Earlier childhood nostalgia

[Bronn]

What are some toys and other stuff that you still remember vividly from your early/middle childhood? Like, before your middle school years...

There was a pic of a plane approaching a carrier in the Post a Pic, Any Pic thread that totally brought back my memories of trying to land on the damn carrier in the NES game Top Gun... up up up!! down!! up! down!! I think I was like 7 or 8 at the time...

Other things I can think of off the top of my head:

Ninja Turtle figures

Captain Power

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe

Thundercats

Silverhawks

the NES Ninja Turtles game and how I could never get past the swimming/diffusing bombs level

I also remember the commercials for the Big Bad Wolf roller coaster and how they used to scare the poo out of me... I would run into another room when they came on the TV

I was Michael Jackson's #1 fan at one point in my childhood... I had the glove, the Thriller jacket... and I can remember sitting on the front porch listening to Thriller on vinyl with my portable record player... I also got creeped out when Vincent Price's laughing part came on and would always have to get up and move the needle to skip it... lol

Sticks, we had sticks. And if you didn't screw up too bad during the day....you didn't get beat with them at night.
