Oh man I had the big wheel but I was always soooo jealous of kids with the green machine. My bro and I would have demolition derbys with our big wheels, you got extra points if you drove into the other guy's exposed leg 🙂

Damn.. I know exactly what you're talking about, and I had one of those when I was a kid. But I can't remember what it's called, either. Here's another one: Anyone ever have a Stretch Armstrong?

hehe yeah I had Stretch and his evil lizard man nemesis. I recall that my Stretch lost a light saber duel with 12" Darth Vader. He got impaled through the chest and all his internal stretch goo leaked out. He coded shortly after.

The Muscle Men I'm thinking of were pink and about three inches tall. There were like a thousand different ones, and they came in a little trash can when you bought them. They were da bomb!

Aww come on... no one has said anything about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles yet? I had a giant box full of at least 200 different ones.

And what about the old skool nerf weapons? Like the single barrel ball launcher, and bow, and the best one ever: the spinning arrow launcher... that one was soooo powerful 😀

i had that ..way cool

That was one of my favorite toys. I was so spoiled, I remember being all pissed off on Christmas morning because I thought I had opened all my stuff and I didn't get it. Then my dad does the "what's that package over there behind the chair" trick and I was happy again. I used to try to program it to chase & shoot at the cat.
 
I remember having Centurions action figures, was some cartoon. The dude had sockets all over them that you could snap spring-loaded weapons and crap on to. They rocked. 😀
