VapingBad nah never got the Evil stunt bike but my cousin had it and yeah it was another one of those toys that was nothing like the adverts made out.

I've found the ad (and all achieved before the days of CGI !):

Makes 80's Saturday afternoon wrestling on World Of Sport look believable in comparison.

About the same time I got this

Can you imagine it being allowed now?

God I remember getting a set of it and all the little rods that you slid the wall sections onto. Be far too dangerous now. But thanks for the memory Q. Off to Ebay for a gander

Not sure what the rods were actually made of but they were sharp if you accidentally fell on them, and do you remember the SMELL of your hands after you built something?

Oh yes and when bangers were out of season some of these and a roll of sellotape were a fair substitute.

Jeez... what memories... Meccano, Bayko, cap guns etc 

I'm off to the ex's and demand access to the attic as I'm sure they're up there, together with my first record player (auto change no less). 

I've found my air rifle, and pistol in the spare room, but no pellets. Is it still legal to have them

Well I'm sorry to tell you all I killed Rudolphs young son this morning

Not a pleasant experience for either of us

Need more info before I report you to the SSP (Santa's Secret Police)... and why were you driving around Greenland (or wherever the reindeer live)... 'Sarge... where's the thumbscrews?'
