To be honest i wasnt really a lego, action man, mechano type of boy, it bored me to tears 
i had to have remote cars or the newest bike, something more hands on, or scalextrics etc.
Ohh i can still smell the burning that used to come from the inside of the plastic hand controllers from using it so much

I had a TCR too. Someone told me that to clean the tracks, you simply rub a coin across them. It did work, but once I forgot to unplug it first. Fucked.
Astro Wars (Hand-held game) was the nuts, I think I still have mine somewhere.
I remember having a fucking great bike-light too, which was like a flag-pole that went down by the rear wheel and the whole thing illuminated.

My brother had a hoffman which was the nuts at the time, i had a bit of a special diamond back.
never as good as his though. He was the only kid in the area with a hoffman, was about 5-600 if i remeber rightly, Think that was probably 90s though.
My mate had a haro the yellow one.
I ended up buying a GT with mag wheels at one point.
Everybody had to have alex rims at one time.

I had/have the scalectrix 3dr cosworth one. Texaco and shell cars.
Had the bigfoot monster truck with the red and yellow contols on the top of it. I remember that black bmx with the noise thing in the middle. Was never alowed one. I'm sure it was called wild cat or something similar.
