot, and used to kick the floor, then put my feet up and spin the pot. I kid ya not!

I had an ol' "Sport Goofy" puppet, action figures (He-Man, Turtles), Matchbox cars, my moms LP's and music videos... (Just A Gigolo being the first one I've seen...)
