LEGOs were fun but for whatever reason,
I truly loved Construx because I’m a nerd at heart.
You could make "big vehicles".
My Mom told me,
"You built this huge Aircraft Carrier at age seven"
(so, I got that going for me)

Life span = 1-day of play
How fast can you lose those little disks?

64

Although Nerf gun is obviously BETTER, the disk guns were a quick drugstore purchase.
AND, way less expensive.

65

Basically, my parents paid to shut-up me and my two brothers.
Here, go to the basement and let us watch M.A.S.H.
(it was a hit TV show for Team too young to have ever heard of it)

I mean, look at that “let’s fight” grin…

What could beat the Turtles???

Going to a garage sale with my Mom, after church and they were selling an old AT-AT for 10 Bucks.
YEAHHHHHHHHHH

The lasers and head moved.
It was my DREAM TOY.

Now for the TMNTs.
Here’s the real killer…
