    In the 60s there was this massive toy gun thing, think it might have been called a Johnny 7 or something like that. Never had one, but it looked great!
    Just googled it, collector's item now.....image
  • We were in Jamaica on holiday in 1997 and my 4 year old son was in the bath before bedtime getting over friendly for a 4 year old with his privates when I asked him to please leave it alone.
    He replied, "But Daddy, it's my favourite toy" - enough said, I thought - like father, like son.

    Did you miss the first page of the thread?

  • Airfix, reveal and Tamika. Loved building plastic kits.

    What's the difference betweeen Roland Duchatelet and an airfix model with no polystyrene cement? One is a glueless kit........
  • Still love this and still have it

    Did anyone else have any of this?

    I had stacks of it and it was great fun. I never knew anyone else who did, though. My mum bought a job lot of it second-hand at an auction. If you look carefully at the picture you'll see that there are metal rods sticking up from the base; these hold the bricks in place. At some point in time, the powers that be declared that it was not best practice to have children's toys consisting of rows of upright metal spikes and it got withdrawn from the market. That explains why even in the seventies, when the likes of Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris were considered safe around children, my mates never had the pleasure of owning their own Bayko set. It's health and safety gone mad!

    That's better than a lot of architectural models as seen on Grand Designs.
    When I win the lottery I might be using that in my presentation to Kevin McCloud and Channel 4. I won't be having the red render though.
  • How could I forget this?

    I've still got mine, as well as one of my other favourites.

    I love this! Get a tackle right and the other player would end up out the ground and on the floor!
  • These cars where my favourite things! I lost them all or broke them! But I bought these from eBay, just for the memories

    I had one of these and loved it. What I never understood was why it was green. It was White in the TV series. Also Dinky made a blue thunderbird 2 when everybody knew it was green. Still great toys though. Also loved my Space 1999 eagle which was the right colour, although I think they did do some in teh wrong colours too!
