Smoke oil! I'd forgotten. Thanks for the reminder. I'll have to pull that engine out and see if it still works. The year after I got the train kit, Santa gave me a sleeker engine that I have used ever since.

An Atari 2600 and a 5200. They still work, clunky graphics and all.

We still have our Magnavox Odyssey. We've got a TON of cartridges for it that we got on the cheap when they went bust.

My parents just dug up my Six Million Dollar Man rocket ship that can transform into the operating table. Oh man, did I love this toy back in the 70's!

Great topic!

I miss Battlin' Tops, and I wish I still had my Rock 'em Sock'em robots. I think I still have my six Million Dollar man stuff at my Mom's, and I still build with Legos. You guys rock.

I collect, so I have a bunch.

I have a stuffed Stimpy doll, of "The Ren & Stimpy Show," that emits a fart sound when you squeeze its tummy! [:D]

I know I'm a sick little puppy, but then I never pretended to be anything else. [}:)]

I have a few of the old-style poopatroopers from back when they painted the helmets and eyes. The parachutes are long gone, though. I also have most of my old legos which now get plenty of use by my 9-year-old son.

My mother recently dug out the Six Million Dollar Man rocket ship that turns into the operating table. I only wish she found my Steve Austin doll so I could play with it properly [}:)]

The coolest old toy I have is a a project i just completed. It is really a new toy that plays old games. It is a MAME arcade machine. It plays all of the old video games from the 70s,80s and 90s (over 4000). This picture is cabinet similar to mine: <IMG
