Toys of the 1970's and 80's: A Quiz


It's hard to believe that we've already finished up the first decade of the twenty-first century. While Christmas shopping this year, I began to feel nostalgic for my salad days of the 1970's and 80's. Man, the toys we had back then were classic, weren't they? Sure, there was much less glitz and glamor, but we had some great toys. And each Christmas, or Hanukkah, or birthday brought the great anticipation of receiving that classic toy.

Here now, are 25 tag lines or descriptions of some of the best that Toys 'R' Us had to offer. Most of them are easy, but there are a few tricky ones in there to stump even the most avid 80's fan. See how many you can guess. Post your answers in the comments, and maybe I'll send a prize to the first poster who is completely correct. Answers will be posted at a later date.

1. Just pop in the colored pegs and follow the patterns.
