I grew up in the 1970's. All the presents I got were just that bit below what all my mates had. My mum knitted me a football club replica jumper because we didn't have the money to buy such items.
It keeps you grounded,.... And as for toys, I wanted the TCR super set where your electric cars could change lanes to overtake, whilst going round the Monaco circuit. What I got was a Scaletrix 'figure of 8' set with 2 cars from the 1950's, that I believe got 'broken' somehow and only used a couple of times. Buying cheap is just throwing your money away.

Would have loved a Millennium Falcon, the smugglers trap door looked amazing Never had the Evil Knieval stunt bike but played with others and it was pretty good I also wanted a BMX with those plastic 'mag' wheels, but my parents were boring so I had one with proper spokes instead But I did have all the A-team figures and accessories, they were great

Always wanted big trac, never got. wanted a chopper got a grifter The Chopper was the 'must have' bike. Scared parents either got a Grifter or Commando for their kids. I got a Commando, and it was 5hlt. Some idiot stole it, which I was well pleased about Then my dad found out who'd nicked it, and I got it back a few days later

Edited by Forest Hillbilly (28 Nov 2020 6.29pm) All our presents came from east lane market, i got the Palace Sash kit but it was knitted out of the same fibre you use for loft lagging. We also got a bmx that I'm sure was surplus soviet army stock and had the mobility of an oil tanker. Worked out well though as we used to play a game of dare were you would cycle at each other and last to put their foot down would win. Me and my brother were undisputed champions for years as the boy with bmx mongoose went home in tears with a mangled bike... Happy days
