I'm not a fan of nostalgia, but having a kid & seeing him get really excited about Santa has made me think about cool gifts I got as a kid.

Do share yours.

The evil knievel bike was amazing. Hours of fun.

Always wanted TCR, never got it.

Did get a CB radio one year. 10/4 good buddy.

This was awesome:

(it's a "BIONIC TRANSPORT AND REPAIR STATION" from 1975)

It's funny because all i remember is the blue & white thing connected with the black tubes... and never being able to figure out how it was supposed to go together.
 
Remember this:

I got it when my sister was born so I wouldn't be jealous apparently, it was supposed to be from her but I found it under my dad's seat of the car and went mental when I saw it - He told me to play along and pretend I didn't know - I did. I was 6. ah memories.

This was great until I took it outside & every fecker on my street had a pull on it & it tore. Hid it at the bottom of my wardrobe so I wouldn't get in trouble and it leaked out this yellow goo everywhere...
