Darn the Care Bear and My Little Pony shirts are only for women.

Holy crap theres some gold stuff in there though. Wish I had money for this. A Ghostbusters tshirt would be sweet. Go right alongside my Danger Mouse shirt.

The Video Game shirts could be better though.

Yeah they do have some awesome stuff. Pity it's scene to wear that kind of shit today when they probably have no idea what half of it is about.

what do you remember about the 80s ambo? apart from sucking 'pon your mother's teat?



that is a dope watch tho...

Hahahaha I was just about to post 'what do you kids know about retro' 

I remembered t'other day how we used to make shrinky dinks out of chip packets.  No one knew what I was talkin about.  Mmmm I used to love the smell of hot shrunken chip twisty smell.

I used to do that all the time. I was born in 89 but living in the country we were still ten years behind. 
I love all the old school games and cartoons and stuff though. Actually prefer them over most of the new ones.

aaaaahhh we used to do that and then would punch holes in them and use them as key rings. mine always turned out the best.

I remember those!

30 mins of intros of cartoons of the 80s boh

In the 80's I absolutely LOVED my rollerskates 

And I still love rollerskates even though I don't have any and they don't work as well as inline skates!

I bet you went to those roller discos too skating round to Duran Duran 

...that must be how you met buz

 

No, rollerskating boys are lame.... back then all the cool boys rode bmx bikes.... in fact bmx bikes are even cooler than rollerskates 

I loved banana man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7v0DVkfuag


Not the 80's as such but does anyone remember Johnson and Friends?
That was a dope show.

It was all about Pole Position for me.

Couldn't find any clips anywhere, but Alias the Jester kicked arse too.

This Dinosaucers shit was the bomb too.

One word.


ThunderCats.

i really really LOVED thundercats, and silverhawks (spinoff series) was super rad too!

we used to make our OWN shrinkies, you could buy special plastic and pens to do your own drawings n then shrink em. wish i stil had that stuff!

also, the 80s was all about home made candle kits and bracelets, remember that plastic glittery plastic shit that took off in the 80s?? and then came back?!

OMG U CAN STILL BUY SHRINKYDINKS! http://www.shrinkydinks.com/

Hey anyone remember those slap-bands? What a shithouse fad that was, I think they ended up getting banned at my school cos if a kid had a cool looking unique one people were stealing and fighting over em! 

Didn't they get banned cause the material on some got damaged then the metal or whatever was underneath slit someones wrist? Or maybe that was just a rumour... :o

i thought shrinkydinks was just empty packets of chips, there was a whole other girl world out there i never knew of

Thundercats, Voltron, Dangermouse, Inspector Gadget, Masters of the Universe, the themesong to AEIOU was catchy as.

Definite no-no's:

- parachute tracksuit
- happy pants
- John B hair (big hair, huge hair, Fila hair, Air Halair in the area, feel my hair)
- combover hair

That's why they were banned at one of the school's I went to

slap bands were wicked

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Why? Happy pants were awesome.

rumper room!!!   

I loved that show!

I was apparently on Rumper Room. Have vague memories of a giant bee. I also got a pic on Mr Squiggle. Boo ya!

You're all FUCKING LOSERS..... IT'S ROMPER ROOM 

Did think that. I put my trust in the previous posts though. Wrong move!
It also depends on the accent you say it in!

Now you know.... trust only me   




ps retro threads are pointless because nothing beats LEGO 

Mechano (sp?) was up there imo!

Not quite as 'kid-friendly' as Lego however, which spelt it's doom...I remember slashing myself up numerous times on sharp bits of Mecchano in an old set (circa 50's) stashed at my nana's house when I was a kid...good stuff though! 

mmy mom gave me a magnetic connnector set thingy for my bday a couple of years ago, what she loved the most was the HEALTH WARNING for anyone using it who may have metal implants, devices or even pins...the magnets were THAT strong! cool.

lincoln logs and my little pony

Gumby is still high up there for me.

Mully Grubs.

Gumby rocks!

Mully Grubs - worst show ever!

That stupid face....

and thats why i liked it.

with all the 80s stuff coming back i have been secretly hoping for happy pants to come back



not so much because of the offensive patterns they had, but because they were hella comfy

or the rhyme where you would just ad lib a line about you doing something then add "diarrhea! diarrhea!"

walking down the street and you see something at your feet "diarrhea diarrhea"

Never has a truer word been spoken.

I still play with it a few times a week and my kids have tons of it, combined with my massive collection. Hell, even had a huge lego village set up at my place for a while until I rolled around in it on K one day.

LEGO IS THE GREATEST!!!!!!

very seriously considering going here: http://www.legoland.dk/

"When yah climbing up a tree and it dribbles to yah knee, diarrhea diarrhea!"

Scratch n sniff stickers! I had garfield ones that smelled like pizza!

and those cool overwriter texta's that changed colour and mini stampers

Hypercolour t-shirts. Da bizness.

until ya washed em

ahahahahahaha 

There was one more of each vowel in the song tho...

a aaa aaa aaa

Nungabands......Ooooooooo don't break the black ones.

Stack Hats
Spokey Dokeys
Marbles
Teddy Ruxpin
Hunter (with his genius talking cat  )
Morris Minor & The Majors - Stutter Rap
TAB Cola

Ooo yea, spokey dokeys!

What about cat weasle?  He scared me, with that frog in his pocket and talking to himself.

Rubiks not cube puzzle but the flat bendy one where u had to un link the rings.

I was introduced to Samarah whilst rolling in the village. The fact she wasn't worried by my state made it obvious we would get along just fine.

I think it was called Rubik's Puzzle, imaginative name hey?

haha thats funny, you shoulda seen the state i met Samarah in!

She was a non-talking wonder, couldnt get a bloody word out of her! I think it was day three after all though LOL That K is dangerous i tells ya

Then the next time i saw her.... woah... kazam! total opposite

She is awesome such a sweety

curly shoe laces boh
