Most of the stuff I’ve read on other sites is written by guys who, allegedly, owned all these things some of us only dreamed of. Shit, I’m not a toy collector but there’s no fun on buying memories from e-bay just for the tacky nostalgia in it. I know that much.

It wasn’t about the stuff you own, but the stuff you WISHED you had to impress your friends. I remember this Alf comics magazine (forever lost…)Where they had announces of Captain Power shooting game. I didn’t know how that worked, but I remember the show and the graphics and all the coolness in it… and it takes me back to a bittersweet moment of life.

Thanks a million, man. I got teary-eyed and stuff.

Ps. I used to do the Chips Ahoy sandwich too. Shit, I’d chew half of a soda cracker and put the gooey bit over the other half! I thought I was the only one who’d do that.

My favorite characters were Cy-Kill, Leader-1, and Cop-Tur. They also came out with the Super Gobots, which were much bigger (but plastic, not die cast metal) versions of the regular Gobots.
