LOVING the photos in this thread.
Very disappointed in Ruddo’s posts with no photos.

i've seen these but i'm pretty sure this is the first post in this thread that makes me feel my age. my friends' little brothers or nephews would play with these.
I'm, what, 5 years younger than you? That makes sense
