Wonderful Toys
Anyway, with a few moments spent in Kitchenware, Electronics, Car Accessories and Sporting I spent most of my time in the Toys section. There are cool options for the young and young at heart these days! A few highlights were:
- Nerf air powered rapid fire dart guns (not that new) and a blow dart tube.
- Super soaker with a refill port big enough for ice cubes (that's just mean)
- plush Star Wars figurines
I reminisced about cool toys we used to have:
- Bandit crossbow with suction cup tipped darts that we modified with thumbtacks (Heathrow Customs didn't confiscate these)
- Cap guns especially some very realistic ones we bought in the UK (Customs did take these)
- Super soakers of all shapes and sizes
- GI Joe - I still have these in a box under the house (and they're making a GI Joe movie)
- Lego - lots and lots of Lego
What were your favourite toys?

My remote control cars. I had a 'Jet hopper' first, and then upgraded in 4th grade to an 'Aero-hopper'. That thing was fast!
I always wanted one of those ones with the tank-tracks for wheels, cos they could spin round real fast - but I can't remember what they were called though...
I remember my uncle had some electric ones that we'd thrash around the street at family Christmas. Good times.
Just found some Youtube vids of the Aero Hopper - nice fluro stickers and sweet looking flag on the front!
What about Marble Race?
Or Matchbox racing track that you could suspend from almost anywhere?
How about "Gunnings"? - all you needed was a stick and a large amount of open outdoor space. And perhaps a shipping container to dig under or hide behind or jump off...
yes...and then there was always lego, wonderful, amazing, brilliant lego
Memories are made of these...
