Brian Austin Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Here's a rather peculiar interpretation of the General Lee Ebay listing 1 or Ebay listing 2 On the other hand, the same company produced this nicely detailed VW Thing.

Fat Brian Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I remember those, I had a few top fuel dragster and stock cars. I think I also had a 34 Ford three window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincen47 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Wow, that’s a trip down memory lane. I had one of those as a kid! One of those things forgotten about until now. Yeah, not accurate, but I enjoyed playing with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul alflen Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Gay toys- Walled Lake, Mi is now American Plastic Toys. Same location, still in business. I had a 1/16th or1/20th 1966 Bronco from there. It was super detailed like an AMT promo. Lots of quality for a plastic toy! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Austin Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 Periodically I do searches for Gay Toys, Thomas Toys and Processed Plastic Toys. Those companies can be tough getting good results for. 😛 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 We sure live in some strange times. This is a 3rd decade of the 21st Century and the amount of censorship or being offended is so much more prevalent than in the past 5 or 6 decades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perspective Customs Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Brian's first 7 words are pretty funny. No judgement, just made me chuckle 🤭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doorsovdoon Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I had a battery powered plastic Mercedes Benz Police car in the 80's, a 200 W123. It had one of those wheels under the engine area with two smaller rubber wheels in it that would spin. It moved the car backward and forward in a kind of 'seeking' motion. The lights also lit up and made a siren sound through a piezo speaker. It was a very accurate body if I remember but no idea what company made it. It was about 1/18 scale. My mum bought it for me at a small town market at one of those toy shops that sold odd but really good toys you never saw at the bigger chains. Would love to find one but I can't even find a picture of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attempts to look up "Thomas Toys" get choked with results for Thomas the Tank Engine merch. 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stitchdup Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Growing up one of my friends had a large plastic ford transit mk1 van. I think it was around 1/12 scale but could have been bigger and i was always jealous that he had it. I've searched ebay looking for one just for the nostalgia value but never found another. It had the diesel transit front and was white plastic with a red a team stripe but that might have been added by my friend as he loved that show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom99 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I bought this one at K Mart in 1979, right after I purchased my yellow 1979 Mustang Turbo Coupe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul alflen Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Tom99, I believe those cars were on metal Tonka Truck car carriers in the late 1960's and 1970"s. Boys please correct me if I am wrong!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
