QuoteI also got Bats in the Belfry and The Green Ghost among other things.

Zombiology! Weren't those great games! Remember the large monster claws you used to catch the bats, and the super cool spooky castle the bats popped out of.........Buddy

Yes!! I played infield in little league a the time and I imagined myself fielding the little plastic bats as infield pop flies. In a ballgame, I imagined the little bats flying at me. I guess I wasn't normal

I got one of these for Christmas once.. I wish I still had it.

How rare are these?

I know where I can get one this spring.

QuoteRefreshing that he'd prefere a guitar over a playstation!

Long Live Kong! Please note that he prefered a BASS guitar. Not just a guitar, a BASS guitar! The specifics are important to us BASS players........Buddy

When I was about 10 years old my brother was 5. On that Christmas of his 5th year his enthusiasm for Christmas and the gifts overflowed. He snuck one of his packages under the lower bunk bed and tore it open. Turned out to be a wallet from our Aunt. In his obvious disappointment he left the wallet and it's torn Christmas wrapping where it had landed. I found the mess, and with extreme Christmas glee I ratted on him! He got a pre-Christmas whooping! Aw......justice at Christmas.....just what little brothers deserve! Buddy

MEGO's Wayne Manor. I have always wanted that, as a kid and adult.

My son is the same way. He wanted a bass for Xmas. He now has bought himself two more.

The Great Garloo and BIG LOO !!

I didn't even know this existed until I got internet access, but I desperately wish that I had gotten a Tomy Spotbot for Christmas as a kid. One of the very first robot dogs. You'd put a battery in and he'd run around changing direction each time he hit a wall or obstacle. He was also sized perfectly to take part in action figure battles as well. My Spotbot would have been the guy who made Skeletor and his flunkies crap their pants whenever he showed up. Basically Spotbot enters the fray and asses WILL be kicked. The villains would fear him and the heroes would worship him.

Me too! The Great Garloo was probably the first toy I really coveted after I saw one at the downtown Kresges store.

How can you be so sure that he wouldn't be Skeletor's dog and thus aligned against He-Man and She-Ra?
