Same here, loved Meccano. I also had hundreds of Micro Machines, in fact I think I still have a box of them somewhere.

The Stylophone; apparently quite collectable now but fecking annoying when my sister got one for Xmas back in the 70's



The space hopper is probably THE most useless toy ever and I suspect most were discarded and left outside by lunchtime on Xmas day

I am sure that the US military use the Stylophone as an interrogation/torture device in Iraq.
I have great respect for Rolf Harris, but his name will always be sullied by his connection with this evil device.

The damn things are back on sale again. Sometimes this nostalgia thing just goes too far.

Optimus Prime and Scalextric (no idea if that's the correct speeling).

I remember getting my first scalextric at christmas and refusing to open any more presents untill my dad had set it up. Really want to get a set now!!!
