[Louise]

Lolly sticks??? I use to use playing cards.

 

Have any of you heard of Micro-naughts? I had loads of these when I lived in Hong Kong. Kind of like early Transformer type things but different.

[Louise]

not heard of then ginge, i dont think

 

do a google and see if you can find a picture and then i will tell ya

[Ginge]

I found this.

 

 

I had this one...oh the memories.

 

 

They look so crap now but it was the late 70's / early 80's. You could take them apart and re-arrange the parts to make completely different vehicles.

 

Between my brother and me we had quite a big collection.

[Louise]

nope i dont reconise them

 

i was lego mad when i was a kid (till you tread on the little b*******ds ....painfull)

[Ginge]

I had a MASSIVE suitcase filled with lego...the old stuff, just the bricks...none of this technic lego. I also had flat green lego tiles for building houses and several different lego roof tiles, windows and wheels.

 

Had shit loads of Action Man stuff aswell...original stuff, eagle eyes, real hair, beards, tents, working radios, vehicles, etc, etc. Gave it all away to a friend when I was 16. (probably be worth a small fortune now)
