Imperfection Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 The 'Six million dollar man' action figure in red jump suit.You looked through the back of his head where there was a tiny lens and this was his bionic vision! You also rolled up the condom like skin on arm to reveal robotic workings! Fantastic!!! Collecting 'StarWars' cards from the first movie in 1977.Did anyone ever manage to collect the entire set and create that scene on reverse from inside the Millenium Falcon with all the cast? Getting a Raleigh Tomahawk then a Chopper when i was bigger.Then almost ripping my **** off when i slid forward on the ultra slippy seat and hit the automatic style gear selector on crossbar. Getting an 'Actionman' jeep and trailer for christmas.I treasured this!!! Also,collecting the stars from the boxes-anyone else do this? Believeing that if you mixed 'Space dust' and Coke in mouth-your head would explode. Always playing knock & run on the same door cos theres was the only one around with a musical doorbell... Happy days. :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperfection Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 A friend of mine had the Raleigh Boxer in yellow then upgraded to a green Grifter when bigger.I always remember his Grifter being really heavy and looking back now-it was probably made from scaffolding,but it never broke with the abuse we gave it! It was a great bike though and looking back it was a forerunner to the BMX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncan Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Yup! They were tiny cigarettes in a topless flimsy packet. On the back was a different 'domino'. Can you remember those penny boxes of SHIP 'safety' matches? They seemed to explode violently when struck! FC thats right , we used to get 2 bolts and a nut and put the match heads in between then and make a bomb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Winding your Evil Knieval stunt bike up full speed and rubbing the wheel against your brothers' head. at that and FC's pony story! I drove a remote control car over my sisters head when she was lying on the floor one christmas day, and it got so tangled that it had to be cut out! Score! Also, the mention of Raleigh Boxers has stirred a few memories. I wanted yellow but ended up getting blue, which wasnt a problem as it was a proper smart bike. You could bend the mud guards over onto the tyres and make it sound like a motorbike, that is until your mudguards were little more than stumps.

jojusa Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Anyone remember Mint Cracknel ? Mint Cracknel was a two piece chocolate covered bar with brittle shards of green mint flavoured filling in the centre. By those who remember them best a mint cracknel bar is often compared to be like eating shards of broken glass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
