okay seriously no clue.
I've looked under Dragon Riders, and stuff like that. No luck. I could've sworn these things were a comic, and or show too.
You'd have a guy on top of the dragon mount, then you'd pull the tail. Which would cause the rider to fly off via helicopter like wings.
See they were like Dragon Warriors or Knights, and their armor had these wings, well to represent them flying, they made them work like a helicopter with the toy.

That Dragon has it's legs wrapped around the black object and has it's hands grabbed on to it, ready to thrust. Look at it, and tell em it's doen't look like one massive pelvic thrust.
It's from those Dragon Flyz toys, A guy sat on top of it and pulling the tail would launch it into the air where its head and wings would spin like a helicopter.
Edit: Just noticed that it may be DragonFlyz instead as they had a crappy cartoon at the same time called Dragon Flyz. One of them had the space.

I was working at a Target when those came out, and I remember thinking to myself how odd it was that mostly teenaged girls were buying those. After I heard about why, I instantly remembered selling out of those a few times and then couldnt stop laughing.
Dino-bots! They were awesome.
Any transformers really. My sisters had those flying fairy things, they were lethal.
Jurassic Park dinosaur toys were superior to all other dinosaur toys it has to be said- the skin texture and size of them was just perfect for a budding dinosaur nerd.
And I know it signalled the end of "proper" lego, but the pirate ship lego was awesome. I used to conduct seaborne raids on my lego castle.
Beast wars was after I had stopped messing around with transformers and started playing with mandollies, unfortunately.
I was the envy of all the local kids when I got Dino-bots (only two of them, Spike and Sludge. Was the stegasaur called Spike?), to the point that one of them dropped a heavy metal girder on poor old Sludge, crushing his hind quarters.

Ah, Snarl, cheers. I thought Snarl was the Triceratops. I really wanted all five, but my mam told me later that she'd had to contact relatives in the UK and get them posted across for christmas, which was a big deal because it was about 1992 or something and we didn't have much money at all back then. So I felt pretty guilty!

Megs rocks, just got the new Takara United Voyager Megs in the mail on Tuesday. Soundwave's my "must have", though. I'm only missing like 3 versions(G2, WST, and Beast Wars).
Are your Mini-cons from Armada? If so, those molds don't exist anymore and some can fetch a decent price from collectors, say on Seibertron.com...
Lock On, now there was a toy. Anyone else enjoy it? We played it a tonne, and had all sorts of extra scenarios devised- bodygaurds and assassins was the best one I can think about. Best played in the slag heaps of a disused quarry for the proper post apocolyptic feel, but beware broken ankles!
Yes,my family didn't have alot of money either,but Christmas and Birthdays were always pretty good.
I also,in my younger years,had developed the means to acquire extra toys and stuff buy using my lunch money to buy candy and then selling it to the other kids at school at a mark up..I could net high as 20 dollars a week at times,which was a fortune for an 8 year old boy.
My younger Brother had Street Sharks...and a bunch of He-man figures,he had a lot of the "mini" GI-Joes as well...but I think the coolest toys he had were these.
I freakin' hated the micronaut toys! some of the pieces where so tiny, and the plastic pieces that attached to metal always wore out after the first time you took them off.
and the spring loaded guns got 2 shots off it seemed before it would jam or the spring would break.

Wow, that's a pretty epic story. Wish I had a birthday like that.
I've had epic Birthdays.
There used to be a place called "Curious Creatures" that would have birthdays. They would bring exotic animals to your house, and have fun with them.
Somewhere in my house, I have a picture of 5 year old Chowderhead kissing a Cayman with a Chinchilla on his head.
Beats me. Maybe laziness instead of saying Lego sets? Maybe that is how they were introduced to it and haven't broke the habit? Maybe not all Americans pluralize it? I'd rather not speculate too much and add to any stereotypes though.
Back in elementary school this, to me and everyone else, was WANT incarnate. Too bad I got it when I leared about Ebay way after I finished elementary school, and further after I finished watching the series

My gun lasted for years. None of mine were metal/plastic hybrids. But you must admit they had a cool aesthetic that few other toys before or since could match.

