Tony Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 No matter how much I wished, I never got a Kerplunk or Mousetrap. What part of your childhood has left a little hole in the rest of your life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sibon Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I finally got a Mousetrap at the age of 35. That was my second biggest disappointment. The biggest one was the Buckaroo that I bought at the same time. The adverts were misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought Battling Top's was a bit of a let down too, yet looked so exciting on the TV ad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought Battling Top's was a bit of a let down too, yet looked so exciting on the TV ad! Yeah that one was a dissapointment for me too. Also Subuteo was pants!!! A few of the things that lived up to my expectations though was the Tumble Tank and my Optimus Prime, Soundwave and Shockwave Transformers. G1's of course Edit. Ooooh, and Zoids. Who remembers Zoids?? I hade the Triceratops one. Cant remember its name but it was the mutts nutts!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of the things that lived up to my expectations though was the Tumble Tank and my Optimus Prime, Soundwave and Shockwave Transformers. G1's of course Will have to agree to disagree on Subbutteo still have the occasional game! Perhaps striker was more your cup of tea, the one where you pressed the head of the players down to make them kick the ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBump Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Oh for an A la Cart Kitchen....I try to compensate with kitchen gadgets now but it will never be quite the same! As for operation, that was the a dissapointment in my twenties. I did have some fab red telephones though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
