| 1865 | Article | pikachulover | Of course I remember the modeling school ads and the insurance ones they would show them during Punky Brewster all the time. "Call Survival now!" | Jan 30, 2015 |  | |
| 1866 | Video | Caps 2.0 | Sorry for another audio mishap...Once again, something went awry in the encoding. Are there any other encoders out there besides RIVA? | Beverly Hills Cop III | Jan 31, 2015 | |
| 1867 | Article | Vaporman87 | I would say I had a pretty extensive collection of all of these items. But, every time I would become bored with any of them, they would be placed in a drawer somewhere and eventually disappear altogether. Even so, I can still feel my hand rubbing a pencil across that molded plastic, and smell the vinyl stickers of the Colorforms. The thing I hated was when the Colorforms had characters in colors that were nowhere near correct (like Rhino in the picture you provided above). Seriously? Was it THAT much more expensive to make him gray? I also attempted to manufacture my own "stencils" for use with the "monster maker" style toys. They never turned out any good though. Still, it was fun to try anyway! | Colorforms, Shrinky Dinks, and Monster Makers | Jan 31, 2015 | |
| 1868 | Video | Vaporman87 | It's okay Caps. I've had that same issue before with Pinnacle software. Not always, but once in a while, for whatever reason, it makes the sound off. Not sure what software you're using, but it looks like a similar issue. | Beverly Hills Cop III | Jan 31, 2015 | |
| 1869 | Video | Caps 2.0 | With the other videos that have had audio mishaps, the sound was off by just 2 seconds or so. With this, it started up on the MPAA screen. I don't know if it's Pinnacle (my video editing program) or RIVA (the encoder I use once I edit the videos). | Beverly Hills Cop III | Jan 31, 2015 | |
| 1870 | Article | echidna64 | Brings back memories!I think I had one for Crash Dummies | Colorforms, Shrinky Dinks, and Monster Makers | Jan 31, 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
