re: Favorite Uncommon Toy

Any of yall have Darda cars? Busted many knuckles trying to stop these. There were German and made really well. The tracks werent though. darda cars

I know I’m late to the game but I used to play with these a lot. I’ve never seen them anywhere.

Yep,I was lucky enough to grow up in a neighborhood with a lot of kids.We played baseball,football and shot slingshots and such.

We used our imagination back then when playing army and we always won.

I loved Micro Machines when I was a kid.

I had the cousin to that, the spaceship Star Bird:

I really my wife bought that for my kid.
The GI joe boat thing was huge.
I think I bought him chopper, Tank, and at time desert vehicle.
He played with it for a year and we sold all that stuff at a garage sale for next to nothing.

That where you look at the wife and you tell her tonight something special for me after she bought that thing.

This bad boy came to school with me pretty much the entire 1st grade

I give you “Snoopy’s Dream Machine”. My Dad got me one while away on a business trip in 1982. It took me nearly 13 years of watching and bidding on eBay to get one. I finally got it about five years ago, in pristine condition. I was actually in touch with the original inventor for several months and go the backstory about how the toy came about and the little details behind the sales and distribution. Neat stuff



Here’s mine in action:
