I think marcuss is is asking about nostalgic things from your childhood, if so, I remember the Diabalo, balancing the thing on a bit of string between two stick, Hopping Barge and British Bulldog, two un pc games from school.

I loved Weebles as they wobble but do not fall down. The toy I remember most nostalgically is the Fisher Price Tree House (with the little family and dog and the little slide they went down)- would love to know where to get one of those from. Also the fisher price garage was pretty good with the little turn around bit and the swirly ramp to get from the 1st floor to the ground floor.

Sorry if i'm appearing a bit ignorant, but what are, or is, Weebles?

They were over size looking runner beans that always stood upright and there was a song that went.
