3264ArticlemassrealityIt looks pretty awesome. These modern board games are a little complex for my liking, but I love the way they used the license and am glad it was a worthy Kickstarter. Everything I end up backing always sucks. Jan 10, 2016View
3269ArticleDrakkenskyI was actually surprised with how easy it was to learn, setup, and play.Who you gonna call ...USJan 11, 2016View
3279ArticlepikachuloverI didn't pick up any vintage toys this year. Good thing you got a Lady Lovelylocks with an intact head. Those dolls seem to have head and neck problems. Miss M's Top 10 Retro Toys of 2015!Jan 19, 2016View
3280ArticleVaporman87Speaking of TMNT figures, that Toxie looks like he would have fit right in with the turtles line. Then again, Playmates made both lines, so that makes sense. Great 2015 haul Miss M. Congrats on adding some fun stuff to your ever-growing collection.Miss M's Top 10 Retro Toys of 2015!Jan 19, 2016View
3287ArticleMissM@pikachulover- Tell me about it! Lady Lovelylocks are so hard to find in decent condition. I don't know if you can tell in the picture, but her legs have splotchy coloring on them. Other than that she is in great condition. @Vaporman87- Wasn't it so cool back in the day how Playmates would make so many different toy lines and they all fit together? You are right, Toxie would have fit in perfectly with a TMNT line. I miss those toy lines. And thank you, I was really excited to find these items throughout the past year. Hope you two have both been doing well!Miss M's Top 10 Retro Toys of 2015!Jan 20, 2016View
3288ArticleHoju KoolanderWhat a varied list, this was awesome. Those Playskool People are such time capsule figures, seeing as they were created to represent the "contemporary" look of everyday people from that era. I too have long been amazed by R-Rated toy lines like Terminator 2, Demolition Man, Predator and Rambo. The basic attitude of the day seemed to be, "If it looks cool, mold it in plastic for the kids". That was a great story about your Miss Elizabeth figure. My Dad was also involved in a lot of my collecting during childhood, though it was most definitely not his thing. Miss M's Top 10 Retro Toys of 2015!Jan 20, 2016View
3290ArticleMissM@HojuKoolander I have a very eclectic taste in collecting. It's both a blessing and a curse. lol The Playskool People are so perfect for capturing the look of the times! That is such a great feel about it. I love that. R Rated toy lines are such a fascination, because I don't know that it would ever happen again like that. There was something really special about that time for toys. Now the R Rated stuff is just marketed for collectors. I'm really glad I was young during that toy collecting time. My dad was only mildly interested in collecting. He wanted to find the stuff that I was looking for, and he'd play with me for a little bit, but then he'd lose interest. lol It's an interesting thing. For example when Nintendo came out, he got one for us all to play. My mom and him actually played Mario, Duck Hunt, and Jaws for awhile, but once they got bored with it they never played a video game again. It's just interesting. I can't think of ever giving up playing a video game in some capacity. lol Anyways, hope all is going well!Miss M's Top 10 Retro Toys of 2015!Jan 22, 2016View
3282ArticleVaporman87Man, who DIDN'T want some sweet, themed bunk bed set up. I would have loved to have had a set up bunk beds like what is available today. So many varieties, and with some really cool features. Like you, it would have been pretty pointless for me to have bunk beds. It was just me and my sister for one part of my childhood (and we had separate rooms), and me and my brother for the rest (but we just had a queen bed in the basement). By the time I was living with my dad, I was not really interested in having a bunk bed. We did have a set of bunk beds for the boys for a few years here. But we did away with them recently (the top bunk never got used).Bunk BedsJan 19, 2016View
3286ArticlepikachuloverI never had a bunk bed as a kid. Although I did want one for a while until my mom said it was not very practical for me to have one. That and my fear of earthquakes combined led to me not having a bunk bed. My friend in high school lofted his bed. He was strange he moved around the furniture in his room at least once a month and his room was not that large. He told me to loft my bed too. The problem with his bed was that was not constructed it very well. He just added beams to a regular bed. It looked like it was going to topple over if you sneezed by the thing. If I remember correctly he wanted his computer under his lofted bed. I had a few relatives with bunk beds. But they usually slept on the bottom and put their toys on the top bunk.Bunk BedsJan 19, 2016View
3289ArticleDirtyD79Me and my bro had bunkbeds too. Our mom got them because they reminded her of the Berenstein Bears or something like that. We also had a folding ladder which we just about never used. One of the things I'd do with the bunk bed is pretend I'm working on a car that's up on the lift at a shop. I probably drove my parents nuts by tapping on it with a little wooden hammer. When me and my bro outgrew them we ended up giving them to a couple of our younger cousins. Bunk BedsJan 22, 2016View
