I was so posh I had this...

 

Yours on eBay "in pristine condition" for the bargain price of £600 !!!  (plus £15 p&p!)

(That's not me trying to bag that ridiculous amount for it by the way, it's just one of the first things I saw when searching for a pic)

@rj1986 That was definitely cool.  I don't think I ever saw one in action, I'll be searching YT for it
It also puts me in mind of the rather older "Flight Deck"...

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/27342/flight-deck

 

I can't remember if I got it for birthday or Xmas, but I do know that 
a) It was a brilliant idea    
b) the long lengths of fishing line that suspended the plane got tangled up in 0.07 nanoseconds and it never worked again. 

I still had fun with the model plane and the flight controls, but I bet my dad was pissed off that I wrecked it before he got a go

I must have been a right spoilt Cnut, I had all 3 (not at the same time), flight deck definitely was my favourite of the 3, although I also remember having a helicopter game that a chopper flew in circles on a weighted rod, & you had to pick up & deliver payloads, anybody remember that one ?

[RostokMcSpoons]

I vaguely do, but not even my rich cousin had that!

 

He had Ricochet which was my most favourite thing ever

 

Slightly more related to pew-pewing, I really wanted Tin Pan Alley. I didn't get that, I ended up with two proper air rifles and eventually a .22 rimfire target rifle.  So swings and roundabouts ?

Friday night rules, here's a cover of Poker Face performed on piano, guitar, ukulele, table-thump, and stylophone, entirely conceived, played, sung, filmed and edited by one teenager with a potato-cam.

 

 

Pokerface was definatly what i needed after today, thank you.

Yup, I had that

I cannot remember for the life of me what it was called 

I was hooked with BigTrak & Starbird around that time too ??‍♂️

Awww that's cool.  And reminded me of my toy gun collection... 

• A Mauser 98-style rifle with a working bolt and dummy cartridges that it could eject.   That was so cool that when I started to outgrow it I cut off the butt plate and made a wooden extension for it.
• An SLR that fired little grey plastic bullets (Airfix again!  Mine was all black but here's the wooden stock version, surprisingly realistic looking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFye5s3qrlc)
• I pestered my dad into making me a Sten and an Mp40 too.  As he was good at woodwork and DIY they came out very well
• Three plastic kit replica pistols from either Tamiya or LS, they were 1:1 scale... I had a .25 ACP auto, a Python .357 Magnum and a P38.  All with dummy bullets and working actions.  They must have been quite sturdy as I can't remember them breaking to the point I couldn't glue them back together.

 

Blimey, what goes around comes around... regressing back to childhood... well over 50 years old and playing with toy guns again

I'll take your slr cause I had one as well but I will raise you a 'Man from Uncle' hard briefcase. It had a knife that ejected from the side when secret button was pressed and the whole case unfolded into a rifle. There was also a radio inside.

I thought I was proper cool walking Down high street with it. Lol. I was only about seven.

Regards ?

Actually it was a Raleigh with rod brakes and a fixed sprocket. Going downhill you had to take your feet off the pedals other wise you would be going up and down like a jockey on Angel dust lol

[RostokMcSpoons]

I made a terrible boo-boo... I said 'Ricochet' when I should have said 'Crossfire'

 

 

*That* is the greatest thing ever.

 

Will you ever forgive me???

[Tactical Pith Helmet]

No you're not forgiven.  You have to walk Gaylord around the block in an I Love Kicking Mustang T-shirt.
