I was doing some xmas shopping today and some old toys popped up in the process. Stuff from the 70s/80s looks so dated but had some fuzzy feelings brought back from childhood.

I played with this for hours


There were also these bubble bath packets that turned your water pink, blue, green or yellow. I'd never use the yellow and I hid the packets. My mom found them and said she wouldn't buy me any more until I used what I had. I burst into tears and said I feel like I'm sitting in a tub of pee. She tried making me mix it with the blue to make green but I didn't want to wreck the blue so I'd mix it with the green. I wish I had a box of them now.

I desperately wanted a neon phone when I was in about 6th grade.

God those water games were hard.

Nerf guns. I'm not sure why I didn't keep playing with them my whole life though. Plus, less chance of a murder charge with them.

that fuckin' marble game. not the marble run thing--though that was fun (as an adult).

not stay alive, although that game was sweet, too.

the game I am thinking of involved marbles with a ring around them and you had to sort of throw them down a lane. FOUND IT:

Electric football sets. My friends and I played all the time. Actually ordered a couple of extra teams and rookie bases for "league" games.

That ping-pong ball basketball was kinda cool. I remember being upset because I asked for Dr. J's game and I got some schmo named "Julius Erving."

Watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer every year .

First pair of leather gym shoes I got were Conversed. Around here everyone called them Dr. J's . When I got to SportMart in Calumet City and asked for them, the salesperson had no idea what they were.

I'll STFU after this, but I liked the USA-USSR one they had at Showbiz Pizza.

PS--why are their hooves in the top right of the photo? Is Pan playing?

We had that! That was a fun game.

Was the other marble game you were referring to KerPlunk?

I still love all the Christmas shows.

My wife bought one of those as a gag gift ten years ago, played with it at a family get together, then went and got another one and the basketball one.
