Remember these toys?

When I was a child the electronic toys were limited and basic. I’m talking of the days of the original transformers, a-team and star wars toys. When something called ‘Mask’ was all the rage, when corgi cars were a must have and action man was deluxe. My most expensive toy around the age of five or six was the BigTrak.

The reality though was that any toy was cherished. Plastic soldiers, McDonalds frisbees, lego blocks etc. Mix them all up, go on adventures in the garden. Build my own environments out of lego etc. Bed covers converted to lunar landscapes. Flowerbeds turned into battlefields. Create my own environments and scenary, rather than a computer game defining one for me. My imagination going wild and hours lost in my own worlds.

I was extremely fortunate as a child for the amount of toys I had. I’ve taken a small collection of photos to share. Do you remember these? What were your own favourite toys?
