| 1882 | Article | pikachulover | I 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! : 1987 | Feb 04, 2015 |  |
| 1881 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Great 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! : 1987 | Feb 03, 2015 | |
| 1880 | Article | Vaporman87 | I 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! : 1987 | Feb 03, 2015 | |
| 1879 | Article | Vaporman87 | You'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. | Surprise Party! : 1987 | Feb 03, 2015 | |
| 1878 | Article | pikachulover | I 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 Kid | Feb 03, 2015 | |
| 1877 | Article | Vaporman87 | I 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. | The Older Kid | Feb 03, 2015 | |
| 1876 | Article | vkimo | I'm the second to youngest in a family of 8 kids...but I'm about 10 years younger than my sister so I spent most my time being the big kid playing along with my nieces and nephews. I definitely had the ego at times seeing all the peons being awed by my presence haha and that was always an annoyance when hanging with older kids because they have no interest in younger kids. | The Older Kid | Feb 03, 2015 | |
| 1875 | Article | echidna64 | Same here, as the oldest of 5 siblings, my "cousin" was the closest to being an older brother. I agree, there was always something magical about visiting a new friend's house. For instance, I remember thinking that stacking the Sonic and Knuckles cartridge was pure wizardry! Sounds like you were the man! My dream was always to have a treehouse, I plan on building one when I have my own kiddos. | The Older Kid | Feb 02, 2015 | |
| 1874 | Article | Vaporman87 | Most of my life was spent BEING the older kid. In my neighborhood, I was the oldest of the kids that spent evenings together playing. Sure, there were older kids than me living there, but they didn't often associate with us. I'm guessing I was probably the same type of kid you describe here as well. I had a lot of cool stuff (I'm not blind to the fact that I had a lot of stuff as a kid) and we had a tree house, large yard, tons of concrete with a basketball hoop, and all the inside goodies too. Truth be told though, I preferred being the "visitor" as opposed to being the "visited". Unlike most kids, I didn't enjoy being the kid that other kids were jealous of. I liked visiting the houses of others and being in their element. I felt welcomed and appreciated there, whereas at home, I might tend to feel used. | The Older Kid | Feb 02, 2015 | |
| 1873 | Article | pikachulover | I had Sesame Street set. I didn't know what they were I thought they were stamps. So I licked them. I got them when I was 3. My parents had to explain to me how to use them. I had a Show White and a dress up Minnie N Me set. I also had a few Presto Magix sets of Beauty and the Beast and Strawberry Shortcake. I have a Lisa Frank set, but I'm not sure who made it. I liked to use colorforms and window clings to stick on the sliding glass door wen I lived at a house that had one. I had Barbie and Mickey Mouse rub-on transfers and some bootleg Sailor Moon ones. | Colorforms, Shrinky Dinks, and Monster Makers | Feb 01, 2015 | |
