BIke, I used my green bike if I could not use my skateboard for transport, I loved my green bike.
YoYo
Lego, we had a lot of it :)
Barbie, I even had a real barbie catamaran for my Barbie so in summer I put that in our swimmingpool(not a build in-wich was not very large)
Rollerblades you must tie on your shoes and
I loved my skateboard, I took it almost everywhere
33 and 45 records with little white recordplayer from Philips
I had a vieuwmaster but it didn't live long. My brother and I broke it in a fight. What a thrill when my Granddad a few year ago gave me a box with two Vieuwmasters and loads of pictures to vieuw and that pics are the first ever came out! It's a real treasure to me! :)
I wanted a Holly Hobbie doll but never get one.
Yes I remeber these! Didn't like it because my knuckles were al the time hurt!
I like this memorylane topic.

I had a strawberry shortcake portable record player... I'm sure I didn't get it new though, I was born in 1981. I also remember I had a red bike with a banana seat... oh it was such a cool bike!

I had Lincoln Logs, a Toni doll, loads and loads of paper dolls, dollhouses and furniture, larger doll furniture, skates, scooters, bike, jacks, coloring books, and those books you painted with water to make the picture.
And I have one more I don't see listed here.
