I had the lego shuttle before that:
Screw normal lego, I love the Technic stuff
.
holy bleeping bleep that’s awesome!
I still have the components to the lego star wars technic Limited run of the droid developer kit. not everything works mind you, and a few key parts have gone AWOL, not to mention that the motor piece is defective after a decade of ill-use. I have it with the full intentions of unloading it upon my half-brother when he turns seven or eight.
Oh fuck yeah capsela was awesome, you felt like a scientist when you made stuff with that :freeman:
hotwheels and those dinosaur models you could get at the science store.
Nostalgia thread is FTW.
EDIT: here, this guy was one of em I think:
@ the capsela toys: i fucking loved those things. Although looking back at it, it looks incredibly unsafe to bring with you in water, seeing as it has electrical parts that you can actively disassemble. :fffuuu:
also me and my brother were huge technics people. and of course:
FUUUUUUUCKING WIN I haven’t seen that space monorail thing in more than a decade Also from memory couldnt you also build that red spaceship thing into a robot?
I had me one o’ these.
…
…shut up! I loved that thing! I just wish I still had it.
For those poor souls that were deprived of such a thing, it was basically like ViewMaster Video. You get a cartridge you put into the container and there was a lens that magnified a filmstrip inside the cartridge. Turn the hand crank to advance the frames. Inside each cartridge was up to a 30-second video, IIRC. If you turn the crank forwards, the movie plays forwards. Move the crank the other way, it plays backwards.
…and before you attack its simplicity, I had a ball with it! And it actually was one of the things that got me interested in a possible career in movies, which I’m working like a dog to get into. 
My plan is to, one day, work for Pixar or Dreamworks or some other such company doing computer animation for movies. I’m not there by a LONG SHOT yet, but I’m working on it. Hopefully soon, I’ll be able to get a job in a small movie house or something. I can’t wait to tell people, “Hey, see that flag. That’s my flag! …third from the left…the blue one…Yeah, that one… THAT’S MINE!”
I have lofty goals.
And it’s thanks to the Movie Viewer from Fisher Price.
hahahaha oh damn, I had one like that too, only it wasn’t sesame street.
OMG, I had that one too 
EDIT: I also had this;
I used it to put my Star Wars guys in;
Also, Star Wars Micro Machines;
Dude I had them all
but they’re broken now
I had one of these;
I also had one that could project them on the wall, it looked like an oversized red flashlight, couldn’t find a picture though 
Man that thing was fucking awesome. Took me an entire day to assemble it.
But man. Automatic roof or wing doors, working transmission, V8 engine with working cylinders. God that thing was badass.
I actually took it to school. And me and pretty much all the guys in my class were sitting around it playing with it, when some girl stepped right in the center of the circle, right on the car. God I got so pissed at her. Haha
Must have been 10 years ago or something.
I had something similar, only mine was an S.U.V.
it had the v-6, some big-assed street tires, and an adjustable suspension
Got the first one lego made in the 80’s
And then many many more…
I think my dad had the one with the big-assed monster-truck tires from that era (most of its components now sit in a toolbox in my grandparents basement.)
I had one like that when I Was like 6
My Bro had the red Supercar, it was awesome.
.
of course ! ,I remember mine had Animals and Dinosaurs in it
p.s this is by far my most beloved Toy I ever had ,and I still have him ,if you want to see him please refer to the first post on this thread
