Awesome collection. As a child of the 80's, it was a walk down my childhood. I loved The Transformers and Masters of the Universe....Now, if only you had Thundercats.

Awesome collection Jeff. If you're ever in Lincoln, Nebraska I own two toy stores that specialize in vintage toys. I have or have had pretty much everything in your pics.

My stores were recently featured by Bloomberg:

I think I might have been a little too early for most of these, but then again I don't really remember most of the odd toys we had. I recall the more common Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars, Legos, the green army men and I want to say we either had, or friends had and we coveted stretch armstrong and rock em sock em robots. I also recall a smash up derby car set that had pop off pieces when they collided with each other.

Star Wars figures were popular as well and we had a bunch of figures, but don't think we ever had any of the larger toys.

When I got into baseball, a lot of the toys took a back seat to sports and then when video games came out like Intellivision and early Atari games, that was it.

I remember playing with alot of the toys. They sure look crude and primative to what my son was playing with!

Oh... I am that kid too. Well, at least with baseball/football cards and Star Wars. This stuff is "integrated" throughout my collection. Including the error card shelf (if you don't know about the Star Wars error card... look closely, but don't let it poke out your eye). And if you are really into Star Wars, you'll know the significance of the unopened figures. These were things my mom bought for presents, but never got around to giving me. Turned out to be a really good thing.