Does anyone remember the name of those toy monsters that were out mid 80's? There was three of them I think. Each was about a foot tall. I remember that one had a rib cage that opened up. That's really about all that I remember about them and the fact that my parents couldn't afford them. One of my friends said they were the Inhumanoids but I can't seem to find a Inhumanoid with a ribcage that opens up.
Also does anyone remember those toys that would glide across rooms on bright orange zip lines? They were little action figure men with futuristic looking gliders.
Possibly my most favorite toys were the M.A.S.K cars. Man I had and destroyed everyone of them with countless hours of play time.
EDIT: Yes it was the Inhumanoids. I found the one with the ribcage.

Yes,the Guns of Navarone set was great,although the one I had,while essentially the same where the mountain was concerned,featured U.S. soldiers VS Japanese soldiers.
I believe it was called " Mt. Suribachi" or something along those lines and was produced by Marx toys.

Yes,the mountain was molded from a greenish/yellow plastic and the Japanese soldiers were cast so as to the render them in a (in retrospect) extremely "stereotypical" manner IE. very slanted eyes,buck teeth etc.

Your right about those items being worth a small fortune in the collectors market now,i recently did a few searches,just to satisfy my curiosity,as to what the toys I owned would fetch these days,in used condition it was a pretty penny,in good to mint...my jaw dropped.
Now,I was fairly typical boy,so the vast majority of my toys didn't survive my childhood (the few that did bought it in Katrina),but if I knew as a child what I know now,I'd definitely have not as been so quick to blow so much of my stuff up.
The other half of my hobby spending that doesn't go into miniatures is sunk into vintage 1980's GI JOEs. I like the ones that are still in their original packaging because nothing beats vintage toy artwork. And, when I walk into my hobby room I feel like I am a kid again walking through an aisle of Toys R Us.

Here is one part of my 'Joe collection.
Awesome. Awesome.
I remember so many of my friends selling their GI Joes at garage sales when they turned 13 or so...to buy cigarettes probably. I gave mine to my nephews and I think the family still has them. Except for Duke. For some reason, I hated Duke and thought he was just too 'cool'. We burnt Duke at the stake with magnifying glasses and 2cent a pack matches in the summer of '85 in a Cobra Black Mass in my backyard. All the other Joes showed up too late as Destro had already removed and devoured the heart. He was then strapped with explosives which only blew his thumbs off.
How about Buck Rogers in the 25th century? Anybody got a nostalgic chubby for that? I had most of the figs, but none of the vehicles.

My cousin had one of the original ones...the kind you could burn the hell out of yourself with.

Joke all you want about the lemon man, its made of really hard plastic so it doesnt wear out fast spinning around on pavement. Take one of those in th face/balls and you wont be joking about lemons for awhile.

Once again KC speaks the truth,my Sister hit me in the face with hers when I was 7...34 years later I still have the scar.
I blame whoever attatched the lemon in the first place. lemons are usually docile creatures, whomever forced them into slavery must've been heartless =(
I think its because while admiring the lemon, the "evil guy" took some lemon juice in the eye. And being an "evil guy" he made a pact to persecute lemons for all time

As I recall thousands upon thousands of Lemons were forced into bondage and servitude during that era,I can only imagine the intensity of the rage they all felt as they were forced to spin for hours to the sounds of Leif Garret and KC and the Sunshine band...Yes,their rage is clearly understandable,were I forced into the same situation I'd split someones lip as well.

JcPennys and Sears mostly. If I am hard pressed for cash I get the cheap wrangler jeans at Wal-mart that wear out in 6 months for $20.00. What's bad is, the cost of living is supposedly a lot lower than other areas. Out movie tickets are still $7.50 and I am glad they are not $12.00 like the theaters a couple hours away.

Wal-Mart is known for making cheaper versions of the same products. Heck Goodies (owned by Wal-Mart) did the same thing. They had jeans for $20.00 that lasted for a few months, but other stores had the same brand that lasted years.

I get my jeans from Hot Topic. Social Collision Jeans and Lip Service Jeans, comes in all styles and sizes.
Of course it's best to get ones that are on sale and such. See I shop around certain times so I can get $40-60 buck jeans for like under $25.
You never know what you might find, I usually buy Blue/Black/Grey
Kids...
Thank you so much!
I remember those. I distinctly remember the having the mountain fort, even missing all the pieces I played with that forever.
