I had those, too. So much Star Wars.
I wish I had them now to play with, in these uncertain times

Had just over 300 of these, collected between ages 5 and 11. Got my mother to agree to me hosting a party for me and some friends when I reached 300. Two girls showed up that had a crush on me. They tried to hide with a present of a large bag of candy and love hearts for me, but we saw them first. We ran after them and surrounded them. I did date one of them later that year for three months.

Stopped collecting shortly after. Mostly stopped with kids toys by 12, and converted to video games. Although I did build some lego between 12-15.
Oh yeah, I was all about Matchbox cars when I was a kid. I had 3 cases of the things plus a shoebox. Give me those and a sand pit and I was sorted for the day.

This is one of the cases I had - each would hold 4 trays of 20 or so cars.

Awesome. I used to host an event at my primary school, where I would race Matchbox cars against eachother down a hill. Seemed like half the school used to rush there to participate.

We'd be so much better at making prequels.

I treasured this thing. I believe I was roughly 5 at the time of having this and i still ahve vivid memories of carrying it around with me on a trip to some lake resort.

I had a tape ...school of rock? Had a couple Chuck Berry Songs on it....forget what else.

I had that Evel Kneval toy and I have no idea where it came from. I didn't even know who he was. I'm guessing a grandparent gave it to me.
