I had one of these http://www.stuffwelove.co.uk/ricochet.htm

 

It was called 'Vertibird' ! My friend had one with the USS ENterprise instead of a Helicopter as well as a helicopter one too. ****. Still; I had a four lance Scalextric...

I knew I hadnt imagined it. Itd be worth a fortune now if we hadnt totally fecked it!

Fantastic find Sal.

I had a steer and go, loved playing with that.

Looking through the site i had forgoten how great some of my toys were. I had Evil Knievel, Super Flight Deck, Cascade, Race n chase, six million dollar man with telephoto eye and arm with skin that pulled back to show bionics. PMSL. They dont make em like they used to.

I had this site in my favourites; but its called http://www.nostalgia.condoris.net/vertibird.htm it seems to have virtually all of the same kit though.....

I had a cascade: http://www.stuffwelove.co.uk/cascade.htm

Was really difficult to set up and get all the angles just so, but once it was right, hours (ahem!) of fun were guaranteed!

 

haha, thats a funny site. Brings back some memories

Weirdest thing is looking at the Grifter picture, I remember my mates brother getting one and I rode it. It seemed massive and it's allways stuck in my mind as being huge, saw the pics and it looks tiny made me smile.

 

I had one of these, but I always wanted an Evil Knievel..

Mine was called "Turbo Tower of Power" and it came with a cardboard ramp.

The problem was that after a while, the wheel became clogged up with hair and it proved nigh on impossible to wind it up to any good speed.

Did anyone have "Stock Car Smashups" ? That ruled.. basically you had a red yankee pickup, and a blue vw beetle, and when you smashed them together, the bonnet, doors + wheels flew off.

 

Yep, i had that David.

Makes me wonder what happened to them all.
