Hehe, I know there's a cartload of us on here that remember these toys.

Had 'em all, except for course for the Barbie, and what the heck was a Dalek (I don't think that one crossed the pond).

Daleks were (and still are) the worst of the worst bad guys on Dr. Who.

Scalectix never really made it over here in the States. We had Aurora Thunderjet 500 Model Motoring (HO scale) and Strombecker (1/32 scale)

Yup I had the whole lot too, except of course Barbie - I had Sindy instead. 

Nice little reminisce Ian, thanks.

They never mentioned my favourite......Meccano. 

That's cos Meccano was first available from about 1907, I think the rest of the stuff in the list first appeared in the 60's. 

If you have an original meccano set Ian you must be a lot older than you've been letting on.

They never mentioned my favourite......Meccano. 

It doesn't rate with today's kids - I bought my son a set a couple of years back...had his interest for not more than a couple of days.

I was a fanatic for at least a couple of years.

When I got my meccano set for Christmas it was the evening before I got it away from my Dad.

One of my favorites when I was young was my Chemistry Set. They aren't available any more. I guess someone thinks it's a bad idea to give a box of chemicals and a Bunson burner is a bad idea.
