| 2380 | Article | Hoju Koolander | You had good taste for a dreamer of toys. I actually owned the Laser Tag, Hit Stix and an old chemistry set, but as incomplete hand me downs. | Jul 11, 2015 |  | |
| 2381 | Article | mickyarber | @Hoju...you're right, I was quite the dreamer. Those are just the ones that I really wanted and aksed for on many occasions. There were so many more things I wanted as well. Maybe I'll have to revisit the topic and go through some more "wants" that I never got. | Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A Kid | Jul 11, 2015 | |
| 2382 | Article | mickyarber | I don't remember when I first realized Santa wasn't real, but I do remember the after effect. I can remember feeling closer to my parents once I knew it was them spending hard earned cash for the things under the tree, and I think that helped me develop a deeper sense of appreciation for all kinds of things. Fun article. | 1990 - The Year Santa Died | Jul 11, 2015 | |
| 2383 | Article | mickyarber | I didn't get into MTV until the 90's, and I jumped in head first. One of the features I really liked was when they would do a block of videos....4 In a Row I think they called it. Four straight videos without any interruptions. I loved Aeon Flux, and was a big fan of Beavis and Butthead too. And one of the highlights of my year was when they would do the spring break week. Great tv right there. A really nostalgic article. Great job. | MTV: The 90's | Jul 12, 2015 | |
| 2384 | Article | Vaporman87 | Hopefully my kids feel the same way about my wife and I when they discover the truth. LOL | 1990 - The Year Santa Died | Jul 12, 2015 | |
| 2385 | Article | mickyarber | Love this article. Like everyone else, I wanted a tree house to play in, but my problem was lack of trees. Now, my daughters are wanting one. Guess I should see about getting started and maybe live vicariously through them. That or make it sturdy enough for Pops to get up there and play with them. Hope to see more from you. | Castles of Yesteryear | Jul 12, 2015 | |
| 2386 | Article | massreality | I totally forgot about Hit Stix! My brother owned the Hit Stix, and they were pretty awesome. They even inspired him to get into real drumming a few years later. | Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A Kid | Jul 13, 2015 | |
| 2387 | Article | mickyarber | @massreality..that's pretty cool. My younger cousin got them, and same thing happened. He tried to get into real drums, but wasn't very good, nut it got him into music. WHen the drumming didn't work out, he learned guitar instead and has done well with it in the years since. | Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A Kid | Jul 13, 2015 | |
| 2388 | Article | kstrom22 | Nice article! When I was in 3rd Grade my teacher tumbled some rocks and each of the students took one home. I still have it on my shelf. Naturally, I begged for one but my parents said "no" or "wait until Easter." By the time the Easter Bunny brought it, though, I had moved on to something else. Maybe I should go get one now! | Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A Kid | Jul 13, 2015 | |
| 2389 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeah, basically the whole card collecting/manufacturing craze imploded around the time the final movie in the franchise came around, and that is pretty evident here. I actually prefer the simple, plain style of the original series of cards. Reminds me of my days collecting Topps baseball cards. Once Fleer, Donruss, and Skybox got big in the game, things got way too complicated, flashy, and collector oriented. It wasn't about kids picking up cards and enjoying them, it was more about adults who wanted them simply for the value in a Beckett. That bubble burst around the same time that comic book values plummeted. Great retrospective on the Batman series and cards in general Hoju! | Batman Trading Cards of the 80's and 90's | Jul 13, 2015 | |
