Hi everyone!

I've already posted a little bit here already, but I thought I'd officially introduce myself.

I'm 25, and from Philly. I love 80s toys!!! When ebay first started, I was so excited because I could buy all the toys I lost growing up (which are 90% of them), and love them all over again.

I think 80 toys are the best, and I wonder why they stopped making such cool toys. The toys nowadays aren't quite as good as ours were. I have actually considered trying to work for a toy company so I could invent better toys. I think that's one of my dream jobs. :)

I'm actually not too fond of 80s music, although I give credit to those who do like it (my boyfriend loves Depeche Mode), but I love 80s kid shows.

Pinwheel is one of my favorites. I'll be posting a message about that in the general chat section, so I won't be redundant. As far as toys I have collected, I have some Clown Arounds, a Charmkin, Fisher Price Cash Register, and I almost bought a Keyper once. (I try not to buy every thing I want, because that would make me way more poor than I already am)

So, I think that's me in a nutshell. Feel free to ask questions if there's more info you would like to know. Until then, have fun!

Hi Deighcow! :welcome

Thanks for posting your intro! Make yourself comfy and post as often as you like!

I have some Keypers and I used to LOVE Charmkins. I had the one that were sunglasses so they were girls that I called "twins" (lol), one on each side of the lens. :love

I am really happy you found us! Welcome!! :D

Welcome to 80s Toyland!!! :wave :welcome

What a cool idea to get into a company to invent toys! How do you get a job like that?

Hi Hi welcome!!!

You live in Philly? I live in PA too-northeast PA-schuylkill county :)


I think you live the closest to me :wave
anyhoo-welcome & enjoy your stay

Hello.
I hear you about ebay. I never knew there were so many my little ponies! I buy 80's toys all the time at thrift stores and sell the stuff that I don't collect on ebay. That's my way of helping other 80's toy collectors and making money to buy the stuff I want. Works out well.
Anyways, I love 80's music, but mostly the hair band stuff.
And I have never heard of Pinwheel. I checked the link in your other post but nothing rang a bell.
