What rolls down stairs

Alone or in pairs,

and rolls over your neighbor's dog?

What's great for a snack

and fits on your back?

it's log, log, log!

it's log, log!

It's big, it's heavy, it's wood.

it's log, log!

it's better than bad, it's good!

Everyone wants a log!

You're gonna love it, log!

Come on and get your log!

Everyone needs a log!

log, log, log!

Had it. Gun was cool. Had a little scope that when you looked through it and pulled the trigger a little red dot that would appear in the clear plastic.

This is the worst toy including the commercial.

Its the Hovercraft and the reason I am posting it because I remember seeing the commercial thinking it was awesome. It could go over land and water. In the commercial it looked like it fast and I just thought it was bad arse.

Youtube-hovercraft

But in reality it was a piece of shite. It was slow and after a few days the part that inflated when you turned it on tore.

Tyco had some sweet RCs for kids back then. I had a Fast Traxx, but the Bandit was pretty cool too.

If I recall, the Christmas I got it, it had been raining so I put it on the sidewalk so I could hit the lower areas that had some water in it.

It was just made cheap.

Theantiquetiger, you should see what has become of Rock 'Em - Sock 'Em Robots. My wife just ordered it for our grandkids to play, and the toy has shrunk by at least 50%. Also, the fighting action is not as good as it used to be either. Sadly, this toy is a mere shell of what it used to be.

Anyone else here had any Army Gear? "Normal" items that transformed into something.

I had the canteen aircraft carrier.




I also had a few of the Mega Force toys.



A lot of the stuff we played with back in the day were from companies (e.g., Galoob, Kenner) that were eventually bought by Hasbro. Crazy.

I wanted a Tyco Typhoon hovercraft so badly as a kid, but my parents refused for some reason.


I wanted one so bad. I asked for it for Christmas, but Santa let me down. So I asked for it for my birthday, and my mom came to me and said "Consumer Reports says this is not a good toy. They say the battery doesn't last long"

Bitch, I don't care what Consumer Reports says. I want a fricking hovercraft, right fricking now.

I got one of these for Christmas and was obsessed with it.

I made my own league, kept stats, had house rules, and everything. Looking back, it sucked, but I loved it.

Jim McMahon Gotcha! Gun. I figured if it was cool enough for McMahon, I had to have one. I bought one with some birthday money. I got maybe 3 shots out of it, and the gun jammed. Couldn't use it again. YouTube
