Do you guys (and Gals) remember the toys of "days gone by"? Johnny West, The original G.I. Joe (helecopters, sea wolf, etc.), the Lone Ranger, Action Jackson, Evel Kneivel and Debbie Daring, SSP Racers,Pro-Keds, Converse, Levis Jeans (bell-bottoms)...... I know I'm in for some "beatin'' from the youngsters, but I'm relying on those who remember "way back when".

I remember those things. I used to have a toy that I dont know if anyone else remembers. It was an action figure called Captain Lazer. He was part of the Major Mason action figures. Those were the days, when kids got bored and actually went outside to play instead of turning into fat slobs in front of the Xbox.

What about the Mrs. Beasley dolls and those little plastic wind-up robots that were clear and you could see all the gears and stuff move while it walked?
