1877ArticleVaporman87I think I could deal with the younger kids because I actually could relate better with them. Sure, my main "clique" of friends were my age, but my younger friends and I were on the same level as far as our interests and imaginations.  Feb 03, 2015View
1878ArticlepikachuloverI was the older kid to my little cousins on my mom's side. I was the youngest of the first cousins, so when they got a little older I was the cool older one who knew what was cool because I was at least 6 years older than them. Plus when they were in elementary school I was the older high school aged anime nerd. We used to have heated discussions about Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh! Maybe I was with some other kids I met that I wasn't related to. Growing up I didn't have any gaming systems, a computer or even cable. I did have a lot of regular toys like art supplies, and dolls and stuff like that. I was kinda spoiled because I'm an only child. The Older KidFeb 03, 2015View
1879ArticleVaporman87You've really hit a groove now fuschnikt. Great read! This had to have been a great birthday part. Dino Riders were really cool toys. It was a toy line that I always wished I had more of. My brother actually had several, and we would play with them extensively when the mood struck us. Boglins were another property I had none of. But my friend's Boglin made it's way into at least one of our homemade movies. LOL. I have no doubt that our investigative members can find out what some of those other goodies are.

1880ArticleVaporman87I forgot to mention that you should try recording those Dino Riders ads off and get them uploaded to the site. I don't think we have much Dino Riders video content.Surprise Party! : 1987Feb 03, 2015View
1881ArticleHoju KoolanderGreat batch of gifts and photos. I totally had a Boglin that I used to flip inside out as well, I think I eventually stretched his arms apart (like into pieces) and that was the end of my creature. I always thought Dino Riders were cool, but not enough to demand one for a birthday for some reason. Also, did you not know what a birthday was or just had no concept of time at that age?Surprise Party! : 1987Feb 03, 2015View
1882ArticlepikachuloverI don't remember Dino Rides much save the random commercial that was from something my mom taped for me. It's nice to see what was around in 1987 in boys toys. In 1987 I was thinking more about My Little Pony, Care Bears and Cabbage Patch dolls. @Vapor I'll try to submit my Dino Riders ad too. Surprise Party! : 1987Feb 04, 2015View
1883ArticleVaporman87Cool. That'd be great pika. Surprise Party! : 1987Feb 04, 2015View
1884Articlefuschnikt@Vapor Thanks! It means a lot! Truly! I'd love to see one of these Boglin videos someday. I'll see what I can do with the video. I'm not very technically astute. @Hoju I think my Boglin probably meet the same ultimate fate as yours. Fragile creatures in the hands off young children. As for the birthday question..I wish I could tell you. I know I had parties before. I've seen photos. But I was just turning four, so I'm sure calendars were meaningless to me. I still can't explain how nobody would have clued me in. Maybe they did and I was just to busy doing kid things to take heed? @Pika I never had any Ponies or Care Bears. I did have a Cabbage Patch though. For some time I carried him around just like Buddy in the commercials. He was my My Buddy. Surprise Party! : 1987Feb 04, 2015View
1885ArticlefuschniktI wasn't the oldest kid, but I did have a treehouse. Nothing that elaborate, though. I guess my brother could have been the older kid. Except he never really hung around us younger kids. On occasion, however, he did let us throw snaps at him while he ran around the yard.The Older KidFeb 04, 2015View
