 Childhood stuff
I went to my folks place this weekend with high hopes, but unfortunately, I just don't have the type of parents that saved everything their kids ever had. No, mine were more the type to freely toss anything they could into the dumpster once the kids were out of the house. Luckily, I had taken most of my GI Joe, MOTU, Star Wars and GPK cards with me when I moved out many years ago, but I did manage to find this stuff hiding in a box in the attic.  A Boglin (Snish I believe is the name), two m.u.s.c.l.e. figs (I must have had thousands, sadly all gone), one "Germs" toy still in his test-tube, and one B.Beast and Shocking Shark vehicle. And a B.Beast guy. I also brought home a big bag of various pieces and weapons, and I think I may even have all the guns/cannons that went with the Shark. Out of the small lot I brought home, I was most excited about the Germs guy. I remember my grandmother buying it for me in a toy store when I spending the weekend there as a kid. I officially want more B.Beasts, MUSCLE Men, and Germs.

 Re: Childhood stuff
I was big on BBeast and M.U.S.C.L.E. men when I was younger. TMNT--absolutely. and GI Joe, monsters in my pocket, and no-name japanese robot fighters.
I didn't really get into transformers until my early 20's though.
well, Paulievinyl, at least you have something left. all my stuff is gone gone gone.

 Re: Childhood stuff
Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for what I've got left. I think I had just sort of built it up in my head that I was going to crawl through the attic and find boxes of MUSCLE and BBeast toys. I was hoping for a few old Madballs too. The boglin and Germs toys were a nice bonus though! Vombie wrote: well, Paulievinyl, at least you have something left. all my stuff is gone gone gone.

 Re: Childhood stuff
oh, absolutely. I know you had to happy to find something just when it seemed all hope was lost btw, I'm not sure if it was you or another SBer who had new pics and stuff, but Madballs have recently been re-released just in case it wasn't you who had shared pics not too long ago.

 Re: Childhood stuff
I had that same Boglin as a child, I used to play with it in the bath as it squirts water. It is one of the harder to find ones now.
