Things from our past

I had this (Omega Supreme) and I can't for the life of me think of what happened to so many of my childhood toys. Just got rid of them over the years. This one really bums me out as they go for a few hundred dollars now as a collector's item.

I also had the white Optimus Prime. They have replicas now but I had the original one. Again, disappeared somewhere along my way of growing up.

I had both. The white Optimus Prime is simply the base part of Ultra Magnus. You added other parts to make him look like Ultra Magnus.

We used to play a game of "chicken" with these. All the kids in the neighborhood would get together at someone's house half the kids on one side of the house and the other half on the other side and throw the jart over the house. You had to yell when you threw it so the kids on the other side knew it was coming. The game was to get as close as you could to where it would hit without getting stuck by it. Amazingly, no one ever got stuck, lots of close calls and mad scrambles when you lost it in the sun.....lol

Really amazing, that we lived through our childhood. Seems like most of the stuff we did as kids would get you taken away nowadays for having unfit parents.....lol

Every school year, the school supply list would include a pencil box. The teachers would tell us to just go to the corner store and ask for an empty cigar box, it seems every kid had a White Owl or Dutch Master cigar box.

Of course, you had to keep your Frito Bandito pencil eraser in your cigar box.

oh man, tracer guns! Those little discs were all over my parents' house and they found them years after I stopped having one of those guns. I loved those things.
