Their success never fail. I just lost the rope :D<br /><br />In my eyes, they still look like the never-forgotten treasure of childhood imaginary universe<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this!<br /><br />Renaud, <br />FranceRRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01765324779605635589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077773.post-352633857246534252009-12-28T20:06:49.467-07:002009-12-28T20:06:49.467-07:00I had the pontoon boat!

Probably made with lead paint and lots of tasty CFCs, but it's playable.Benchmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06140228581344731793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077773.post-19947836720202988122009-12-28T11:30:02.981-07:002009-12-28T11:30:02.981-07:00I always wanted that set.

I had the rescue helicopter myself: two orange-suited dudes, and a helicopter where the rotors actually spun under the inducement of a trigger under the rear tail boom.<br />Yes, those figures, and others like them, gave my staid childhood it's adventure, in a slightly more tangible way than the books I consumed.Colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03636118154806287309noreply@blogger.com
