My wife's aunt/uncle have a playroom filled almost exclusively with 90s toys. Our kids love them and they're indestructible.

My mom is pretty much a hoarder but also psychotically organized which works out well for this scenario

Sun God Jr has basically every toy me and my siblings ever had at his disposal

Played with this bad boy the last few times we visited

I had the Marauder, one of my all-time favorite toys. Before that I had a Johnny Eagle M14 with spring-loaded bullets.

I was given a toy howitzer in the 70s. It had plastic artillery shells that you could load it with.

Still have that Death Star in my parent’s attic. The gun piece has been long gone tho. Have a millennium falcon too.


Mine is long gone. I remember the pieces of trash from the compactor were made out of foam. My cat stole all of them out of the playset and hid them around the house. Found some when my folks moved 10 years later. ??

The board game RISK always seemed to bring out the best behavior and manners amongst the participants

I literally had this in my hands a couple of days ago at Barnes & Noble for family Christmas board game night but bought one of those card games instead. I'm already regretting not getting it.

Don't let nostalgia fool you into thinking that the game is actually fun by today's standards.


The idea of it was probably better than the actual toy. It was great having miniature figures that moved on a little football field. I spent hours coming up with leagues and schedules, only to watch them go in circles when I actually played.

We had an old school Risk game that was tiny painted wood blocks instead of the plastic pieces. Wish we still had it.

Do they have an old school record player? Play a 33 on 78.
