Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I've just flipped over and seeing all the adverts I remember for things that I couldn't have or came out when I was an adult. It's making me feel a bit old.

I searched and found a yoda Star Wars action figure. 'Twas the dogs danglies!

I also busted two Luke sky walkers with the extending light sabre. Gutted now to see on toy hunter how much they are worth now ha ha.

Spent hours with meccano and action men.

I had the spectrum +2 instead of the amstrad or commodore. Spent hours with the screwdriver adjusting the screw in the tape recorder trying to get my copied games to work ha ha
